HGBY: "Using raffle tickets as fund raisers to build additions to churches, purchase playground equipment or furnish a library is not permissible. We should not tempt others to donate money to God's Houses by promising a reward if you are "lucky." T…
I'm not going to reply to post #32 because you're being funny.
As with the Church getting labeled as immoral: why does it matter what the Church is labeled as? People can label it with whatever they please, but to us, it's what it is.
I change my…
Says on bbc: "Internet and phone services - both mobile and landline - have been severely disrupted, although protesters are using proxies to work around the restrictions."
You know Egyptians-- always finding the loophole around things ;)
Zoxasi is zealous and full of passion and love, he is just frustrated and that I can understand.
Not sure who you're referring to in the first part of that statement, but if Thoxsasi wants to leave, then he has my approval.
I don't think it's ever ever ever ever ever ever acceptable for deacons to act this way, but it can be tolerated and accepted from laymen. After all, we are nothing but the foot of soldiers among marines and captains.
I'm funny.
See, that's too extreme of a scenario. Can we talk about covering up for a friend to save from parent-nervous-breakdowns? Or parking where you're not supposed to be parking? Or telling a "little" lie to prevent further damage?
What do you think GOD…
Today I peeled off the parking sticker from my car and parked in the visitor's parking lot on campus. I did it because it's much closer to the entrance and I had to pick up textbooks and walk them to my car. I get severe pain when carrying heavy ite…
I'll have to be honest with you, I think sometimes doing a little wrong for the good is acceptable. Speaking from a Christian point of view, its never acceptable.. but I would personally cover up for a friend so parent's don't worry, and then confes…
You're not being Egyptian enough. I assume your conversation went something like this:
Guy: "I don't have any money on me right now, I will pay you tomorrow"
You: "You sure? Nah, it's ok, you don't have to"
Guy: "No really I will pay you tomorrow…
I don't understand, why are forcing Thoxsasi to stay? No one is forcing you, Thoxsasi, listen to your inner-conscious.. it's telling you to leave, I believe. (rhymes)
ILSMAAK (ILoveSaintMarkAndAnbaKaras), please edit number 4; it is incorrect.

TITL, this truly is a big task at hand, but if God is with us then who can be against us. I hate to sound so polarized but its the truth of the matter.

What task?…
I have no idea what is going on in this thread (I stopped reading after my last post), but in regards to Fr. Peter's last post, I can give an educated guess and say that most -if not all- the churches in America not belonging in HGBY's diocese are a…
Is it a bad idea if I use google translate then retype it in English letters? I tried listening to the recording you posted, but I couldn't make out some of the words-- it's not clear.
Let me know.
How about David Copperfield? Magic shows are always fun.
Abanoub, if you want people to start taking this topic seriously then I suggest you change the title of this thread to "Protestantism in Coptic Churches"
My chest really hurts. You picked the wrong day to make me laugh.
You forgot one though:
12. Inviting guest speakers from different denominations to give the sermon. We could invite Oprah.
haha mabsoota is cute.
Father Peter,
This is where the saying, 'The weak go to the wall' comes from.
I think every person will find an excuse to be counted with the weak, since there is no definite answer to who the weak are. My guess would be an…
