Do BOC priests shave their beards? I know a priest who got ordained last year and his beard is already 4 inches.. then again I know a monk who has only 3 hairs on his chin.
I think I'm done with my random, pointless questions for now. I'll let you…
I can't get over that accent.
Can you give your next sermon in an American accent? It will help me to stay focused.
PS You look exactly like your avatar.. I don't see why that would put people off? lol
I did not mean to condemn the service; your first post left me with a good deal of assumptions, and for that I apologize. Thank you for clearing things up.
I am sure the text messages are of great use to a number of people (as they are for you), b…
GODlovesme,
If the readings for each day are roughly around 7,843 characters (I used today's readings) and my phone counts every 160 characters in one text, then I will be getting around 49 texts everyday.. not including "Word of the Day", which is…
I was raising my hand because I wanted to answer the questions, but now that you've answered I think it would be best if I just sat in a corner and stayed quiet.
Palestinians weren't on my mind.
CAN ANYONE POSSIBLY TELL ME WHICH PORTION OF SEMITES HAVE DONE SO?
(raising hand)
Can anyone spell "The End of the World" if that happens.
(raising hand again)
What do people think, are we being taught differently by our parents/church/arabic cultur…
Ok, I have another idea.. how about we add a new feature to the forum section called "Word of the Day" (like verse of the day :P). Instead of posting in a thread everyday (it'll reach a billion pages first of all, and second of all Maged wouldn't be…
I just came up with a brilliant idea! How about Ophadece teaches us a conversational Coptic words everyday. By conversational, I don't mean liturgy words lol. For example, we can start easy with just simple phrases: "how are you" "im doing well, tha…
I am sorry, but I disagree. The Christian faith is not a matter of logic.
Indeed St Paul teaches us that the content of the Gospel is foolishness to the so-called wise people of the world.
But I thought the Gospel would pass the logic test.. if the…
I just asked my parents and they don't agree with me, go figure. They told me that St. Mary cannot convince God for something that isn't His will; He won't allow it. I have been assuming and misunderstanding that scene in Tamav Erini's movie. When S…
Coptic Boy,
You might read that verse and think it is directed to Christians, to go and kill His enemies, but that is most definitely not what He means. The people who do not want God to reign over them have rejected God completely in their lives. …
How about I answer my own question, and you correct me? :) Good plan.
I believe God's will doesn't always happen. For example, He wills for no one to sin, but we do..etc.
I also believe (and this may be the part where no one agrees with me) that…
Let me rephrase my question with more appropriate wording (but same idea) : Does God's Will always happen? He doesn't change His mind, but through prayers and intercessions, can He allow for something that wasn't His will to happen? Again, like with…
I didn't think Sodr2 was raised in Egypt. I thought he just went to school there. I'm pretty sure BrideforChrist is from Egypt though (born and raised there).
ilovesaintmark,
After reading and memorizing the Gospel of Saint Mark, I can guess one of the reasons why you love him. His Gospel is the most brief, to the point, and direct Gospel from the four. Your posts have a very similar style.
Father Pete…
LHM,
Mabsoota is our mother, a great one if I may add. I would take her advice and PM her with more details if I were you. You can trust her.
You're in my prayers.
He can't read your thoughts, but he can guess what you're thinking. He can predict what you're going to do next, based on your previous actions. He knows if you're thinking about sin. He knows when God is on your mind. He knows your secrets. He was …
