I am new to these forums but have been reading threads for some time. I joined specifically so I could ask how to read the Agpeya. I understand that there is a series of readings you need to do at certain hours of the day (as shown on agpeya.com), but I remember when I read the Agpeya with other kids from my church along with my Priest we didn't read all of those psalms, just a select few. How do you select which psalms to read? Could someone please explain the process of reading the Agpeya? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks a lot!]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8766/i-need-your-opinion-about-this Tue, 02 Feb 2010 23:18:39 +0000 ServentofGod 8766@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8597/i-know-a-sin-is-a-sin Fri, 18 Dec 2009 09:58:26 +0000 bigeee 8597@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8731/religion-course Sun, 24 Jan 2010 18:19:21 +0000 8731@/community/discussions I am currently taking a religion course as an elective in university. The course is entitled “Religious ethics and the environment”. It explores the effect that different religions have on our environment. I need to write a research paper for this course. I want to focus on Coptic Christianity, I also want this paper to help me grow and gain new knowledge about our church and Christ’s teachings. I am having problems narrowing down my research topic. Does anyone have any suggestions? Anything will help!! I need to write on a topic in which there is abundant information about. Does anyone have any ideas? I would appreciate anything that comes to mind. Thank you in advance, please pray for my weaknesses. Here are some of the guidelines the teacher has given us:

“The paper is intended to be a BALANCED AND CRITICAL EVALUATION of a topic at the intersection of religion and the environment.
The paper requires you to do additional research aside from the course readings.
Please keep in mind that while this assignment asks you to have an opinion, it should not simply be an opinion piece. In other words, you are free, and in fact encouraged, to defend your convictions, but you must back up your position with outside academic sources and logical argumentation. This is not the place to proselytize. Please don’t give us, for example, an impassioned defense of the truthfulness of Christian doctrines or (even worse) a damning critique of the wrongheadedness of Islam based on your own personal feelings or subjective experiences.

Structure your paper accordingly:
Examine how the belief systems, rituals, and concepts of a religious tradition* might be used to solve a real environmental problem (such as overpopulation, water pollution, loss of biodiversity, global warming, or the unethical treatment of animals, for instance). What does the religion say about this problem? Does it give counsel (to its members) on how to go about facing this problem? How feasible is its practical ethic? Why is this religion (as opposed to, say, a secular philosophy or movement) particularly valuable in solving this problem? You might also consider how this religion works well for some issues, but perhaps not so well for others. Finally, you could also suggest how this religion might reinterpret or extend its teachings in certain ways so that it could better meet these challenges (after all, this is what ecotheologians do). Make sure that your paper contains an argument and a critical evaluation, not just a survey of ideas.

*Be specific. Narrow your study down to a particular confession/branch/denomination instead of generalizing an entire religion. For example, instead of writing a paper on what Christians think about animals, one could analyze Roman Catholicism vis-à-vis the use of animals in biomedical experimentation OR Greek Orthodoxy vis-à-vis the use of animals for human consumption . . . “

would you marry a girl who was married before and was separated from her first marriage for some reasons BUT was given clear permission from the church to marry again????]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8703/concentration-on-study Sun, 17 Jan 2010 17:24:42 +0000 marmar357 8703@/community/discussions
I'm 17 years and in the last year of highschool (sanaweya 3ama). This year is
VERY important and next week (tuesday) I've got a last chance to improve my school resultats
for the exam, then I finished my schoolexam and in may it's time for the central(end) exam.

My problem is: I CAN"T focus on my study. I really want to get high marks and get a good
future and I am not at bad at school, it's not that I'm not smart enough, it's just the concentration is so bad. For example, last period I am often alone at home. (father works now).
When he's away I go on facebook, msn, tasbeha, etc. I also need the computer sometimes to do
my study on it. But then I got lost and can't control myself! Then I spent hours on the net wasting
time, with the book in front of me without learning.

Which I also don't understand, is that I'm praying, looking forward God's help, but in vain.
I know God loves me and always listen to us, and I also ask the intercession
of Pope Kyriolos, but then why i Can't still concentrate, while I MUST concentrate now, beacause
I have sooooo many things to study and practisise in a very short time.
And I am not good at all in planning and split up my time.

Any advice please??  ???]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8699/advice-needed Fri, 15 Jan 2010 20:01:58 +0000 God is Love 4ever 8699@/community/discussions

There is this girl in my class and when she was walking out of the classroom, this boy randomly yelled  "She's weird"  and some people started laughing and stuff. :-\

What should a real Christian do in that point, when someone innocent is being made fun of?

How should we do it in a polite way without getting rude?

Could anyone please answer this question of mine because i am extremely ignorant in everything.

May God help you to answer this question.

Thank you soooooo much

God Bless

I've strayed so many times from Him and returned to Him.
I became so close to Him at one stage only to willingly let myself stray further and further away.
I'm not talking about simple sins.... I mean REALLY bad sins... the kind that people in the Old Testament got stoned for!!!

So how many times will He forgive me, when I keep willfully commiting the same sins over and over. Some times I don't even care.

How can He ever forgive me again and again... when in the OT they didn't even get a second chance?

I don't think His forgiveness works like that! You can't sin then repent, then sin again (even worse) then repent again over and over.... It's a cycle that has to end.

How can He forgive me after I was sooo close to HIm and repented with all my heart before.. How can He forgive me now that I've strayed again .. after tasting His Grace. I've gone further astray then before.

I've promised Him so many times that "from today I will change and try harder" but I never keep it up.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8664/i-had-a-dream Fri, 08 Jan 2010 06:50:56 +0000 sodr2 8664@/community/discussions
What's up with that?

Btw, I feel like I'm drifting away from the faith. I haven't gone to church in a long time because of school. And I can't really confess since I'm in Egypt and I can't sbeak Arabic that well.]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8646/what-do-you-usually-do Sun, 03 Jan 2010 19:32:23 +0000 ebnyasoo3 8646@/community/discussions
We usually go to a resturant or something since we have no church. But I think that this is not the right way to celebrate The birth of our Lord and Savior.

How can I spend this Nativity feast with God.
Pray for me]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/8649/boys-and-girls Mon, 04 Jan 2010 16:34:17 +0000 Tzegemariam 8649@/community/discussions I had a question that I hope God will help you answer...

How does one carry themself in front of the opposite gender? (Specifically girls)
For example, I often feel comfortable around boys and I feel like I shouldn't be

Thanks and
May God Bless

I told her you know your to young and that you should focus on God only. She said that the 2 of them would spend time talking about the Bible and she would go to his fellowship and he would go to hers. Note: this guy is not Coptic or Egyptian. But from what she says he seems like a well rounded person. I proceeded to tell her even if the relationship is soaked with God in it...it's still not the right time.
