  • I do not know if this is a fact but when my Dad died I was14yrs old. He and I were very close, and I had a dream that he came to me. I was afraid (of course) he looked different. I had never seen anything like it before, but in studying art, we came…
  • I like the action Jesus took in the corrupt Church: Make a whip and beat them out of the Church!
  • The devil runs from the sign of the cross. Evil flees, peace stay's.
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6832.msg92453#msg92453 date=1215565134] Can someone just explain: when we die, what happens to us? Where do our souls go? If our souls are part of our bodies, then does this mean that this dies with our bodies? So, …
  • St. Mark's in Jersey City, New Jersey God bless you
  • QT_, Listen to your FoC. He has explained the answer to your question perfectly. If we are blessed we are punished for our sins on earth. I think we get too 'full' of ourselves and think we do not deserve the 'bad things' that happen to us. Onl…
  • You know, i think this world is always on about age, making us in too much of a hurry to 'do' when we are young, but if we slow down and open our eyes we can see God saves some of the most important and hardest works for us in our 'old' age. Remembe…
  • I like how St. John puts it when he say's: In the beginnining was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. My understanding of this is that we once were God's Word and we all knew as we were known.  That's why Adam knew Eve as his …
  • Well from a fanciful female point of view, I like to think that Adam and Eve did know one another before they married and Adam consented and more to her (Eve's) existence. Eve was (is) a gift to Adam. A helper in his great works. A part of his fles…
  • Show her some more points from H.H. Pope Shenouda's writings on Jehovah's witnesses. Pray for her, let her know she is following heresy and in danger of eternal torment in hell fire.
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6836.msg91893#msg91893 date=1214772209] Hang on... The Psalm for the Bible reading in www.copticpope.com is different than the CopticChurch.net lectionary??? [/quote] It's not different.....read the lectionary t…
  • Yes, I do not think Adam was being malicious when he failed to confess his sin. Just like how many are today, I think he was embarrassed and unused to having to confess sins. Even in Adams case there was no sin before. We can become ashamed of ourse…

  • Greetings, I think we can translate 'justification' in this instance to mean 'faith'. Jesus Christ was allowed by God to die for our sins and raised to life as the fullfillment of the faith. This chapter speaks of the 'faith' of our father Abraha…
  • Certainly will remeber u in my prayers, copt4eva, these are trying times we are living in. You are not alone. God's peace and love to u
  • Much thanks for sharing this link! It is an anwer to prayers! May God continue to bless HH Pope Shenouda 111, in Jesus Christ's name!
  • I have really found the Coptic net Lectionary to be a blessing! An answer to prayers! It is so easy; just click on and read! I know there must be a book that show's you the daily readings, but I do not have it. I do not like to be soley dependent o…
  • I think today's Gospel reading describes soul and spirit perfectly: Luke 1: 39-56               And Mary said,                                   My soul magnifies the Lord,                                   And my spirit has rejoiced in God my S…

  • I was quoting from a book I got in Ethiopia called 'The Spiritual Man' by Watchman Nee. It's in 3 volume's! Here's a direct quote: "Naturally a believer should understand that in Christ he is a new creation. As such, the Holy Spirit indwells his sp…
  • Communication with God occurs through our spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:11;5:4;14:14,32. Our soul is "the seat of our personality". The elements which make us human belong to the soul. Genesis 12:5;46:27 "The spirit and the body are merged in the soul w…
  • godislove260, Maybe you can study 'Medical Law' and use your talents. It seems to be a growing field.
  • Yea, MikeforJesus, I agree with Meena_Ameen. That devil is always looking for ways to make our lives miserable. Fast and pray. God will show you the way. God has a perfect plan for your life as well. Lot's of times we miss out following our own will…

  • [quote author=josephgabriel link=topic=6780.msg90955#msg90955 date=1213735094] I am very weak spiritually, and am trying through God's grace and my FoC to get closer to God. But when (or if) I ever suceed in just partially establishing a relationshi…
  • I really don't like bully's. An adult needs to talk to that guy and/or his parents. You can't have someone just going around ill-treating people like that! If he is not stopped he could really end up hurting someone badly and causing otherwise good …
  • Christrules, Before you start taking any medications check out this website: www.ted.com. It has different lectures on it. Look up the speaker Sir Ken Robinson he talks about creativity and education. This is not a direct link to his lecture. They …

  • St. Gebriel: The bearer of good news, who doesn't like 'good news'  :). I like that he is a soldier as well. I would like to learn how to use a bow and arrow and sword. St. Mary: She is the Perfect example of the Perfect Mother. She has so much lov…
  • For me, I think all evil and bad things come from the Devil. I think he and his minions come in all shapes and sizes, forms and formats. Jesus did much healing of people who were possessed with demons. In Matthew 17:14-18, He rebukes a demon in a y…
