George & GodisLove, Do you both consider yourselves as ARAB? Yes or No? And do you find this title insulting for you?? Thanks

Let me just rephrase the question or clarify a few points so we get to the bottom of this: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Egypt's OFFICIAL name is called "THE ARAB REPUBLIC OF EGYPT". If you d…

I just wanted to say, by the way, that someone actually did say those quotes I gave about Anba Angaelos. Not exactly word for word, but so similar. lol. . Anyway, yeah.. gays.. what can you do? Its dividing America - isnt it!? Even some poor lady…

This is really annoying. All those serving or teaching in the EYC are useless. They are not Coptic Orthodox. They are just kids who like protestant songs - and have enough favour with Anba Angaelos to be allowed to teach everyone this stuff. There…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=9624.msg118603#msg118603 date=1282814434] Our Lord was tempted and did not sin. Temptation is not sin. The Fathers teach us that we cannot stop the birds flying around the tree but we can stop them nesting. W…

Fr. Peter, I generally agree with what you said, but you say that "All homosexual acts are sins (NOT TEMPTATIONS)" - But for me, a temptation is a desire in the heart. And we are also judged according to what we allow our hearts to desire. So, …

[quote author=Emadgorgui link=topic=9459.msg118568#msg118568 date=1282732330] [quote author=Zoxsasi link=topic=9459.msg116602#msg116602 date=1279221894] If an Egyptian muslim converts to Christianity, would he be considered still an Arab in your e…

What bothers me is this: Western countries: Europe, America and even parts of Central America have a Christian majority population. Islam tends to spread by muslims marrying Christians. They don't seem to even care about whether the person believes…

Anyway, why aren't the Greeks lobbying for Cordoba House to be given to them? They could do with a cultural centre and Church also. The most acts of violence that will come from a Greek Orthodox Church and Centre is perhaps someone breaking a plat…

Anyway, I personally believe that discrimination against anyone is wrong. In fact, its a sin - there is no partiality in Christianity. Having said that, I really hope that if it is built that Americans will not be violent nor retaliate in any way.…

There's also going to be a backlash against anyone who is from Egypt. I mean, this is going to result in a lot of blind hatred. Americans won't understand what "coptic christian" is. They'll probably think its a sect of Islam. I always get this fro…

This situation worries me. I'm deeply worried for muslims. Im all for America's constitution which encompasses religious freedom; however, the wisdom behind building a 100 million dollar mosque right next to ground zero is not wise at all. This wi…

I noticed the same, and I must admit, i think it's a shame we didn't translate them. Which books are you referring to?

Fr., I know I asked you this many times before, what is the chance of the Eastern Orthodox Churches uniting with the Oriental. What exactly are they waiting for from us? OK.. we apologise for something we didnt do wrong. We are miaphysite - just …

I personally feel the idea is of the utmost importance - not for the benefit of the Churches, nor Church leaders being mentioned and honoured during the liturgy; but for the benefit of the Coptic Christians who, whether they may live in the Diaspora…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9608.msg118405#msg118405 date=1282211073] Godlovesme, I have no strong reason. Maybe because of the influence of the religious books I have read there is a European translation influence in them, e.g., the b…

This isn't really an accurate survey. Its a good idea, and I agree, they ought to be mentioned, but its not accurate. If everyone who responded YES (i.e. their names are mentioned in the liturgy) go to the same Church, and if everyone who responded…

Fr Peter, So, moving back to the original point: The CoC has marriage councellors who clearly stress that certain personality types work/don't work. The CoC does not allow for divorce. Therefore, why doesn't the CoC just allow marriages that it …
