OK people...hold on 'cuz this is a long but beautiful story.... Our wonderful church actually retraces Christ's life on three levels...the DAILY...the WEEKLY...and the YEARLY...the yearly is of course well understood...that is...the beshara...then …

This is tricky ppl....well...I know this is really confusing because ur Dad is the only priest in the area...(looks like there is only one church in the area)...and u HAVE to confess...but then what? I would strongly suggest you talk with the Bisho…
-
As it was said...a monk/nun is a person who dies from this world...but it's not being selfish when one chooses to die from the world...that's not being selfish...that's being acutely aware of what may hinder his/her path to heaven... Monasticism is…

My dearest brothers and sisters: Just a quick comment...the monastery is not a factory for holiness...it is a hospital for those who are extremely in Love with God and those who can't take enough of Him...those who really love Him and wanna gi…

Look...I'm a small guy in these matters everyone...but this I know... It's everyone's OWN fault that he/she decides to leave the site....NO ONE....allow me to repeat this....NO ONE of the administrators persecuted or harrassed ANYONE because of…

MarMar91: I'm very sorry for being very picky on words....but there's a difference between FOR them and WITH them....FOR is definitely YES...absolutely because you love them and want them to live what u're living...WITH is a completly differe…

I must definetly agree...God only knows why He doesn't want to let us confess to something at a particular instant...but that's one of the main reasons... What's important is...well...tell Him that you really want to confess and prepare urself a …

For intercessions...there area a lot of verses.... Remember in Revelation, when the angel held a "shooriya" and it was filled with incense that was the saints' prayers? In the letter to the Hebrews (or the first one to the Corinthians...I don't r…

My dearest friends: Mr. Iqbal...please correct me if I'm wrong, but our coptic orthodox church is one of LIFE...NOT a philosophical brain game...what I mean is, we don't just pitch verses against each other as if they were bombs...or patrolog…

MarMar91...well I fully understand and I know youd on't have a choice and yes...public schools there are a mess I've heard....so yes, these Catholic schools are better are NOTHING.... The point is...whenever, during these four years, you feel as i…
-
In a way I did ya Marmar...or maybe I read their books...but I'm sure of what I'm saying....praying for intercessions is different than praying to a person without sins....anyways...look...it's your say in the end...but I'm asking if u change school…
-
By the way...God does forgive....but not before a true confession is performed because simply the priest takes up ur confessions to the sanctuary where it is forgiven and the person cured from its effects by the Holy Spirit...I know this sounds wier…

Ring him over the phone...not for absolution of course (OVER the phone?? Gimme a break!) but for telling him flatly, as a daughter to her father, that u don't have time father...so can u find me more time??? The other father is in New Jersey which i…

"Christ4Life"...small addition...it's not "churchy" person, but not a deep person in Christ...may God be with you and ur brother... "U_Stole_my_name" (can u please tell me ur real name man? :) ) look....we have this saying in Arabic that goes "Ka…

[quote author=MarMar91 link=board=10;threadid=1896;start=15#msg29902 date=1120173048] uhh, excuse me? praying is talking to God, no ifs ands or buts.... I'm very sorry Marmar91....but that is SOOOOOO wrong...once again....talking to God is NOT a eu…
-
I'm sorry...Abouna WHO? and how? Praying is not a euphoric feeling....it's not that everybody there is holding hands and singing Kumbayah...alright? Ask some other Abouna, or read the Pope's church opinion about it...it's a long story, but it's n…
-
u_stole_my_name...very nive question...well...Christianity doesn't change...and please please don't bring in the example of Catholics in the Middle Ages...tell me why they fought Muslims in the name of Christ although NOBODY in the name of Christ di…

I definetly agree Marina....athough I wasn't that tense in my last post here...I'm breathin' don't worry... Just talk to him...or more likely since he isn't the guy to say "I love u" outta the blue, well...tell ur father confessor FIRST...then I g…

BY the way people....I am not mad at ALL come on...:D:D u_stole_my_name...please try to understand me...these are NOT sweeping statements...besides...u're right in all what u're saying, if you can actually and truly live these examples, except sch…
-
Well...anything that does not ultimately serve he bigger purpose of glory to God and the spread of his church and "malakoot" by our actions is considered vain and empty...because it is empty of God...in ur example Mark...i's great that u get to know…
-
There is nothing called extreme in Christianity...we are NOT A PHILOSOPHY OR A WAY OF THOUGHT...we live a way of life given by the LORD through His church...what I mean is...it's not that it's extreme...it's just that these people try to be very fai…

Who gave you the right to say such a thing...well...to tell you the truth, for every one who is two-faced...u'll find a lot who aren't....A LOT. It's not secular and non-secular music or movies or whatever...it's just that...well...if something take…

Well ya Marina....bishoy actually asked a good question...if ur age is small, and u're still in college and unsure of how ur work life'll be...well...just tell him naturally that we're just friends and that's it! Problem is, the boy might not be tha…
-
Well...basically...I can think of little reasons to listen to such stuff, but I can think of a lot of reasons NOT to! You know what? Our father and mother saints did NOT listen to such stuff when they were sung by magless el moztahz2een or at any t…

Let me emphasize on that last point....please please do not take half the story and remove the other half....yes, marriage is a sacrement and is holy....but it is for those who CANNOT live the life of earthly angels (monks)....thus is marriage bad? …

Well then...I hope we all learn from this excellent discussion....The answer to this question is really simple...as a general rule...do NOT go through this alone...I mean, there has to be somebody older and more experienced than you in the way to Go…

Hello everyone.... Well...there are two types of sacrements....the critical ones, ones you MUST LIVE BY...such as Baptism, Myron, Eucharist, Confession...the other three you can or cannot live by..according to the need of yourself and/or the church…

My dearest brothers and sisters....first of all, I am very proud of our mother church outside Egypt...how it hugs and cherishes all its children...and how they grow in Christ under her loving care, as inside Egypt.... Let me tell you Pope Shenouda'…
