The Third one is Lucy and I think most of us know that her bone structure is more like a human and her cranial structure is more like an ape and again we found her fossil in between two Geological strata, where we cannot see an upright walking ape …

[quote author=CopticStrength link=topic=9858.msg120773#msg120773 date=1287089748] And then my friend started talking about how a priest came to our church that was from Egypt, and was visiting this boy's house and at the same time he was at Egypt d…

Here is what Pope Shenouda says: The day of creation is a period of time, not known how long, which could haven been a second or thousands or millions of years. This period was determined by the saying "so the evening and the morning were..." The ev…

geomike, Please don't stoop down to that level. This man chose to do something wrong, but we must turn the other cheek, and not return evil for evil. Let us be exemplary of Christianity, and show him Christ's love instead. I don't agree with a word…

Hey Ioannes, Once again please, forgive me. I only wish to undrstand this subject. I keep thinking about this whole Protestants being Christian topic, and only get more confused. I think that in this situation, as I am unsure it is best to stay sil…

I think it is important that this doesn't become out of anger, but rather out of love as Ioannes said. Let me tell you a story summarized from a book about Fr. Mikhail Ibrahim (most is directly copied): One time during liturgy Fr. Mikhail bro…

We don't know who or when they'll come. Zoxasi, where did you read this. I hope it wasn't an orthodox source. Don't read or listen to anything non-orthodox, about the end, as many are very inaccurate (there about 1000 theories about who the antichr…

Forgive me Ioannes for my ignorance, I don't mean that anyone is a christian, but rather that there are some protestants unaware of the problems in protestantism, but that live their lives entirely for Christ and love him with all they have. I've h…

Ioannes look at this verse: "Open the gates, That the righteous nation which keeps the truth may enter in." Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't this about the Orthodox Church? But it also says: "O Most Upright, You weigh the path of the just." …

Through prayer, The most effective way to do anything is through prayer, and doing your part. "Unless the LORD builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the LORD guards the city, The watchman stays awa…

Hello all my brothers in Christ, I am pleased to announce that by God's grace, we've uploaded PDF files for almost all books by Pope Shenouda, and Fr. Tadros Malaty. God willing we'll have all the PDF files up very soon. Please continue in your pra…

Today before reading my daily quiet time, I rembered this discussion and I asked God to reveal the truth. This was the passage: In that day this song will be sung in the land of Judah: "We have a strong city; God will appoint salvation for walls a…

I thank you very much for this conversation Ioannes, as it greatly helps me. While the Latins agree with us on many points there is no question that having any sort of service with them is unacceptable because we are not united and quite frankly th…

Sorry to post twice in a row, but I have found that through these discussions I've only became more confused. Because of this I ask that everyone pray that God can reveal the truth on the matter, so that we (me especially) don't end up speaking inco…

The problem with the early church fathers and protestantism is that they existed long before protestantism took shape, which should say something to the sober mind. I was wondering if there was any writings concerning those who went astray of their …

My Dear Brother Ioannes, I ask once again that you don't get angry at me because of my feeble mind. I do understand though that I make a big overgeneralization. I'm by this talking mostly about the mainstream Protestants shuch as the Baptists and L…

Ioannes, I hope that you don't take my responses as me trying to argue against you. I'm rather discussing with you, and hope to learn from this. [quote]I don't mean to validate Protestantism as Christian, but rather Protestants as Christian. I do…

This is world history to 1500, because I took WHAP last year (pretty mixed up schedule I guess). Thank you very much for your advice especially because it helps me not look argumentive, and pray that I may be able to speak up. We still haven't got…

I don't mean to validate Protestantism as Christian, but rather Protestants as Christian. I don't know if you can say that the beliefs of Protestantism are Christian, but I know you can say that there are Protestant's who are Christian. There are ma…

Hey Ioannes, I dont believe we can consider someone as not having the full faith or truth, it doesnt make sense to have a half truth, because then it would not be true. But if you go by that, then I'm pretty sure that I'm not a Christian, because t…

More great news. Through your prayers we have put up mobi, pdf, and epub files next to a small few of the ebooks on the site. God willing we'll eventually have them all. The site also now has an ereaders tab which goes through how to put the books o…

Great news everyone. We uploaded some writings of St. Gregory the Wonder Worker; St. Dionysius, Pope of Alexandria; St. Theophilus, Pope of Alexandria; St. Peter I, Pope of Alexandria, and God willing we'll have more coming. Don't forget to pray tha…

It's not a problem. Thank you for the story of Fr. Armanios and for the clarification. I really love reading of the saints especially the recent ones, so when I saw your post about Fr. Armanios I was overjoyed.

Thank you so much for the explanation, John_S2000. But I have one question, who is St. Abraham El-Soriany.

I'd like to mention that the book I posted and the one Father Peter posted are different. The one I posted is by Fr. Tadros Malaty while the one Fr. Peter posted was by a publishing company and includes writings from the Church Fathers. It is page 1…

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll see what I can do about it. I'll have to ask the person in charge of the website, and God willing with his agreement we can try to do it. Also I was talking about St. Abraham El Soriany who's tree is mentioned in fl…

Who is St. Abraham El Soriany? Is he the same as St. Ibrahim the Simple.

This is from Pope Shenoudas book: So Many Years with People's Problems 4: Question Is it allowed for a woman while menstruating to receive Communion, and if not, why not? Because after all, this is something natural which she can't help. And if she…
