That is also because our Lord said, those who live by the sword shall die by the sword, which has been held true for him and many many other martyrs who actually served in the army and took others lives.
This is a difficult situation to advize on and its not easy to even help them with. I suggest you talk to them and let them know you are there for them and if they ever need anything from you that you will do your best to help them in whatever you c…

Hisservant, you must realize that if this hymn is one hour that it must have many melisma, therefore if nobody is paying attention regardless of the language they will not comprehend it, Thats what is so great about Holy Week hymns, they are long an…
There is no such thing as too late? What are you 50? I know you aren't, nothing is holding your back except yourself, put an effort and you will get it. It is not that difficult, it just takes dedication, if you don't have it then you will not learn…

one word. LAZINESS. If you are too lazy to do what JY said a few posts back and READ THE TRANSLATIO…
I didn't expect an essay response, it took me forever to read it(considering i have almost no time to use the internet). Regardless i didn't do this post to mention that.
All of what you're saying is valid but a bit misplaced. I agreed with you in…

JY,
There is another alternative.
That is arabic.
Its easier to improve one's arabic than it is to improve one's Coptic, even though arabic is harder, its more accessible, …
I agree with you QT (surprising is it not haha). Thats why you have to read the translation and memorize that FIRST. if you just know it and what not then you lose the meaning of the hymn. Or you can go the other way. You memorize the hymn and maste…

There really is no such thing as an easy hymn. They all take practice, its great you got some annual hymns down but there are a lot of annual hymns that aren't that easy either. The next step is to push yourself to learn these hard hymns. cause the …
They are for sure not perfect, they are still with blemish and carry a corrupt nature. Whether they go to heaven to us is irrelevant, this is God's discision and whatever he does is fair. He will not punish a baby for nothing. I've always heard that…
I don't know all of them but i can name a few,
Armenian Orthodox(might be wrong about this one)
Syrian Orthodox
Eritrian Orthodox
Ethiopian Orthodox
Indian Orthodox
British and French orthodox fall under our Pope
I think there are more but i don'…
Just something I would like to add is that, the baby is not restricted at all from the baptism, its the mother who is. Babies who might die after birth are taken to be baptized right away so that if they do pass away they are ok and were baptized. T…
Oh I'm sorry I worded my post wrong I meant to say that monasteries in egypt don't allow girls and nunneries do(with permission by parents and priest) sorry for the mixup
The monastery in Texas allows girls to stay if they are accompanied by a priest but in Egypt I believe its not allowed regardless for nunneries I believe girls can spend time there(as in spend the night)with parents or priest permission( not complet…
Hey godislove, how are you? Good I hope. I think that you being uneasy could very well be a sign from God that this could be the wrong career path for you, you know yourself better than anyone else so nobody can truley tell you what to do. I went th…
Most children name books have explanaitions of what the names mean. I used to have one but is probably long gone now. I'm sure you could look it up online.
