i think that is what he is asking. i'm not saying if anyone falls in love with an older person it is emotionally unstable. but if you have feelings for someone who was married to your deceased mum, maybe it's to do with grief and lack of maturity. …

my story is very long. i wrote it down yesterday and it came to 2 sides of paper! so send a person message if you want the full story but basically, i was looking for a deeper understanding of God and His love and i found it :)

try some of these ideas http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=8954.msg112033#msg112033 may God give you peace, and pray for me too, a sinner.

me too.

sorry that should be leviticus 18 verse 8. the computer uses the symbols : and 8 and ) to make the sunglasses smiley!

yes, believing in Jesus was living water for her. the bread of life passage is meant to be taken literally, referring to the Holy Communion. some protestants take it figuratively, but when Jesus emphasised that 'my body is food INDEED and my blood i…

in the jewish laws (leviticus 18:8), a man may not take his father's wife. this assumes she was not his mother, and it would also apply to a woman taking her mother;s husband. there are several laws (eg about food) that Jesus clearly showed do not a…

hi tamoura. the bad apple is not from the Bible, as superman pointed out. but saint paul writes in 1 corinthians about people who are a bad influence affecting others like a little yeast works through a large amount of dough (the stuff that becomes …

so, abanoub, maybe its up to us to make the church more of a paradise ;) maybe you could discuss this with some like-minded friends, stay in church for 20mins after mass and sing some taraneem, learn tasbeha, ask abouna or a church servant for Bibl…

yup. sounds gross but there were no other women on the planet, so he was limited for choice!

thanks for sharing that. we should find people who are a good influence and hang out with them, and then we can influence the people who are a bad influence. we have a retreat island. it's called church! although even then we should take care to no…

i agree with all this great posts :) we should do all the stuff to be closer to God, but sometimes we find despite doing everything 'right' we still feel down and we feel we are not trusting God. this is when we should think of the words of ephesia…

the sacrifice of our Saviour, Jesus Christ was the fulfilment of the OT sacrifices of animals. in the OT, the jews had to eat the sacrifices. some of them got burnt up completely, but mostly they ate them. i don't know if this is a good link, but it…

there are still nearly 3 weeks till the resurrection feast! start by visiting all the links above (ok, some of them will do!) and read the Bible readings for each day. draw near to God and He will draw near to you :)

sorry, meant to send pm

they have to still wear the priestly garments (black robe) so deep water is not recommended! some priests have a short-sleeved robe, like to use as pyjamas. i don't know if they can wear that instead. i didn't go swimming with a priest yet!

memorise parts of the Bible (eg verses from psalms in agpeya), cook dinner for your parents or your flatmates, study Christian history and the eccumenical councils, avoid gossip and reading celebrity magazines, instead discuss the Bible readings of …

i don't think he's saying that, he's saying, like you, that the concept is not logical, as God isn't limited by human shape or strength. we all know he moved that mountain in egypt (was it mount motakam?), and no doubt others as well :)
-
psalm 151 is absent from protestant and catholic Bibles. it's one of the few parts that are not in the catholic Bible, otherwise the catholic and orthodox Bibles are nearly the same. the protestants don't have: tobit judith wisdom of solomon ecclesi…

kirolies, you shouldn't feel bad, like it was your fault you slipped! little kids are always falling and knocking things over and breaking things, it's because God has designed them to have an immature nervous system at that time. the same God who h…

thanks so much, that's what i was looking for. i need to read again the book of revelation, i think. may God fill your lives this fast with more of His wisdom. if anyone else has any other points, please also contribute :)
-
the authors of this philosophy are trying to describe an infinate being by using finate terms. this is not wise. i like the quote of pope shenouda in omelnour's post, you see, we can waste a lot of time discussing it, when we could focus on our sal…

in oriental orthodox churches (eg coptic), you can throw them out or shred them (as far as i know). in eastern orthodox churches, they put them in the 'holy trash' and the priest burns them and puts the ashes somewhere in the church gardens. that's …

thank you so much for all those resources, and i apologise for hijacking this thread to talk about tasbeha! God is good, He even makes praising Him a beautiful experience.
-
thanks so much user00, that's exactly what i was looking for, i know the order differs, i just wanted a structure in my head to help me learn it, without a structure i was a bit overwhelmed by the length of the tasbeha, the three languages (in our c…

you're welcome, and it sounds like u have your priorities right! if yr still single at 39, p.m. me, i have some great Christian friends ;)

mozes, i checked this one on the internet, as i thought it was written by saint francis of assissi. it's not by him, nor by saint augustine, but by a 20th century american protestant pastor called Reinhold Neibuhr, best link is here: http://www.the…

my 39 year old friend had a great approach when asked in front of a crowd in asia about his singleness, he said 'i don't know why i'm single, isn't it shocking that a nice guy like me isn't married yet! well, i shall have to look into it and see wha…

its great to hear stories of God's goodness. He is amazing. geomike, i recognise that verse u posted from tasbeha, can you tell us which one it is? there are loads of tasbeha verses in the hymns lyrics library on this site, but i am finding it hard…
