Ok. Thank you for your diligence Zoxsasi! I had found out that the Abouna who furnished the Church suggested using a little furniture oil to wipe down Icons. As to the gold layered Icons...they are high up and no one has attempted to clean them as…

Thanks so much. Simple and Easy.

Dear Sweetie You are still young. Forget about these bad relationships. Stay with the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and continue with your school studies. Surely when you are finished with your studies, confirmed in our righteous Church; our Me…

I agree that one should just be grateful to have a COC with serving Priest and Deacons. Since it is a COPTIC Orthodox Church one should expect that language to be spoken. It is very nice for us English speaking persons that the COC is kind enough t…

The concept of the book Man's Deification is 'the fall of man'. Pope Shenouda III explains that since Satan who was an angel of rank lusted after that which was not his. Satan wanted (wants) to be God. Satan had it all but iniquity was found in him …

St. John Chapter 2 24 But Jesus did not commitHimself to them, because He knew all men, 25 and had no need that anyone should testify of man, for He knew what was in man.

To me loving the Lord our God with all our heart, soul and mind in practice would be: praying the Agpeya every day and night. Going to Church as much as possible; participating in the Church sacraments. Performing "The Chief Works of Mercy"..... …

Hi Sara, Sorry about your 'troubles'. Please reconsider leaving the COC! It is such a wonderful Church! If there is another Sister Church close by then go there for a while, but do not totally cast off your attendance to the COC. There is much…

These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: 2 as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou …

I agree that one should be wary of Abba Gebre Tsadik and his followers. I agree, having much sadness that our men are so confused. I have been in correspondence with Abba Gebre Tsadik; I was so happy to find someone who I thought was a true EOTC …

Congratulations Ioannes! Great work. Please pray for me.

And He said, "The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade,…

Theophilus in the beginning God just wished it to be us and Him; no "middle man", but people couldn't handle the Truth staring them in the face so they called for Judges and Kings. These Judges and Kings where to be intercessors between man and God…

I apologize if my comments where taken as "contemptuous"!!?? Gosh, did not think I was attacking anyone Remnkemi. I felt it was just rhetoric. Wow it is just like the Devil to try and make us think that speaking of Gods Truth is "contemptuous" but …

Yes minatasgeel, I am VERY serious. I believe you need to study Gods Word a little harder. I'm very sorry for this sordid world. Homosexuality is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit! An abomination; detested by all things Holy! Is it really far fetch…

I do not agree that homosexuality is like any other sin. the Holy Scriptures teach that there is sin that leads to death and sin that does not lead to death! And I think it is very important for homosexuals to realize how grievous and dangerous the…

I don't think the COC has been changed. That is the whole point of Orthodoxy; it remains the same, from Christ to His Disciples - to us! We allow our circumstances to change us. That is why we have this Great Time of Lent to repent and get ourselves…

I have read of the Holy Eskeem. The garment given to a man once he is accepted as a Monk Priest. Usually the man goes to the Head of a Monastery and tells him of his longing to be a Monk Priest. Most times the man requesting the Holy Eskeem is taugh…

[quote author=ebnyasoo3 link=topic=14521.msg165315#msg165315 date=1372740169] Hello, As you all know that our Coptic Church is rich with the teachings of the early church fathers. It would be nice to quote some of those early fathers during our Sun…

[quote author=dthoxsasiPhilanethrope link=topic=14334.msg163827#msg163827 date=1363605523] What can we do to stop being heretical? I'm fed up. I didn't know that being Coptic Orthodox would even make me an outcast amongst other Orthodox Christians…
