Dear 'Luke'... I believe 'Coptic Soldier' was only joking... if he wasn't ... we'd all be dead by now!! (God forbid!) I think CS was right about the sacrificing bit... I am not sure if this has been posted twice... Somehow I posted a response to …

Yeah... Maybe not to the same extent as you guys are describing... but here as well...Egyptian means Muslim! They might not know what Coptic Orthodox means but...luckily though, after explaining to people that I'm CHRISTIAN they understand! (I h…

George, This is an excellent topic! Being from 'down-under' (Australia) as well... it would be nice to know how the Coptic Orthodox Church is going - around the world! Mark, I've got to say, you have quite a sense of humour... but I was pretty s…

Thankyou Andrew for your kind words, we are all here to help each other... God Bless You Also... fhhanna, I am not sure i know which magazine that is! I would really like to see what it is, or even just the article... i hope i'm not troubling you…

Hi Andrew, I would love to help... but i am not sure what you mean by "FREEDOM". Do you mean the Coptic Orthodox View on our "free will" - meaning how "free" we are to do what we want? or what? If that's what you're interested in...then the Book …

That's exactly right 'Fadyna33'!!! We shouldn't be concentrating on making our prayer sound nice, instead we should conentrate on making our prayer sincere and faithful!! :) Even a short prayer like: "Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on …

Dear Mark! That is Exactly the right attitude to have ;D, i couldn't agree with you more! Well done! ;) God Bless you!

Dear Brothers and sisters in Christ, I feel that i need to explain a few things... :D Firstly, i would like to clarify that as i have said above, "Christmas shoud be a time of Unity, but we should hold on to our traditions!!", i am happy to CELEBR…

Thanks Mark, It's nice to know that i'm not alone! :). God Bless You!

The replies here are all very good and helpful! :) I just have one comment: I notice that if i am praying something from memory, i sometimes concentrate on saying it right instead of contemplating on what i am actually saying... this makes my pray…

Dear Samuel Gerges, That was an Excellent decision you made, and perhaps the best decision possible in a situation like that! You see, when people 'speak fouly of Christ' if we as Christians were to respond EMOTIONALLY or PHYSICALLY we are not hel…

Wow! Thanks 'Banoub' and 'Mark423', They are really nice pictures... I've never seen or heard of these pictures before! :) When did the first one (Pope Shenouda?) happen? Was it in Egypt? Thanks for sharing these with us... If you or anyone else …
-
I agree with all of you!!! Christmas shoud be a time of Unity, but we should hold on to our traditions!! So what does that mean?... Celebrating Christmas should not be about what day you celebrate it on, instead it should be a joyous time where yo…

I also feel isolated celebrating Christmas on the 7th of January here in Australia. I agree with your notion of all Christians celebrating Christmas on the same day and I would love if the Coptic Church changed to the new calendar like the Greeks. M…

Hi 'SunBabyNJ', I am sorry i am not very confident about my understanding of the differences between Greek and Coptic Orthodoxy. There are many issues but as far as i know nothing is "TOO DIFFERENT" (i could be wrong! ???) . I DO KNOW that the marr…
-
That is a very good point you raised there! :) We tend to forget God when things are going well for us and we feel that we are in-control and feel "powerful". We only realise that we need God in times of "trials" and difficulties. We realise our tru…

Dear marmoora-barboora, I don't mean to sound critical, but i was very dissapointed to read a comment like that... There is NO QUESTION TOO "RIDCULOUS" that anyone of any age could ask when they want to learn... Especially this question! This que…

Hi George, I go to St. Demiana & St. Athanasius Church in Punchbowl. My brother and I share this computer, so we just share this user name (instead of logging on and off)... St. Mark's is a great church, have you ever been to St. Demiana's ??…

wow! I didn't know that statistic either!!! (thanks Peter)!!! 3.6 Million people!!! What wonderful news... It's always great to hear that in difficult situations people get closer to God instead of abandoning Him and either disbelieving in Him or …

I wish i could help you more, George, but all that i can remember is that she is also known as Queen Sheba, mentioned in 1Kings 10: 1-10... I don't know much about her other than she heard about how wise King Solomon was and travelled a long dist…

Hi George.... You asked me whether i am from Australia or not.... What i want to know, is What made you think that i was from Australia? - Because, YES! I AM!!! I am Australian... (Sydney) - are you? ;) About "Minrew"... All i'll say is that t…
-
Dear George, You have asked another wonderful question! :) This verse seems quite scary, and very harsh indeed...it seems a bit too easy to commit this dangerous sin and it is very alarming. Luckily for us...His Holiness Pope Shenouda III has an…

We have many responsibilities as Christians... do you mean responsibilities to others, to ourselves or to God or what? James Chapter 2 is a very Good resource for how we should live our lives as Christians... (thanks Marcleno! ;)) God Bless...

Thanks Abanoub! Well there you go Peter... this is probably the file you were looking for, and hopefully soon the Tasbeha.org administrators team will fix the link or rearrange the location of the file. Just remember to check back under articles s…

Hi, Do not worry about asking, that's what these forums are for... for us to learn from each other. And we ALL need to learn alot more, not just you. Most of all we should pray for each other that we grow in the faith and love of our Lord, God a…
