I am no position to give advice really. But I will humbly offer the little that came to my mind when I read your post. First off, I really feel your pain. Loving someone and not feeling the same love back hurts deeply. But in my opinion it is time…

Response to TITL: Because if deep down your desire is to be something opposite to your nature then you do not have complete trust that God has done what is best for you. I did not think I would even have to explain the reason behind this. It should …

There is nothing wrong with being a "tomboy." But thinking from inside that you want to be a boy is not right. You don't have to be a boy to play sports or wear jeans. God made you a girl for a reason, don't suppress that part of yourself. God Ble…

Put your five loaves and two fish into the hands of God, he will bless your efforts and eventually the hymns will become second nature to you. Welcome to the Church! ;D

That type of reasoning and logic is exactly why people do not fast seriously. If we tell ourselves that food has nothing to do with fasting and it is all about the heart and fasting from temptation, than why do we have this strict diet during the fa…

Maybe Tzegemariam feels that she should not tell people she is fasting because it will make them feel bad or that she only wants God to know and does not want the earthly reward of men. I have similarly lied when asked about fasting because I did no…

Ayman, that would be great if you can post them somewhere that we can download them as mp3s because I live in America and have no way of getting these priceless recordings. Thank you and God bless you.

Andrew, I do not even know you yet I know you are not a failure, because no one in God's eyes is a failure. But what is it that makes you think you are a failure? Answering this question can help everyone here give you advice and pray for you. Rab…

I don't know who your audience is but this is going to be a hard argument to convince people of. But my argument stems from St. Thomas Aquinas and other philosophers on the impermissibility if homosexuality. 1) Every human organ has specific functio…

Why would HH Pope Shenouda remove HG Bishop Youannes as General Secretary after hearing that St. Mary appeared to him?
-
God Bless you jshouk! These are beautiful recordings...just out of curiosity how did you get these recordings?
-
Your friend definitely made a major mistake in partaking of the Holy of Holies without being part of the Church...But who am I to judge? The catechumens of the old church were not even allowed to stay after the Liturgy of the Word was over. They "gr…

you can actually upload them on a site such as megaupload.com and give is the link to download it...but as for uploading it on the tasbeha site I am not sure.
-
Someone please help this MAN upload whatever he has...Abouna Anastasi's recordings are priceless! I wish I could help but I don't know how to upload.
-
Hey man you have a serious talent...very well done. There are not many people who tell stories through icons. I am just curious how does anyone know how these saints actually looked like? I heard stories which sound exaggerated about St. Moses the B…

Dear gergesezzat, thanks for the link to Ondos...this is awesome, I never knew Ibrahim Ayad put his classes online. Is there any way you can find me more classes he has? That would be a great help. God bless you.

How do you download Ondos from the website? Also is there anyway to make it into English?

I disagree think of a time you went to the monastery or something and spent time there with peaceful and loving monks and you talked with them and they showed you love, etc. and it was heaven on earth. Now it would be nonsensical to imagine someone …

Why would any angel want to leave the presence of God or even think a sinful thought or have pride? It just doesn't make sense to me. If we are in heaven with God Almighty and are praising Him and heaven is a place of joy indescribable how does prid…

I live in California and have been to the St. Antony Monastery here several times and every time I go it gets harder to leave. All the monasteries are great, so it should just be about convenience for you...which one is closest to you?

We all sin, make mistakes, and stray from the faith...WELCOME TO THE CLUB. But do not be discouraged. Christ is forgiving and compassionate, never think that he will not forgive you. God loves us more than we know or understand. I am no expert on fi…

From experiences at my church altar service is beginning to be taken too lightly. There are about 8 deacons in the altar every sunday. Five of them are below 11 years old. They all want to say a response and do things and the truth is they are not r…
-
From what I know and here in the Southern California, Bishop Serapion has made it a rule that all deacons should wear tonias with crosses on the front and back and no saints icons. I believe this is because the tonias with saints on them has become …

Church liturgies do not always seem to be the most heavenly environments. As many of you described there are babies crying, people talking, deacons with bad voices, loud cymbals, etc. There has been a great decrease in the respect and awe of the Hol…

We have twenty four hours in a day and if we honestly think about it that is a lot of time. Yet most of us waste that time doing nothing of much value. Unfortunately most of us, myself being the first, do not have our priorities straight. Christ sho…

These are links for two different sermons on creation. The first http://www.orthodoxsermons.org/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=196&Itemid=26 and the second is http://www.orthodoxsermons.org/index.php?option=com_docman&…

I am no expert in language, but from what I know the Jehovah's witnesses are not consistent with their translations. The same word in greek for God is used in John 1:1, yet they changed it to "a god" to fit their heresies. Bottom line, all scholars …

is there any way to download it?

Just out of curiosity why don't you want to go to prom? I mean there is nothing wrong with that, but you shouldn't make up an excuse of lie to you friends at school. Just tell them why you don't want to go. I didn't go because the ticket was 100 dol…

As a response to you first question a) If Christ came to die to give us eternal life, why did He pray that this be taken away from Him? God is the Holy of Holies, He is purity, love, perfection, and is without spot, etc. For us to receive salvati…
