what if you take communion then dont drink water or eat and go to the liturgy at night like during lent for example and its less than 9 hours can you take communion again?
no someone needs to be a saint then 50 years after their departure they can be in the commemoration anba abraam is right. but pope kyrillos can almost be added in the commemoration soon tho. not yet

I think what you guys are condemning is the Philosophical Belief in Existentialism, which the Church definitely condemns, but the Church remains quite silent around Scientific i…
i was reading a former post, it was pretty long. it said evolution niether says there is no God or there is a God. i disagree. if it states that humans came from a different source other than God. then it is already false. after reading the first l…

i'm almost 100% sure you can't get be baptised as a coptic because you're divorced. And like His Servant said, you shouldn't convert just because you want to get married. …
the reason we dont have them is because protastents publish all the bibles they are not hard to get ur hands on u can get them in a Jerusalem Bible or the new Orthodox Study Bible

My question is whether I will be allowed to convert to being Coptic after I have already been divorced. I am planning to conver from prodestant to Coptic to get remarried to…
that people are learning from these forums... but as krazylion said, i hope we are learning the things that are right and not the things that we think are right...
ehhh. Giving your back is one thing, anouncments are another. listen if we were not supposed to do that then there would be bishops in trouble along with probably most of the churches in NJ because i know for a fact that thats how it is done. The Bo…
they would never excommunicate someone for something like that... it isnt a heresy if they are excommunicating for disrespecting the body and blood then we are all likely to be non christians at one point
hold on i think were mixed up i think im talking about a sermon and your talking about announcments. that i understand. but during the sermon can't abouna close the curtain so that everyone sits down?

Another thing is that if the priest didn't pray the liturgy then he probably shouldn't be distributing the body or blood.

he can give out the blood. there is not…
idk what ur talking about... i see that done in churches all the time. sometimes the liturgy can't even really end because someone in the hospital has to take communion.
if you think about it, they fasted because they sinned and needed forgivness.Christ dies to forgive us. but we don't deserve His forgivness. we also need an example of a people who fasted so that they can gain forgivness and not perish. we look at t…
We fast because the people of Ninevah fasted three days for God's forgiveness. We put this fast 2 weeks before the great lent to prepare us for the great lent as well as learn from the ninevites to ask for God's forgiveness in the Great and Holy fas…
copticchurch.net was wrong this time. i checked. there is no time zone thing. it goes by coptic date and it would be really hard to mes it up by time zone since st. severus isnt today and wasn't saturday. The Monastery is right.
i dont think so. im not entirely sure though the thing is that it has to be 2 weeks before lent and lent has to be 55 days before the lunar equniox i think so jonahs is based on lent not the feast correct me if im wrong
again knowing other sects of christianity is great BUT it takes a lot more to turn a Buddhist into a christian, i dont think u should be dissuade anyone from anything, sure talk to them and have a nice conversation and a small argument type thing no…
if you wanna compare different types of christianity then that makes sense or even judiasim to understand some of the traditions in the Bible. But things like, islam,buddism, hinduism, its wouldnt make much sense because islam has twisted everything…
