ok u guys need to go to a pathology museum and see the bodies of fetuses preserved in bottles and look how human they are even from very early in the womb. (even if u think that's gross, i think it's more gross to kill them). also no-one mentioned a…

i don't know this story but u i do know Jesus told the disciples to forgive '70 times 7' times, so if God asks us to keep on forgiving, He obviously does the same. you need practical help, get a friend to stop you from meeting this person, so you ar…

the correct arabic (as used by Christians) is 'allah, huwa al akbar'. the common muslim phrase 'allah akbar' is not quite right grammatically, but is what was said by mohammed, so the muslims say this and the Christians don't. i like mozes' post, it…

like i said, we can't really tell people who are not Christian what to do, but we can tell them our way is better. if you are not sure that it is better, discuss this with some older and wiser Christians and ask them to explain their opinions. about…

good question, lets discuss this like adults, don't just tell the poor guy he's not a Christian when we don't know him, lets step back, take a deep breath and say, ok, we think this is strange and we don't think the way you do, but what's your story…

only if they haven't confessed. it's wrong if you consider your sin is not important and think you can take communion anyway as it doesn't matter. it does matter a lot, so if you sinned by stealing, immorality etc, you should confess before a priest…

thanks for answering, minagir :) this is a good link for info www.orthodoxunity.org

should gay people be able to go to work without being laughed at and harassed? of course. should we be their friends and let them see our way of living? yes. should they adopt kids? i don't think so, there are lots of studies (mostly not done by Chr…

we will pray, may God have mercy.

we say Allah when we pray in arabic, we say Efnouti when we pray in coptic, we say Theos when we pray in greek and God when we pray in english. when we will be smart enought to pray in amharic, we will say Ezgiabher! God relates to everyone in all t…

wow, that's so nice, thank you for his life story. many happy returns on abba nofer's feast day (wa antum tayyib) :)

it's a nice song. i like the idea of a chorus (seek His righteousness), then everyone can sing along, instead of just one line. can u give me link to his life story?

we are praying for her. it's good for you to listen to her and help her with her troubles. remember also to spend time in church, pray and read the Bible to ensure you are close to God and then you are close to the one who can give her hope. the peo…

unless u look on your profile, where you have written it! ;) i will send you some ta'amiya if we are ever in the same country... i'm fairly old (>30), i think the others are a little younger, but still very mature.
-
i know, i made falafel but they wanted nice soft ta'ameya with a crispy outside, not some dodgy lebanese stuff from a packet mix ;)
-
ma'alish, we all have weaknesses, just keep logging into tasbeha.org, and our stories will eventually come out ;) i feel the same when i think of some of my posts! don't worry, we'll probably never meet, if we do, i'm the small crazy one who makes …

if your best friend left you, you would remember the good times and try to win him/her back. so do the same with God. He hasn't left you, more likely you have gone far from Him, but go to church, ask lots of questions, watch tv programmes about God,…
-
yup, i agree with theophilus1. although you could also pray for the Christians in the area to use the opportunity to talk about their faith and you could ask God to give you opportunities to discuss these issues with your friends who are not Christ…

hi, bride of Jesus, a few answers: 1. i mean imagine u r a priest who is single and available, you are looking for a wife in church, and you are surrounded by adoring young women who admire your study and commitment to God and who like to listen to …
-
i agree with gman. i have 2 points, 1. our coptic fathers were REALLY smart when they made the rule that you MUST be married to be a priest, or a monk. also priests are NEVER allowed to marry again if their wife dies. this makes sure that no abouna …
-
a better question is, should you bring sport in religion?! God is in all our lives, the tv we want, the algerians whose tears we wipe away ;) and all our conversations, so we should acknowledge Him and His will for us. we can be humble and say, may…

any of bishop angaelos' sermons are useful; here is the only one i can find that you can read as opposed to listen to: 'fiery youth' http://www.coptichymns.net/module-library-viewpub-tid-1-pid-642.html all the others need to be downloaded (maybe u …

sounds great, keep us posted :)

hi chris! u know u r already welcome :) do u play piano, guitar and saxaphone all at once? ??? ;)

we are praying. especially that the robbers will repent and look at the lovely things from the church and ask themselves difficult questions about life.
-
just saw it. not as rubbish as i expected, but there is a lot of mass destruction and people dying violently. it has a few strong messages, the main one being that all religions are basically the same and that we just need to all be nice to each oth…

welcome, eddie. how long have you been in usa? i know lots of nice iraqi people, may God bless you.
-
i think you can start fasting from 9 hours before, especially if you are on a night shift and so not going to bed before communion.
-
the orthodox study Bible is excellent, the only risk is that you can't stop reading it! I know some priests (coptic) who have it and they also recommend it, and they list some orthodox denominations on the inside back cover, which includes coptic al…

sorry, no time now as 1/2 asleep, but God really knows best, He is better than abouna ;) so, leave it in His hands, go to church, attend extra meetings, make friends, and you will come into contact with other single people in a group environment, w…
