i was about to congratulate u on yr 9 min mile (i would like to run that fast) but i realised that u were saying that's not very fast! ;D it takes me 20 mins to cycle the 2 miles to church, my excuse is most of the journey is one really massive hil…

father peter, please say hi to pope benedict from me. ;) seriously though, i will be with u all in prayer, i am very glad u are going, may God guide u, as always.

may God bless u. remember even if u are far from a church God can guide u. i am travelling now but heard some lovely words of wisdom in a nearby catholic church that i 'accidently' walked past before the service started. so love God, live to please …

go to any topic u want to write on, and at the bottom of the last post there is a button 'reply'. press that to write a reply. u already started a new topic so it looks like u know how to do that. anything special u tried to do and can't? let us kno…

a summary of isaiah 19 for those who couldn't read it: Isaiah 19 Abouna Tadros Yacoub Malaty Section 1. The Holy Family. v1. ‘See the Lord rides on a swift cloud’. This is ‘light swift cloud’ in the septugaint version. Saint Cyril the Great says t…

very good comparison :)
-
this is very true. maybe it's a fake, maybe it's a work of the devil, either way, it is dangerous and not useful, even just to laugh at it. this is something similar i wrote recently: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=9722.0 are …

yes. http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/476 i saw (read on internet) the ethiopian/eritrean liturgy recently and also noticed we have many similarities. i hope i will experience it soon :)

it's page 163. google books usually doesn't let u see all the pages. sometimes it helps to try again another time. that's so people don't stop buying books. ;D

black magic, white magic, any sort of fortune telling (tea leaves etc) and using the 'evil eye' are all haram, forbidden. this is because they are very harmful. when God does something supernatural like a miracle, it is to the glory of His name. He…

i thought maybe he cancelled it coz people like us were upset! turned out he had some visits from the fbi. should have realised it wasn't just us! ;)

may God guide you and help you. about Holy Communion, it is not God who prevents us from taking it, it is our enemy who whispers in our ear that we are not worthy. of course we are not worthy, that is why our Lord Jesus had to die for us. we just ha…

it's easy to assume that prayers that are written down are not from the heart, especially if you live in a culture that does not value learning by repetition. in fact, learning prayers and Bible passages is very valuable. we should all do this, then…

some people are just too clever! but what we have to realise is that God expects them to give their minds and abilities to Him, and He has work for them, the same as for ordinary people. so don't be jealous of them, they won't have it easy. so, geom…

thank you for sharing with us, may God guide you in your journey. i pray you will find people to talk to about God as you travel. it is as we share with others that God leads us to greater riches. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus said, 'go into all the wo…

it's a really tough issue. but whatever God allows in yr life, He allows for a reason, so if u can't partake of Holy Communion for one of these reasons, but accept God's will and accept the judgement of the leaders He has given us, then you will hav…

i think chief of sinners was asking about a sperm discharge, not a female priest having a monthly period. of course, not having intercourse the day before communion helps, and i think (i am a woman so not sure!) that men get less spontaneous dischar…
-
it's quite a big topic. in fact it has been discussed for at least 1500 years and was the focus of some disagreement between the different orthodox churches. to summarise 1500 years of the discussion of great teachers and martyrs of the faith, (sorr…

non-human plurals (male and female) are given feminine singular adjectives in formal arabic. sorry i don't know why! about the tanwin, i think there are certain words which need the tanwin after them. my book says eg.s are 'laysa' and 'kaan'. eg. 'i…

it's a really big question. there is so much to say about saint mary we don't know where to start. we consider her the most amazing saint because she carried our Lord the Son of God in her womb, and she allowed God to do His will with her, even thou…
-
yeah, saint mary was like 'um, i know about men and women and making babies and can't work it out how it can be done' (the actual quote is 'how can this be?') and zachariah was 'yeah, right, i don't really think so, so u better give me some kind of …

'from the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks' so, you have exposed yr lack of 100% pure heart (u are like me!). but u have not hurt the gadget's feelings. so u need only to apologise to God, not to the gadget! ;) if u had been our father anba …

don't worry, california will probably ;) remain until the earth and the seas are rolled up like a scroll and we meet each other in the new jerusalem. may God have mercy on us all and prepare us for the day of His coming.
-
good answer. God looks at the heart of each person and knows all our reasons for what we do. He is merciful and just. psalm 116 (114 in septugaint version) says 'i love the Lord for He heard my voice, He heard my cry for mercy' and later it says 't…
-
i have read them both. i did not find them similar. the qu'ran was like a list of things to do and not to do, with lots of contradictions, eg saying you should befriend the 'people of the book' and then in another place that they are destined for sl…

in daniel 7:25 there is a prophecy about a 'king' oppressing the saints for a 'time, times and half a time' and most sermons i have heard explain that in the end times there will be a specially difficult time of persecution. no-one knows how long th…

i think that entry is spam, advertising. i have reported it. certainly don't watch any movies about this!
