what do you fill your head with? angry / sexual music will encourage bad thoughts. church attendance, thinking of your relationship with God and taking Holy Communion will encourage good thoughts. if you take care what you watch, read and listen too…

one of the news stories: http://news.yahoo.com/egypts-mursi-defies-army-plots-future-without-him-010721364.html keep praying. our God is mighty.

i think separation is usually the best way forward because that way you are not divorced yet, you have time to decide what to do while you stay alive and think about it. well done for choosing this. i will also send you personal message. may God gui…

nice article biboboy. nice website too. does no-one write there anymore? there are no new posts. do people use tasbeha.org instead that used to use it? my priest says that judas did partake of the Holy Communion and he has a masters in theology (eq…

thank you! ;D so if it's only colloquial, then will non egyptians arabic speakers not understand it?
-
i don't know for sure, but the spelling is the same (same sort of 'ta') and the 'ya' often turns into 'waw' in derived words. so i am assuming it's from the same root, but maybe someone else can help us.

if u both want to serve God, He will guide you and lead you to the church you need to be in. both families of orthodox churches are Christian so if you think you will go to an eastern orthodox church, it is good to choose one that accepts this fact.…

did u get a check up with your priest and your doctor? also check to see if you are working or studying over 70 hours a week. this leads to tiredness!
-
ha, i'm a bit 'baseeta' when it comes to understanding arabic! i guess the word 'mabsoota' originally refers to someone naive or innocent and it came to mean 'happy' in colloquial egyptian arabic at a later stage. so i'm sorry i can't guess whether…

back on topic- :P i think saint mina was smiling more than usual on his feast day today because saint baba kyrillos (do we still call him pope if we call him saint?) is canonised too! thanks for the article on saint habib girgis, but i often wond…

tell us his life story please! i know less than 100 saints; need to catch up! ;)

alithos anesti! i am happy with the news, i feel better about kissing my pope kyrillos picture now ;) this habeeb girgis, is he the one whose daughter wrote the coptic history book? coz i could probably find a picture of his to kiss next time i'm…

well done for your appointment, keep up the counselling and i think u need to see a doctor too. most 'suicide attempts' don't work coz they just make you horribly disabled instead. so give that up. avoid nihilistic literature and atheist stuff too, …

in uk right now, the sun rises at 4:30am. :o

because we respect the concept of blood being lifegiving, so when we have the blood of Jesus in us, we keep it in. it gives it more respect, which i think is a partly cultural thing, as we don't find this in all the orthodox churches. we can break t…

hang on, this is the egyptian church; wait patiently for 6 months or so for them to get organised and then ask again... :P ;)

the european dioceses are being reorganised, which is needed as the churches have grown up all various different locations under various different bishops, which has been fine, as any church growth is great. but now we need some more organisation so…

i take your point, but we have to be careful not to treat gay people like some sort of modern 'lepers' and withold from them the words or God and the love of God. if the person getting 'married' is a close friend, we should share our opinion, just l…
-
my own view (not the church's) is that if someone is not a Christian, but an atheist or another religion, and he/she is my gay friend, then i would go to the 'wedding' ceremony in support of my friend. I don't think being gay is incompatible with be…

i think it's a man's name.

saint mattais went preaching with saint andrew and was martyred: http://orthodoxwiki.org/Apostle_Matthias i chose him for my avatar because i felt like i entered the orthodox church at a late stage (not from orthodox Christian family) like him (not …

yes, He is risen indeed! do as stavro says. work hard on your spiritual life, pray, study for school, read the Bible, love everyone, help people in your home and outside it, forgive and love your enemies and also read the stories of the saints, and …

it was saints cyril and methodius (who were either greek or bulgarian, depending on where you draw the map) who took the gospel to these countries and some of the ex soviet union countries. this was somewhere around the year 1000AD, and the orthodox…

interesting, how do you use computer lights correctly to make you drowsy? all the other stuff is true, although sleep apnoea is usually only in fat people. i think it's more common in america, as there is this cultural habit of eating loads and not …

put alarm on the other side of the room, so you can't switch it off without leaving your bed. also if you ignore it, it will wake the whole house and get you into trouble. going to bed early also helps. go to bed 9 hours before you want to get up. …
