Thank you both Κηφᾶς and Anglian for your great posts, and you are both right not one of us is going to go against the teachings of our own church but yet are in no authority to talk about any other church either. it is best to run the race with bli…

Nobody really knows when the actual birth of Christ was, whether it was on Dec. 25 or Jan 7 it doesn't matter. some say that it occured in spring, at this point it really does not matter when his birth was as long as we commemorate it.

those are not the levels of Heaven but the ranks in heaven and actually they go like this 1) God 2) St. Mary 3) Heavenly Hosts 4) Martyrs 5) Monastic Orders 6) Other Saints 7) The rest of us But that does not mean there are necesarily 7 ranks in he…

Do not doubt the power of prayer if i didn't believe in the power of prayer i would not be posting this, no matter who it comes from if it is from the heart God will hear it, you are in my prayers also

I agree with you on everything except changing the date because there is no real purpose too, and secondly you are talking about people in the lands of immigration having to take this day off on their own. in Egypt now its a Holiday that all christi…

Yes i agree with Κηφᾶς and Pope Kyrillos that it can take many years to convert or be baptized depending on each persons situation. whether you feel ready or not is not the issue but its whether the priest feels you are ready and not converting for …

Well we obviously don't believe in predestination, God knows where we are going but did not decide that for us. we did by our actions and us alone, just by him knowing does not mean he decided that for us. the problem with calvenism is that they bel…

Good explanation Iqbal, i had no idea that this came from our Ascetic fathers but was merely tradition, thank you for enlightening us with this information. much appreciated God Bless and Pray for me and weakness

I agree with you we definetely need to take out all the influences islam has had on the church, but that is a difficult task especially in egypt, where they are in constant contact with muslims but yeah i never believed in that nonsense i always jus…

I think its more of a tradition thing, i personally do it everytime i yawn but i'm not completely sure why, i think it is more or less on the belief that the devil can enter through your mouth as you said, but i've never heard people tell me "yer7am…

It will be easier to stay away from the traps and harms of this world but the monks and nuns go through a much more difficult path than any of us can imagine, they are tested very vigorously and face many hardships that are different than the hardsh…

The intercessions and prayers of the lady of us all the theotokos St. Mary, and the prayers of St. George the prince of martyrs and Philopateer Markorios, and Abba Mena of fayat, and Anba kyrollos be with you and your family

I don't think they have established one yet but you never know they might build one soon if they find many women want to become nuns
-
Because in our church we believe that once you become a monk or nun you are dead to the world and they actually do a funeral service for the new monk or nun(i'm talking a literal funeral service as if she was dead) and their purpose is not to help t…

I think more or less, the symbols(def) are very difficult to learn, as well as the triangle(trianto) because i can honestly say no two deacons play them the same, whether thats a good thing or not i don't know but it is very difficult, i personally …

I'm guessing that you live in Egypt, so i'm really not too surprised espicially since you had the windows open. so it could have been any muslim walking in the street. now the person who knew your name the only thing i can think of is that it was th…

here it is, http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=5357.0 i suggest you read through the whole topic to understand what was being discussed, i once had the same opinion as you guys but was thankfully corrected

Vassilios is right, we dont' partake of the divine nature saying that is quite heretical as saying that we have the actual Holy Spirit inside us (which we don't just the energies) i think we are mistaking here what we are talking about by saying we …

The actual liturgy itself does not change to a kiahky tune, just the hymns due (just the psalm and Gospel response and Psalm 150 really with changes to the words of other hymns for the season such as the Aspasmos adam and watos) but the actual litur…

Congratulations to him for this great service and to the church ofcourse for gaining a new priest to serve her

I don't think he's talking about the text but the audio the best recording I've heard is by anba demetrious for St basil and for St gregory wagdi bishara but he has not put them back on the website yet but when he does that will be the best recordin…
