i agree with father peter, i posted my views here: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php/topic,10598.msg130368.html#msg130368 i agree that it's very important we pray sincerely, not just repeating words, however, we also need to check out …

u know what, EVERY church has a specific set of beliefs, even if they pretend they don't. i honestly believed when i was a teenager that the church i was in then had no denomination. maybe some new age believers and bahais have no set beliefs, they …

haha zoxsasi, good thing some men like skinny women, or we would get worried reading posts like that! ;)

remember to send us a link to pages from your novel! if it's good we'll buy it ;)

i agree. scholars disagree on whether the romans crucified victims with a loincloth (a narrow strip of cloth wrapped around the waist and covering the bottom, much like a mini-skirt!) which the people of the time wore under their long robes as under…

not all orthodox churches use the lefafa (not sure what it's called in english either!) after communion, in others, the deacon watches closely to check nothing drops. but if you don't use it in a coptic church, the priest may assume you are not orth…

emperor constantine wanted the head of the church to be in his city and the patriarch to be subject to him. not that he was biased in any way of course... strangely, the patriarch of rome wanted to be in charge too. of course, he wasn't biased eithe…

cyril97, go see your FOC, maybe he meant you were doing ok, and know how to progress in your spiritual life so you can confess less often. you could ask him. like, if you shout at someone on monday, ignore someone on tuesday and laugh at someone on …

sometimes doing small things (correcting the star counts) has a big impact! thanks for that, father peter :) by the way father peter is one of the people responsible for my happy state as he posted me loads of stuff about orthodoxy back before i wa…

u know, i think good grammar is optional. ;)

hi father peter, now you have counts, can you fix the stars for ilovesaintmark?! ;)
-
yes, u need to ask a priest or spiritual advisor who knows you. i am older than dzheremi and younger than father peter. but i was speaking to a young (20s) single coptic friend of mine and she said sometimes there is a problem that if people see eac…

'don't buy a used car'? :o i first bought a car > 10 years ago, but have never afforded a new one! r u guys crazily rich or something?! cars lose 1/4 their value in the first 2-3 years, they are not good value for money. ask God to be sure u re…

i am mabsoota (happy) coz God loves me. i thought it was a cool user name! He loves u too and has a plan for your life. just be willing to give everything for the one who gave so much for you. :)

may God help you. start by reading even one verse of the Bible every day and praying 'our Father' and try to read more each day to get back on track. i remember going to confession once, i didn't know why the previous weeks had been so difficult, i …

in case there are any new-comers here, these guys are NOT serious! do not try this at home!! confess, using words, to a physically-present priest! ;)

not enough details to comment. if you only talk on the phone, it's not dating.

this is a newspaper that most british people consider to be as accurate as a mid-morning celebrity talk show. most people don't take it seriously.

aah, this is the one from the 'great entrance', when the Body and Blood of our Lord process in on feast days, is that right? it's the same words as the one from Holy week. funny how to european ears this one sounds like a sadder tune and the one fr…

we copts value theology and education very much, actually. i will leave further discussion to p.m. as i feel we have strayed off topic a little... :)
-
ok, so i mean everyone has a chance to respond. i like to be called 'coptic friend'! will write more when i also have a theology degree... ha ha ;)
-
it seems to me there are about 100 hymns called epouro, can anyone give us a link to the words and tune of the one people mean when they say 'the hymn epouro'? i know only the one from Holy week and the one which is my ring tone, and they are comple…

titL, those 40 and 50 year old guys think they are young. it's something that happens as you get older... ;)

hmm, does that mean we should call the priest's wife tensoni?!

when i was in school, i got a D in physics (like about 40%, a clear fail!). then i worked really hard, made recordings of my text books and exercise books, and listened to them in the evenings, and just kept reading and listening to my work (giving …

this is a balanced reply, however i think God calls everyone.

isn't 'voice of copts' that organisation which has very little to do with the coptic church but is quite active politically? i don't think we should be too concerned.
