lol welcome to my life. I have to put everything into song when it comes to memorization. I only passed History and Biology because of the numerous songs I came up with.
I am going to sing the Gospel of St. Mark.. there's no other way I can do it.
Wow! Thanks John_S2000!! I actually play a piano keyboard, an org.. this: http://www.musiciansbuy.com/mmMBCOM/images/yamaha_ypg235.jpg
That's what I meant the entire time, but I guess everyone misinterpreted :)
I love trying new things though. I'm…

Every day I am given a miracle. The miracle is a another day to repent, another day to come back to the Lord. But I, being stubborn as a mule and prideful as…
我聽說當聖經被翻譯成希臘文,父親站起來,並使用不同的筆寫神的名字。
Oh sorry, for those of you that don't speak Chinese, I said: I heard that when the Bible was being translated to Greek, the Fathers would stand up and use a different pen to write G…
The people who graduated from medical school have chicken scratch handwriting, and those currently in medical school are taking courses on how to write in chicken scratch. The rest of us haven't used writing utensils since second grade, because we n…
Yes, they have the hymns memorized by heart. By hymns, I also mean the long melismatic ones that take 12 minutes to sing. To "know" a hymn is to sing all the notes correctly. I will refrain from making a judgmental comment right now, and leave my la…
There has been an INCLINE from a Golden Age. I don't even know when the Golden Age was, but if we had one, the hymn-knowing amount of youth has at least tripled since then. It's a lot easier to learn hymns and have access to them with lessons and re…
The one thing youth (and if you created a poll, you'll see that it's about 85-90% of youth) memorize is alhan. Memory verses in sunday school was back when I was kid... like 2 years ago. I can't speak for the majority of the churches, but mine doesn…
Now, if it were a BLACKBERRY, I don't think anyone would have any problems.
Zoxsasi,
I reeeeally want to turn this around and call youuuu a fanatic, but I'm going to act mature, take a deep breath, and ask you to forgive me for being "illogical, …
Next time you post a question, also post the answer you want to hear. We'll be sure to copy and paste it as our response instead of stating our opinions.
I don't think you understand the meaning of a forum. You're not always going to hear what you…
I think we're still waiting for Father Peter's response. I'm not sure, but I found this by Bishop Youssef:
The Second Canon of St. Dionysius, the thirteenth Archbishop of Alexandria, and student of Origen who lived, in the mid-third Century states:…
I just read Fr. Peter's response. I agree with every word. I'd like to re-quote his entire post, just to make it clear that we have the same opinion:
A Bible is a sacred and holy object. It is sanctified by prayer and devotion. Many people will nev…
AM I PLAYING GAMES ON MY PHONE IN CHURCH!!!!
Did i not use the same iPhone app to tell someone something from the Bible that was good for him!???
Is that NOT a good example!!!!!!
How do the children know you're not using it to play games or text? Wh…
I'm sorry Thoxsasi.
But other people pointed out that your leading an example in church, so I still think you should bring your Bible from home.. and I guess use the app when you're reading alone at home.
It's just a strange thought for me how we…
ilovesaintmark suggested that you bring your Bible from home. Or do you also use an app at home? Do you use an app when praying from the agpeya? How about when you do matanias.. does an app count them for you? And when you sing Kyrie Eleison, is the…
Can you post your translation of that verse?
By the way, I'm not sure what your denomination is, but New King James is the only translation accepted by the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Gay4XC,
How would you interpret this verse: "Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites." 1 Cor 6:9-10
