I just want to say thank you very much to the people who replied to my question. Its something that ive been thinking about for a few years and was a little confused about. Its good to know that im coptic through and through though :P Even if i have…
hi why, the article said the clash happened at Odaysat which is very close to luxor. Also, a further update is that one coptic is now dead, and so baba shenuda is sending 7 bishops to attend to the funeral. Rabana maak
just one comment about peoples colour. lil_missy you have to realise that climate has everything to do with colour, yarni people in england or course will be white, and people in sudan of course will be black - this feature alone is 100% a result of…
thanks mikhail, a_deacon, and marmar91 for that! It clears alot up for me for now. I mean i dont drink anyway, but was wondering if it was totally haram to have a drink here and there.. Rabana Maak
Thanks to all who contributed to that!! Things make a lot more sense now!! I originally thought that what was being said was that jesus was not born of a virgin birth, which surprised me quite so. However i can see now where i misunderstood what was…
just 2 points from my thoughts. Firstly, coptic servant, i dont think we can know if christ had long hair. Most people have this misconception he had long hair from the representation of christ in the west as white, blue eyed, and long blonde hair. …
hmmmm... to be honest i think alot of what viv says is correct. I mean a lot of christians in the west done appreciate freedom of religion as much as coptics do because it is taken for granted. The only think i didnt agree with viv is what she said …
that is so true! I believe that we should certainly we aware of whats happening, but saturation in those events may cause violence, hatred etc. Instead we should always be attempting to sow the seed of peace whereever we go! Ultimately we need to re…
in further agreeance of what everyone has said, if you remember baba kyrillos' biography it happened that at christmas time (when he was a child) he said to his family to give up all their feast to the their poor muslim turkish neighbours. By saying…
what copticservant says is 100% right! treat others as you wish to be treated! Also, princessmary, the reason muslims are getting angry now is because the play was made into a dvd 2 years ago but has only been seen by muslims today.. i mean i havent…
Sorry, yeah i knew, probably should have said that. Ive actually got quite a few of naguib mahfouz's books and i really recommend everyone to read them!!! Midaq Alley, the harafish, and the cairo trilogy are all exceptionally good!!!
happy new year all! Anyway im just wondering if anyone knows why we call it nayrouz? Because i know in iran the new year is call nu ruz and i was wondering if there was any connection? Rabana Maak! ;D
thanks very much chuck2 and safaa for your help!!! unfortunately the clip are only in ram, would you happen to know any site where they can be download in windows media player format? Again thank you very much for your help!!!!!!!! ;D ;D
The pic of Baba Kyrillos is posted now (there is also a slightly clearer version on http://www.kyrillos.com/). I know about the wolf stories, of them coming to the windmill, and sleeping outside, and people often seeing them etc. But the story of ba…
whats all just been said has been very interesting, but i have a question slighty off topic about gay people. Ok, im at uni in australia, and being such backward people (australians are), you really wouldnt believe how many gay people there are here…
Thank you very much!!!!!!!!!! I really enjoyed that!!!!!!! I feel like printing if off, and whenever people just assume that all egyptians are muslim showing it to them!!!!! Thanks and Allah Khaleek!
ok kiro and peter i repect the fact very much that you are defending our holy father.
I do agree that his holiness is a very holy man. Whether he can ir cant do miracles i dont know (and im not sure whether he can or cant is a measure of holiness...…
firstly i did make a point to say no one get offended! secondly, just to make this point, i have nothing at all agains our pope! he does his job very well! all i was saying was that in my personal opinion he is not as much of a holy person at all li…
hi Safaa i understand what you are saying, but i dont agree with it... for example, every time i go to egypt i always go to the monastery of st mina and st kyrillos. and every time i go i feel it as a very spiritual experience! i mean it's a holy pl…
of course the attacks in sharm el sheikh are deplorable - i mean it is very depressing when you have egyptians killing egyptians! but it makes you think, who benefits from these attacks and only 2 groups come to my head. firstly the bush administrat…
hmm this is certainly a very interesting topic! I would think that the only reason our pope says we cant go to jerusalem would purely be relating to the political side of it i.e. we shouldnt visit the enemy terroritory etc. However I personally woul…
