  • yea, if you don't have a bible, you can go to biblegateway.com specifically-http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=epistle John ;&version=50;
  • I don't think we do. But I know that most people get baptism names in our church. My name is already the name of one of the saints so i didn't get one. But my sister since she didn't have a Christian name at baptism, they gave her the name Rebecca u…
  • my name means "man". I like my name now, it fits me ;D PK
  • yes. i have something very freaky. It was the end of Good Friday, everybody left the church except for a few people (including myself) who were cleaning the church. Some people were upstairs putting up the white linens and some people were in the ch…
  • hey matthew, welcome to the site. I'm from the U.S.. long ways from London. Hope to see you post lots on the site. PK
  • hey resurection, We had this discusssion about two months ago. Here is the link. http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=6475.0 PK
  • I don't have any younger siblings (thank God), but if I did, I would probably just tell them to be careful with my stuff. I know for a fact that I did the opposite with my siblings lol. But seriously, tell him to be careful with your stuff and how h…
  • http://mx.youtube.com/watch?v=WV9v0zqPE-A i've been looking for the full video. Does anyone perchance have it?
  • Christrules, that's true, but I think the icon just wants to portray what is going to happen to Christ after the Eucharist. Remember that icons aren't like pictures, they have lots of symbols and meanings in them.
  • forgive me if i am wrong, but I think this icon depicts the event incorrectly. Wasn't it just St. Mary the mother of Christ present at pentecost, not all three Marys as the icon shows?
  • [quote author=Conqueror link=topic=6762.msg90806#msg90806 date=1213484910] Why does the Icon have 12 diciples and not 11? Im confused, does anyone know? [/quote] As far as the Last Supper, some of the icons have 11 and another guy a little to the s…
  • I've also been looking for things written by him. Repentance is given to man as grace after grace, for repentance is a second regeneration by God. That of which we have received in earnest by baptism, we receive as a gift by means of repentance. R…
  • I think that since nobody really knows you on this site really really well, nobody can't say you aren't a saint. Plus, all the saints say they are really bad people, so your excuse for not being one is just confirming you are one  ;D
  • Yea, it was on cnn last night. I was switching through the channels to find the lakers game and then on cnn, i thought i saw pope shenouda's face so i switched back and I was right. They were criticizing the egyptian officials because President Muba…
  • Festive Verses of the Cymbals, and aripamevi on Good Friday (kind of a hymn :D)
  • [quote author=josephgabriel link=topic=6731.msg90267#msg90267 date=1213203243] lol bentbabayasooa`... are you saying that I'm getting old? pray for me joe [/quote] i agree with that statement lol ;D
  • ok, that's freaky lol. I know it's a really good thing but kind of scary.
  • joseph, abouna does actually clap 4 times, once at each of the four corners of the altar table. Why he does that, I don't know.
  • that's very devastating. H.H. tells everyone to leave him alone at night so he can pray. One time a bishop walked in on him and he found angels around H.H. and many of the saints and the virgin Mary and Christ were also there. However, he could only…
  • you can also get one from amazon.com which is a little cheaper. http://www.amazon.com/Orthodox-Study-Bible-Ancient-Christianity/dp/0718003594/ref=pd_bxgy_b_img_a
  • the new orthodox study bible is new king james for new testament with commentaries on the bottom. The old testament is re-translated setpuagint (spelling) with commentaries on the bottom. However, the new orthodox study bible is reccomended over the…
  • hahaha Vas, wanted to stick up for the French instead of those terrifying Brits?  ;D
  • coptic pharaoh, I know all those languages too. Only I'm fluent in spanish-took AP spanish last year. As for Coptic, still learning that. I would say I'm a little past a beginner.
  • Vas and Hos Erof, pretty off topic but Hos Erof you're dutch and Vas you're french. How do you both know fluent english? Even here in America, we take foreign languages but it takes years of hard work to be fluent. So how is it that you both can spe…
  • I think it's pretty silly that the Orthodox Churches (Eastern and Oriental) are not in communion with each other. I'm quite glad you made the right decision in becoming orthodox whether eastern or oriental. The one reccomendation I have for you is t…
  • One of the church fathers speaks about his own personal experience with a woman who tried to seduce him. He said that he made her lose interest in him by talking about things she didn't care about or didn't like. I liked this story because you are n…
  • I just want to advise you Joe that when you go to Egypt, do not be put down by the weather!! Go everywhere you want to go and don't say that it's too hot. You'll regret it! I speak from experience :(
  • [quote author=josephgabriel link=topic=6694.msg89475#msg89475 date=1212659466] Lol Im going to Egypt to the family - will attend every tasbeha I can, will spend around 18 hours with the Muallem in total, I will give English lessons in the church in …
  • I'm 100% sure animals have spirits. They don't have souls however. As humans, our souls go to heaven or hell. Our spirits give us life on earth but die after our soul departs our body.
