i think he (?she) means 'if you are being serious'.probably used autocorrect and missed out the 'o' from typing too fast...

:)very weird confessing by telephone, though.
-
well, there was no queue (everyone is more spiritual than me and prays at home), but i did get in half an hour early!liturgies open in uk this weekend, and will probably only be a few weeks before everyone can be fitted in.is all usa open now? i see…

although this does mean we need to live our lives as if kidnap and killing won't shake our foundations...
-
also, having a cross means that you might get a Christian burial if you are discovered after being kidnapped and killed. it may help with identification.:)

my current priest is very against it, but my confession father (from the church i joined the orthodox church in) says it's ok.it is a bit controversial in our church. just remember that you can never go to a spa in japan once you have any sort of ta…

fine by me

love u too :)however our Lord Jesus did not pray in an old language and the Bible (new testament) was in the standard greek at the time when it was written, not in the formal greek of the government and courts.

by the way, the word 'unto' is extremely old fashioned and not used in current speech.it sounds really weird to hear it in the church.when do you ever say 'give that book unto me?'you say instead 'give me the book'.in the same way, it makes more sen…

yes, or if you wake up during the night and your house mate is away:)

ok, ok, but pleaseeeee ask a native speaker (whether coptic and in english speaking country for many years, or a foreigner like me) to read them before printing!just this week, i read that Jesus boar our sins (instead of bore), just before the leafl…

i realise i did not actually answer the question, sorry.the times are the ones copticboy101 posted :)most priests (in my limited experience) recommend you pray the first hour on waking and the 12th hour (6pm) on going to bed.most people (including m…

wow, like in modern english? that would be great! we could set up a subcommittee to proof read it:)
-
we discuss it with our spiritual advisers (usually the confession father).hesychasm is a word used in the EO (eastern orthodox) churches to describe Christian meditation and listening to God talking to us.i think our OO (oriental orthodox) churches …

links about the visit of our Lord to egypt: https://www.lacopts.org/orthodoxy/coptic-orthodox-church/history/the-holy-family-in-egypt/this says that pope theophilus had a vision (towards the end of the 300s AD) that lead to the discovery of the plac…

i checked out the author on line, i think he does not belong to any particular religion, but is probably 'spiritual' and interested in ancient religions. he mentions reading 'apocrypha', so will probably present stories from gnostic writings about J…

how did the baptism go? in uk, our churches are allowed to open for 3 periods of 2 hours only each week, from this week.not sure how we are going to divide the several hundred ppl who want to go to church into 3 groups, and then expect them to keep …
-
sure, but when did you last tell your mum or best friend she was beneficient?!i recommended something onefaith33 can easily access online as he/she may not want to download something if he/she is only investigating orthodox Christianity at this stag…

congratulations, minatasgeel, on your new daughter!make it a long, slow baptism to make the most of being in church.:)and thanks so much, italian coptic, yr prayers are very welcome. although it is more likely to be crunchy veg with dips and kofta /…

ok, i think what italiancopic means is that we don't believe in hollywood movies that are loosely based on 1980s American protestant 'end of the world' theories (which are based on earlier theories, as above).(am i right?)we do believe the world is …
-
wow!that is so nice for you. i had a good day today too.i got to meet nice Christians at work today, 1 client and 1 colleague.nearly as good!:)
-
so who has been to church?was it weird the first time back?did you cry a lot (i will)?i am trying to figure out how it will be so i am prepared (other than taking plenty of tissues).i did go to church in my dreams last night, that was lovely, less s…

sorry, that should say 'live' in syria!too much cycling makes my fingers type strangely!
-
this is an 'ask your spiritual father' question.when i was traveling and wanted to take Holy Communion with EO, I spoke to one of the priests (who lived with the bishop) to see when I could ask the bishop to request permission.he said i did not need…

i heard that some churches in usa will open soon, i hope that is right.:)
