You are out in the middle of nowhere Zoxsasi. I think of the desert fathers and what did they do about Holy communion? How often did they take it? Your faith may have to be similar to theirs as it was their chose to be where they were.

Hi Saintmina, I asked an abouna and he gave me this e-mail address of the Diocese Secretariat in Melbourne- [email protected]. God bless.

I have let people know so that they can respect what I was doing. They would offer food on special occations and I could not eat it. Nothing to do with pride.

God bless you minatasgeel. Love it when things are explained in the way of the churches understanding.

I don't know how to do this, but I think in Melbourne the deacons use i-pads. I know we are supposed to know the liturgy of by heart, but we are talking three languages here which change from one to another at various stages. I will ask abouna …

Not sure, where are you? We have about five copies at church.

If you read the chapter before: Joshua 5:15 Then the Commander of the Lords army said to Joshua,"Take your sandal of your foot, for the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did so. This was on the plains of Jericho. So Joshua who was …

I have asked a replacement abouna as our regular abouna that gone away for a week. I will ask Abouna Sourial as his daughter in law is Bishop Sourial' Secretary. I hope you are in not much of a hurry Christrules. I pray for help in this. I…

Maybe the disagreement is in it being a punishment? I think the second sentence might explain it more as in it's a marriage and that she turns to her husband in time of pain, and in this case the worst pain for her.

The word fruit in latin is malum and the word apple in latin is also malum.

Feminism does not worry me as a whole because I know there is iniquity in the world and it is only to get worse. I believe our church has no need for too much consternation. In regards to Father Lawrence's letter' labelling the debate my thought…

One of the main problems I that comes to mind even in my own marriage, is that sometimes, there is a lack of intimacy. When this happens, my thoughts go to what I have said above and that it is a similar situation where we are seperated from God…

Men in marriage; We are to suffer like Christ and also replace our ladies parents as it says in the wedding ceremony.

[ Admin: we will not be talking about Father Laurence's letter here. In another thread, maybe! ]

I think Marina knows that it is IP own opinion Remnkemi. I'm sorry irishpilgrim for the grief you have suffered and continue to suffer. If we connect our suffering to blame, even though we find a truth and it shows itself now and then, we…

Was going to ask last Sunday but forgot. Sorry. Will try to remember. I will write it down.

Thanks Mina. Very much appreciated. I can blunder sometimes. Thanks for your forgiveness. God bless.

Sorry Altair9. I was wrong about the original sin. Forgive me and I will leave it to those better informed as those who have been in the coptic church all their lives. Your a good man though, because you don't like ignorant. God bless.
-
Thanks for your reply Altair9. It's been good to listen to what you have said. We have the Holy Spirit been in the direction from generation to generation as is in Genesis 17:7. The church is a bride, so also going in a direction, so i…

The advice I have been given is to know my limits. I guess it might apply to both of us. God bless you Mike take care and hope you will be all right.

[quote author=mikeforjesus link=topic=14272.msg163490#msg163490 date=1361597310] Well I think you should not disrespect your boss or your position I think this is a time you can only pray you have to weigh if you really need this job or you can work…

I wasn't interpreting the bible just with my mind, but it is sincerely heart felt and experianced in my life. I won't be defending myself as I have nothing to protect in others claims of what is in my mind, but pray for respect. If you see heresy …

I think binC meant me mike. It's ok. I do sound like a protestant, but it's mainly because I have very little time for anything and so can't referance the church fathers, or have I read a book in five years. What i can do is use what I do know w…

I was trying to draw links. Because if we take the veiw that the soul is feminine. Then I also look at how women are treated in Islam and from there, there is a lot of questions. So it would be hard to be specific. The only comparision between us…

No it was that it was part of my life that I was someone who listened to others and this was a humble approach. When I listened to a Pope Tawadros 2nds sermon about loving our neighbour, he mentioned that praying was a virtue but it was one of ma…

I'll ask for you. God bless.

Praying is a virtue but God is love and that Jesus Christ is the word so love and the bible come first.
