Brigitte Gabriel obviously has her own agenda. As a Christian, she's sick of what Islam did to her and…
No, deacons when elevated technically have different duties. Hegumens and priests have no difference in duties and that goes for metropolitans and bishops. A metropolitan is technically "higher" in rank than a bishop but they have the same functions…
This is an excellent question really!! If you have any books by HH or fathers about subjects of Kiahk or fasting in general they would be great to read during this time. Also some projects you can do can have to do with your church. Go talk to your …
I was not yelling, i only meant for you to clarify what you didn't understand, i'm sorry if i came off that way but i was just asking what exactly is it you don't understand? There really are no gray spots in that, If you can for sure keep your prom…
Just because everyone is doing it doesn't mean its ok, like Tεκcoνι μέσα Πεχριcτoc quoted from Matthew, Let your yes be yes and your no be no, there is no gray spot saying only if you want to assure someone you can promise/swear/whatever. It said LE…
There is supposed to be midnight praises everyday of the year regardless of Kiahk or not. However, as mina said, there MUST be 4 weeks in kiahk, so when there won't be enough weeks, the last Sunday of Hatoor acts as the first of Kiahk. So simply, ye…
Thats why its best not to open topics like this after this has been discussed so many times...we are in no position to talk about it so there is no reason to discuss whether or not either of these priests are excommunicated or not. Let God be the ju…
Found this recently:
Humility
St Isaac of Syria
“I want to speak about humility, but I am afraid, as one who wants to speak about God. This is because humility is the garment that the Divinity wore when He appeared among us. For this reason, when …

Dgorgy61, this site was not meant as a means to meet new copts but a site to download hymns and to gain spiritually from the discussions, friendships may be made along the way but that is not(at least what i think) this site is meant for at all.
There is no set curriculum at what you should know. Singing hymns is a means of praising God. Take your time there is no rush and you can always learn. As long as you are singing with your heart and you UNDERSTAND what you are chanting then it will …
PopeKyrillos is correct, this is very heretical. As he said by saying we need to go to purgatory first denies Christ complete work of salvation for the entire human race as if it were not enough. They don't believe in a paradise or hades and therefo…

I think you felt this way because you weren't reading the agpeya, its because you were actually using it as a prayer. You felt what most dream of feeling. So now that you know how it feels, just keep doing it the same way you did when you felt that …
