Anba Bola, I think you are right. My dearest brother and one of the main deacons told me the same thing. Many of the people are not really Christian or as he said are really converted, they may be baptized but not truly converted. They complain cons…

I just talked to one of the main Deacons at our church, he is also aware of what I am going through. He comforts me quite a bit. He told me to get a spiritual father. I think, after talking with him, that the culture barrier is what makes things so …

[quote author=geomike link=topic=10216.msg124918#msg124918 date=1292748942] Ioannes, I am sorry you feel this way, but just because the people in your church do this, doesn't mean the Coptic Orthodox church does this. Stay strong and just remember t…

I have stopped caring to be honest. I still believe God, I doubt I could ever reject Him. But what I see is fake and it sickens me. I made it very clear that I was having a crisis, to my FOC and some Deacons I look up to, and nobody did anything. I …

[quote author=cop link=topic=10015.msg122436#msg122436 date=1290201040] where exactly did you come up with this statement? did a thorough google search tickle your fancy and give you reason to make an utterly false statement? There are medical benef…

My wife and I were apart more than we were together. Actually for about 2 years or so and I am probably the most impatient person in all the world. Let things happen as they happen.

I had alot of friends that smoked weed, in fact growing up all of my close friends smoked weed and drank, and I didnt. I did try it and was not a fan. There really is no argument even if you present them with solid scientific evidence, for which the…

Reminds me of Alister McGrath, both in sound and in content.

Zoxasi thank you for bringing this news, otherwise I would have never known of it.

Thanks ILSM, I did make many corrections to the second edition, such as page numbering, which I did somehow overlook on the first. I did not however add a table of contents, I simply dont like them, lol. I did consider adding som…

Yea, the video is so professional. There is alot of amazing footage that I never thought I would see. A guy that goes to our church is related to Samia.

[quote author=John_S2000 link=topic=9949.msg121689#msg121689 date=1288726279] Congratulations may God bless your work. GBU [/quote] thanks. I have sold more books than albums when I was a musician.

God is with us, who can be against us? We will not be overcome, if we must die, then we must welcome it. Martyrdom is a blessing from God. Be thankful for Islam, it has kept this church strong.

I am officially separating myself from the COC because of the fact it refuses to use a language that is universal so that converts can understand. I should not have to complain as much as I have. I just want converts and people who are interested to…

Christ's Servant, Thank you for the suggestion, while I like the idea C.S. Lewis puts forth I was not much of a fan of that book. I do however like a similar book written long before that called "Paradise Lost" by John Milton.…

That was a beautiful story, well both, but in particular the oil one and the isolation. I am not sure that is what God has in mind for me as I do not see myself as being that special to merit such a reward. But it atleast made me think. They are try…

Thank you all for your support, it has been very uplifting. I am sure this is just another test. I have noticed when I study the Gospel of the Apocalypse, write on it, etc. Things become very difficult, so maybe I am doing something right to be atta…

Thanks! Our Bishop is H.H. Pope Shenouda, because we have no diocese or whatever. I find some bishops despise the use of these hymns, and the more Ecumenist bishops see no harm whatsoever. I am not an Ecumenist.

I honestly thought that when I became Orthodoxy all suffering and struggle would end for me and that I would be protected or shielded by God from the devil. The first week or so seemed to prove me right, then it all came crashing down. I understand…

Thank you John. I want you and everyone to know that I cannot by any means reject God or deny His existence. I should have made my post a bit more clear. It is more of the church. And your right maybe it just seems that nobody cares. I apologize for…

The end is now, this is why nobody cares about anything but themselves. We are on a course of an economic and social cataclysm the likes of which have never been seen, its pretty easy to see, yet everyone still busy's themselves with distractions. G…

America is the first liberal state. It claims you are free to believe and say what you wish. But if you say anything that is contrary to the status quo, then you are demonized. In America you believe as you wish, even if it is untrue. This is a very…

I dont think he is excommunicated, I actually do not know for sure. But he was sent into exile by the Pope, that I do know. In his book though he does mention how "certain people" tried to silence him.
