A lot of people think that the Catholic church gives Mary the title of 'co-redemptrix'. They actually don't and they are against giving her this title. This title has been given to St Mary by some of the fathers of the Catholic church, the Catholic …

Yes Jesus is God, that is what makes Him mediator, being God and man at the same time. He is mediator because He is the only One who has reconciled fallen humanity to God by His reconciling and redeeming life, death, and resurrection. Jesus being …

I read a really nice contemplation on this, (i think by fr Matta el meskine). He was saying that this time communion was special in that it was also a sign of Jesus' resurrection. Jesus was saying to His apostles 'this is My body' and 'this is My b…

i dont think that God is seriously concerned with how many knots are in the rope or if there is a rope there at all. The prayer you spoke of is a very important one, but we should not be counting our repetitions and times in prayer, it only matters …

I still find a reason with disagreeing. If you are remembering your sin to humble yourself that is fine, but i think there are two ways of remembering your sin, one is healthy and the other isnt. And i really disagree with vassilios (no offence) say…

Then this girl went crazy. I mean, she flipped. She was like: "Oh no! Abouna!! How can you say that?? I understand this girl, and i would be thinking the exact same thing. This topic is very serious for me. I have read a lot and been taught about …

Hi, With all respect to H.H. Pope Shenuda, there is another explanation i find making more sense. This explanation was given by St Augustine in his Homilies on the gospel of St John. He says that the words 'do not touch me' said by Christ to Mary a…

Hey Luke90, you are free to disagree, i am only speaking on the what i have read and my knowledge is limited, but this is a quote from a Catholic book i have "The church proclaims that our only redeemer is Jesus Christ. However, on account of Mary'…

You can't take out Coptic completely from the Liturgies, we would lose our heritage Since when did heritage have anything to do with faith? In an opportunity where losing heritage would advance the faith what would you prefer? Have you noticed tha…

[quote author=Luke90 link=board=1;threadid=3903;start=0#msg54899 date=1147914761] (i.e. they sometimes call her the "coredeemer/coredemptrix" which is absolute rubish, but you can bet they have an excuse for it.) [/quote] Those titles are not give…

Hey Rabi-Yaso3-Bey7ebeni, You are right that foreign countires' freedom may make people think they dont need God, but that is why i said these counries are what you make of them. Some people may chose to let these circumstances weaken their faith, o…

Hey WMA Let me say i do not really think the case where a family may go hungry one night or not have shelter is common in Australia. Our country provides free education, close to free health care, and welfare for the unemployed and studying, not to …

Hey Luke90 Im from Australia, here the declining fertility rate is actually a problem. Nobody is having as many children, homosexuality is growing and i think we have something like 200,000 abortions a year. And we have already introduced a law wher…

When the early Christians placed all they had at the apostles feet in order for it to be evenly distributed, they done so willingly! Would it then be Christian for us to allow people to be forced into doing so? Also capitalism and communism are not…

Da Vinci Code Movie is not just a fairy tale movie to watch as you would spider man. It is a blasphemous attack on our saviour and is in no way to be used as entertainment. We may as well watch pornography as entertainment which is not even a direc…

It is very upsetting to hear about people like this, but on another note. I think we are not having enough children! Many of us are blessed with a lot of money and capabilities but choose to have less children because we want more (for us or the chi…

Hey regarding that verse, it is not claiming we should not prove validity of the bible, we are not ignorant beleivers, our faith makes sense and is not blind. I think what the passage is saying is that while we preach Christ, His power and wisdom w…

[quote author=hardyakka link=board=1;threadid=3776;start=0#msg53776 date=1146489326] However the church teaches us that only souls can go to paradise. this raises a question if St Mary's body was taken up wholly where do we expect to find her? Defin…

Hey Vassilios, I dont know exactly when or who added the 1 week preparation. But i personally think about it this way, when we start getting into a long fast, its like your spirituality increases toward the end, by controllong the flesh through fast…

hey vassilios well 1st of all, the reason you stated for Jesus fasting 40 days makes sense, so then i think what you are implying is if Jesus didnt want to go over 40 days which is all man can do then why do we? Its important to remember Jesus fast…

Ok, ive read some posts, and i do not understand how Christians can read the book and consider it a good book for entertainment and be proud that they have not fallen into the trap of beleiving the lies. As if that is the only trap the devil has set…
