thanks, minatasgeel for all your hard work on the website. i was enjoying the site earlier today, when i saw u updated some hymns :) this is one of my favourites: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/691 i just about understand enough coptic to r…

i pray you get the best marks. do u have any other exams or do u have some free time now?
-
hi, you liked school about as much as i did! :( it looks like you did share your faith, though, through your actions and through working hard at school and listening during the liturgy. i wore unfashionable sandals in the summer (we were poor and i…

thanks, remnkemi for your long and very interesting post. this explains my confusion during Holy Week when one set of readings was being read and another one was in the book!

very good advice. fasting should be gradual. the first time i fasted during saint mary's fast (which was 5 years ago, during which time i joined the orthodox church!) i only gave up meat, which was hard enough at the time as i was living with (and o…

i have replied on the other thread: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php/topic,14572.0.html :)

this is true. older people tend to be more religious, but most british born hindus i know under age 30 wear leather shoes and most british muslims i know drink beer (but not during the fast). interest in non organised religion, such as pantheism, cr…

hey, we love being orthodox Christians here! people see it as a bit of a novelty and ask more questions than if you are protestant or catholic. they assume Christianity is boring, so it is interesting to them to find someone who loves it. we feel t…

you are right, i have the closer translation somewhere and will look for it. i have re-translated it into better english (just how someone can mix 'you' and 'thee' in the same song is beyond me, sounds terrible to a native english speaker!). if you …

hi, welcome! i am also on the other forum. we get more bots here (spammers) so don't be surprised if you see some weird comment in bad english with advertising signature about buying trainers (sports shoes)! which part of america is seattle? (am ign…
-
i agree, and also you should share this in confession. another thing is that you may have too much spare time. keep busy helping others who have trouble - visit an old person, cook something for a sick person etc. if you still have lots of time, mem…

thanks a lot. 'i sought after you' is a more difficult tune for me, never mind, it will soon (!) be kiahk.
-
is this sung to the same tune as 'my heart and my tongue'? (second psali adam during kiahk) and does anyone know where i can hear a recording of this sung at a normal pace? i found one sung very slowly, but in our church, we always sung it at a boun…

there are many questions here, i will answer what i can. our church teaches that only those who accept Jesus are saved. when Jesus was in the place of the dead (hades) after He was crucified, He went and preached to those who had died before (1 Pete…

yesterday i learnt (tried to learn...) 2 papal hymns with this site. it's really good. :)
-
lovely! if you are really asking for feedback, can i say that the subdeacons' microphones are too loud? they need to be fixed to be quieter than the priest's microphone, then it would be even more lovely. :)
-
dear sister, please keep going to church. i know it is hard when you feel people are looking at you, but maybe you can go to early morning liturgy during the week or on saturday when there are less people. anyone who judges you needs to judge their …

examples are limited, they can never tell us everything about God. God is not limited. :)
-
so lovely, so encouraging, so sweet, so refreshing, praising to God for His goodness! stay calm, and avoid the downs AND the ups of trusting emotions. may God continue to guide you and all others who struggle. :)
-
another gem: 'nafs il melody, different words' (the same melody...) gotta love it :) you can follow the coptic words and the translation here: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?a=view&id=110
-
but u have to be really bilingual to understand it! LOL i actually like the random mixture of english and arabic words in the explanation, but i wonder how widely it's understood. e.g. 'khali barak; those two lines' instead of 'look carefully at th…

most french catholic (practicing, not just occasional attenders). the bride was previously catholic from another country. one of the guests is agnostic. could you send me p.m. with your details? thanks a lot for your help. :)
-
what do you fill your head with? angry / sexual music will encourage bad thoughts. church attendance, thinking of your relationship with God and taking Holy Communion will encourage good thoughts. if you take care what you watch, read and listen too…

this is one of today's Bible readings: 2Cor 11:16-end ; 2Cor 12:1-12 http://www.copticchurch.net/cgibin/bible/index.php?r=2Cor+11:16-end+;+2Cor+12:1-12&version=NKJV&showVN=1 look at this: And lest I should be exalted above measure…

lovely! yes, he is a very blessed priest :) (and i can see someone i know on the video!)

one of the news stories: http://news.yahoo.com/egypts-mursi-defies-army-plots-future-without-him-010721364.html keep praying. our God is mighty.

i think separation is usually the best way forward because that way you are not divorced yet, you have time to decide what to do while you stay alive and think about it. well done for choosing this. i will also send you personal message. may God gui…

nice article biboboy. nice website too. does no-one write there anymore? there are no new posts. do people use tasbeha.org instead that used to use it? my priest says that judas did partake of the Holy Communion and he has a masters in theology (eq…
