In instances where theological decisions were so heavily surrounded by politics, how would it be fitting to determine whether one is correct and the other is incorrect, or if both are wrong, or if (as I believe is the case with II Ephesu…
"Sure none us is St. Mary, but Christ did not say “be perfect as my mother is perfect.” He said something far more drastic than that" oh yes He did. I'll need a lot of His help and grace and mercy for that one. ❤
I honestly haven't heard the story …
But then there are excerpts like this from On the Trinity that say the image of God is not in me unless I am joined to a husband, but in man the image of God is complete even if he is not joined to a wife.
"Unless, forsooth, according to that whic…
@minasoliman
Didn't Christ even say "Unless you eat the Flesh of the Son of Man and drink His Blood, you have no life in you"
I understand what you are saying about the guideline. And I know I'm still pretty young to be worried about having kids …
Doesn't adherence to Levitical laws of ritual purification kind of undermine the work of Christ to purify and sanctify us? Does His sacrifice suddenly not apply to me if I am menstruating? If I die while menstruating or shortly after giving birth wi…
I always thought that us not preserving the Holy Mysteries was in accordance with the fact that for Passover it was mandated that the lamb be finished, and none of it be preserved for another day.
Here is an exerpt from an article I found:
"Meanwhile, the Coptic Orthodox Church similarly expressed severe concern over the Trump Administration’s intention to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, saying it “contradicts all international…
But on the upside, I've wanted to know the Church Fathers better, but was worried because I have trouble focusing when reading, and yesterday I found a bunch of writings on Audible! :D I guess I have something else to do after finals. :D
@Daniel_kyrillos
That is really helpful. Thank You! :)
Also, I was wondering if you knew any good resources where I can learn the Alhan better, because unfortunately I don't really know it well. I am beginning to learn to read Coptic, so for slow…
How did you do that for the Liturgy? (Because I can't really stick ear buds in then).
Does getting used to using the instrumental tracks on your own time begin to help even when you don't have them?
Also, what would you recommend I do if I find my…
Do you think instrumental tracks would be effective? I have tracks of like spiritual songs (non-orthodox, tho) that are all in instrumental form.
Also, one thing that really frustrates me is that I've heard people say things like "If you're bored/…
I am posting this mostly because I kind of love that Google knows "seyami" means "vegan"

@Remnkemi
It does not seem that this same condition is placed on Coptic martyrs. When a church is bombed, for example, the bomber doesn't threaten before hand. It is usually unexpected by the congregation, and yet those killed are still called marty…
Speaking of the Friday Theotokia, do you happen to know where I can find the coptic-english text for it? The one I found on here doesn't have the coptic words in the English alphabet.
