Live Q&A with Fr Anthony Mourad - November 6th, 2024 (2)

[@cypriothomolies]

I was confirmed today in the Coptic church St Demas being my patron saint. I'm so excited since I've found the truth from the truly ancient church. I grew up protestant then in late 20s became RC, 5 years later joined a ROCOR orthodox church. But after the lockdown I've read and studied the alexandrian fathers and fell in love with Athanasius, Gregory of Nyssa and even Isaac of Nineveh. Went to the local (and new) Coptic church on a whim (realizing I've been slowly guided) and cried on my drive home after the first liturgy letting St Basil's words sink in and it was like everything suddenly made sense. I've found my home until I fall asleep in the Lord. Thank you and God Bless!

My question is I’m Ethiopian orthodox. I baptized when I was a baby. Should I get baptized again? Second question I was receiving communion Russian orthodox church now the priest told me we are not communion with Coptic church and I stop receiving the communion what should I do?

[@tonyyounan2536]

When you got baptised as a baby in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church you don’t have to get rebaptized. The oriental Orthodox Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church are not in communion so don’t take the communion outside the oriental Orthodox Church.

@@tonyyounan2536everything you said is correct! However, it’s officially up to the bishops in your area whether you can or cannot take communion at your neighbour’s church 🙏

Did a Christian believe in the theory of evolution ?

[@jcttsoghmumas]

a christian cannot believe in that theory, because were created by God

[@dyrilax7086]

@jcttsoghmumas But did God create us through the evolution ?

[@jcttsoghmumas]
