  • As others have mentioned, if we cannot control our desire for food then we wont be able to control any bodily lusts. As one of the fathers said if we cannot control gluttony which is the simplest of all lusts, then how do we hope to control all the …
  • Great video, thank you :) One of the fathers said that we are not God so we dont/cant judge who and what religion will go to heaven. But he said that to make sure 100% that you reach Christ , Orthodox christianity is the choice. He compared it to di…
  • Amazing prayer  :)
  • Certified orthodox, this question may seem out of place, but did you have another username that you used on this website? The only reason I am asking is because we had another person who suffered the same problem. Aside from that question, without …
  • Lol thats funny :)
  • What kind of show will it be? and where will we be able to see it? God bless your actions
  • Saint Isaac the syrian said "If a man believes that he can achieve repentence without prayer, he is deceived by the devils" Prayer is very important; Plus for me I believe singing the tasbeha is a wonderful aid that helps me when I am tempted Pray…
  • Thats true, I meant to say judgmental with bad intentions i.e condemning
  • Through many experiences, I found that not having a strong relationship with God is usually the case why I become lazy and deviate from my goal. I believe that the more I grow in Christ the more I become goal oriented and strive to be the best I can…
  • Prayers of the saints be with him; God never leaves his children
  • I can start by adding something simple to get the conversation going :) The three vows of monasticism are purity, obedience and poverty In addition, monks are earthly angels or heavenly humans Pray for me
  • If you are just there for a few months then why bother and start a relationship, or even give the guy the impression that you are interested. As a coptic guy, I admit, even though I dont like to, that most coptic guys will "test" a girl and see how …
  • Without being judgmental and with all honesty, I felt the same way too and I was about to comment on how certifiedorthodox replies to Fr Peter. This is probably the third post that I stopped reading because of the tone of voice. Fr Peter's opinion i…
  • Celibacy is very common in the bible, for example when St Paul was discussing marriage and he stated that if people cannot be like him (i.e. celibate) then its better for them to get married. As for monasticism, the only example I can think of righ…
  • Prayers of the saints be with you and help us all overcome our temptation. Seek intercession from St Moses the strong; he is a great example of a person that was overcome with the passions of the flesh and with the help of God he repented and became…
  • We just had a sermon yesterday in the youth meeting about the three components of the fast that act as one unit. These components are prayer, fasting (two kinds- abstaining from food and fasting from dairy products) and alms giving.
  • But it only has the first lesson; I was looking for the second part but it isnt posted. I really wish that some of the Daf experts takes out of their busy time and make a video to teach those of us who are eager to learn the daf.
  • If you chose God to be your true friend that you have made the wisest decision. Being with God is the main reason why we are here on earth; to glorify God through our love for him. If your friends choose to leave you because you go to church then th…
  • If I recall correctly, one of the reasons for a medical examination is to check and try to prevent any genetic diseases that might be passed on to the child. Especially in Egypt, where it is very common for relatives to marry and that increases the …

  • Thank God first and for all, and thank you for letting the grace of God work through you
  • Thank you so much super man, its a really great service I appreciate it :) Its really beneficial I like them all specially for the coptic word and the saying of the day I am not sure if its possible or if people would like it, but would the verse of…
  • North star, I really like your answer, thank you
  • Yostos
  • Ph4:13 "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me"
  • I agree with what has been posted about sticking to one FOC as it is not beneficial to keep switching from one abouna to the other. However, I dont see any guilt in changing your FOC if you feel that you are not benefiting as much as you should or t…
  • How can you prove something unlimited with our very limited mind? we are finite and seek to understnad God the infinite. We dont understand everything and I am sure we all agree on that, science and every branch of studies have not fully understood …
  • Hailemikael, we are not God, we dont know what criteria he will use to judge everyone, but what we know is that God is merciful and just, he is perfect in all that he does. As for christians they will be judged on their own belief and whether they …
