Hello ntbrandner I just looked it up on the Internet and it says there is a Coptic church at this address: 28445 Port side Avenue, Boise, Idaho 83706. Hope you aren't too far away. God bless you in your search.

My worry is that those denominations whom you have mentioned effect the youth of the church to something that is less than the fullness of our faith. So instead, I would have it that to strenghten our own youth in the faith by knowing they are on th…

We don't know God's mind but that as the head of the church, which is the body, that keep His commandments to love one another. Pray for peace and love that we all seek unity in the Glory of God.

You seem to loving of God and you knoiw He is righteouus, however, we are less and are weak and need to feel secure, even within our own culture. It's because we know our culture so well and of it's connections. It would be hard, or harder, for some…

People who believe have a unity of faith and it would be very easy to criticise as an outsider when we weren't there. I know someone who was there and saw it, so I have faith because I share it on his honesty and knowing him ( past tense as he has …

No Voltaire. I'm sorry I didn't make myself clrarer. It is that Jesus is the head so is the leader so in our following we are ambassadors for Him and in Him. I wasn't thinking about sexual orientation but the remission of sin in which even heterosex…

The church has I think by and large, stayed out of politics ( argument ) to keep humble.

We ( the church ) are called by Christ and the church comes when it is called and yes it is a hospital where sin is the sickness. What that means is we are all called to be healed and to heal by means of repentance. It is the sacrament of repentance…

Ekhestos anesti Welcome our brother in Christ Jesus. May the Holy Spirit give you inspiration in the gospel of Christ Jesus. Much love and glad you are with us.

I totalally agree with you Mina. Even on evolution, but for the point it the other post. When I was young and learned about evolution; how the fish came onto land and repeatedly changed it's form to adapt to the enviroment, the question came to my …

Could be my english Mina. But isn't the mode His energy? Luke 8:43-46 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicans and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and touched the border …

I understand where you are coming from Mina because of your science background, but when we talk of divinity, we are talking about energy. We don't know God's essence, but we do know God by His energy ( expressed by His divinity ).

Evolution as the concept of Darwin came out of his protestant background. Which means it was man centred as opposed to the orthodox view, I believe, is God cented. When we talk about the creation of Adam, we are talking about God's nature creating a…

I went into a church in Melbourne Australia and everything had coptic artistry in it, even the pews. So beautiful that I wish more churches were like that. I didn't see any more. But the fine detail was stunning.

They probably should be debating their moral standpoint with Jews. Because the Jews focas on morality much more because they follow the law given to Moses, whereas, ChristIan see the fulfillment of the law in Christ Jesus, which gives us a spiritua…

I sit and listen when abouna gives the sermon. Also when in prostration, I cross my thumbs over my forefingers to make the sign of the cross.

Your question directs us to a choice. There was for me, but that it was with the Roman Catholic church and the Coptic church. My story starts as far as church is concerned; that when I went to the Catholic church to do bible study, after being invi…

Appreciation gives value to things and is why maybe you stuggle with works mike and are forgiving in ( faith only) with protestants.

I think mikeforjesus spotted and knew what copticatheart is going through. That there is something lacking, and I think copticatheart correctly identified the problem when he/she said there was a lack of appreciation both in getting and therefore re…

Hi copticatheart and mikeforjesus, Copticatheart touched the source of the problem with depression, and that is apprecation. Apprecation comes from when we praise something; we say thats great, but depression because of lack of praise does not feel…
-
Not to judge them Mike. Judgement has consequences; if your judgement is righteous then with Jesus it would show love and goodness in it's correction, but if it about condemning without opportunity for change, then no. I wouldn't go any further with…

Hi copticatheart, First of all, I would try and turn the table around to your mum. A Catholic priest once gave me advice and that was to hug my mum and my dad and it turned out to be the greatest advice as I had never done that before. I appreciat…

I have noticed that I made a typo: I meant that they do not have the fullness of Christ or the Trinity having faith only and other omportant matters. Hope you understood that anyway Mike. I think of that part of the confession when I chant it becaus…
