  • yea some kids are too young to fast and need these foods to help them grow, some kids fast from certain things but still drink milk because they need it.
  • how old is your brother? if he is too young to start fasting the whole lent then an item fast alone is ok, then later on he can start from food. but if he is older like 5th 6th 7th 8th and up then he should be fasting from food, especially since we …
  • its like going to a friends house to watch a movie, you didn't pay for it.
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=6364.msg84030#msg84030 date=1205930158] Dear ilovesaintmark, Thank you for backing up my argument about presentations in the church. I am against it in general and not just in the Holy Week (I hope that you don't st…
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=6366.msg84077#msg84077 date=1205970383] JYdeacon, You are taking my words out of context.  If we recall the Gospel of the Sunday preceding the start of Lent, the three points are mentioned specifically.  Abst…
  • I am against anyone that is being baptized for the sake of marriage, that is dangerous to everyone in the faith, and no i don't agree with "if he is catholic it might be ok" it is better to be safe and stay coptic than be sorry and loose my eternity…
  • ehh always focus on what can get you to heaven, and the first thing is abstinence from sin, then from food. Fasting from food doesn't make us strong if you keep sinning, but fasting from sin makes you strong when fasting from food.
  • [quote author=coptic pharoah link=topic=6366.msg83970#msg83970 date=1205884036] His Servant, if we all focused on fasting from sins before the foods, then we would be starting to focus around a week before the end of the fast.. im not saying that w…
  • 1. if it's a substitution then it is almost like cheating, you are not really depriving yourself of satifaction 2. we shouldn't be focusing on fasting from food as much as we should be on fasting from sin. I just wanted to bring the second point u…
  • no the whole lent is what i heard, my church priests said that as well. but 33 years not 32. i believe it was a pope, his name began with a p i think, he made it so that the lent comes together with pascha as well as every year and that the pascha a…
  • it used to be every 33 years, just as Christ's age, but the church found that some people passed away before they can even celebrate Ressurection (because that was once every 33 years) that they made it every year so it can be celebrated by all.
  • well the L.A funeral that i think your talking about it the one of the Archdeacon, and i think that is a rank of clergy so yea...
  • no offense but this is like the 243234 post about this, i tried once too, that failed, but im definitely in favor of what you are attempting to do. Isaiah 53:5 But he was pierced for our transgressions,       he was crushed for our iniquities;    …
  • [quote author=jydeacon link=topic=6339.msg83692#msg83692 date=1205445318] You seem to be focusing very hard on this 10%, so then why don't you do it? you speak as if you are trying to prove something, Like we all said, worry about yourself, if you w…
  • I still don't think you understand what 10% is. If you are able to thats terrific, if you want to be like the poor women with the two mites thats fine, but a lot of people can't give 10% all the time. It's the spirit of the law, give all that you ca…
  • ehh it wasn't in the ten commandments and God knows where everyones hearts are.
  • [quote author=Hizz_chiilld link=topic=6339.msg83665#msg83665 date=1205390185] Focuss on your own life and pray for us. [/quote] best answer. Read Matthew 7:1. Then contemplate on it. Judge yourself. Do what you can for yourself. Don't judge others.…
  • i think u misunderstood me. in a case like this, where a baby dies before being baptised, nothing we say or do now will change the fate of the baby, what happened, happened. so we can say the baby should go to heaven but God can say no, or we can sa…
  • well since we are on communion hymns and this question was answered i have a request too. Does anyone have a recording of Blessed are those who have mercy... besides the one on this site by washington dc... it is beautiful though, but any other rec…
  • here is the cyril liturgy prayed by him http://www.saint-mary.net/hymnology/divine_liturgies/st_cyril/
  • this topic is weird, personally i do not worry about matter greater than me, ultimately nothing we say or do will change God's will.
  • so what is the tune for the psali? the sunday/ saturday tune? or weekday tune? also do we sing the lent psali then the annual one in the lent tune or just the lent one... this is for vespers praise on saturday night
  • sorry no thats verse of the day. i need like an actual bible.
