I've heard that 90 % of all the coptic monks are vegetarians?

This is true, this is because they want to make their will stronger than there body, so that when…

By the way you talk and the filth you have spewing into your posts says to me that you would leave…
Anubis, you are saying the most ridiculous things I have ever heard. You really need to be educated about the Coptic Church, you are being very ignorant. If i was a girl in the coptic church and you were going to ask to marry me I would tell you no …
Same problem here, I am glad you are asking this question sodr. I would also really like to know how to deal with this. This problem has caused me to stop praying some of the hours of the agpeya because of these akward situations.
Well, Anubis, first of all, leaving the Coptic Church because you couldn't find a wife is just ridiculous. You are so lucky to find the coptic church because it is the ONLY church that hasn't changed its rites or ways since the apostles taught us. S…

I understand where you're coming from, but as a human, I feel the need to know my religion better. Sorry for any blasphemy or anything.
Regardless, as said in the point …
what do you mean the most accurate? Thanksgiving prayer is the Thanksgiving prayer. What makes you think that there is an inaccurate version? It is in any standard agpeya you will find the Thanksgiving prayer. God bless.
Well, no offense, but this thread is not going to lead to anything good. We can't just sit around and make up hypothetical situations and try to think like God the person who made us. WE AREN'T GOD. If we could have the same wisdom that God has and …

The question is, is it ok in the Church to hav a a professional career in sports? A lot of Churches hav basketball and soccer leagues 4 the kids and college. Also, wat…

Christiangirl, you should make a separate thread as this is for liftmyheart. If you look in the list of threads …
Well, I never had these visitations from Sunday School teachers, but my Hymns teacher came one day during the Jonah fast and gave me a lesson about Jonah. It was pretty cool. I think teaching the kds a personal lesson would be beneficial for them in…
Biggeeeee, don't do it man. You are better than that. The devil is tricking you into thinking that killing yourself and making yourself cease to exist will help ease the pain. The true fact is that you for sure will end your pain on earth, but you w…
Father, please keep Mark safe, and help him to get better if it is Your Will, and please be with the family of Mark and comfort them in this time of distress, and let everything that happens be according to Your will, because we know that all Your w…
Remnkemi, I AM NOT PUTTING WORDS IN YOUR MOUTH. I DIDN'T EVEN QUOTE YOU IN ANY WAY. Instead of getting upset with me and replying rudely you should reconsider your posts.
This is exactly why i don't like talking about hypothetical situations, eve…
Remnkemi, please, don't try to make up situations in which you would break a fast. You are giving people who are still learning about orthodoxy and reading this thread as we speak think it is okay to not fast if you have a good reason. It is never a…

because it's like a book store not a library, plus the money is going to the church funds not to the pocket of the priest.
I do not accept the last part of this phrase " th…
In the southern California diocese of Los Angeles , Anba Serapion has said that churches in the diocese can't sell food, because there are people who can't afford to eat. The selling of books is ok though, because it's like a book store not a librar…
This is no doubt wrong, and you should notify your priest about this. Why would the church be tempting its own people to do wrong when it is the church that leads us in the right direction. This is a problem not only because the fetari foods but the…
Well, if i am understanding you correctly, you are basically asking if it is okay to correct somebody during a hymn if they did it wrong. This is obviously a big no-no. If you have a problem with the way the hymn was said or somebody made a mistake …
