Who are the Copts?
The Coptic Orthodox Church is Apostolic. She was founded by St. Mark the Apostle and Evangelist (one of the 72 Apostles chosen by Christ), when he preached Christianity in the city of Alexandria in circa 43 AD. We have since kept the faith intact. Our current Patriarch HH Pope Tawadros II is the 118th Patriarch of the Coptic Orthodox Church.
What is our Christian Objective?
We believe a Christian’s purpose is to enlighten those around him through his or her own unity with Christ. This ultimate objective is achieved through sharing in the Sacramental Life of the Church, which was handed down through Holy Tradition (which includes the Holy Bible as its major source) from the Apostles till this day. The Coptic Orthodox Church intends to keep this Life intact that Christians may enjoy the fullness of unity with the One Trinitarian God. This fundamental purpose starts with proper Orthodox Teaching.

Christianity is Deep Intimacy with God with Fr. Anthony Mourad
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit; One God, Amen.
How do we pray? Do we practice empty rituals? Do we seek the means or the end? You will be shocked to see the depth of intimacy God wants with us.

Orthodoxy & Mental Health with Fr. Anthony Mourad
Просмотров 8533 месяца назад
How should Christians tackle the subject of mental health? Is it a real issue? Did God create us to suffer? Does praying help? What are the leading mental health illnesses?
This discussion is so fascinating. I love the tone set by both interlocutors here. I worship in a reformed/presby church, which is certainly Chalcedonian, but I really wish we will see more dialogues like this with friends in the Oriental Orthodox churches.
Father can you tell us is it possible for lay people to do evangelism or missionary work? Or is it alowed only for priests? There are countries that has no native church of any kind. Can we as ordinary christians go there are live as orthodox and pray for those people? I really hope you could answer this becouse i really do not know the answer
I'm a Ukrainian Catholic, but have to say I benefit greatly from your Coptic Orthodox perspectives. Love the Coptic Answers Channel! Thanks for all you do.
He is not an Orthodox priest but a Monophysite heretic.
We are not monophysite please understand before you accuse people of heresy. If you really want to be genuine, you should admit and recognize that in council of Ephesus it was declared Christ is of 2 nature but 1 composite nature. Just read St. Cyrils writings on the topic and the 12 anathemas. Then come back and tell us who changed their theology when they accepted Leo’ Tome. It you are genuinely wanting to learn about it then you can reply back, but please don’t start accusing people without first understanding what you are uttering
@@natg1m You are under anathema ever since the 4th Ecumenical Council and only way to change that is for you to repent and confess faith of the Lord's Bride - Eastern Orthodox Church. Until then, may Lord have mercy on the souls of Miaphysite/Monophysite heretics.!
Are you living a sin free life? Are you sure you will be in heaven when you die? Are you saved by grace after all you can do? How’s that going for you? Maybe you haven’t done enough? In other words your works won’t save you. You need Christ and you must be born again. Jesus’ words not mine.
@@MrMfloor All your questions are based on man made tradition that was started back in 16th century by an unhappy, drunken, constipated German monk. You are follower of man inventions that have nothing to do with the original Christianity as preserved in 2000 years old Eastern Orthodox Church.
@@johnnyd2383may God have mercy on you for you’ll have to give an account on judgement day for your actions
I think you're on to something. I also think we make a mistake when we think we can define this relationship, or even really understand it. I will say this, spiritual growth is the fruit. I don't think a man in this world can grow in faith and purity without this relationship.

Thank you for this uplifting lesson. You speak very well. 💙 For the person in the other comment who mentioned free will and pre-destination, I think that God created all of us to have the potential of living in relationship with him, and those people you mention Joseph etc were examples of the great good that can come from free will. Trying to second-guess God's intentions doesn't seem important to me.
That icon of St. Mina is very sweet.
Great interview
It is sad that many Protestants continually criticise Catholics (UNFAIRLY).
Austin and his various interview partners had a rather large hand in my reconnecting with Christianity, and ultimately being chrismated in an (Eastern) Orthodox parish, about a year ago.
logismoi?
Love my Coptic brothers but they are not Orthodox. I started my journey through the Coptic Church before switching to the Genuine Orthodox Church
As a Protestant I am fascinated that every orthodox denomination says the others are not true orthodox. Why is that?
Is it the official doctrine of the EOC?
Coptic Orthodox Church has not changed in 1,800 years unlike the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic Church! That makes me think they are more likely to be the genuine Church.
@@Marcosnationalistos Can you tell me where you got the information on how the Coptic Orthodox is the right one? I want to read more about it!
@@gfujigo cause they think everyone that doesn't 100% agree with their dogma are heretics that are Anathema. That's the general issue with the apostolic churches as I call them.
Wonderful channel thank you
I love coptic orthodox church and other non chalcedonian orthodox churches also
Excellent!☦

Hi there Abouna, wonderful video as always!!! I have a question I’m hoping you guys can help me out with on the topic of free will. I know in the Coptic Church we are highly opposed to the idea of predestination, but I am having a difficult time wrapping my head around it. For example, in the case of John the Baptist, God created him in the timing he did and gave Elizabeth and Zechariah a son so he would become the forerunner of Christ. John was said to be filled with the Spirit even from his mother’s womb. I can’t help but few God created him to be the forerunner. So the question from me would be if John the Baptist even had a free will, since that was the purpose God created him for? Or even in the story of Joseph, we know that he was different and favored by Jacob over the rest of his brothers. And we also know that God used Joseph to save Egypt from famine, and through all his tribulations he stayed faithful to God, despite the evils his brothers did to him. So was Joseph created for this purpose? We know Joseph could have fallen into temptation, but didn’t, and that was his own free will. But I can’t help but feel God created him already like that with a good heart. So was both John the Baptist and Joseph not predestined for their will and mission? Or maybe the question boils down to what makes a persons heart good and pure vs evil? Like how did Joseph have the best heart of his brothers? Does God made it that way, or do we? Thank you so much for your time and I’m hoping you can offer me some insights. 🙏 Thanks again
I sure Abouna can answer your good question. My thoughts are about Jonah in that he had free will and desired to go in the opposite direction to the city God wanted him to go. Many things happened to him and he ended up fulfilling Gods will of having Nineveh repent whom Jonah would of thought was impossible and a waste of time.
Pope kirilos 🙏💕💕💕💕💕💕🇪🇷🇪🇷 I love you SEYDNA 🙏 May your prayers be with as 🙏
Thanks
I'm Lutheran, but I have a soft spot for the Coptic church. I enjoyed listening to this conversation! Also, can confirm that we hold to the Real Presence in the eucharist. However we hold to more of a presbyterial succession rather than apostolic succession.
what is the key different between Presbyterian and Lutheran?
@@ClipPerry We have different understanding of the sacraments, church polity, and generally how we interpret scripture. Presbyterians will typically have a memorial view of the eucharist (though some hold to spiritual presence) and covenental/symbolic view of baptism. Lutherans hold to sacramental union in the eucharist and baptismal regeneration. Presbyterians strictly hold to presbyterian polity where Lutherans allow for a number of polities. Presbyterians typically use a covenental paradigm to interpret scripture where Lutherans use a Christological approach. There's more, but I think this is a fair intro to the distinctions.
Fr Gabriel thank you for talking with Austin. He is a humble young man. 🙏🏽
