No not at all. Genesis is way too vague for us to be able to say that for sure. But its far from impossible. The fact is, animals started in the sea, got more complex as time went on and finally ended up with what we have today. That's an undisputed…

Wait wait wait...hold on. I think evolution is recieving a bit more aggression than it deserves you know. It has quite a bit of evidence going for it, and its not irrational to believe in. I think it has a few holes in it, but it could easily be tru…

Bigee, congrats. You know all those problems you were talking about, well I've felt that feeling before as well and every time, its always meant "Don't worry, I'm still with you." I think its about more than you just reading the Agbeya. Its incred…

Anyone and everyone knows that murder and adultery are wrong, you don't need to know God to know that. Adam and Eve ate of the Tree of Knowledge and as a result, objective morals exist within the heart of every single human being. I don't think just…

That's exactly right Anba Bishoy! I think its silly how people hide from this topic. How does that make us look to non-believers? Like we've got something to hide. That's not what we want. "..sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being re…

You're right Anba Bishoy, its normal for EVERYONE to doubt now and then, but you shouldn't be afraid of it. When you experience doubt, you could take it 2 ways, you can either hide from it or you can explore it and discover the truth. Every time you…

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=7244.msg96890#msg96890 date=1226263462] If God exists - it has to be proven - once and for all!!!! [/quote] Were it so easy :( There is no definitive proof that God exists. But by the same token, you have no defin…

Hey josephgabriel, But are you saying that addictive sins is a unwinnable situation? I've heard repeatedly that repentance is more a gift from God than a conscious, willing leaving behind of the sin because most of the time, we are too weak to leav…
-
Yeah this is a tough question, but the thing is we'll never be able to get a definitve answer simply because we aren't God. The reasoning athiests like your T.A. seemed to be proposing goes like this: 1. Evil things happen. 2. If God is all-good,…

[quote author=mahraeel link=topic=7272.msg96421#msg96421 date=1225160767] However, YOU ARE NOT BORN GAY. Never! I mean if God says Homosexuality is a sin, then why would the creator of all beings create you GAY? I mean does it make sense? [/quote] …

Go Obama! But I agree, I think there is a very very big chance that he will be assassinated. Its inevitable. Every black person in America who's tried and succeeded in making a difference has been killed (Martin Luther King, Malcolm X etc...). Good…

That's really shallow and ULTRA-conservative... Doesn't he wear black 24/7? Hehehehe I don't think its a sin to disagree with abouna, especially on tiny little things like that. I wouldn't argue with him about anything like theology, unless you're…

[quote author=binC link=topic=7253.msg96434#msg96434 date=1225205328] I wish you would help me too by finding writing of the early holy fathers who clearly stated in their statements that the catholic and the protestants are heretics. Wh…

Well put gmankbadi! I agree one hundred percent. You just highlighted a very important point: that the core, the really important doctrines of Christianity are far more important than aesthetics. It sounds obivous but then again, there are people …

I wish it was for something better though lol! They're like kids fighting over easter eggs...

Welcome!!! We'll all be happy to answer whatever questions you may have! Just ask :) WELCOME TO THE SITE!

Many people disagree, but I firmly believe that faith and Science can co-exist very very happily! They don't contradict each other, they compliment each other. Faith is the Who and Science is the How. The only reason intelligent design is regarded a…

Jinns are in the Koran too belive it or not...some sort of spirits that do Allah's bidding i think

It really does depend on the context. I know that violence can be used well in the context of a particualr setting as a tool for the storytelling. If the violence serves a purpose, I don't think there's anyhting wrong with that, its like using dialo…

There is one thing that's always bothered me...I have heard many different explanations and for the most part I'm satsified, but I still have some quarrels... How do you explain the genocidal and violent orders of God in the Old Testament? Like the…
-
Well, quite simply, your friend is wrong. It cannot be explained by sciences. It is a FACT that modern science is still completely oblivious as the origin of life which leaves a gaping hole in the theory of evolution. The whole evolution situation i…

[quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=7244.msg96137#msg96137 date=1224650341] Atheists regard themselves are "humanists" - people that do charitable deeds and good deeds out of the goodness of their heart. THey propose and claim that someone doesn't hav…

[quote author=minagir link=topic=7244.msg96093#msg96093 date=1224626417] personally, i think atheists are just very unintelligent human beings (meaning another word i can't say here). [/quote] Were it so easy...no unfortunately that just ain't true…

Yes the fact that there is no particualr UAI involved changes things a bit, I've obviously heard rumours. All of what you've said makes sense, and I'm sure the contract works for many of the people that use it. But, there are some who use it wrongly…

Thanks godislove, its true, the HSC isn't the key to heaven, its the road to a very narrow spectrum of possible paths in life. There's an entire world outside of it! God does amazing things for us when we let Him :)

I reckon ppl worry too much about their UAI...there really are other ways to get around in life. I mean of course its great to have, but people love to panic about it much more than they need to. It's just that classic Egyptian mentality I suppose, …

Its based in Sydney (our capital) but I think ppl from all over Australia involved in the activities they run. :) But most of it is just for ppl who've already graduated from uni so that sucks... :( Can anyone attend the ECCYC?

Ah ok. We have a similar thing called COYA (Coptic Orthodox Youth Association) and they do camps and stuff for us too.
