nope... it does not.. cuz it's usually taken on a case-by-case basis... there is no clear cut black or white on this issue from the church's p.o.v. -mary

that little voice that says "do it!" in the back of our mind is just a glimpse of the spiritual war that is going on while we are unaware... you know what i mean? that little devil that's always portrayed on the left shoulder is actually the voice o…

i always looked at it as... the devil has been around a lot longer than we have, so he's pretty much trained to deal with almost everything we can think of... it's not so much as that the devil can read ur mind, as it is that he's been there done th…

please please keep in mind that the church does NOT recognize the greek church as our sister church.. for reason unbeknownst to me... we do not consider them our sister church for a reason... but i don't think that it deals anything with the divinit…

double check ur information... cuz i don't think that's possible..

i'm sorry to say this.. but to me.. this seems like 8 pages (minus the people making dogmatic/theological points) of people trying to justify something in your own minds, or looking for the thumbs up to go ahead and do something we've already been t…

C.S Lewis is a good author... random fact: he used to be athiest..

"You have said, 'It is useless to serve God; What profit is it that we have kept His ordinance, And that we have walked as mourners Before the Lord of hosts? So now we call the proud blessed, For those who do wickedness are raised up; They even temp…

no no... the letters we use.. [coptic]a b g...[/coptic] very much resemble the greek letters of Alpha and Beta... the SOUNDS however, come from the heiroglyphics... the origin of coptic actually only came around because the Copts wanted a way to com…

quick verse "And Jesus said to him, "Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise." Luke 23:43 "He answered and said to them, "Because it has been given to you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it has not …

coptic is actually based on the letters of ancient hyroglyphics.. but instead of symbols, they became greek letters.. the reason so many coptic words sound like arabic is because it's actually the reverse.... the arabic words we know and love are ac…

well at the time of the council, St. Athanasius was just a deacon, but in order to speak at the council, he had to be at least the rank of priest. so right in the middle of the proceedings, since he had the zeal of the Spirit within him, an attendin…

nope... immaculate conception actually does deal with Saint Mary, and our church refutes it for the reason taishori3 has already mentioned.. but i see where you're coming from... -mary

i never knew that St. Athanasius was a red head... don't think that it makes much a difference in his saintly-hood.. but definetly a cool fact! -mary

quick fact... once a man becomes an archdeacon, he becomes consecrated to the church... he becomes almost a like a monk living amongst us laymen... i'm guessing more ppl don't jump at the opportunity to become archdeacons since it is truly a lifetim…

... so basically... hate the sin but love the sinner, for those are the one's with whom Jesus had dinner.. -mary

ah! but don't forget that with every westernized idea comes a forgotten true symbolism... except the candy cane.. that one was a stretch.

i think this whole topic has taken a weird turn somewhere... everyone must understand that no1 can take OWNERSHIP of a forum just because they started it, and it also gives no right to anyone posting to feel free to bash (harsh word.hehehe) another'…

quick fact... "Orthodox" comes from ortho- meaning straight and -dox meaning dogma or faith.. if we change, we wouldn't really be orthodox now would we? :) also, the calculations that were made that decided on Jan. 7 as being our Christmas takes up…

although the book is absolutely amazing, read with discernment. you have to take into account that Joshua Harris is not a Copt, nor does he necessarily portray our views. he makes it a point to make it completely non-denomenational, so all i'm sayin…
