[quote author=mabsoota link=topic=8994.msg112210#msg112210 date=1269205303] catholics can't currently take communion with us, the bishops continue to meet to discuss different points of doctrine, but so far the orthodox church does not allow inter-c…

A bishop told me that if there is NO Coptic Church in the land you are living in, then at that time you are allowed to go to the Catholic Church and have communion. But if there is a church, it is forbidden. I know a priest that went to the RC (bef…

What I forgot to mention is that this site is the official site for the Egyptian Ministry of Tourism. They are so dumb!

Well, OK - thanks Mabsoota. Why am I asking this then? OK, let me tell you why I'm asking: I put this question in the Coptic Orthodox Section of the forum, NOT the Personal/Random section - for a good reason. Because I wanted to know the marria…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8983.msg112116#msg112116 date=1269026062] I would like to know if this is a real situation, in which case it should be raised by the people involved with their priest and not in public. Or if it is just a qu…

Mabsoota, So - if a woman is over 25 and falls in love with a man who is say, 45, that means she is emotionally unstable? I can understand women who may have not had a close relationship with their fathers and therefore may end up liking older me…

[quote author=jydeacon link=topic=8960.msg112028#msg112028 date=1268878625] [quote author=davidawad94 link=topic=8960.msg112014#msg112014 date=1268867815] Is the British Orthodox part of the oriental orthodox churches? [/quote] Yes they are a daugh…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8960.msg112007#msg112007 date=1268860236] We use the same lyrics for the Doxologies, but a different, simple tune. I hope to be able to start doing tasbeha this year, as the numbers grow in my community. I w…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8960.msg112004#msg112004 date=1268858063] Well you could just ask me. We don't have any Coptic or Arabic in the services. We don't use the same tunes either. I think all Orthodox Churches sing the Trisagi…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8951.msg111945#msg111945 date=1268686357] Sorry, I obviously misunderstood your question. If you study all of the verses in the Gospels in which our Lord speaks of bread. One is, John 6:47-58 Verily, ver…

Yes, that's excellent. That's what I wanted, but could you give now from the OT? Where was the significance of the Eucharist in the OT? Surely, there was some symbolism of it in the OT FOR the remission of sins?? I can think of the manna being on…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8951.msg111942#msg111942 date=1268672010] It has nothing to dio with Lent. You are asking why did God do it this way and not some other way. That is a non-question. It is not one we can ask or answer since i…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8916.msg111933#msg111933 date=1268654018] There is a danger of presenting ourselves rather than Christ when we preach. St Paul did not speak like one of the big Protestant TV evangelists, and some despised h…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8951.msg111939#msg111939 date=1268666429] It is a non-question really. (I don't mean that dismissively) This is what God has ordained for our salvation. The whole of the history of the universe includes th…

Can someone explain this: why did Christ offer His Body and Blood for the remission of sins? Why was that a condition for the remission of sins? What would have happened if Christ had not had the last supper? Can you use jewish traditions in your …

so what happens if we did not have the holy communion? How bad is that for our spiritual lives? Also, when Christ offered Himself to His Apostles, what did that mean to them? As jews, who always observed the passover, what was the significance to t…

I was talking more along the lines of how if one talks, they are preaching themselves more than God. There is a definate problem of servants who seem to think that if the youth love them personally, they will love God. So actually what happens is th…

Well, this is a huge shame to see us in this situation. Many times, i've attended the mass, and the there was some one wearing a baseball cap during the mass. Its no child or anything. This statement about the shamlas is very interesting - is th…
