  • yeah ! why don't we all just wear khakis and navy polos??? haha.. ok, it's not gonna happen.  The matter of fact is that what people wear has become a way of expressing themselves, and to some people, it's sadly the ONLY way of self expression and …
  • wait..high school curriculum forr what?? like sundayschool?
  • it's not wrong. no. but, if you have something nicer to wear, wear it !
  • Insert Quote Why would any angel want to leave the presence of God or even think a sinful thought or have pride? It just doesn't make sense to me. If we are in heaven with God Almighty and are praising Him and heaven is a place of joy indescribable …
  • yeah Angles def had free will and Lucifer tempted Lucifer. that's the easiest way to put it.. this is actually the first time that i have ever heard that the devil is the only cause of sin, i'm pretty sure we all temp ourselves, it wouldn't be fa…
  • first off, I don't thikn you should expect anything in return... also...I def. don't consider you to be taken advantage of if people are coming to you for help and information, they obviously respect you and see that you can help.  In fact, you pro…
  • ..that's interesting !! how sure are you about it, though??? because that doesn't sound natural either.. how can tricking your body into thinking your pregnant be acceptable but not preventing the sperm from getting there not be acceptable...? hmm…
  • I'd like to start off by saying that most of us sitting here on Tasbeha live comfortable (or more comfortable than those in Egypti) lives in these western lands of migration, so i really don't think it's our place to judge these people and  say that…

  • i dont understand..why is hair crown for a woman...but not for a man??? and about the way to dress i don't think there is a "dress code" but church is NOT a fashion show and i feel that looking respectful is a must.  Although it doesn't matter wha…
  • i think it's REALLY REALLY important that people understand that God DOES NOT in any way form or shape hate homosexuals, he hates the sin...just like he doesn't hate a murderer, he hates MURDER. he doesn't hate liars, he hates lies..ect. I also wan…
  • God Is Love ! ...i saw that everything else has been said..haha..wait has that been said too?? if so, i'm sorry. haha.
  • hmm...there is a street nearby called nikita :D haha..interestingg.. uhmmm... the name Mary means bitter...i just wanted to throw that out there...i thought it was very strange that such a pretty name would mean...bitter.
  • i think the best thing to do, that personally mellowed me out A LOT, is just takinga  deep breathe and looking at the bigger more connected picture and realizing: hey! it's not the end of the world..and even if it is ...no biggie ! AS Christians, …

  • Oral sex is definitely a sexual act but an unacceptable one (in the Coptic Church). I'm sure someone with more experience can answer you better. are you sure about this?? I read some where before that the COC does not tell you what is right or wr…
  • she might be, but in most cases the baby and the surrogate do spend time afterbirth, and many surrogates can choose to remain a part of the child's life. i also wanted to say....why is it so out of the question that it IS God's will.  Most posts a…
  • And he said if we are doing an all girls liturgy or we are at a girls' convention we ARE allowed to do them really??? would you happen to know the reason for that??

  • quote author=Hisservant link=topic=7855.msg101978#msg101978 date=1240180850] STOP AVOIDING RELIGION!!!! Tell them why you don't want to go! WHY ARE WE EMBARRASSED BECAUSE OF OUR RELIGION?!?!?!?!?! SHOW YOUR FAITH! [/quote] i've been thinknng about …
  • not only must you not forget, but i really don't think it's possible.  I mean yes, it is natural that your brain tries to push back and block bad experiences, but i really don't think you can ever truly forget.  BUt you definitely should and NEED to…
  • QT mentioned that you must have a strong eagerness to seve God...my question is: what if you're very eager to serve people/you enjoying helping others? Is that the same, on account of that one verse that says something about what you do to your neig…
  • this is how i explain that....i really don't think their "diction" has anything to do with the sexuality they choose. If anything, it's an aquired charateristic trait; i have friends that like to ...uh how do i put this...like to "pretend to be gay"…
  • sorry to burst your bubble friend, you definitely have not made a discovery, :p it's a question that humans have pondered for ages, but the answer is simple you just have to believe it. IT's exactly what everyone above me said; and we DO NOT believe…

  • i don't think it's wrong if you're not lusting ....but then again...why would you kiss someone if you don't lust for them. For example: it's perfectly fine to kiss your mother, brother, father, sister, grandparents, relatives...and etc. why? because…
  • I'm not sure what the church's views are....but there have been several wars in the BIble... i personally think it's alright...i mean...someone has to do it...and i might as well be someone guided by God then some random person looking to cause pro…
  • ....i believe it, too :( the BIble is very clear that it's one thing to sin , but it's HUGE when you corrupt others and lead them astray "Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come.  It would be…
