Yes, that is correct.

Both of the file names mention the Baramos Monastery...

[quote author=josephgabriel link=topic=6453.msg85332#msg85332 date=1207688767] [quote author=Severus link=topic=6453.msg85330#msg85330 date=1207688170] And, let us keep in mind that those who were responsible were Egyptians. I won't say more than th…

SilentOne is correct, albeit one small correction: They also add the names of General Bishops to the 'master list'. I do not think they add all the names of the monks, rather, they perhaps get something like 5 recommendations from each monastery an…

A priest or bishop still carries high levels of respect and dignity, and so we can not just blame them and give them a hard time for such things. To blame them, or to say that "they deserve quite a lashing", would be, in my honest opinion, very disr…

Excellent points by Amoussa and minagir. Just review your notes each day. It is great that you started studying this early, but you need to eliminate that stress. Do not be afraid, you will do just fine because you won't be cramming the whole night…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=6453.msg85315#msg85315 date=1207679016] ...I still say that if someone from the Coptic Church's side was negligent on any issue, they deserve quite a lashing... [/quote] Again, I bring up a point. What if it …

Indeed, welcome ;) You will find that posting on the forums here tends to get addicting, so make sure you have finished your homework before attempting to do so. :) You will also find much knowledge on here, I hope that this website is a source of…

As I said before, it is in your hands to resolve the problem for good. Offer to teach her good study habits and study together, and you will be a TRUE friend to her in that you gave her the keys to success.
-
Thank you, you also ;)
-
ilovesaintmark, good post. Do not hold that statement back; rather, express your feelings. We are all mature enough on this board to handle it ;)
-
As I understand, she is not Coptic, then? When she calls you selfish, you should respond by saying that you did not want to sin. In reality, it was she that was selfish, but we would not want to tell her that... Offer to help her study the next ti…

ilovesaintmark, your concern in remarkable, and I commend you for loving our Father Pope Shenouda so much. You truly set an example that many should follow. However, I must tell you that H.H. always has one or two accompanying bishops at the least, …

Yes, I shall echo Coptic Pharoah - if you could understand a whole Gospel, then you are better at Coptic then 95% of our Church's adherents ;)
-
The only way to produce a Coptic Old Testament today is to re-translate it from Greek. The original Coptic manuscripts, if I remember correctly from prior reading, are lost and are not likely to be found. I really respect this work. As a Church, we…

Time to talk to Abouna, I thought you were going to talk to him first?
-
Wonderful update man. Now, talk to Abouna and get the whole thing over with ;)

[quote author=gamalsal439 link=topic=6440.msg85080#msg85080 date=1207262348] thanx guys i might tell my parents, but i'll for sure tell abouna first [/quote] Excellent, that was the best descision you could have made :)
-
What is wrong with telling his parents? They will wonder what happened to his friend, etc. Might as well tell them and be done.
-
Yes, tell your parents. They need to know what went down. They can help you to keep away from the person. And #1 on the list to talk to is Abouna, please!
-
I completely understand. From a spiritual point of view, see above. I would also go have a meeting with Abouna, explain the situation, and see what he has to say about it. It may be hard, but you must move on! I can not believe that this is allowe…
-
Indeed, an excellent question. Just be up-front about it. Point out that it's not natural, not a good thing, and a sin after all. Conclude by saying that the relationship will not work out. From there, I would avoid all contact with the person.
-
Yes, 'it' is a he. Going against God's will does not change what he actually is. Is he even close to the church, by the way?
-
Christians ARE NOT the only people who suffer. EVERYONE is equally affected by the problem, as both Christians and Muslims hold generally the same positions as teachers, grocery store owners, and so on. Everyone is suffering except those that have …

I believe this can be done by connecting your device to your computer using ActiveSync, navigating to the \Windows\Fonts\ folder using Windows Explorer, then dimply dragging the fonts from where you downloaded them into that folder. Let me know if …

I would assume that since the red ones with the three crosses are worn in the Cathedral, then those would be the preferred kind...
-
Yes, excellent stories, and they really proved the point perfectly :)

My FoC, when he gives me absolution, blows on my head as a symbol of the sins being taken off of my account. How can absolution be given any other way? I know there are varying opinions from both clergy and laypeople regarding this subject, so I gu…
-
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't the practice of confession over the web, phone, etc, generally avoided? Part of confession is feeling ashamed for your sins, and you do not really get the 'full effect' if it is not in person.

Actually, many saints have been reported of being gifted with the power of bilocation.
