as far as i know, theres supposed to be some missing link, like, some half ape half human type thing. what puzzles me scientifically is, if we evolved from apes, why are there still apes??! and His Grace Anba Shenouda's response about the use of han…
thats wot i've been saying. evolution was a process controlled by God, perhaps without the ape bit coz it specifically says 'God created man in his image' so that was just a different species created later on. it explains very logically dinosaurs' e…
all im sayin is that they MAY be right to a certain extent, it is not against our faith (apart from the apes bit) many of us now understand the idea that the 'day' wasnt a 24 hour period simply because there was no sun until the 4th 'day' which coul…
ok, this needs a new thread, but i dnt think big bang theory is wrong. from my understanding it does not contradict our belief apart from the claim that we evolved from apes. otherwise the big bang is perfectly acceptable, with a slight modification…
i know its silly but i had to let it out, the same thing was asked on the simpsons! 'Can God heat a burrito so much that he himself cant eat it?' i have nothing to add to wots been said, u cannot tempt God's ability, and it is simply beyong our huma…

Yes, we accept it if it is not a way of abortion. This means if it
is used to avoid, rather than terminate, a pregnancy. However,
once a pregnancy has occurred, than it is a sin to abort the baby,
even if its age is only one hour. So, it is acceptab…
yea they came and prayed with us in our church once, and Anba Angaelos went to pray a their church aswell. We even had a sports day with them! Which reminds me, theres also Ethiopian Orthodox
i know theres the above plus armenian, indian, and not sure abou the exact standing of the Eritrean and Antiochian churches, but we pray for their leaders (but i think they recognise our pope....not sure!)
yea i agree with that, if you end up seeing something you shouldn't, that's not the problem, the problem is the 2nd glance, because that is usually the one made by choice.
i misspelt that, it should be 'your yoke', 'yoke' being the wooden thingie they put on cattle to get them to move in a circle.Basically its restrictive.
isnt the term 'arab' originatin from saudi arabia, in the bible it talks about arabs before islam, but since the muslim movement started there muslims are generall called arabs...i think....
as far as i understand, a monk or a nun are married to the church, but i might be mistaken with a priest...either way, both are sacred relationships! remember marriage is one of the 7 church sacraments!
