no, i wasn't far7ana feeha ;D, I actually felt bad because she had just had dinner and sat down to rest and then I borught down my laptop to show her and she starts crying, poor mommy!
Jesus having a whip in His palm simply refers to how He disiplines us, kind of like a mom disiplines her child by hitting him or yelling at him, but she doesn't want to hurt him becuase she love him so much. So God displines us, but it breaks His …
okay, I didn't read all the replies but here is what I have to say. All of the church readings are read from the NKJV and that's the one any sunday school teacher or abouna would recommend. The NIV takes away alot of the meaning by simplyfing thi…
Here it is guys, this is what I came up with....I couldn't wait to finish finals so I could work on it, so let me know what you think.
In my throbbing heart I have hid Your place,
Deep in my bosom is Your dwelling place.
I have forsaken the world a…
i heard that second song before. It's beautiful. it was presented by a youth at the college convention and everyone was crying, even someone the guys' eyes started to water. It's got a lot of depth. but of course nothing beat our coptic songs ;D
I'm glad all of our answers helped you. Of course God knows the future! you know God's will by developing a realtionship with Him and recognizing His voice (which sometimes means silencing your own). you deveop this relationship by prayer, reading…
i disagree with you sandra. in a sermon by H.H. Pope Shenouda, he talks about God's will vs. what God allows to occur. He says, "God wills that the thief doesn't steal, but He allows him to steal. God wills that a smoker doesn't smoke, but He all…
CopticChica, you gave an awesome response and i agree with you. I just want to add on thing. i had a similar situation for one of my classes and had my mom come in to speak with both the counsler and the teacher (at the same time). since then, th…
that was perfectly said luke, i wouldn't have said it any better. And to give an example of the last point you mentioned about things that seem bad to us is all the stories we heard after 9/11 of people who missed their train or got stuck in traffi…
it's not so much that Agpeya is fary7y as much as it doesnt focus on the passion of Christ, which is the theme for Holy Week. that's why there is the Pascha book which focuses primarily on the passion of Christ and its detail during that week (it ev…
i think you're reading way too much into it nene107
we are not killing anyone like Hitler did, nor are we discriminating against anyone's religion. the matter of the fact is bad company corrupts good habits and we just want JesusKingofKings to take…
hi esakla23, your interpertation is not wrong, it just needs a little tweeking. first of all, God never tempts man. He does allow us to be tempted, though. and when He does allow temptation to come our way, He always makes sure that there is a wa…

there is also a way to get to it from www.biblegateway.com but i haven't figured that out yet.
just a small correction, or more of a technicality if you will, the great lent ends t…
no, i personally never heard that before. all i know is that they early church used to fast the Holy Lent every 3 years, then decided those days were to holy to have once every 3 years, so they made it every year. r u sure you heard abouna right, …
