there are lots of saint movies on youtube. however it is even better for young ppl (and old ppl) to learn tasbeha (night praises), help ppl in the community and study the Bible. ppl also need to go for long walks in the country (warm waterproof clot…
firstly, the name 'Lord' or 'Yahweh' is not a personal name like 'bob' or 'david'.it is the name in the sense of being a description of the essence of God.
the Bible means to say that God revealed His essence in a greater way to Moses when He power…
may God give you strength.often when we go through stress, our bodies try to comfort us with physical things.ask God to comfort you instead, be honest and pray and say 'God, this is really hard right now, please remind me of your love for me' and th…
i was wondering how many days it would take for this reply!;-)
as you say, it is like calling a british person jozef because the polish spelling is easier!or, because tant calls the priest 'abouna beeter', you actually start writing 'peter' with a '…
ok, now you put me on the spot!(just like my confession father who used to give us coptic lessons while we were sat waiting for Bible study and not interested in coptic!)
it means 'our Lord and our God and our saviour Jesus Christ'i am glad to see t…
well done, coptic artist, may God give you many peaceful times.

i think it means 'sins'.but i'll step back and leave the proper coptic speakers to comment!have a blessed sunday, may God fill you with the light of His resurrection and forgive all our sins.
he sounds like a nice person.did u know that john wesley (one of the methodist founders) liked a lot of the early orthodox church fathers? his love for knowing God personally and reading the Bible was also very orthodox.:-)
jojo_hanna, you omitted to send me your email address! i hope to finish the modern translation of the 12th hour prayers in the next few days, by God's grace.i am doing this for myself (for when i prefer to pray in english), for jojo_hanna and for an…
hi, eastern orthodox brother (sister?),that sounds great. i am happy to hear about the modern english.do you pray 'our father' in modern english too?if so, please post it here, as i would love to see that.
where can someone obtain the ancient faith …
it just occurred to me that perhaps you would like to pray from the agpeya with the psalms in modern english (agree that would be nice!).in that case, you could go to www.agpeya.org and copy the prayers from there into a document, then copy and past…
take the orthodox study Bible and excise the psalms(joking!)but can you get the electronic version, copy and paste it and then print it?the psalms are even more beautiful from the septuagint, and the OSB is a very good translation.
just remember that in some churches (e.g. in cyprus), the sides are switched.so always sit near the back till other people come in, so you can check you are on the correct side! i could put up with electric candles (and flashing LED lights on the ic…
is the word 'response' different in arabic or coptic?i think what the original poster is getting at is that a response comes AFTER something, not before it.the theological reflections are lovely, though:-)
unless the agreement is like this:should i leave the faith and run away from you, i give you all my possessions.in return, i request that you fast and pray for me at least once a week, so that i will turn back from my error...
i think that is just in egypt unfortunately.however, since the virus outbreak, the churches seem to be making a little more progress.people are just so happy to see another orthodox Christian from any orthodox church since they were kept away from c…
