  • Thank you all very much.
  • [quote author=Gabriella link=topic=12840.msg151346#msg151346 date=1328107849] I was just looking at the collection of St. Augustine's books...seems like a great deal!! How good is the format? Some kindle books just irk me... [/quote] Always, ALWAYS…
  • Often times I watch certain shows, generally movies like Religilous or The Root of all Evil. They are not good for us to watch, however, I like to refute their claims, therefore I watch them. But I recommend that if these kind of things stumble you,…
  • Here it is. If we allow the youth to go to these concerts, to sing these songs in church, what will happen is that the PROTESTant liberal mindset will most definetly have an effect on at least some of them. Before you know it we will have Copts beli…
  • May God have mercy on their souls. The martyrs of our church will never be forgotten and may God be glorified in all His saints!
  • The world needs Orthodoxy
  • I would like once again to reiterate, we have a growing FB group Coptic Orthodox Apologists. We now have many Orthodox AND protestants. We use this for healthy discussion/debate. I have posted many resources that will help strengthen your faith. Ple…

  • I am also a HUGE fan of Abouna Athanasius Iskander of Kitchner, Ontario. I have conversed with him via email before to, genius of a man. He has tons of sermons posted online. I have had a few people ask me to do some youtube videos, but since I ha…
  • [quote author=✞TheGodChrist✞ link=topic=12840.msg151077#msg151077 date=1327522696] Links please... ;D [/quote] To what? Amazon.com? Just search the kindle books section and type in whatever saint you want.
  • [quote author=Timothym link=topic=12797.msg151068#msg151068 date=1327518323] Dear Fr Peter, I agree with those who said that a message about 10-20 minutes maximum is the best option. These days, people are busier than ever and the attention span is …
  • [quote author=Timothym link=topic=12840.msg151073#msg151073 date=1327519572] hmm, I'm debating between a kindle and a kobo. I know both are at competitive prices but I also want one with colour. What can I say, I'm a colourful guy  ;D [/quote] You …
  • Reading long posts and listening to a long sermon are quite different tho. You could have a 20-30 minute sermon and I think most people would listen to it. We can put these on our iPods and listen to them as we do things or are in the care or whatev…
  • [quote author=user157 link=topic=12838.msg151070#msg151070 date=1327518528] But Jesus loved us and wants everyone in heaven which is why He died that does not mean everyone must go to heaven for we must return to Him with our free will but why would…
  • If someone does not look both ways before crossing the street, it is their fault for not looking, not anyone elses.
  • I prefer classical music. I used to listen to Pink Floyd, but when I realized that they are "spiritual" and often times nihilistic, I stopped listening to them. I agree with Fr. Peter. My previous post was aimed at spiritual music alone.
  • If you go to a Coptic Church and are not satisfied with the hymns there, there is something wrong with you. There is nothing that I need outside of what my church offers. There certainly is nothing that I need from a rebellious religion that despise…
  • It is a very difficult thing to speak the truth in love. I found that speaking on this issue, many were polarized to it. Some agreed with me while others did not. A lot of people looked at me as a rebellious Korah or Luther. Because the bishops appr…
  • We definetly need to be working with the clergy, rather than against them. And again I have created a FB group that deals with apologetics and one of our main goals is to address this issue of protestantism in the church. But yes we need Fr. Peter o…
  • Celebrate your baptism day. At least that is what I choose to do.
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12797.msg150849#msg150849 date=1327090984] It is possible to resist the illness. In the Orthodox London mission there will be no Protestantism. London doesn't need more Protestantism, it needs the Orthodox Fait…
  • Much of the pirated material does not effect the actual person who created whatever it is that is being pirated. For instance the music industry giants make a big deal about the artist being ripped off when in reality it is not the artist that suffe…
  • Everyone please join Coptic Orthodox Apologists on FB
  • [quote author=Timothym link=topic=12797.msg150769#msg150769 date=1326937568] [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12797.msg150386#msg150386 date=1326478632] Protestantism is full of heresies that our Coptic youths must be aware of so they won't fall in…

  • User157, I am kind of lost here, what exactly is your point?

  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12817.msg150591#msg150591 date=1326814449] I think John Calvin took the rebellion to a much higher level than Martin Luther. Read any of Calvin's commentaries. Every other sentence is a condemnation of the "papists"…
