The Coptic Orthodox Church is extremely such as the different Orthodox church homes and the Catholic Church of their ideals, in spite of the certainty that they broke with Rome in relating to the 365 days 350. they are culturally very distinctive from those different Christian bodies simply by fact of their language and national variations. They resemble the Greek Orthodox maximum heavily. They venerate St Anthony the hermit, and St Catherine they have a monastery on Mt Sinai.

It depends on which Coptic Church. There are Coptics under the umbrella of the Holy See (The See of Alexandria) and there are Orthodox. While they have similar beliefs they do vary.

Salvation is a process of seeking to be more Christ like and seeking the sacraments.

Nothing is a greater injury to the children of men than to be under the influence of a false spirit when they think they have the the Spirit of God.

Thousands have felt the influence of its terrible power and baneful effects. Long pilgrimages have been undertake, penance endured, and pain, misery and ruin have followed in their train; nations have been convulsed, kingdoms overthrown, provinces laid waste, and blood, carnage and desolation are the habiliments in which it has been clothed.
