At the same time do not use your sickness as an excuse not to fast. Nobody ever died of fasting while they were sick...and how much more does it mean to fast for Christ while…
I agree 100% with PopeKyrillos if you find that money it could belong to someone who needs it much more than you do. so the best thing to do is either give to an admin or someone of authority or if not possible put in the donation at church and God …
It depends on what the item is, but in a general sense if they ask you for something you should give it to them. Mt 5:40-42 says "If anyone wants to sue you and take away your tunic let him have your cloak also. And whoever compels you to go one mil…
First thing is as Regretful+Sinner said you should talk to your FOC about that. Second, my FOC told me that when you get sick and take it in thanksgiving during a fasting time and you are forced to break the fast God will accept your sickness as you…
I have one by him in english for the gregorian liturgy(the same one with the recording of pimairomi in the onishty tune in english) but i don't know how i would give it to you since it poses the same problem. PM and we can try to figure something ou…
Actually to a certain extent the pattern for the cymbols and the triangle are the same tempo wise(to be played at the same speed as each other) but each has its own beat and pattern. they can be played with the same pattern together but generally th…
The triangles are in fact much easier to learn than the symbols. Just keep it at, it most definetly won't happen over night that you become an expert it takes practice. ask the person who was teaching you to go through it again and maybe more slowly…

His servant is correct, they can not be canonized until 50 years after their departure even though we all know HH was a saint he won't be in the commemoration for another couple years maybe
Yeah i agree it would have been great if we had our own bible just for us copts even if it did take a long time but i still hold faithful to this book for now. they did a great job and God Bless them and the service they have provided.
After your post i went back and i did check on it. you are right that the chapters don't correspond and some verses are missing but this is the most accurate translation of the OT(as a whole that is including the duetrocanical books). you could alwa…
What major issue do you hear from them? i go to coptichymns.net as well and i didn't see any major issues. I myself have one and the only problem i have with it, is the unusual order to the OT and not having christs words in red in the NT. Obviously…
You would be allowed to convert if you are divorced, i have never heard that you won't get accepted because of that. but as everyone said not if its just for this girl. you need to go talk to the priest of the church, he can help you more than anyo…
There is the New Orthodox Study Bible that just came out which is the Full Complete Bible with all of the books that were taken out by the protestants. I just recieved mine and am quite pleased with it, some things i don't like but overall i highly …
Just because we are strong in our faith does not mean we won't get sick or get a disease or something. God puts those hardships in our lives on purpose so that we can get closer to him. Can you honestly say that if you did not get sick you would be…

That verse you mentions does not mean that there are two different sins but saying that if you see your brother sinning and repenting than it will be good for you to help him, but if he is not repenting stay away so that you are not pulled into the …
