We do not believe in predestination as per the Calvinist doctrine, my dear aschauer82. We do believe that God knows where our destination is and that our destination is ultimately decided by the path we choose due to our free will (foreknowledge pre…

Theophilus, I loved that book! This is a wonderful recommendation to our brother CopticStrength. May God bless you both!

It is not a "solution" or problem-solving method as you look at it. You need to look at it is a connection between you and your Father and nothing else. With every prayer, genuine repentance is key. This is the only way it is an "arrow" prayer, as C…

Aschauer82, I am so happy to hear your story as it is very uplifting for us naturally-born Coptics as well. Sometimes, I take advantage of the fact that I was born into this beautiful Church and I treat it as though it is sometimes just an everyday …

Je Nai Nan, Please my brother; Save a piece of your hair for me as my blessing when you depart to Heaven.

My dear Theophilus, Upon googling just the term "Coptic Iconography," I have found numerous websites that explain the many schools: contemporary, old, etc. I highly recommend these websites if you are trying to find information fast. Just a littl…

[quote author=Monasticsx link=topic=13017.msg152973#msg152973 date=1331610153] Hello everyone. I have a few questions. 1) What is the purpose of the belt the monk wears when he is ordained?? 2) What are the two levels of brotherhood? thanks. […

My dear John Carlos, We do not wear African clothes. We have taken on the customs of the Arab World and as such, dress in this fashion. I pray that you become a better advertising bot in knowing the target of your audience better; We are not Africa…

Of course Father; You will be in my prayers.

We all have a purpose to fulfill in this lifetime: To reach Heaven. As far as the other purposes, they are secondary.

And you get a true taste of the Church when you attend these Midnight Praises. I highly recommend it. Everyone says it is a taste of Heaven on earth. The lyrics have full meaning, taken straight from the Old Testament. The pauses and long vs short …
