there are many questions here, i will answer what i can. our church teaches that only those who accept Jesus are saved. when Jesus was in the place of the dead (hades) after He was crucified, He went and preached to those who had died before (1 Pete…

yesterday i learnt (tried to learn...) 2 papal hymns with this site. it's really good. :)

lovely! if you are really asking for feedback, can i say that the subdeacons' microphones are too loud? they need to be fixed to be quieter than the priest's microphone, then it would be even more lovely. :)

dear sister, please keep going to church. i know it is hard when you feel people are looking at you, but maybe you can go to early morning liturgy during the week or on saturday when there are less people. anyone who judges you needs to judge their …

examples are limited, they can never tell us everything about God. God is not limited. :)

so lovely, so encouraging, so sweet, so refreshing, praising to God for His goodness! stay calm, and avoid the downs AND the ups of trusting emotions. may God continue to guide you and all others who struggle. :)

another gem: 'nafs il melody, different words' (the same melody...) gotta love it :) you can follow the coptic words and the translation here: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?a=view&id=110

but u have to be really bilingual to understand it! LOL i actually like the random mixture of english and arabic words in the explanation, but i wonder how widely it's understood. e.g. 'khali barak; those two lines' instead of 'look carefully at th…

most french catholic (practicing, not just occasional attenders). the bride was previously catholic from another country. one of the guests is agnostic. could you send me p.m. with your details? thanks a lot for your help. :)

what do you fill your head with? angry / sexual music will encourage bad thoughts. church attendance, thinking of your relationship with God and taking Holy Communion will encourage good thoughts. if you take care what you watch, read and listen too…

this is one of today's Bible readings: 2Cor 11:16-end ; 2Cor 12:1-12 http://www.copticchurch.net/cgibin/bible/index.php?r=2Cor+11:16-end+;+2Cor+12:1-12&version=NKJV&showVN=1 look at this: And lest I should be exalted above measure…

one of the news stories: http://news.yahoo.com/egypts-mursi-defies-army-plots-future-without-him-010721364.html keep praying. our God is mighty.

i think separation is usually the best way forward because that way you are not divorced yet, you have time to decide what to do while you stay alive and think about it. well done for choosing this. i will also send you personal message. may God gui…

nice article biboboy. nice website too. does no-one write there anymore? there are no new posts. do people use tasbeha.org instead that used to use it? my priest says that judas did partake of the Holy Communion and he has a masters in theology (eq…

thank you! ;D so if it's only colloquial, then will non egyptians arabic speakers not understand it?
-
i don't know for sure, but the spelling is the same (same sort of 'ta') and the 'ya' often turns into 'waw' in derived words. so i am assuming it's from the same root, but maybe someone else can help us.
-
if u both want to serve God, He will guide you and lead you to the church you need to be in. both families of orthodox churches are Christian so if you think you will go to an eastern orthodox church, it is good to choose one that accepts this fact.…

did u get a check up with your priest and your doctor? also check to see if you are working or studying over 70 hours a week. this leads to tiredness!
-
ha, i'm a bit 'baseeta' when it comes to understanding arabic! i guess the word 'mabsoota' originally refers to someone naive or innocent and it came to mean 'happy' in colloquial egyptian arabic at a later stage. so i'm sorry i can't guess whether…

back on topic- :P i think saint mina was smiling more than usual on his feast day today because saint baba kyrillos (do we still call him pope if we call him saint?) is canonised too! thanks for the article on saint habib girgis, but i often wond…

tell us his life story please! i know less than 100 saints; need to catch up! ;)

alithos anesti! i am happy with the news, i feel better about kissing my pope kyrillos picture now ;) this habeeb girgis, is he the one whose daughter wrote the coptic history book? coz i could probably find a picture of his to kiss next time i'm…

well done for your appointment, keep up the counselling and i think u need to see a doctor too. most 'suicide attempts' don't work coz they just make you horribly disabled instead. so give that up. avoid nihilistic literature and atheist stuff too, …

in uk right now, the sun rises at 4:30am. :o

because we respect the concept of blood being lifegiving, so when we have the blood of Jesus in us, we keep it in. it gives it more respect, which i think is a partly cultural thing, as we don't find this in all the orthodox churches. we can break t…

hang on, this is the egyptian church; wait patiently for 6 months or so for them to get organised and then ask again... :P ;)

the european dioceses are being reorganised, which is needed as the churches have grown up all various different locations under various different bishops, which has been fine, as any church growth is great. but now we need some more organisation so…
