it's good to love the beauty of the world, u are right. and the tasbeha (midnight praises) is a good way to learn about God's love for His world. :)

the depths of God's love. for more, see the new year's or Christmas sermons of pope tawadros. if you can't find them, maybe someone can find the link. i think there is one on this site somewhere (may have been me!) oh, and also i love our pope and …

i don't know, but CTV (coptic tv) has 'children's' programs that are subtitled and are very good for adults, like discussion classes and classes for learning hymns and interviews which are subtitled in english. it is really great! if i had a satelli…

the more you love God, the more you love all the people in the world, and take care of all the creation. when the Bible says 'do not love the world' (in 1 john), it is talking about the 'desires of the world', like lust, addiction, greed, desire for…

wow, sorry to hear that. college is not always so awful, but sometimes we have harsh things in life that are hard to go through. it is true to say that God takes care of us, though. our job is to ask for help when we are struggling, and this way we …

i liked it too, but spent so much time learning it, i forgot to thank you! sorry. and Happy Christmas! :D

i agree with orthodoxy on this one. i was born in uk of british parents (not that it shows!) and i much prefer the coptic way of keeping distance between men and women. ok. i'm not so sure about sitting separately in liturgy, but the thing about wom…

it sounds like it would be better for them not to live together. they don't have to get divorced to not live together; sometimes it is a step on the way to rebuilding the relationship. maybe if your mum considers this possibility she will be able to…

i am not able to stay long on the computer today but will pray for you. obviously our church does not accept people being violent to their husband or wife. it is against our faith completely. may God give you peace, both in your spiritual journey an…

lovely pics! i have saved the first one to my newly repaired laptop (have not been on line for a while since damaging it!). according to google translate, they were meeting on the occasion of the feast of the nativity this year (new calendar). :D

may God be with them all. i have met anba elia twice, he is a wonderful person, and i am sure the others are too. may God have mercy and give us all peace and courage.

now is the Christmas fast, it's a good time to come back to church. please do it soon! for your own good and for the good of the people who look up to you and want to follow your example.

ethiopians and eritreans often do not because of strong jewish influence there many hundreds of years ago. we do. but we don't like to talk about it during the Christmas fast! :o ;) just kidding; i don't like it that much, so it hasn't made me to…

[quote author=Servos link=topic=13977.msg162042#msg162042 date=1355699170] Dear Mnc_hnn and others Coptic brothers and sisters, Do Copts have some pop music or hip-hop or any modern band and music group? If I searched the forum good, I find lot of …

because we take the Body and Blood separately, there is a chance some crumbs could fall out, so we cover our mouths for that reasons. we don't use the cloth after we take the Holy Blood. in eastern orthodox Holy Communion, you take the Body and Bloo…

thanks a lot for the post and link! :)

hi and welcome! basically we believe that our free will and God's knowledge of what we will do next are both very important. we don't believe anyone is set up to fail, rather that God hardens people's hearts because of their evil ways. other people …

wow, thanks for sharing that! i missed that interview. i have to change my habits! :o i suppose we can still ululate in the church hall after the wedding / ordination etc. does anyone know if people used to ululate in the 'old days' in church? is…

sorry, there are so many questions, we don't know where to start. can you start with the most important question for you? we know that God does not tempt us more than we can bear. it says this in 1 corinthians 10 verse 13.

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=14001.msg161837#msg161837 date=1355156581] I have to apologize. Apparently, most of the English text found in they hymn "I praise the Virgin" was taken from a private translation I made years ago. It seems as the ye…
