yes, it's not that unusual to change in teenage years or early adulthood, coz u no longer are dependent on yr parents and might start to think a bit differently to them. maybe start by telling him u are grown up now and would like to do some things …

u seem to be generally worried about many things. God will guide you. seek first the kingdom of God and then these other things will be given to you as well. God has a plan for you, He does not expect from you more than you can give. He just asks th…

we know that gnostics were not true Christians, so we are bit confused about the images you use and we don't have a good response. this is a good resource for information about Jesus Christ: http://st-takla.org/JESUS-index.html

dear mikeforJesus, if u are unsure or uncertain about how to serve God, it is best to speak to a mature, sensible Christian who knows you, for example your confession father, to ask him what to so next. we do not know you, so we can't tell you what …

that's great. if there is any way u can get there for easter liturgy (Pascha), don't miss it. is should start somewhere around 9pm on night of 14th. if u miss it, u have to wait another year to celebrate it! maybe the church even has rooms for peop…

amoussa01 thanks for yr quote. it is good to quote church teaching :) mikeforJesus are u upset about something? pls talk to a friend or priest or send a personal message.

may God help u in yr study. try praying from the agpeya, great at putting things in perspective. www.agpeya.org doesn't give headaches like caffeine / red bull ;)
-
good points, but to go as far as saying any saints 'save' us is going further than the church hymns and church tradition. we say in the midnight praises 'all joy befits you, oh mother of God, for through your Son salvation came to the world'. we don…

ok, these are the oversimplifications of the differences between what yr church believes (from the website i found on the net) and what we (orthodox Christians) believe: we believe roughly the same on the trinity, Jesus' divine and human natures and…

i agree that too much counseling is not good. but sometimes people can have a specific problem, like autism or asperger's syndrome or schizophrenia that gives them problems socialising. so i think if someone has problems socialising he /she should s…

these are some good suggestions. do these and remember how much God loves u. reach out to those who need yr help also, they may be feeling worse than u are. may God guide u and give u His peace. :)

abouna matta el meskin (matthew the poor) wrote some beautiful things that have helped me get closer to God. baba shenouda wrote some beautiful things that have helped me get closer to God. they are both now interceding for us before the throne of G…

it's probably in ethiopia. they won't let u check it out, even for huge sums of money or threats of genocide. so best forget about it till u get to heaven, then u can ask God. (if u r not too distracted by falling down in worship and seeing all the…

i was in a position to give advice to a muslim colleague not so long ago. because i showed through our discussion that he was important to me as a person, not just as a colleague and because i took time out to listen to him, he was very calm and tho…

could u please send a link? the 'Bible societies' are usually protestant in origin. was their Bible translated by protestants, catholic or orthodox? i would be very interested to find out more. :)
-
i was at work. heard it was good though.
-
in practice, people who read the Bible in arabic use the masoretic text for the old testament (no deuterocanonical books as it was translated into arabic by protestants, the orthodox had not got around to it!) but parts of the Bible (a large part th…

becoming a Christian is easy. u just have to give your whole life to Jesus Christ every day, die to your old nature, join in accepting suffering for the sake of the glory of God and consider everything u ever had to not belong to you. ;) so as it'…
-
thanks so much for posting this. will it be recorded anywhere? i will be very busy at work all day. also i LOVE the way baba shenouda's picture is at the top of the forums page. i hope his face will remind us to be polite and not judgemental in our…

u r very welcome on this website. as u will see our patriarch went yesterday to his eternal rest, and we (even those of us who never met him) miss him terribly as his sermons, his wisdom and his deep love (for God, for us and for all people of all f…

ioannes, yr post brings tears to my eyes, it's so true. is there any way to comment on the memorial if u don't have an account with yahoo, hotmail, aol and facebook? it has been lovely to read all the posts there and i would like to write something.
-
yes, i have heard that sermon before, it was great. :)
-
we said different ones in church today. but it was useful to have these ones to get the general idea
-
thanks a lot for these, mina.
-
qawe, if the end of the world comes soon, we won't live that many years to see patriarchs come and go. maybe that is what mina was saying. it still feels sad and strange, even though we are obviously much younger. may God give us all peace and may …
