I have a question that is slightly off topic...
During the midnight praises (tasbeha) we commemorate the saints and we ask for their intercession and prayers.
For example we ask: St. Mary, the angels, and st john the baptist to name a few to "interc…

Another thing is identify situations that you feel most tempted in. Is it when you are alone in front of your computer? Is it when you are taking shower? Is it when you …
the way I got involved, and involve others as well is by learning to play the symbols and triangle. I find it an excellent way of getting them involved in tasbeha one way or another. By telling them you will teach them how to play motivates them and…

To be honest I can relate. I teach Gr. 1 and 2. and i have children who run around the classroom and who tend to all of a sudden get hyper-active and try to impress the other children. And they would be disrepectful when praying. I personally didn't…
We are all talking about the same church, if you follow "roberto123's" websites they should lead you to more information on how it was built. The church is named ofter the Virgin and it's not standing on pillars alone. Only the nave (where the congr…
A verse in the Bible explains it all, Luke 11:34.
"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness."
Think of your eye as a camer…
Yawning is caused by a lack of oxygen to the blood. So it is believed that you yawn because you are bored and tired which then gets you breathing slower and then you yawn.
My suggestion would be try to pray when you are a bit more energized than b…
Most likely this is the church that Dutch-Copt (roberto123) was refering ur attention to. At one point water flooded old Babylon Fortress inwhich the hanging church was built on.
Thank you "vassilios", "Anglian" and "Coptic boy" for your response. I will use all your advices and knowledge to prepare myself. I definitely knew that we don't believe in "mother God".
Thanks again and pls pray for me :)

Thank you "Κηφᾶς" So correct me if i am wrong, whenever it says bride in the Holy Bible, it is always refering to the Church?
if so...ok...let's say I say Church, she says mother. How do we as Coptic Christians understand the word "bride" to mean "…
Thanks "jydeacon"...
yea i told her that Our and Us refers to the Holy Trinity, but we both agreed that they are ONE, thus would not be referred as Us or Our. I had a feeling that Our and Us is the Holy Trinity, but is there any proof of that in th…
A little extra dose of medicine from the Holy Bible:
1 John 4
"Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world."
... and St John goes on to say,
"...and e…
Torab...Let me firstly say your english is not to be ashamed of, you type well.
Secondly, I am weak, and i am only suggesting.
My suggestion is that you pray for your friend, that God may direct him to the right path, and my second suggestion is to…
hey,
i think you mean the Holy Pimoly DVD.
You can find it in Coptic book stores online such as the site:

or you can probably find it at your church book store too.
1 John 4: 1-3
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits, whether they are of God; because many false prophets have gone out into the world.
By this you know the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come …

just to clearify, one of the reasons that Jesus mentions this verse is to tell us that we are all with sin. Meaning that we shouldn't judge others.
We all sin, so we should take the "plank" from our own eyes before we take the "speck" from our broth…
