Another point I've heard before and that I liked very much: scientists can always explain what happened with the creation of the Earth, they'll say so and so descended …

Oh, don't forget the voice. For the past like half year, whenever I go high on a hymn, my voice always cracks. Once during tasbeha two days ago, we were doing …
they say life evolved and it became more complex over time, so this means that the apes from which we come (according to "scientists"), came from less developed life and eventually it goes back to the single cells.
However this doesn't prove the bib…
didnt load with me either, i downloaded it
i dont know anything bout english liturgies or where to find them lol, maybe someone else can help u with this :)
evolution doesn't contradict the creation story at all, in fact it's not a coincidence that scientist believe life started in the water and the bible says Life was created in the sea first, before the life on land...
the only thing we don't believe …
there's a lot of great gregorian liturgies on this site lol

-Abortion is one of the most common surgical procedures in the US

concidering the fact that they all lived hundreds of years, i really think there were more than 6 kids, i mean, hundreds of years :o
they didn't have a lot to do back then lol, no college, no hymns, no tasbeha.org ;D

2-The catholic church puts St. Peter as the founder of christianity. We do not.
i'm not sure if they believe he's the founder of christianity, but they do believe that he was the founder of the church of Rome...
however we don't agree with this ei…
good question lol, i was always wondering how it was possible, and after some thinking i actually came to the following conclusions:
people only lived such a long time untill the time of Noach; the time where people used to vegetal food only; no me…

They THINK it has everything to do with religion but a lot of it really doesn't. They have all these stupid de facto rules that thrive on hypocrisy
a lot doesn't lol ur rite, but just keep in mind that these things usually are cultural and they shou…
I want to believe with all my heart but i feel like that won't happen by simply going to church and praying without feeling, a robot can do that. As a human being, i want to really truthfully believe in God without a doubt. Not just say that i do.

that is so interesting, it does make sense though
at least it clears up the meaning of eucharist, and it's importance
This does not mean that we become divine in nature, for if we participated in God's essence or nature the distinction between God a…

sunday is the day the lord resurrected and the day that salvation was completed; so it's the day the Lord truly rested
i guess u can look up for the verses that talk about the resurrection on the third day ;)
hope tis helped
i totally agree with Iqbal
as an example, maybe if u look at the heresies, people at the time of Athanasius and Cyrillos etc mite not have felt any use for all the troubles the church went through at the time, but thnx to all of that, today we have…
thnx for ur opinions everybody
i was just wondering about a certain point
if Jesus was the incarnate God, and his divinity was one with his humanity, and we partake of his body, does this mean we get this sort of divinity from Christ in our bodies …
great stuff Mina Girgis, arabic is more than welcom :)
currently we are busy with the arabic part for the dutch psalmody, so if i get the ok, i will post the rest of the Arabic Midnight/weekday praise

no, i used to think that same thing, but the thing itself is actually a sin for a lot of reasons. There's a great discussion under the following link about this subject:

ur absolutely right cremedelescremes , but if u do it before communion, u actually aren't allowed to take communion (maybe if u get the absolution from a priest though)
it's a great id:
let's start with the Nativity:
Verses of the Cymbals:
u start with [coptic]Tenouwst `mViwt [/coptic] from the Morning doxology untill [coptic]Hiten noueu,y[/coptic]
then u say the verses for the nativity feast [coptic]Pijinmici `…
basically we r still in Nativity, untill the 8th day, which is circumsision
it could be a great id to actually update the txt library and fill it all with the missing hymns, when we make the hymn list
this would be a great service
