  • Hey, Well since we're talking about songs here, does anyone have the song TRUELY RISEN (Kamma Haqqan) in arabic (or english, but perferably arabic)? I have it but the singer is a male with a very deep voice... so i'm hoping anyone else has the son…

  • Hey, As mentioned before, the spiritual guide does not have to be a FOC or a monk... The convanent has an abottess for many resons, one of which is to be a spiritual guide to the nuns.... So therefore, like the monks have their male spiritual gui…
  • Hey, Well, you can consider walking away from the situation (if you can) so you dont end up saying/doing somthing you dont want to do.... When you walk away, recite the Jesus Prayer... and maybe add at the end somthing like "God, i dont want to up…

  • Hey all, Christ4Life, to answer your question, yes, you're right, there is an abottess for a monastary (i believe they care called "tamav" in coptic)... MarMar91, Spiritual guidance is limited to coming from priests/monks... the nuns can turn to…
  • Hey, From what i know, you can only be baptized into the Coptic Orthodox Chruch once.... if for example, someone was born and baptized as a Catholic, and wanted to convert to Coptic Orthodox, then they can be baptized in the Coptic Chruch seeing as…

  • i dont think many people are going to support the idea of asking for soccer advice on this forum, but i just couldnt resist and i had to add: GO SOCCER!!! When you try out, go out there to have FUN and do what you really enjoy... if you go stressed…
  • Hey, The Bible tells us: "The heart is deceitful above all things, And desperately wicked; Who can understand it?" -Jeremiah 17:9 It also tells us not to trust in ourselves, but in God and His word: "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, And le…
  • Hey CopticChica21, Hope your test went well! It's GREAT that you pray 3 times; before, during, and after! i think i'll give that a try... it seems like a real confidence builder! Good luck with the rest of you school work! May the prayers of the …
  • Hey, From what i understand, they still have free will even till now.... This topic will probably go in loops... it's quite hard understand....but if you do find out anything else, let me (us) know! Take care and God bless
  • Yup, that's what i understood from that verse.... Good luck with everything! Take care and God bless
  • Hey, Well, i'm not sure about saints per-say, but there are points in the Bible when people intercede for others... In Genesis 18, Abraham intercedes for Sodom.... In the life of Moses, he is constantly interceding for Israel... In the Wedding of…
  • Hey Mickey, From what i understand, the father represents our Father, who is God, and the son represents us. We often go astray and make unwise choices, but, as the parable says, the Father is always waiting for us to come back and will take us ve…
  • Hey, The difference is that when we ask the Saint, we ourselves talk to them through prayer and means like that.... we dont really have a conversation face to face, but we know they hear us and reply to us one way or another. Spiritists actually …
  • Hey all, I agree with Christ4Life Unfortunately, i'm not 100% sure on this, so i stand corrected, but from what i understand, angels have free will before and after the fall.... i guess after the fall, they can see the concequence of disobedienc…
  • Haha, no problem Coptic Servant ;) Elitew, I believe that part in blue means talks to the spirits of dead people. Do you remember the time when Saul was king, and God was upset with him and left him, then Samuel passed away... Saul was worried abo…
  • Hey, Those who practice that stuff and that related are considered an abomination to God... we dont believe in them, because the devil works through them... stuff like palm reading, card readers, psychics, etc are all a form of witchcraft and scorc…
  • Hey, Dont worry about getting nervous, its quite normal... Some suggestions would be to make sure you prepare yourself a good few days ahead of time before the test, so that they day right before all you are doing is reviewing what you already kno…
  • Hey nene0587, First of all, you're not slow or anything, this is quite the tricky topic.... its good to be inquiring ;) Secondly, i dont think anyone on this forum can give you an answer you're looking for... its quite hard... we'll just have to w…

  • Hey all, i didnt read all the responses, but most of them sound great! i'd like to throw in my 2 cents here, so if i'm being repetative, i apologize! In the book 'The way of the Pilgrim' (which i suggest to all that you read it if you haven't, it…
  • Hey copticcross3, The problem i noticed with your comment was that you dont have a FOC... get one! I'm not sure which church you go to or if you have access to a priest or not, but a FOC is the greatest source of knowledge and comfort... i would hu…
  • Hey CopticServant, I have a suggestion that was done by some youth in our church... it worked for us, maybe you guys can do it to if you havent already. Why don't you go around to all the youth in your church, find out who wants a braclet, have the…
