Blessing to have you, brother. I am inspired by your desire for the truth.
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." (John 14:6)
With a name like Antonious you'll fit in just fine ;)
As the bosom of our Lord is open to all who seek Him, the doors of the church are open to all who seek her. I am confident that as long as you are respectful, the Coptic people will welcome you…
Dear imikhail or ophadece (or anyone else who wishes to chime in):
I am curious, what is at stake for you if the Coptic language is no longer spoken? What if in all COCs there is little to no prayer in Coptic, what then? Why do you cling to a langu…

They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. In your case 'Retarded' you are just pathetic. You have no personality of your own and so copy an …
Dear Irishpilgrim,
Another well written post, indeed. Thoughtful and filled with powerful language. However, you did not answer most of my questions or address my main concern: What will this male-dominated (that is the appropriate term, like it o…

I mean if people disagree with the OP's request, we should discuss why that is before rashly providing the lyrics. What is wrong with discussion? ophadece has a valid concern, albeit not very well expressed.
My intuition is that singing the hymns i…

If I might make one comment, CIA dominated that interview and dodged most of the tough questions. . .he is just great on the spot.
There are several reasons for keeping the Pentateuch along with the other scriptures written before Christ. This decision was in no way a clear cut one. There was debate. A man by the name of Marcion, along with others, felt that Jesus was a more su…
Dear Marmar,
Don't be saddened by this accident. It was just that - an accident. Mistakes happen. What is important is what can be learned from them.
This collection sounds great and 11 years is a long time. You may not be able to get all those t…

Actually from what I understand, people in the field of medicine don't take psychiatrists and psychologists seriously. Mainly because it isn't as difficult to attain those degrees. This is a generalization, of course, but what I hear from people in …
If whoever you think about marrying laughs at whatever your degree may be, I would think twice about that relationship. Do what you love and use the talents God gave you, that's all that matters. For some that is construction work, for others a care…

That's right, but does that compensate for his evading the authorities? He never turned himself in. Who knows if he could have escaped. Maybe he saw his fate was inevitable and accepted it because he knew it was a just end.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the monks hide St. Moses the Ethiopian from the authorities? If so, what makes this case different from his?
