It’s official. The Coptic Orthodox Church, Diocese of Sydney and affiliated regions has given the blessing and approval to the Coptic orthodox Christian Motorcycle Association.

No doubt the first Coptic Orthodox Christian bike club in the world and quite possibly the first amongst all Orthodoxy.

All Coptic motorcyclists or any Coptics that are interested in motorcycles are welcome to join in.

Our basic goals are, Read the rest of this entry »

Feminism is often propagated as wonderful and enriching to society – often synonymous with equality – however this could not be further away from the truth. The origins of feminism appear to stem from this urge to have equality among the sexes – this weird ideology that man and woman can do exactly the same thing. But is this ideology even remotely possible and healthy?

Definitely not! Man and woman are inherently different, having different characteristics and roles. Man cannot give birth to a child for example, is this equality then? It goes without saying that if God wanted man and woman to be equal in everything then why did he trouble himself and create Eve in the first place.

We must know that Eve was created in the image and likeness of God. Like Adam, she was created for the purpose of knowing, ultimately knowing God. Read the rest of this entry »

“Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you” (Jeremiah 1:5).

Abortion is death of a living person. The Hon. Ted Cunningham MLA of Western Australia said, on March 17, 1998. “No gynaecologist anywhere in this world will tell a woman “Madam, for the first few months of your pregnancy you are having a fish”. Naturally, it is always a baby in the womb. It is beyond any doubt that what has been destroyed is nothing less than a child. Every person … was once a foetus. Some may say that these are extremely harsh words. They are totally wrong; they are very true words”.

Abortion has been opposed since ancient times. The Sumerian Code of about 2000 BC is the oldest known system to outlaw abortion. The foetus was regarded as a human being in the Assyrian Code of about 1500 BC. The Orthodox Church has opposed abortion, regarding it as murder and a serious sin, since the days of the Apostles.

Proof 6:

Answered Prayer. Skeptics and doubters will not experience this proof, unless they begin to study the Bible and meet its challenges. According to a recent Barna Research report: “Americans believe in the power and impact of prayer. Four out of five (82 percent) believe that ‘prayer can change what happens in a person’s life.’”
Luke 11:1-4 gives us instructions on how to pray. The Bible also gives these guidelines in praying: “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened” (Matthew 7:7–8). Read the rest of this entry »

Natasha entered the busy room. Smoke filled the air in the room and people were pushing against each other. The music was so loud it threatened to deafen her. She placed her hands over her ears and tried to push her way through the crowd. Her eyes scanned the room, trying to locate Jeremy. After what felt like hours of pushing and shoving she saw Jeremy seated at the bar, a large glass of alcohol in his hands. She sat herself next to him.
“Jeremy!” she yelled trying to make her voice audible over the blasting music “What is going on? I hate it here!”
“Relax! You haven’t seen anything yet!” he yelled back. “Come on! Let’s dance” he said standing up and pulling her off her seat.
“No I’d rather not Jeremy. Please NO!!” she struggled as she felt herself being pulled forwards. She suddenly found herself in the middle of a group of people, being pushed around violently. She tried looking for Jeremy but she’d lost him. Read the rest of this entry »

Natasha and Jeremy sat next to each other in their science class. The teacher was explaining the things that were going to be in the HSC trials but no-one in the classroom seemed to pay attention. Madison, one of their friends, abruptly leaned across the table

“So are you guys coming with us Friday night, to the pub?” Madison asked the two friends.

Natasha turned to face Jeremy, who seemed to be smiling mischievously. She didn’t want to say ‘yes’. Suddenly she heard Jeremy’s voice. But he didn’t answer the way she thought he would.

“Yeah sure, Tash and I will be there. Wouldn’t miss it for the world!” Read the rest of this entry »

We live in a world that is extremely complex and which is designed in an amazing way.  The dawn always breaks; the deserts, mountains, and rivers all exist in harmony in surpassing beauty so long as man does not interfere with them!  Nothing lives or dies for itself; all types of life are interdependent.

The traditional question about evolution is: which appeared first, the ear of wheat or the seed?  Did the seed evolve slowly thoughout millennia independently of the stalk of wheat from which it derives its life?

Did the flowers, grasses, and trees evolve very slowly during millions of years independent of the small seeds that are the basis of their lives?

These are difficult questions for the evolutionist to answer, exactly like the old question:  Which appeared first, the egg or the chicken?  The scientist claims this question is trivial, and the reason is that he simply does not know the answer. He therefore prefers to turn this question into a laughable joke in order to avoid having to answer it. Read the rest of this entry »

There are many different varieties of any one species.  No matter how much these may differ in size or form, they are all one species.

The science of comparative genetics is trying to demonstrate that there is a great resemblance between the species of fish, animal, and man.  This is true, but is not a proof of evolution.  It is the strongest proof of the existence of God!  Scientists have failed to convert the unborn offspring of a fish into an animal or into a human as the unborn organism developed into  the same type of fish that laid the egg.

Many of the proofs of the existence of God are interdependent and interrelated.  We can infer these new proofs from the first proof.

The geologists, at the inception of their theories, relied on an ordered universe and an existing matter, just as the theory of evolution relies on the simple laws and matter of life.  So what is this matter?

Matter occupies space and has weight.  We do not necessarily have to see it because some gases, and even the air we breath, are all “matter”. Scientists, until recently used to talk of the “law of the indestructibility of matter.”  However, the discovery of the nuclear nature of matter and Madame Curie’s experiments with radium have proved the possibility of the decomposition and the division of matter.  Read the rest of this entry »
