Thank you guys so much, it really means a lot. Thanks for the encouraging words and please, keep the prayers coming A family friend had some oil that tamav Irini had given her, while tamav was in the hospital....they call it 'zait el elohowy', the …

thank you! that makes things so much clearer =). Someone used this as a point to show a contradiction in the bible. But theres no contracdiction at all ;)

amazing. Enjoy!

I read this message from one of my friend's blog things..and I thought it was a really nice way of looking at things...she said: "Dont u HATEEE working hard for something.. and then not getting the results for it?I think the worst feeling is when …

I find it very ironic that they are telling you that in Christianity women are not respected, seeing as on many accounts women in the Islamic faith were equated to donkeys or were "sub-men" in many aspects (worship, education, domestic rights...just…

you're quite observant. lol But anyways thats such a small difference it doesnt change the fundamentals of the story. The different writers may have counted differently...?

Communion is a 'Holy Mystery', its not intended for our limited, human mind to fully understand GOD and His mysteries. I also heard this story from a priest in Egypt (its pretty crazzzy): There was a woman who's child was very sick (she was not …

Lion King rocks my socks ! :D

I think its so important to tell your potential spouse about these things cuz that could change the whole realm of the relationship. I don’t want to sit and hear about all his relationship cuz that’s unnecessary and can actually be harmful. However,…

jeez relax there superman, i was just bringing up an important point to this discussion

I dont think Saddam repented...come on, his last words were "ya ilahy il allah Mohammad rasool Allah"
-
oh i guess i was misinformed on that...thanks for clarification; but it still doesnt change my opinion. I agree with copticchica in that - although we shouldnt play God...some sort of justice must be served. Whether thats torture, imprisonment, deat…
-
Politically speaking I think it was unjustifiable to kill Saddam, since he received punishment under American law. However, I do think he deserved it - i know, we're not in the position to judge- but he killed thousands of people and no justice w…

wowww...if only the deacons at my church can sing it like thaaat.... :P; 'tis beautiful, thanks for sharingg

As much as i hate to admit it vassilios has a point here. However, the only reason muslims may come off as more strict or devout is because their religion is based on fear. They fear their God, whereas our God is compassionate and plenteous in mercy…

thats soo awesome...did she wanna adopt the whole time or was it because she couldnt have children of her own? catch me if u can...u're right it definetly takes patience, and you have to treat them like they are your own children cuz u will be resp…
-
That would be awesome if you actually have the will to take these children in and provide a loving nurturing home for them. Our church is definetly not against it..."The least you do to the least of my brothers, you do unto me.", remember?

I think rebelling and wanting to stand out in the crowd plays a big role in it too. People like to try new things even unnatural and immoral things; they want to go out and "explore" their sexuality. You are not born gay by the way; too many peopl…

The church will not marrry a man or a woman who has cheated on their spouse. The church will give them a divorce, but the cheater will not be given the choice to re-marry. This is because they have defiled the sanctity and holiness of marriage.
-
I dont think these "coptic men" need to worry about rejection...coptic guys r good guys; generally speaking. They have good morals and ethics (which other guys may lack) . Dont sit there and gravol at someone's feet... Instead, wait for the girl tha…

His name is Abouna Yostos el Antoni...rigght? cuz he stayed in St. Anthony's monastary??

ooooh...is he the monk thats always asking "el sa3a kam?" (what time is it?)
-
Feeling cut off from God is sometimes nothing but a clever illusion instigated by our spiritual enemy, the diabolically cunning, supernatural Deceiver. However, if that's not the case ...then you just have to focus on the passion of Christ! that …

no problem...im glad i helped :)

I guess we assume most Egyptians are quite closed minded when it comes to these issues...but they're not that bad. Like i asked my dad if i could marry a white/ black guy...just interested to see his response...and he said he wouldnt judge him base…
-
thats an awesome verse that can definetly be related to your situation. Im assuming it means you shouldnt get too caught up in the things you are asking from God, but simply tell God your request and leave it up to Him. Dont fret or get worrried ab…

im not too sure about St. Catherine's story actually, but here's some interesting stuff about the monastary if you get the chance to visit The monastery was built by order of the Emperor Justinian between 527 and 565 enclosing the Chapel of the Bur…
