REAL HILARIOUS story. Anba Aghathon bishop of Brazil related to us the following story: As soon as he began his service in Brazil, there was only one egyptian deacon who knew all the hymns, rites...etc. So once during the morning vesper, a Brazili…

IN relation to non-coptic books, I check if the author in the book constantly backs up his argument(s) using the bible, lives of Saint(s), and sayings of the fathers. If the author backs up his statement/argument using any of these sources, then i a…

Here is H.G BIshop Youssef's reply 'God's benevolence and incomprehensible humility is clearly demonstrated in the passages mentioned from Psalm 3; Psalm 10; Job 7; Job 40; & Jeremiah 12. God's relationship with man has always been one of inte…

This topic really is "mind- boggling". I just have a small misunderstanding. [quote author=LifeInDeath link=topic=9987.msg122886#msg122886 date=1290945277] The reason for it was they they wanted to show like you mentioned that the whole of the Holy…

Be courageous in God, and do not get desperate… Do not get desperate however powerful the wars of the devil are. Do not get desperate no matter how many times you fall and forget the commandments and fail in your practices. ...Say to yourself, “...E…

Forgive me but the exact verse is: "Do not rejoice over me, my enemy; when i fall, i will arise; when i sit in darkness, the LORD will be a light to me. I will bear the indignation of the LORD, Because i have sinned against Him, until He pleads my …

correction: After the old monk told his disciple, you can't fill the basket with water without it pouring out
-
i remember a story (of the top of my head) a priest once told about an old monk and his disciple. A disciple once went to his mentor (an old monk), and told him that he does not understand anything he reads in the bible. So the old monk told him, g…

Forgive me for asking too many questions... I was just think about the number 41, mabsoota said that "the number 41 is from the 39 times Jesus was hit with whips before His crucifixion, 1 for the crown of thorns, and 1 for the spear in His side." (w…

I most certainly have gained alot. I was surprised to find that answers were closer that i expected, again the verse that says "ask and you shall receive" has been fulfilled. Just for future reference, how do you come across references that quickly.…

Thank you Zoxsasi, i looked at the resources you offered. Some good and convincing answer: Many of us will think we're 'good people,' and of course we are; most of the time. But what about when push comes to shove on moral issues when we have our o…

I have also heard once that when we are doing prostrations we must do it with a tight and closed fist, with our thumb over our index finger- to form a cross. We should never do it with our hands open (i.e fingers pointing away from the palm), as whe…

Thank you very much Pi Onkh and Truthsetsfree, that gave me a real insight. I must confess i used to just do matanias, as H.G Abba Mettaos said "as if it is a duty [i] wanted to get out of the way". God Bless

Thank you very much Father Peter PFM

I agree with Father Peter. I think the difference between God and his Angels is that, while they are both sinless, God is PERFECT while angels aren't. Meaning that angels have the freedom/choice of sinning or not, however as Father Peter said,they d…
