u don't need to go into detail! say 'i have problems ignoring my bodily desires'.

it's not just that the arabic is difficult, the concepts are difficult too. i managed 1.5 paragraphs before realising my dictionary and i need help! the first paragraph is about the power of communal repentance, and it looks like abouna tadros is t…

do some songs, 'i spy' games and also let them have some free time, so they can do some of their own activities. when i was a kid, i went on a few school trips and we had lots to sing. most of it i wouldn't repeat though! ;) in my defense, i didn't…

Joshua is "yeshoue' ' from hebrew directly to english and 'Jesus' is from hebrew to greek and then to english. it's silly that we have 2 ways of saying the same name!
-
they are different ways of pronouncing the greek name. if you start from greek, through coptic and arabic, you get tawadrous, and if you start with greek and go through latin and english you get theodorus or theodore. it's like arabs say 'mariam' an…

Axios! Axios! Axios! :D

i remember u! :) it's good to c u again, welcome to the old people's world! ;)

i had problems like this sometimes too, it is very hard if u feel alone. the best thing is to wait and focus on other things, like yr spiritual life and pray and ask God to guide u. remember it is normal to feel cut off and friendless at times of tr…

may God guide u and have mercy on those who suffer.

it is good to speak to yr priest about it. if u can't bear to speak to a man about it, take advice from an older spiritual auntie first. make good use of yr time (prayer, Bible study, church activities, helping people, working etc.) ask God for His …

I am answering questions here from the coptic patriarch thread. may the Lord choose for us a good and wise shepherd and preserve his life for many years. i think it is very hard as an eritrean Christian if yr bishop and others around u follow the n…
-
no, definitely not. will post in a thread about eritrea so we don't confuse this one.

abouna antonius is still the current eritrean orthodox patriarch. he is under house arrest and in poor health, but he is still the patriarch and i recently communed in one of his churches. please remember him in your prayers.
-
yes, also on yahoo world news. lots prayers please!
-
i agree with mnc_hnn, i haven't found anywhere in the Bible or teachings of the church fathers the encouragement to meditate on violence. if u find games that have a sports theme or involve building an imaginary house or business faster than yr comp…

so are u in uk now, zoxsasi? i know many of our priests here and they are all working hard on their english and in reaching out to the local community. one who only came a few years ago is already fluent in english and getting on well with the youth…

many south asians from all religions commemorate 40 days too. it seems to be a good point at which to start preparing for life after bereavement. it is not a requirement in our religion, but it is a nice cultural ritual that helps us express grief …

may God help u all. there are not as many people posting on tasbeha.org these days, but that doesn't mean no one prays.
-
i think he has a lot of questions and is not sure who to ask. we don't have time to answer all of them, but we will do what we can. :) mikeforJesus, do you have problems in college? may God give you peace.
-
please update us when the new fasting dates are announced.
-
yes, i hope we will find unity in this generation. but please feel free to join us here and we can learn more about each others' churches. i have been to several eastern orthodox churches - i visit as often as i can. :)
-
glory be to God. :)
-
this is good advice. :) also go to confession. your priest can guide you how often to go. you don't need to go every day, as you can pray to God by yourself every day. but you should go sometimes to talk to the priest as well as he knows you, and h…

may God bless the people with His love and grace :)
-
yea! will u be there? :)
-
thanks, yes, this was the one i was looking for :) there is another one, sang at other times with 'pinishti enarshi angelos'. extra points to anyone who can say when each of the 2 are sung! (i don't know)
-
yes, still time left to fast and pray! may God have mercy on us.
-
cool, i have some time off, i will go there! i saw 'saint marina' only has a '4' rating ('1' is the best). i saw it with my friend on video (not dvd) and it was brilliant. it is not translated but it is a great film, ok the serpent special affects a…

ahh, sorry. the replies are just like nancy salinas who was advertising fitness. so i thought it was a related being. is she a bot or a human? maybe i need to work out who is human and who is bot, coz if he/she is human, i should reply instead of al…
