* The coptic church had lost its spirit long time ago, particularly at the 7th century, when the arabic tribes invaded Egypt 642 AC.
* Since this time, the curve started to decline, and the great church started to become infected with islamic traditions and concepts.
* In this web page we will try to undrestand the causes of failure, and the ways to regain the christian sipirt (The Holy Spirit).
A true lover of the church.
* The Copts used to be - and they are satisfied about this - isolated for centuries from the outer world (by the Islamic occupation) . They kept thinking that they are still the greatest church allover the world.
* They even keep thinking that most of the other churches are hieratic and these churches won't get salvation until they become Copts orthodox.
* So, it is expected for them to refuse other ways of meditation like that of Budda, Yoga, Hindu ways.
* It is also expected that they refuse catholic and protestant churches , and any other chruches that are not orthodox like them.
* Even the spiritual thinkers of the church like Father Matta El- Miskeen have been rejected as a truth seeker from most of the Coptic church leaders.
* This even keeps them more isolated, more blind , and more vulernable to the Islamic effects.
* Also, this keeps them afraid of the outer world, and loosing the power of thinking , using reason and logical thinking to find more and more about the truth. As if they gave up their minds to the Coptic church leaders to think for them, and forgot that they have brains too.
* We don't blame them, most of the Copts are blinded by the effect of their leaders . These leaders carry the whole resposibilty for the complete isolation of their people.
* But we just ask them to read their history, When their old great leaders were able to read, learn, judge, study, and even teach the philosophical scriptures of their own age. Of course we are talking about a golden era with geart charcters like Athanasius, Oregon, Dediumos the Blind and others.
So, we keep praying and asking Jesus to open their eyes and make them more powerful to learn , study, judge and meditate like the great old ones.
* We are writing about Coptic problems, and we expect that many Copts will not be satisfied about these writings.
* So, we are walking in a different and dangerous area.
* We are not seeking the support of any of both groups, but we are seeking the truth as we see it , and the only support that we ask for is the support of our lord Jesus Christ , who know the truth inside us and can help us to give up any mistakes we could have done.
" When I walk in the valley of shadow of death, I am not afraid anymore because your are with me."
