Last week my religion teacher asked "Do you think that someone can live a normal, happy, and healthy life without ever having sex?" and of course, the immediate answer was "NO!!!" They think that's why priest's rape little boys...and they think it m…

Keep yourself occupied. The busier you are, the less time you have to think about doing this sin. Also, try and keep a picture of saints or something near by, because then it will feel like they're always watching you and you won't want to do it lol…
Just out of curiosity, have you talked to your FOC about it? Because I'm 100% sure he has a lot of good advice to give lol...better then all of ours put together!
Peace and God Bless!
The only solution I can think of (which is my solution to everything lol) is try e-mailing another priest. I know it's not the same, but you can get advice from another priest, and ask your Abouna to pray the absolution on you...I don't really know …
love4all....I'm interested in dropping out and living under a bridge... ;D
To gurl-servant, talking to your FOC helps because he is so wise, he always has the right things to say. Imagine how many people have been to him with the same problem, he's …
Youstina...I think maybe your teacher needs to study his religion more before he tries to teach you guys about it! I find the same thing with my religion teacher, like she tried to tell us that St. Mary had other kids after she had Jesus. I don't re…
I thought it was really confusing...I thought I was the only one who thought that because I was watching with my brother and he didn't seem confused lol. But is this supposed to be like what's going to happen when the end of the world comes? It's ha…
I found this....
"If we inadvertently forget to confess a sin when we confess to our spiritual father, are we still forgiven for that sin through the absolution?
Our beloved Coptic Church has always encouraged its faithful to confess all sins. If …
You guys could just PM each other lol...
'Sin', you don't have to feel that ashamed that you have to lie to us. We won't judge you because we are all sinners. After all, Jesus said "...He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at …
A Father of Confession is a priest you go to so you can confess, reveal your thoughts, get advice, or just talk to them. He's the spiritual guide in your life. He should really know everything about you so that way he can help you more...I'm not sur…

AMEN! I listened to some of Abouna Anthony's sermons on www.coptichymns.net ... truly amazing, especially …
First off, I'm really happy that you want to stop, and that you're seeking forgiveness. That is the first step towards anything. If you don't live near a Coptic Orthodox church, why don't you try to contact a priest by some other way? That is, if yo…

Kind of weird because he lives in CANADA! That school is not too far from mine...maybe like 5 minutes driving. I have been going to a Catholic school my whole life, and I really like it. At least I'm getting some sort of religious background outside…
