  • thanks for your really quick replies Godislove 260  :) i would like to speak to the bishop, but this is my bishop: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=7859.msg102161#new like he's really really sick right now and i don't want to b…
  • ok, sorry for being totally ignorant, but what church is it they won't give us back? and do all coptic churches think like this? coz i met some copts (not in my church but another one) who openly went to israel, i think it was recently. i mean, i …

  • i am only a cousin in this respect... ;) but, seriously, women tend to show more emotion (not to feel more emotion) and north africans are also emotional types. british people are particularly bad at it (except me, maybe i should check out my famil…
  • UPDATE this report was released yesterday http://www.hrw.org/en/news/2009/04/16/eritrea-repression-creating-human-rights-crisis basically the situation is getting worse and most of the population is suffering. lets keep praying. He that is in us…
  • hi brother, please visit my topic and tell me if you have any opinion or questions http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=7575.0 may God bless you, enjoy the site  :)
  • some of us love our priests very very much, both our FOC and the other priests we know  :)
  • if you really like rock and hip hop and you can't find any of this music with edifying lyrics, then go out and write some which praises God. maybe you won't become famous overnight, but you'll have something better on your ipod. psalm 95 (96) says '…
  • full of love and forgiveness (1 corinthians 13) and empty of sin.
  • i thought so. i have read about deaconesses but i couldn't remember the reference, that's why i didn't post earlier. i think, though they have to be celibate (like monks). other orthodox denominations definately have deaconesses and they are there i…

  • PLANNING FOR MAY 24 Hi, please ask all your churches in all the world to pray on May 24th. In addition to the information above, there are these resources available from release international. http://www.releaseinternational.org/pages/take-action…
  • well, some of us think it's the church that needs to change here. these women need help and compassion, not a quick, socially appropriate answer. like, if the woman has trouble getting married, people in church should provide free child care while …
  • excellent posts, boricua and marianne. i would like to add that it is God who forgives sins (the apostles/bishops/priests are channels) see luke 5:21 - the significance of Jesus saying so on so many occasions 'your sins are forgiven' was to show tha…
  • mmm... one of the things qt mentioned was making the woman marry the man who raped her. i can't see how that could be right.
  • qt, that sounds worrying. i hope God will give you the courage to say something to the bishop if you see a similar situation again.
  • i agree with the anti-abortion arguments above. as a (female) medical doctor i have had several experiences when women who have had abortions many years ago (20 years ago in 1 case) have just started crying when asked about operations they have had …
  • hi rpm, thanks for sharing with us. i didn't see your previous post, as i sometimes have times when i don't open the tasbeha website so often. partly because i work too many hours, and partly because i want to spend more time with my husband  ;) i r…
  • hi mahraeel, good to 'see' you  :) i saw this entry on another topic so i am quoting it here in case you missed it: [quote author=grace08 link=topic=7779.msg101771#msg101771 date=1239589480] Great sermon about the true meaning of fasting http://ww…
  • please also see this thread: Tasbeha.org Community > General Category > Personal Issues > Biggest Sinner ... is there hope? as there is a lot of good stuff there. start with reminding yourself why it might be better to hang out with God tha…
  • this is not a direct answer, but something i read in a coptic bookshop about the coptic church's answer to charismatic manifestations like you describe. the book said that as the coptic church never went away from the work of the Holy Spirit and His…
  • yeah, what i have seen fits with what jydeacon has said. if you are repenting of your sins every day to God, you only need to confess once every few weeks or less. unless, of course, you have stolen something, been fornicating or have some other hea…
  • i agree with user00 the confessions of st augustine are cool, i haven't finished them yet. his life story is here http://www.staugustinecc.com/life_of_st_augustine.htm and on lots of other sites he lived in 300s, he had a Christian mum and a pagan d…
  • start going to church too. if u r not ready to take communion etc, just go and don't take it, and if anyone bugs you just tell them 'i have some things on my mind and just need to pray about it and i'll take communion soon'. i have seen lots of peop…
  • i learnt a lot from father peter's post, thank you again  :) i want to clarify something, though, mainly for the ladies, although it may apply to some of the gents too. i think (and  have not found anything so far in scripture to support this nor …
  • lent is a good time for anyone who feels far from God to draw near. james 4 verse 8 says 'draw near to God and he will draw near to you' start by reading the Bible, there are readings for the day on this website if you don't know where to start. we…
