Hi everyone, sorry am abroad, little internet time so will be brief. yes Dgorgy61, thats exactly what i meant. i am referring to James 5:61, confess your sins to one another. i do confess to my priest, it is very important to me. God bless you all
-
sure, minagir, i'm trying to explain it to the non-orthodox so they see it what way it's valuable. God bless u

yeah, this is the presence of God. this is what Jesus mean in john 14 and 15 (see agpeya 3rd hour) talk to God more, trust in the saving death and resurrection of Jesus, confess your sins and pray and study the Bible and serve God by being kind and …

hey, I'm glad you don't have to confess ALL your sins, i would need my own private full-time priest! ;-) I think it's good to confess the main ones, like ' i am impatient' (and maybe give an example) rather than listing all the 25 people you've been…

thanks, coptmorous, i realised after i wrote my post that 'bent' is what i would write as 'bint', that's why i was confused. my textbook transliterates differently to most egyptians :) God bless u all

anytime, bentBABAyasooa'! btw, what does your name mean? rabina yibarak :)

i saw the documentary, this anglican priest was going through a time of doubt, he even went to other religions to see if they had the answer (those episodes were aired separately, i didn't see them) but then he saved the best for last (!) and went t…

i learnt arabic in order to communicate better with arabs (there are 200million who speak it as first language, so i won't run out of people to talk to!) from a white british person ;)

i agree with hezekiel and mikeforjesus :)

Hi guys, the enoch quoted by jude is the one in genesis in the list of the ancient people who lived to very old ages. he was taken up to heaven directly by God and didn't die. i think if we read the main books (the ones everyone agrees on) and follo…

Yes they are an eccumenical group website: http://www.mec-churches.org In arabic 'maglis kana-is is sharq al owsat' i don't know much about them but they seem to be cool :-)

salaam brothers and sisters. I get where you're coming from as I also have friends who have converted to Christianity and they have suffered a lot. For example some of my friends can't go back to their home country because its too dangerous. There a…

hi, back to the original topic ;) it's really hard when you have to see someone regularly who dislikes you. I have had jobs where my boss hated me but i had to see him every day for 6 months! this kind of suffering really does make us closer to Jes…

Hi young deacons and other young people! First i want to say that in these forums I've been really impressed with some of the deep theological discussions some young people are having, so whether you're a deacon or not, keep learning the Bible and h…

oops, sorry on the transubstantiation, from what u said it looks like only Catholics use this name. i stand corrected... :)
-
Many people simply don't understand about Jesus' body and blood being more than symbols. Many protestants think (like I used to think) that believing in transubstantiation means that the bread and wine become little pieces of meat and blood, in a pu…

Praying for u both, LondonCopt and Hailemikael. Please all pray for me too as I'm about to start 4 long days (13 hours) in a v busy job and want not to collapse! :-) rabina ma'akum kull

Praying. May u meet good Christian people. Some of us do work in hospitals! :)

Hello and welcome, this is one of my favourite subjects, but rather than tire my fingers, I have rather shamelessly copied the following material from the website of the British Orthodox church. This is a numerically small (compared to the Greek, Co…
-
Yeah, this bothers me as well. Most of my Christian friends are Protestants so they turn to me when they see Orthodox Christians brawling and it embarrasses me very much. My friend told me about this today on the phone, all I can say is I went to th…

salaam bil masih ya vanessa, you can be sure lots of people are praying for you. This is a true story of a friend of mine: I have a friend whose parents got divorced because his mum ran off with another man. Before that she used to go to church and …
-
Wow, what a great question! I have thought about this a lot (many years) and discussed it now with other Christians in order to write to you something about it. I think that this passage is talking about those who are sure of the truth of Jesus' de…
-
I think if u generally keep close to God (prayer, reading Bible, church, Agpeya, avoiding drunkenness, gossip, meanness etc) and if you ask God for guidance, He will show you. In some situations, it will be important to avoid hugging (he'll get wron…

wow i just touched the screen on yr post to shake hands with u! ;-)

I had a similar problem last year when I started spending more time with my arab friends (I'm european), and most of them are Coptic or Muslim and then I met my friend in the supermarket with his brother and sister in law and I kissed the woman on b…
-
so why is the 11th hour prayed at 9pm and not 5pm? Is there a time warp between the 9th and 11th hours where 2 hours becomes a long sunny evening? :-)
-
The gay people I have met have mainly had terrible stuff happen to them, often in childhood. So, yes, it is wrong to do it, however I think the best way to connect with them is through friendship and through showing them a different way to live, not…

I was discussing this yesterday with my spiritual father, he said just pray a little each day, reading the psalms strengthens our spirits. Its also important to read the Bible, so each one should do what he/she can. What matters are our motives and …

The verse I was looking for before was Isaiah 43 v 2 When you walk through the waters, I (God) will be there. May He encourage you and all who have a hard time :)

Hi QT PA 2T, I appreciate your point, and maybe in some places the state schools are just too bad. Maybe we need both in order to have a full Christian witness. By the way, what does your screen name mean? Is it something in abbreviated coptic?
