God bless u all! and may we all work hard to serve God, at home or while travelling. :)

i don't think there are any recorded cases of orthodox stigmata. but i, myself would not comment on the catholic cases; who can tell whether it is a miracle or a bit of hysteria? it would be bad to get it wrong, so better not comment.

ya ahibeyee, it's over my head shuwayya! ;) but, never mind, keep chatting in coptic, it's good practice for when we get to heaven ;) servant 33, it seems the answer is not simple, but thanks for trying to simplify it! so i'm going to go back to m…

hi, glad u sorted things with yr mum, not everyone has a mum like that who is a good judge of character. but for those who don't have good parents, God will provide the right people to give advice. never go it alone in a relationship, it's great to…

i have asked lots of people this question but i don't think we really know. both ways are fine. the early Christians used to do the sign on their foreheads with their thumb, then it changed over the years to become a sign we make over more of the bo…

yeah, and we all need to stop it.

hi marmar, we didn't find any fresh red dates, but my lovely husband went out and bought me some dry ones from the chinese shop and he's not even coptic! :) hi, everyone else, can't comment on the lingo - way over my head!

http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/210 also try the hymn lyrics library here. best to search by time (annual/ feast etc) then by service (liturgy, vespers etc) and then you will find what you are looking for! this is the best website! ;)

salvation: (something i wrote in 2009 and saved to my computer as i was answering this question all the time!) Romans 5 verses 1 and 2: ‘Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom a…

as far as i know, we think that the most sure way to be saved is to be baptised as a Christian and a member of an orthodox church, regularly repenting of our sins to God and then confessing them to our priest and spiritual guide, who gives us really…

yeah, even we might not be saved if we do the wrong things and disrespect God.

so when exactly do we celebrate Christmas this year? (i mean using the international calendar) i want to see if i can take the day off work, but i need to know which one i am taking!

done! thanks maged :) looks like reporting ourselves worked! 8)

this is all good advice. also it's better to go through this decision making process now than in 10 years time when you realise you still hate medicine but u have a wife and 5 kids depending on your salary! i met lots of people who regretted becomin…

you have my vote too servant 33! also your posts are really sensible :)

really? i didn't realise it is 12th. but surely if it is a day later, there must be an extra day in nasi?

thanks! i thought about reporting one of you guys (for the same reason) but didn't want to upset anybody! :)

wow, great posts. i also had lots of problems in this area previously and this advice is all good. dc, these problems are related to your spiritual problems. when u feel far from God, nothing else will feel good. kick yrself in the butt and start pr…

it sounds like for you, any disagreement is a minor disaster. so maybe you could ask your fiancee for reassurance that disagreement doesn't mean hate or disrespect. as far as i can tell (after many years of marriage), the 'physical' side does not ma…

hi, how are u all? may God give u peace?
-
yeah, i almost feel sorry for satan that yet another Christian is heading out into the world with the good news of Jesus Christ, ready to proclaim, defend and share it with those he meets. together with the prayers of his friends, family and all the…

to simplify: it's best not to quote origen (unless you are writing an essay on the early church). it's better to refer to teachings of other writers who were less controversial, like saint athanasius, saint cyril (kyrollos) and, indeed, saint john c…
-
coptic user 20, yes, it is wrong to use the teachings of someone who is out of the church. you should rather quote church fathers we accept in our church or your own priest. severian, i have read the article you pointed me to, but i am confused by …

ok, i understand we shouldn't be chatting loudly about the price of beans, but i have to say that when i am in church i smile more than anywhere else. in fact people don't believe me when i say i get grumpy sometimes at work, they think i smile all …

in the 1990s, the romanian orthodox church started communing with oriental orthodox churches, following the second agreed statement by the patriarchs that we all agreed on orthodoxy. but the other eastern orthodox churches told them they had jumped …
