Thank you so much for the explanation, makes sense now! :)
No worries, no offense was taken by the usage of anatomical terms- I am in the medical field.
I am not sure if its appropriate to ask through this medium but was the circumcision of femal…
Thanks Remenkimi! :)
Forgive my ignorance, I have heard the term "uncircumscript" used to describe our Lord before but I also don't know what that means in a Spiritual sense.
I learned that the loose sandal comes from this biblical reference:
Luke 3:16
"John answered, saying to all, “I indeed baptize you with water; but One mightier than I is coming, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to loose. He will baptize you with…
Hi everyone,
I would like to thank you all for your prayers. I really really appreciate it. God has finally showed me results. He also taught me a few lessons through out the process by forcing me to be patient
Thank you all for your prayers. Than…
I am not aware of the difference and I have not listened to the recordings. However, I have learned the standard for hymns is the Higher institute and to always learn from them.
Please correct me if I am wrong for my benefit and those of others.

Thank you IloveJesus. I will do my best. The release of the Spirit is one of my favorite books, read through it several times. It is a treasure.
Thanks you Coptic Strength for sharing the beautiful excerpt from the book of St. Augustine.
Thank y…
Thank you IloveJesus.
I agree in all that you have said, but unfortunately I don't know how to live the knowledge of it. I have lost a lot of my faith and I don't know how to get it back. I don't know how to just leave things in the hands of the …
Thank you Marmar for Anba Youseffs responses.
Thank you Copticproud for your prayers.
Thank you gr for the lovely link.
I love the verse George, but it has been a LONG time and the morning bearing joy has not come yet. I am losing more faith as m…
Thanks Pharaoh714.
Surely David has felt like this at one point but the difference is that he has faith, I am losing/lost that right now.. I have been like this for a while, not just a couple days type thing.
Bible verses very much appreciated, may…

My feelings/thoughts EXACTLY. I wish I know why He is doing t…
When our reposed father HH Pope Shenouda was asked about where he is happy. He said, I am always happy. Happiness is an internal thing and nothing external whether it be location or circumstances can influence the state of happiness in my heart. He …
Happiness is achieved through a life of thanksgiving (genuinely). Thank God about every little thing in your life because they may seem little but many people lack that very thing you leave unnoticed. Take the focus off the things you dont have and …

I hope somebody else can help you with the text for this song in English.
You'll do great! I wish you the best! :)
God willing the exam will be the things you studied with the prayers of Pope Kyrillos and all the choir of the saints.

Take it from a person who's talked gay kids out of suicide:
Suicide doesn't end suffering. It is suffering that starts even more suffering, both for your own soul and for yo…
I had the same thing happen to me two times. There was a girl in my class that made every effort to talk to me but like you out of fear I avoided her at all costs. I hear all the crazy stories from Egypt about girls getting kidnapped, drugged, and f…
Unworthy1,
Thank you sooo much for your help. I have so much to learn and try to implement. I have a couple questions, In order for visitations to be successful, is it mandatory that all the servants of the class be present or can one servant do the…
Copticyouth, I will stop responding. This is a fruitless discussion and its only going in circles. I also remember your previous post and read most of the discussion there. You have been given all the answers, I have nothing to say or add. Now, its …
Thanks JG, I couldn't have said it better. I have a couple of comments to add

Hi Stavroforos,
thanks for the comment! The biblical perspective isn't necessarily disregarded it should just be given less of a priority over th…
Why is the Bible disregarded and the topic is preferred to be discussed in a 'humanitarian' perspective?
To accept Christ, we accept His Words. All of it, not bits and pieces according to our liking. We can't be part-time Christians. I am not close…
Ilovesaintmark,
I understand where you are coming from on many points that you have made and I agree with much of what you have spoken. However, like unworthy1 said those deacons don't exist. There is no example to follow or known beginner steps to …
