  • Hey, All I can say is that 2 is not displaying good behaviour for 3, seeing 2 is older than 3. Of course it is not any good and does no one any good by reading and ripping out pages from anyone's diary; its private and confidential. How old are 2 a…
  • Hey, That's interesting. I've met a few people like that. A technique is you have to make ready a topic to talk about at all times. Sometimes, awkward silences may cause someone to think that they need to work to get someone interested in them so…
  • Hey, Thank you for sharing! Gbu
  • Hey, 1. Deuteronomy 28:49-51 (New King James Version) 49 The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a nation of fierce countenance,…
  • Hey, Makes sense, thanks Epchois for all the help.
  • Just one q: does the "O" (in O church of Christ) stay the same letter and said the same when translated in Coptic?
  • That's great, thanks epchois nai nan, GBu
  • [quote author=baladoos link=topic=9104.msg113444#msg113444 date=1271485608] thanks very much for your help, My problem is that I feel that my faith is shaking. I feel that I'm very hesitant to take any decision. I don't know whether to stay in the …
  • Hey, The Eucharist is a Holy Sacrament, a mystery of the Orthodox Chruch of God. We see ourselves eating the bread and drinking the wine, He sees His Body and Blood in communion with us, a grace bestowed upon us because He is the Living Sacrifice: …
  • Hey, This is the one I have been using, its really good, at the beginning of each book it shows you a complete survey of it, heaps, historical facts and many other things and of course alot of footnotes to explain some of the verses and is very goo…
  • Indeed He is Risen! Firstly THANKYOU!! Hizz Child for finding that article it was very informative and answered all my questions  :) loveconquersall, sorry to hear about your ordeal however I am glad you share the passion I have for reasonably leng…
  • Hey, All things happen for a very good reason. Perhaps God is trying to save you from a bad marriage that could have ended in divorce and trying to help you make the right decisions when making friends in the future and also assist you in making the…
  • Hey, Thanks all for your views on this. A normal litugy at my church would take 3 hours, from 8am-11am, with nothing skipped and everything said at an appropriate speed. In reply to Minagir and TITL, who mentioned Pope Kyrillos and Father Pishoy Ka…
  • Hey, thanks Joe for your help. The link you provided had the same title but not the same hymn but thats alright I managed to go through the site and found some really good ones. May God continue to bless you.
  • Hey, If I were in Person B's shoes, I would try and look for the cause of all this: Is it bad companionship outside the family? Is it lack of attention given to her in the family? Is it lack of respect for parents? Is she trying to fill a hole but …
  • Hey, Indeed Glory be to God! First, this requires some theological reflection and I would like to point to a text by St Philoxenus of Mabbug, a 6th century Oriental Orthodox Syriac Father (‘The Ascetic Discourses’) Here is one quote that I found hel…
  • Hey, You just started a new thread here?!
  • [quote author=minagir link=topic=9031.msg112550#msg112550 date=1269909151] watch min 9:56 of this video: http://cof.blip.tv/file/3367831/ [/quote] "Make fasts pointless by substituting real cheese with seyami cheese." Something to think about, Th…
  • Hey, nice thread, there should be more of these threads during this Holy Week. In terms of sowing righteousness there are several means: Pursue it 1 Timothy 6:11 But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, fait…
  • Hey, Lets keep our food intake simple during Passion Week and keep the true focus on our spirit because our bodies don't last as long as our spirit, which lasts all eternity. So lets invest in our spirit- its an opportunity now with the blessings a…
  • Hey, [quote author=jerusalem2 link=topic=9017.msg112438#msg112438 date=1269610011] Our Church often has readings from St. Luke's Gospel which speaks about Jesus' encounter with women and the respect and love He showed them e.g. the adulterous woman…
  • You have known her for 4 years, so go with whatever you think she will like or easier for you. On Sunday say hi, and greet her lovingly, and go on with your business, don't ask her questions at this point, give time for you both to reflect. Maybe gi…
  • Hey, Write her a letter telling her how you feel, I know you feel not treated right and if that ever happened to me, I would go for a letter. Letters work for any busy person. They read it when they can and pay alot of attention to them when they d…
  • Hey, Sorry for misreading. 1. Talk about it (if its hard to find time to talk, write an email or a letter) 2. Listen to her 3. Empathise with her It will help her listen to you and empathise with you and open her heart out to you. They are my main…
  • Hey, No matter where you are in the world the same thing happens. It happened with me. When I was in year 12 (the last year of highschool), I had a friend who was my age but was in year 10 for English language reasons, because she recently came fro…
  • Hey, St John Cassian' s book of his conferences gives a good commentary. "The prophet Jeremiah, speaking in the place of God, tells us that from above there comes the very fear of God by which we may cling to Him. `I shall give them one heart and …
  • Hey, mine is "What time is it now?" // "El sa2a kam dolwa2ti?" by Abouna Yostos el Antony (or "The Silent Monk") I like it because it reminds me of the little time we have on this earth.
  • Hey, I know you have edited your thread, but if the problem still exists, I always use the the Power of the Psalms to take me out of disturbing situations. When St Yostos used to recite the Pslams in his room of the monestary, his dwelling was fille…
  • Hey, The answer is repeated in the the Bible many many times: "36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” 37 Jesus said to him, “ ‘You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 …
  • Hey, egyboy is right. And the church is the house of God, not the preist's house! It is also a hospital for sinners, and those who are righteous: "for though a righteous man falls seven times" (proverbs) No one one is immune to sin except the Lord …
