this is a good question for yr confession father. different things make different ppl cry, so there is no single answer that fits all ppl. start by praying and reading the Bible (eg the daily readings) and pray psalm 50 (51) every day and think abou…

it was the church and the oral tradition that gave the authority.

yes, keep looking, don't give up.it is good to ask questions:)

i joined as the only orthodox Christian in my family, you are v welcome :)

dear friend, i am sad to see you did not confess in childhood. in our orthodox church, this is normal. i have seen 7 year old children talking to a protestant enquirer in my church about confession and they explained it nicely. once you have left it…

this story is grossly inaccurate.

you don't need to date anyone. if you think you are ready for marriage, ask God 2 guide you, then make friends with women and with men (they all have cousins or female friends). treat your female friends like your sisters, in all purity, and learn a…

yes, we only do a 'great entrance' at the time of feasts, when the bread and wine enter the church in procession.i think there are very many similarities between eastern and oriental orthodox churches, but it is not always obvious how they correspon…

yes, adam blamed God as well.italian coptic, would you like to tell us more about how your wife lead you to the faith?i think it would be useful for jathniel as well as the rest of us.11 years is a long time, could she maybe send me a personal messa…

26 nov equals 17 hator. this is equivalent to 13 nov on the 'new' roman calendar. he is one of my favourites :)

no, just found words in Arabic and coptic - http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/2611and someone else's singing - http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Hymns/Major_Feasts_of_the_Lord/Nativity_Paramoun/Cantor_Tawfik_Youssef.htmlit looks like a nice hymn about the w…

'te' or 'ti' is the feminine word for 'the'. 'pi' or 'bi' or 'b' or 'ba' (depending on how you transliterate it) is the masculine word for 'the'.eg. piChristos = (the) Christ.try this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JlNTGDSStQ&list=PLEEBD2A6EA7…

https://m.youtube.com/watch?list=PLF7AD87A732FB31D3&v=uFRgADT9w6w this is about the middle of the course, you should find links to the other lessons. i found just doing lessons 1 to 10 were enough for getting a basic understanding of coptic hymn…

correct advice. also note that you are following the 1st man when you blame 'eve'. best just 2 confess u are wrong, we all sin sometimes.

oops, just enjoyed my kusheri a bit too much!;) and i do love falafel more than steak, but am missing my tea with milk! i agree we all also need to pray more and focus on being kind to others, as our Lord has been very kind to us.:)

i love this line by mina soliman: "You need to get your head out of foxnews and start seeing a much bigger picture here" so true...:)

2 awesome answers, good work :)

funny memory; as a new orthodox Christian i asked my friend if honey is 'sayami' and she said; why are you worried about honey? i am still trying to give up milk! it was several months before I found out the answer! :))

i suspect if u lived a few years in egypt it would make perfect sense.

he who wishes to lead should be the servant of all

big topic, but i will start and hope many others will contribute. adam and eve were vegan. God only allowed eating animals after the flood because the world was too damaged for vegan diet to be enough nutrients. also during the fasts, the animals …

Very nice. Would anyone like to translate it to modern english?
-
i expect one of the longer coptic hymns will do the trick, for example evlogimenos (blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord) also have some icons to look at. print out some paper ones if u don't have any wooden ones. i think orthodox chur…
-
but is your kusheri kosher? ;) my own recipe: 1. go to local indian or turkish shop. 2. buy foul medames in various flavours (saudi and egyptian are my favourite, costs less than £1 per 400g) 3. empty contents into bowl 4. heat up (optional!) serve…

certainly He is involved in all yr life, He should be the centre of it. do u go to liturgy when there is a sermon? or do u just go midweek when there are shorter services? sermons and Bible studies in church should answer most of yr questions.

show him u love him. fast and pray. email nearest priest to his address to see if he is available, but visit yr dad 1st to check if he agrees to see someone. clean yr heart by repentance and confession so God will work through u. may God guide u a…

certainly we can eat honey, i checked with several people (including a priest) and it is definitely allowed in the fast. european vegans class honey as an animal product as it is made by bees.bees are not plants, so they are animals.so be careful no…

ask your friend if she likes you, or ask her friends.or ask your parents, if you have a good relationship with them. basically, ask someone you trust, then that person will tell you if your instincts are right and she likes you. if you don't have a …
