Thank you Minasoliman for your opinion. Sorry for the late reply.
I want to add that I found the following article: http://araborthodoxy.blogspot.ru/2009/11/word-allah.html about this issue. Till now I don't have any solid proof that Arab Christians…
Thank you very much Cyril for your help!
Sorry for delay with answer.
I found the answer to my question in this book. The book confirms the information on Wikipedia. The Bible was translated in 8th cen in response for writing the Koran.
By the way …
Hello everybody!
Can anybody explain me what is Twelve Chapters of St. Cyrill of Alexandria? I tried to find this book on the internet but I didn't find. I saw the list of books which St. Cyrill wrote but I didn't find such a name. Can anybody expla…

It's like saying two people can't be Orthodox if they don't have the same birthday. A feast date calculation is not a matter of faith. Dates don't define Orthodoxy.

Sorry, sorry, sorry!
In my Coptic Synaxarium there are exact days of the Crucifixion of the Lord and Resurrection and Palm Sunday. Why do you say we don´t know the dates? Concerning Christmas. One Coptic priest told me that it was on December 20. An…
Thank you all for helping me.
Yes, I really found that the Armenian Church lives according to Gregorian calendar.
BUT they celebrate Christmas and Epiphany on January 6, Circumcision on January 13, Candlemas on February 14, Annunciation April 7.
So…
Sorry for disturbing again.
I know that the Copts use the Coptic calendar.
BUT the major Orthodox Feasts coincide with the same Feasts in the Russian Orthodox Church and in the Greek Orthodox Church, however the Russians and Greeks use Julian calend…
Dear brothers and sisters,
If anyone of your is able, I kindly request you to remember in your prayers servant of God Natalia.
She survived chemotherapy against cancer. As a result her kidneys do not function well. She has only a 2 weeks period for…
Thank you for your clarification Κηφᾶς!
I wanted to read about Pope Archelaus in Wikipedia. So I think soon I will read. May be there is some clarification.
Yes, you´ve got my point Κηφᾶς. If there is a remark in the Synaxarium that he stayed no lon…
Thank you for clarifying imikhail.
I just want to tell you that in my Synaxarium the biography about Pope Archelaus is very poor. And it was not mentioned that Arius confessed.
Now you have calmed my soul. :)
You know, Mabsoota, I'm planning to go to the Armenian Church very soon :)
But about Armenian Church that exists in Russia I have some doubts. You know, even in Wikipedia it is written that they had connections with Soviet government. But, anyway I …
I live in Russia. Originally Russia was the Orthodox country. But after the Revolution of 1917 and persecution of Church and Christians and Perestroyka at the beginning of 1990s the church renovated. It became absolutely a new kind of organization, …
Yes, Mabsoota, you wrote the right things :)
Of course, it's very good when you have a parish, and this parish has youth. It's an easy way to find among the majority of young ppl the one you like to get married. You know, when you can meet with a pe…
No, it's not because of the society. I'm an idealist. I think that it is a man, who has to offer his hand and a heart to a girl. But as you all know sometimes ppl can have many candidatures to marry. And e.g. if a guy is thinking should he marry thi…
Yeah, Lightening you're absolutely right - by our will we can go to hell. So if you find someone that you love, you have to pray to God that He will tell you is this person is really for you. And we haven't make quick decision.
But sometimes when yo…
I want to add that sometimes a person can be inveigled by a beauty or good social position or mind of another mate. Sometimes a person can go mad because of another mate. And he can feel that he/she absolutely falls in love with this person. But aft…
In my opinion God gives us a free will to choose who will be your future wife/husband. And before marriage He does not determine to us that you should marry only this person. And before marriage we have time to see different ppl and to choose many c…
Christ is Risen!
But can anybody clarify me did our Lord Jesus Christ is risen by His own power or did the Father raise Him?
As in the examples, mentioned by Imikhail and in this example: "Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him…
Thank you for understanding Mabsoota :)
I'm very glad that you know that in our country the official Orthodox church became the slave of the government after the declaration of 1927 of Soviet pseudo-patriarch Sergy Stragorodsky where he told that a…
Hello everybody,
I found this very important topic which bothered me about 5 years. I got acquainted with Coptic Christians 5 years ago. From the external side of behavior of the Coptic Christians I found that they are true Christians. But in our ch…
