This is way beyond my capabilities, so I will refer you to two books that will hopefully answer most of your questions. The Nature of Christ by Pope Shenouda: http://www.orthodoxebooks.org/node/32 Meaning of the Holy Trinity by Fr. Abraam Sleman:…

Here is some food for thought: In our lives there may be some of our friends and family who don't know God, nor love him, which greatly saddens us. However this doesn't hinder us from being happy with God also, nor to be joyful in him, though we a…

Hey Geomike, How great is our God!!!! I was in the middle of reading an article by Bishop Youssef about this very subject when I saw your post. Here is the link to the article: http://www.suscopts.org/messages/lectures/pneumlecture4.pdf Pope Sh…

Hello all, I have great news for all that read Arabic. We are adding an arabic orthodoxebooks. Through your prayers God sent laborers from Egypt who have many books they want to upload, and who are working on the Orthodoxebooks. It is not completel…

There is a great book on Marriage by H.G. Bishop Bola at this link: http://www.orthodoxebooks.org/node/87. The first chapter specifically is called how to choose your partner, and I feel that it can be very beneficial to you. Please pray for me, …

I think minagir is right. I just watched something that said the name on the coffin was jeshua (yeshua), meaning either Joshua or Jesus. This video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziaoNA25niM&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL should be adequate.…

Hi Stavro, I hope we can keep our calmness and not let this discussion become a heated argument. I'm not very knowledgeable in these subjects as I'm not a theologian. I don't yet understand all that occured at Chalcedon, other than general basics.…

I'm not very knowledgeable about Marriage, but I've found two very helpful links. Here is one article about How to Choose Your Life Life Partner: http://www.copticchurch.org/node/150 Here is another by St. John Chrysostom: http://stnoufer.files.w…

I believe that our faith is either completely alike to that of the Eastern, or very close to it, and I'm not unwarranted in this either. My brother Stavro, we cannot say that the Chalcedonians are Nestorian. This is about as accurate as calling u…

Thanks to all for your answers. I'll check out many of these links. Hopefully God will help clear this up soon. It'll take some digging, as the topic of the wills in Christ is not as discussed as the Unity of His Nature, but God willing I'll be …

Here is a small commentary on the verse by St. John Chrysostom: "The temporal matters are called outward matters, since they are away from us. Let us change them to inward matters. If we are unable to carry its riches with us when we depart from he…

The synaxarium says: When he grew up he was known as James the Just source here This leads me to the conclusion that we believe they were both the same person.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c5csSijSaA8 This is a video of her coming out and saying she is a Christian. There is much controversy over the issue with many stories floating around. There are countless versions of stories due to each person hear…

Hey guys, The vidoe of H.G. Bishop Suriel's launching of the site has been uploaded and is here: http://www.orthodoxebooks.org/launch I'd also like to apologise for the faulty link I posted, and because I just figured out that there is in fact no…

Hey John_S2000, I don't think we need so much help with converting them as we found an automatic converter that automatically did all of them at the same time. We do need help in editing them though, or uploading them to the site, and there is no s…

Hey Hos Erof, Which books have some words marked yellow? We seem to be having some problems with Fr. Tadros Malaty's commentaries i.e. page numbers don't match up with the indexes etc. We need all your prayer's and help guys as we are experienci…

I heard this from my servant after one of the youth told him that someone was yelling at her because she was doing metanias with her fist open and leaning on her palm because her knuckles hurt: "When we prostrate with our fists clenched it signifie…

We are pleased to announce that the site was officially launched Sunday 10/27 by H.G. Bishop Suriel. I will add the link to the video of it as soon as it is uploaded. Please pray for me and for the site, Anba Bola

Hey Zoxasi, God willing there will be an app for it in the future, but I'm not sure when that will be. As for now here are the steps to download the books. 1. Open the app store, search for "Stanza", and install it. This is a free app. 2. In Sa…

Hey Zoxasi, I found something by Pope Shenouda on the matter. It is only 2 pages and a quarter, so it isn't too long. It is at this link: http://www.orthodoxebooks.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/Words%20of%20Spiritual%20Benefit%20Volume%20I%20-%20H…

This link contains a book by Pope Shenouda of which page 86-90 are about Melchizedek: http://www.orthodoxebooks.org/sites/default/files/pdfs/Many%20Years%20with%20the%20Problems%20of%20People%20P%20-%20HH%20Pope%20Shenouda%20III.pdf In the link Po…

It is by Fr. Athanasius Iskander of St. Mary's Coptic Orthodox Church of Kitchener, Ontario, Canada. The church site is here: http://www.stmaryscopticorthodox.ca/

Apparently 100% of the proceeds go to the coptic church. See: http://www.visionsandmiracles.com/about.html

Dear Ioannes, Forgive me my brother. I think you may have misunderstood what I meant (I wasn't too clear). I was talking about the issue of how old the Earth is and not evolution. Macro evolution is not accepted in the Orthodox church and has many…

Guys let us not get too caught up in this. Whether the days were literal or not is not a doctrine or dogma. It is ok to discuss this in a healthy manner, but let us not turn it into a heated debate. If we are to talk this out, let us do this in a Ch…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=9854.msg120822#msg120822 date=1287180136] I agree anba bola. There is no sense in responding. Many of them are not capable of understanding because their hearts are hardened and or they do not want to understand. So …

Hi all, The poster of the video is a muslim as shown by his other videos, which quote quran verses, and say that Islams heaven is the truth. Pray for me, Anba Bola

It's funny you ask, because I was just reading a passage about how to be humble. It said that the most important thing to do is to pray for humility, with faith that God will give you it, and take away your pride. Furthermore, something that helps m…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=9854.msg120766#msg120766 date=1287087570] Do you think this problem will be "solved"? [/quote] I'm sure that if God wills it will be solved. Let us not forget the moving of the mountain in Egypt. If it had not occu…
