There are many apparitions in the Coptic Orthodox Church for the Theotokos and also in The Catholic Church , do you believe in that personally ??

personally , i doubt it while my church recognise some of it

I'm sorry I dont know about Coptic apparitions, except the recent one I asked about at your forum..

I've researched the Catholic apparitions, and I totally believe them (the accepted ones.)

In the CC they are accepted after they are investigated for many years. To see if it's really Mary or a deceptive spirit.

How is it in the Coptic Orthodox Church?

Do you have a information to the ones that are accepted?

 

[Eucharisted]

The Church teaches that there are at time so-called "private revelations" that act as lights along the path of faith. The Church further teaches that these revelations aren't saving, so you aren't committing a sin by disbelieving in them. However, this doesn't mean the faithful are free to not accept the judgment of the Church on a private revelation.

I'm not Catholic but... Ill talk anyway. I believe it is possible and I believe that certainly they HAVE happened. I don't know about any in particular but I have no reason to believe it can't happen.

A terrible analogy would be if someone said that they heard that celebrity X had an affair. I don't know that it is true since I wasn't there. But unfortunately I am more likely to believe it is true than not because this is typical of hollywood.

In the opposite way, I am (fortunately) more likely to believe it when apparitions do happen to Copts because... they are Copts and miracles like this are common among apostolic Christians.

So why not? Yeah, people make stuff up all the time and I am sure that many a celebrity have been falsely accused of affairs.

But if I were a betting man...

In a game of charity, you would lose. Charity believes no accusation against a man which it gets from hearsay, because it exercises prudence, and prudence knows that men can lie and that the Golden Rule applies.

 

[Joshua G.]

Of course I would lose. My point is simply that there are certain things i take for granted whether I should or not. And I take for granted that the Theotokos appears to the Copts on a regular basis (privately or not, it doesn't matter) just as she does us and you.

Favorite Marian Apparition?

​

 

[Eucharisted]

My favorite is Our Lady of Fatima, because she obtained for me the grace of conversion.

Umm, that seemed to come out of nowhere.

 

[Eucharisted]

Yes, it was a misunderstanding.

 

[JimR-OCDS]

I believe in the apparitions that have been approved by the Church.

However, many of the numerous apparitions being claimed today, are the product of religious fanaticism, nothing more.

I didn't know there where many in the Coptic Orthodox Church.
I know of the recent one and the one in Zeitoun in the late `60s.

And there are so many
see Marian Apparitions of the 20th Century .
I think it's best that we to trust the Church, who has done all the research (sometimes over years). Of course, an approved apparition only means that the news of the apparition may be dispersed since it's safe for one to believe if he chooses. It does not mean that a person has to believe. He just needs to be charitable about it.

my favourite apparitions are Lourdes and Fatima
