He really says that as servants, we should be able to read anything with discretion. Besides, that wasn't really the issue for me- I have read many Eastern works which might also have some contrary belief to our faith. I was really just curious.

Oh, and I thought that all Matta el Meskin's books were banned from Coptic bookstores. Can anyone verify that?
-
I've started to feel like you. In the very beginning of my true life with God, true and genuine tears were a normal part of my conversation with him. However, if they come it only means that my heart has been moved enough towards God where I am incl…

Father Peter, Should that chapter be read with much discretion or is it free from theological/dogmatic/spiritual errors? Also, where can I find an English translation?

I really don't understand what Sayedna's opinion was. There was no concrete fact to be derived from it. He objected to the deacon's action, but did not say whether the act is originally allowed or not.

Hmm well that's interesting... However the excess emotion certainly helps lots in prayer. I wonder...

I have one expression: WOW! Father Peter, those are great resources! Do you have any more like resources?

Am I the only one who finds QT's posts a little funny? Well anyways, if my father of confession allows it (which he obviously does), I'm fine. Oh, and I read one of the Gospels towards the end of the Kiahk nights (7 & 4). I really don't underst…

Tears... an interesting subject... I do not mean to exalt myself (God forbid, let all the glory be his), but if I don't cry in my prayer I always feel as if I haven't prayed fervently enough. That is to say, if I do not cry, I feel as if my spirit …

QT, I honestly agree with jydeacon. In the US, I have not seen such things. I am actually very close with my FOC and a number of other priests, and H.G. Bishop David himself. I have never seen such absurd things being imposed on others. Maybe the si…

Our Lord Jesus Christ is a descendant of King David from the tribe of Judah. He was born in the city of Bethlehem. However, during His time, Judah was called Palestine. Thus, He is a Palestinian Jew. Please, nobody say he "was" a this or that. Our …

I hope I won't be causing a revolution here but... Every year during the Pascha, the priest of my church (who is also my FOC), makes me read one of the Paschal readings. Yesterday I read one of the prophesies. When someone objected to this (in publ…

Marrying him who raped her??????? For those of you who don't know (is there anyone?) I am a female. I honestly think (without any offense to anyone) that suggesting that a women marry the man who raped her is an insane remark. Mina, I honestly thin…

It is very easy to talk when you are outside the problem. I am home, fine and safe, and have nothing to worry about. Why else shouldn't I say whatever I like? But when coming to answer this question, I put myself in the place of a the raped person. …

I believe the best way to get your questions answered is to read St. Athanasius' On the Incarnation of the Word. However, if you are looking for a quicker/briefer answer: Animal sacrifices were instituted to give us, the human beings, an idea that…

:)Welcome, Kelley... Would you mind me asking where you would happen to live? It is just to have an idea of exactly where you would be attending a service, and what kind of services for non- Egyptian people this church has.
-
Just a little background information adding to Father Peter's post... St. Luke is known to have been a physician, which is why you tend to find more detail in all of the stories/parables he explains. This is a perfect example of also seeing how all…

Complete and final judgement will occur only on Judgement Day. Based on God's complete knowledge of your life and your heart, you will be either sent to Paradise or Hades (God forbid). However, the universal judgement which all of us know about, whe…

You have committed the sin once your heart has strayed from the path of God. If you make further actions in pursuing such sinful thought, that simply means that you are continuing in such sin. For example, lets say I terribly hate some person for o…

In this specific person, our Lord is proving that He is God. When the young man calls him "good," our Lord responds by saying that no one is good except for God alone, thus proving that He is God.

Abouna Youssef Assad was killed????? Can anyone verify this statement for me?? I really love him and I love listening to his liturgies. Someone please verify this statement...

[quote author=GArgiriadis link=topic=7652.msg100439#msg100439 date=1235358955] Thanks, You're definitely right! Thanks for the clarification. This implies some very interesting things. Humans didn't eat meat for the first fifteen and a half ce…

They do not believe the son is a God....they just believe that he is Gods only son...and not god himself. Dearest Susy, In their "New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures," John 1:1 says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God…

Very simply, the word Jehovah has no actual meaning. When writing the Holy Scriptures, the Jews feared to even speak God's actual name, let alone write it. They also did this to remind the reader that it was the Holy One's name. So God's actual nam…

Well, I don't know about bishops, but I know that priests formally change their names in paper. For example, in his pasport, a priest would have the name given to him after his ordination not before. He does use the same family name though. I assum…
