  • God is not male. both adam and eve were created in His likeness, so adam was not more like Him than eve. so God can take the place of our father and mother, and if you are in communion with God and walk and talk with Him, you certainly don't lack an…

  • i think surnames were invented long after adam! i used to think (when i was a little kid) that Jesus' surname was 'Christ', so when anyone referred to Him as 'Christ' they were being impolite and they should call Him 'Mr. Christ'! :D in some parts …

  • well, i thought macarena was a dance song. in fact i danced the 'macarena' with some spanish and french exchange students at a children's disco around the year 2000. it was very popular, but of course, i didn't understand the lyrics as they were in …
  • maybe u tired yrself out! we are capable of only a limited amount of emotion. when u r young u feel like u have an endless capacity for everything, but eventually u start to run out of energy or emotions. i mean u can't be passionate about everythin…
  • sometimes we need to reply to something, eg if it's something God has helped us with and we know how to deal with the situation. other times we need to humbly consider that other people may have a better answer than we do. if we reply sometimes but …

  • good point, jerusalem 2
  • i assume you mean the Holy water after mass, not water pistols in the summer when we are children! i think it's from psalm 50; 'cleanse me with hyssop and i will be clean' and symbolises that we have taken part in the Holy Body and Blood of our Lord…

  • very important points. we should all take note of them.
  • good point. this is why i don't invest in the stock market  ;)
  • i didn't find it in english, but this is the song in arabic. maybe, with the lyrics, you can work out how to put the english words to the tune. http://tasbeha.org/mp3/Songs/Arabic/Prayer.html but thanks so much for the bilingual lyrics! i was looki…

  • there are no PERMANENT physical side effects of masturbation. in the uk we grew up thinking it could make you go blind! it can't, nor does it do physical damage. it can do emotional damage, and this can lead to all sorts of symptoms, which can be tr…
  • when i watched it with my friend at the time (i don't remember discussing it here before), she thought it was a real apparition of the departed bishop. apparently people also could smell the incense (khoor) that came out of the coffin. neither of us…
  • my husband talks about the Bible continuously, it's brilliant! :) so God will guide you. for anyone who is thinking of marriage, the best preparation is to be as mature and as full of Jesus Christ as you can. then you are better trained to deal wit…

  • thanks a lot, that top one is what i need  :) will read it today insha-allah
  • cannabis is only useful in certain extreme medical conditions, eg. multiple sclerosis, and even here it's benefits have not been proven. most of the claims of the benefits of canabis have not been backed up by proper scientific trials.
  • i have a few points: 1. smoking is not good for inflammatory bowel disease. sometime the disease worsens at the time a smoker stops smoking, but overall it is not beneficial. 2. i have smoked a few times in the past  :o but it was me trying to fit i…
  • i agree 100% may God bring you light and hope :)
  • well done! great site. does anyone have anything about how to talk to nestorians? (i have a nestorian friend) i have read some of the translated works of the early church fathers on this, but they are very complicated and in old english. is there an…
  • alhamdulilah  :) glory to God in the highest. may God grant yr other requests, john, and give you the patience and peace and provisions as you wait. may God give peace to those suffering for the name of our Lord and Saviour and release to the capti…
  • may God have mercy and grant him peace and healing, and most importantly, spiritual health. may his family grow close to God and know His love.
  • in sha-allah more arabs are becoming Christian, so it's good to keep up with the beautiful language. it's always good to have another language to praise God in.
  • hey guys, don't get into an argument, i love u all. God accepts us all as we are, even me!  ;)
  • i think if u accept being called arabic, it helps u stand in solidarity with the other arab Christians from other arabic-speaking countries. i tell people (eg from english-speaking countries) that i study arabic at church in order to challenge peopl…
  • this is dodgy. we have the same problem in the uk. less than 5-10% population is gay but they are putting loads of pressure on people to teach their kids that it's ok for the kids to grow up gay. lots of kids/ teenagers get feelings towards someone …
  • time to start using the train! ;)
  • hmm, idealistic perhaps? (that's both of u!) ;)
  • hey i'm sorry i didn't mean it was really bad, i should have put more winking smileys coz u can't see my face. i really like u, ilovesaintmark. can we be friends again? :)
