i try to say with saint paul: 'i have learned in whatever state i am to be content; i know how to be abased, and i know how to abound. everywhere and in all things i have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.' …

salvation is a process. we have been saved in baptism, we are being saved through faith and God's grace, and we will be saved and go to paradise with Jesus if we continue in our faith to the end. if you study, it is good for you. you can use your s…

[quote author=mikeforjesus link=topic=14587.msg165937#msg165937 date=1379097393] it is more to do with seeking God not the saint and the saint asking God to draw us closer to Him by his life can anyone else say something? faith does not come with w…

does he love God? or is he just catholic by name only and spends his sundays in nightclubs? (in which case i understand your concern). there are not many orthodox Christians in poland, so it's not surprising to find a polish person being catholic! …

may God bless u. i am sorry i can't be your brother (i am your sister!) and i am not holy, but i pray God gives you peace and guides you.

remember that the husband is often saved through the wife and the wife through her husband. God has already given you a leadership position and a job to do; he has put you in the best position to lead your wife and family into a closer relationship …

dear happyjoy, i think it is very good that you have discovered the orthodox church and also you seem to have a deep interest in God. there are 2 separate things you have to do. 1. (very important) pray to God and ask Him how you can know Him and Hi…

thanks, but no, i just have a good dictionary. i didn't even realise that the arabic for 'nomad' would obviously come from the word for bedouin! i am sending you p.m.

i have moved again since then... think i will change my name to bedawiyya mabsoota!

guys, i'm not saying u r all autistic! :o i just said that maybe some people who can't make friends are. but it came out wrong. sorry...

i couldn't find the address! :o i could drive you there, but not give directions. i have fond memories of meeting you :)

there are 2 great churches just south of brimingham. get in touch with our lovely brother ophadece for details. :)

may God guide all of you. some people are lonely because they have a form of autism (probably a mild form or you would not understand how to use the computer). don't confuse this with a mental health problem or sin, it is different. if you have this…
-
very good points, both of you. bishoy, God longs for a close relationship with you. it's good if u love Him because He loves you (all else is of secondary importance) :)
-
may God bless you dear brother and give you peace. when you have problems with your mental health, you need to remember that other people usually know what is real and what is not real better then you, so you should listen to your dad and your tutor…

many people go through this. did u speak to your confession father? feel free to send p.m. no need to put details on the public forum. keep up with yr spiritual life and may God bless u.
-
u do plenty of cooking for people where the basic meal is vegan, but you can add in eggs/meat etc. for those who are not fasting. e.g. fool medamas served with stir fried veg and plain rice for the fasting, changing it to egg fried rice for the non …

thanks, minatasgeel for all your hard work on the website. i was enjoying the site earlier today, when i saw u updated some hymns :) this is one of my favourites: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/691 i just about understand enough coptic to r…

i pray you get the best marks. do u have any other exams or do u have some free time now?
-
hi, you liked school about as much as i did! :( it looks like you did share your faith, though, through your actions and through working hard at school and listening during the liturgy. i wore unfashionable sandals in the summer (we were poor and i…

thanks, remnkemi for your long and very interesting post. this explains my confusion during Holy Week when one set of readings was being read and another one was in the book!
-
very good advice. fasting should be gradual. the first time i fasted during saint mary's fast (which was 5 years ago, during which time i joined the orthodox church!) i only gave up meat, which was hard enough at the time as i was living with (and o…

i have replied on the other thread: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php/topic,14572.0.html :)

this is true. older people tend to be more religious, but most british born hindus i know under age 30 wear leather shoes and most british muslims i know drink beer (but not during the fast). interest in non organised religion, such as pantheism, cr…

hey, we love being orthodox Christians here! people see it as a bit of a novelty and ask more questions than if you are protestant or catholic. they assume Christianity is boring, so it is interesting to them to find someone who loves it. we feel t…

you are right, i have the closer translation somewhere and will look for it. i have re-translated it into better english (just how someone can mix 'you' and 'thee' in the same song is beyond me, sounds terrible to a native english speaker!). if you …

hi, welcome! i am also on the other forum. we get more bots here (spammers) so don't be surprised if you see some weird comment in bad english with advertising signature about buying trainers (sports shoes)! which part of america is seattle? (am ign…
-
i agree, and also you should share this in confession. another thing is that you may have too much spare time. keep busy helping others who have trouble - visit an old person, cook something for a sick person etc. if you still have lots of time, mem…

thanks a lot. 'i sought after you' is a more difficult tune for me, never mind, it will soon (!) be kiahk.
-
is this sung to the same tune as 'my heart and my tongue'? (second psali adam during kiahk) and does anyone know where i can hear a recording of this sung at a normal pace? i found one sung very slowly, but in our church, we always sung it at a boun…
