Fr. Zakaraia is a hero and loved amongst many Copts. There is NOTHING wrong with speaking the truth. Wasnt it H.H. who mounted a campaign against Matthew the poor? Was it not St. John Chrysostom who destroyed the temple of artemis, rather leveled it…

Dear Ioannes,
Forgive me my brother. I think you may have misunderstood what I meant (I wasn't too clear). I was talking about the issue of how old the Earth is and not e…

Sorry Anba Bola, evolution is contrary to scripture, Orthodoxy, and logic. It is a destroyer of faith, when I see people mixing Orthodoxy and evil I get a bit upset, unfortunately Egyptians are just as inflexible as I am. This is why I said I am don…
Meena, calm down for a second. I did watch that debate many times before, these are opinions or views and while I respect Hugh Ross and his views, I dont agree with them at all. Are you ignoring Kent Hovind's point of view? I do not care for Hovind …

Hi ioannes
Please make sure you go to a legitimate tewahedo church .There are so many churches who claim to be ethiopian orthodox .But the truth is they are called "tehadeso " .…
Indeed, I love the Ethiopian church. They seem to be much more receptive to me and much more spiritual. They respect the Eucharist very much and dont approach it with their heads covered and breasts exposed, which I see alot of unfortunately. I have…
Their interpretation of an expanding universe is the big bang, thats NOT my opinion its theirs. It is clear that you are trying to reconcile erroneous "scientific" beliefs with your religious ones. Since you believe that the Hebrew (aramaic) support…

Many of these STD's are in a sense, a punishment for promiscuity. While some get it from means other than this, which is unfortunate, for once a Catholic is right. I am sure he is catching hell from the whore that is this world, and I hope he does n…
John that is referring to God, as in time is nothing to God. He gave us time, structured time, not an enigmatic time that could be thousands or millions of years. Especially if the plants were created before the sun. This is of course my opinion bas…

Hopefully thats a good thing
Its tough, I take alot of meds. Unfortunately the one that I use to stay awake and help me get motivated is too expensive and I do not have insurance for. I know what you mean though that it helps you pay attention and do things you normally cannot …
Science is science, not metaphysics. It has delved into an area that it does not belong. Just because the universe is expanding does not mean the big bang happened. Scripture states that God stretched out the heavens. Science is there to test and ob…
The end is now. All we can do is stay strong and pray, voicing our opinion on deaf ears will do no good. Take care of your salvation and see to it that you are not deceived.
Michael Heiser, who is a Greek, Hebrew, and many other languages, scholar has a much better take on the Genesis account. Keep in mind, nobody ever questioned the literal 7 day creation until Darwin who is an agent of satan, not of God. So you choose.

Thanks Gregory. I dont want it to seem as if I am cutting these people down, I love them all very much and they have all done alot for me. It has been as of recent that everyone seems distant from me as if they are pushing me away. I think one reaso…
Meena, I have actually watched that debate. What I asked for was your evidence of what you said of Neanderthals, as I have never heard that before, so why did you give me the Hovind, who is in jail and has a fake Phd, and Hugh Ross? I am confused, …

well, it sounds like the COC is bad in the UK, cuz here in southern california, our clergy are amazing, we even held a protest at the Embassy in LA for Nag Hammadi.

John your spot on, problem is the clergy is not open to suggestions because as I was told "the Bishops know more than I do." Therefore what other option have we? If this attitude exists then we will continue to see people leave, and very soon they w…
In general Orthodox people are lazy and have become complacent in that it is more of their culture than salvation. This is not of course for every Orthodox person. But evangelicals have a certain fire about them that drives them to spread the Gospel…

Kalsam, I have a book that is in the midst of being translated into Amharic that directly attacks these churches and their disgusting motives. I have seen first hand the things they do to the Orthodox church. Hopefully it shuts their mouths because …
I agree anba bola. There is no sense in responding. Many of them are not capable of understanding because their hearts are hardened and or they do not want to understand. So we should let our leaders respond accordingly, and let what is going to hap…
The big bang lol. Not only did matter just self exist, but the space it existed in had to come into existence of its own accord before matter did the same. Then when the big bang happened, where do all the elements come from? That is a big problem f…

Fr. Peter and Mabsoota are right. We need to know where the line is, what we can know and what we cannot. Even St. Andrew of Caesarea made this clear, that many of these things could not be known until the time drew closer. Working out the name shou…
