  • The Ancient Christian Commentary on Scripture Series is definitely the best for your needs. It goes verse by verse with quotes from several of the early Church Fathers. The formatting looks like the following for example: Genesis 1:1 Quote from St A…
  • It should be noted that "tasoni" wasn't used for the wife of a priest until recently and probably started in the diaspora. Many of my close friends who were born in Egypt simply used to call her "marat abouna".

  • Well, I hope it works! May God bless your service. [quote author=JG link=topic=13457.msg157253#msg157253 date=1341129649] off topic - your hair must grow really quickly because it grew about 2 inches between the Semoti video and the Tenouosht video…
  • You learned from HICS. Good choice :) I have a few questions. what is your aim for these videos? Is it suppose to be an online hymns class? or is it just for recreational listening? Who is your audience? is it newly ordained deacons? deacons in ge…
  • The Holy Spirit was there from the beginning as seen in Genesis 1 "1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over th…
  • God is with you and He will never leave you. When you feel temptation coming, stop yourself for just 1 second and THINK. Think if it's really worth it. Think about how you will feel afterwards. Think about the Holy Spirit whom we are grieving when w…
  • "You" can not do anything! Only our Lord can return the lost sheep. What we can do is to live in the likeness of God as true Christians and to pray that God may save them. please pray for me.

  • My Priest has told us several times that it is wrong to fast after receiving the Holy Eucharist. Our Lord said "Can the friends of the bridegroom fast while the bridegroom is with them? As long as they have the bridegroom with them they cannot fast.…

  • I have one recorded by Fr. Antonious Tanious. PM me your email.
  • Tell your "friends" to mind their own business. If they were true friends they would not seek to know your sins, but they would help you in repentance and coming back to God. They have no reason and no business in knowing your own private sins.

  • [quote author=K-man link=topic=13328.msg155964#msg155964 date=1337880832] I must disagree. If He exists, I see no reason there should not be solid arguments as to why or how we know, and how we know His identity (if they can dismantled by counterarg…
  • It is good that you are all discussing about research, science and proof, etc. but one very important thing is missing. You will never understand God or His Creation unless you read what He has given you, with an open mind. And we will never underst…
  • [quote author=zandali link=topic=9784.msg155773#msg155773 date=1337405672] You obviously speak from a Christian perspective, but its incredibly arrogant to say that you've got the monopoly on the truth, and that everyone else is wrong. I think God a…
  • why would you want to throw it away? I'm sure someone gave them to you for a reason. They must be useful. READ THEM!
  • [quote author=Copticandproud link=topic=13320.msg155715#msg155715 date=1337309036] More than a lifetime. [/quote] Definitely. Just knowing the names of all the hymns and at what occasion they are said is a hard enough task.
  • Someone mentioned earlier that if you know God's commandments and stick to them then you should be fine.  But there is much more to Christian life than that. You said yourself: [quote author=Thanks be to God Always link=topic=13242.msg155099#msg15…

  • The Jesus prayer begins with "My Lord" therefore it is Pachois not Epchois
  • Matthew 15:11 "Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.” I'm not saying that we should go seeking halal food to eat, but I personally don't think we are sinning or worshiping the god of islam …
  • The story continues by saying that the disciples came back to Jesus (John 4:31) and that Jesus and His disciples stayed with the Samaritans for 2 days (John 4:40). In those 2 days, Jesus preached to them and the people of Sychar believed that He is …
  • [quote author=Margaret link=topic=13226.msg154984#msg154984 date=1335456194] Hi Kalsam, The Eastern Orthodox church teaches that it is "being in God's presence but since the person has rejected him it becomes unbearable".  I have read references to…
  • The word "Pascha" in Coptic, comes from the Hebrew word "Pasakh" which means "Passover".
  • [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=13190.msg154760#msg154760 date=1334788010] I think the only litany that probably doesn't apply to us, in the US, now as much as it did in previous years (maybe even until 30 years ago) would be the Litany for th…
