Hey Mary, Here is a link to the Text of the hymn as well. http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?a=view&id=142 I have the hymn from the Trinity CD, if you need it, let me know

I believe we can talk about the cross for hours and we still wont' be done. ý I love the Doxology of the Cross that goes on to say "The cross is our pride, our ýsalvation, our hope, etc..."ý St. Paul says about the cross that it is ignorance to the …

Icons also give send a message about that perons' life. It kinda like discribing an event in the form of a picture. Setting an example, not what the person look like but what he did. For example, take the Icon on the first page of this site of the t…

As some of you know me by now, I like to add in my 2 cents every once in a while. Here ýthey are:ý someone told me about that (which is different than copticsingles.com that has all kinds ýof people on there). So basically this is the same way that…

Youstina,ý I think your friend is lucky to have you and she is blessed to have someone care for her ýspiritual being. God Bless you for your efforts. The verse you mentioned is if someone ýdoes you wrong. From what I understand, she didn't harm you …

From what I remember correctly, Any rank of deaconship can be married, but they can't ýget re-married if his wife dies (like a priest) Also, if he gets ordained before getting ýmarried he can't get married. ý For example, A young man gets ordained a…

Here is the analogy that brought it closer to me.ý A human being is Body, Mind (thought) and Emotions (feelings) (you can also say Body, ýsoul and spirit) both work.ý A dead body has no Thought and no emotions. You can't have emotions and thought ýw…

Copt4life, Amen to that!!! lol You see, the problem (one of many) with the catholic church is they went thru that phase that said "No one can understand the Bible, so NO ONE is allowed to read or interpret the Bible". And we see the error of thier w…

Every Sin will be forgiven to mankind. Assuming they repent and confess. 2 sins ýhowever will NOT be forgiven, Blaspheming against the Holy Spirit (Basically denying ýthe work of the Holy spirit in our lives) and Suicide. You can't repent when you a…

Servant, that was awesome. ý I just want to add that, as servant mentioned, we are weak but we should NOT lose faith. ýGod understands our weakness and knows our limits better than we know them. We are ýhumans and sometimes we can only bear so much…
-
marmooraa,ý Interesting question. I can see why people think that life is not worth living (I think ýeveryone, I included) can see that at one point in time if not more. One thing that I ýrealized is if I live for myself only, I will not see a life …

One verse to sum it all: "Be faithful untill death and I will give you the crown of life" Just my 2 cents

Guys,ý I would like to share a story with you that somewhat relates to the topic. I read it in a ýbook somewhere, It was nice to read and kinda stuck to my mind. I read it in Arabic, so I ýam doin the best I could to translate.ý This guy, some layma…
-
marina,ý Interesting topic. Both go hand in hand, I think it is wrong and dangerous to put ýsignificance on the one verses the other. There are scientists out there that start out to ýprove that religion is a hoax and that God doesn't exist. They re…

Two of my FAVORITE books: Paradise of the fathers The release of the spirit by H.H. Pope Shenouda. For those of you who never heard of the first, it is the collection of wisdom thru stories about the Coptic church fathers, thier lives, their sayin…

I know how you feel man, We are all so ashamed when we go to talk to our father of confession (that is a good thing because you start to realize that what your doing is wrong) but don't let that shame stop you. Another Idea is to maybe find another …
-
OstazaCoptic,ý I see why you are confused. There is a difference between knowing what will happen and ýcausing something to happen. For example, when my nephew started walking, we knew ýhe will fall, we didn't destine him to fall, we knew what will …

Oh, one more thing about his speech deficiency (if it does exist) One of America's ýGreatest Presidents was crippled Francis D. Roosevelt. He stayed in office longer than ýanybody else and was able to pull the US out of the worst economical downfal…
-
Marianne,ý You bring up an important and a much debated topic. Predestination. ý The Coptic does not believe in predestination. Let me give you an example just to ýillustrate how things work. this is a very limited example to God's ability, but it h…

Again, while this is NOT a spiritual topic, however this is an open forum. ý We all have to understand that our political standing is our own opinion, It has no ýrelevance to our salvation. ý Having said that, I have a methodology that I live by, f…

ServantOfJesus, Couldn't have said it better myself. I believe I posted this before, but I will say it again. When Jesus spoke about signs of the end of the world, He couldn't have given more general signs, (Famins, earthquakes, wars, rumors of wars…

Ahmed, Welcome to the site. I hope you didn't get offended by what aad said (aad, that is not a christian way of talking to people. Ahmed didn't say anything wrong, we should respect him) The questions you pose are important, don't know if this is…

When God put together a plan for our salvation, He came down for two reasons. One to be crucified, and the second to give us a way of life. He wanted to prepare the way before His comming. He did that buy setting aside the Jews, His choosen people a…

Rina, Abouna doesn't talk to no souls, that is funny though. However, in most cases before the institute (when he tells the story of how Jesus instituted the Holy communion for us; the narritive) he is usually talking to God "You have not abondonded…

Crazycopt, They call it the Holy Lot. But I heard that Pope Shenouda stopped that practice or changed it. anybody knows anything about this?

the Devil is not OUR enemy, he is God's enemy. We love OUR enemies, but hate God's. Does this make sense?

Guys, thought I would let you know. There is a new website dedicated to the Armanious Family. Here is a link: http://www.armaniousmemorial.org/

Probably not real, just contemplations. (if you know otherwise, please correct me)

Marianne, Right on the MONEY. Excellent job with the translation. It is an interesting story too.

actually, other than the shovelling and slippery conditions, it is rather beautifull to wake up and see everything covered in white.
