Thank you Father Peter I will listen to them. God bless your ministry. GBU

May the Lord grant them His grace and His support. His will be done. GBU

If possible try not to discuss this without the Bible because it's like putting you in a confrontation almost helpless with your hands tied. In the Gospels there are eye witness accounts of the Lord's Glorious Resurrection with Him appearing to the …

ilovesaintmark, This is a lovely and deeply touching word you wrote for HH Pope Sheouda III. Allow me to join with all of you on this occasion to congratulate HH and to pray asking God for his well being and for the protection of the COC. GBU

Amen, mabsoota. Thanks to all who pray and fast for the churches in difficulty. EDIT: I have just heard from a friend that HH Pope Shenouda III may have cancelled the ceremony for the 39th anniversary of his Papacy to express the COC's mourning and…

May be it's a late reply... I think these are important points you'd honestly ask yourself about: - Have you asked God for wisdom, for His guidance and His blessing for your feelings? - Have you ever contemplated marriage before? How? - Do you thin…

Now don't say that... You are a very spiritual and a zealous person for Christ, in fact we all learn a lot from your good threads. I find it difficult for me to have this lucid and practical approach to important subjects the way you do, you've got…

I found that the rapid arrow prayer when said every now and then during the day with keeping the image of Christ live in the mind helps a lot to repel sinful thoughts and evil drives. GBU

Thank you Zoxsasi, the Sacrament of Repentance is beautifully explained. GBU

Hi Zoxsasi, I find great guidance from these verses: Matthew 5 43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate y…

Zoxsasi, I am not attacking you it's just a discussion OK? As for the word shabka we do not see it from the same cultural perspective you and I or as the Coptic in Egypt do. If it is a foreign idea to you then I'd like to explain the Coptic do not…
-
Zoxsasi, I am sure you're not a racist but your opinion may seem a bit colonial. Most oriental cultures have this 'dowry' (whatever it's called) as some kind of commitment gift to the bride and this helps to prove the seriousness of the marriage pr…

'European' and 'Arab' are not nationalities, are they? They are two of the big mankind groups that populate the Earth all of them being the descendants of the first man and woman Adam and Eve, who were created by God in His image. They do have very …

I was just querying why in the case of our current state that this mortal nature is passed from mother to child at birth but not the gift of baptism conferred on the mother by God. The gift of the Sacrament of Baptism was bestowed to the mother by G…

I like much ilovesaintmark's reply, also because there is the likely opportunity to meet again this person in the gym for example. Your belief should be the guide of your lifestyle and your speech. Undoubtedly such situations of peaceful confrontat…

The majority of people locally and worldwide officially refused the menace to the COC. There are also a lot of precautionary measures provided by the Egyptian security authorities. In last Wednesday's sermon HH Pope Shenouda III thanked God and expl…

Everything is in God's hands. Thank you Father Peter for your clear reply. Matthew 5:38-37 36 Nor shall you swear by your head, because you cannot make one hair white or black. 37 But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes,’ and your ‘No,’ ‘No.’ For whatever is mo…

You are welcome. Another idea for the youth versions: to keep the Saints stories in their context, then to explain in the end how to simply implement applicable things in relation to our modern daily life, with characters wearing a modern costume f…
-
We should pray and present our difficulties to the Lord of Hosts asking Him to solve the situation with His grace and according to His will. I think what HH meant is that we should not engage in noisy or unwise discussions with disrespectful or agit…

GODlovesme, For the young it is OK to simplify to some extent but you know how kids are now capable to assimilate and have a vivid imagination, the unusual has also the advantage to be memorized. In the case of Church kids they will appreciate more…

General but useful info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gospel_of_Thomas The Refutation of All Heresies by Hippolytus mentions it: http://books.google.com/books/p/pub-9632288571543958?id=fqQcbl3t0kAC&pg=PA102&dq=Gospel+of+Thomas&cd=5#v=on…

Congratulations may God bless your work. GBU

Hi, I'd suggest that trying to use low budget costumes and one background per story would enhance more the authenticity and make the historical context clearer to the audience, unless you just want to extract the spiritual lessons for practical mod…

Truthsetsfree, Thank you so much for your kindness. Let us all join daily in prayers to Our Lord Jesus Christ for the safety of our COC and HH Pope Shenouda III. May He expose the evil plans against us everywhere and protect us all. Amen. GBU

Last night at like 9 or 8 a picture of Saint Mary started to weep holy oil. deaconmark123 Do you have the link? Thanks. GBU

Is it related to this news? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-11668634 GBU

@Truthsetsfree I noticed your previous forum name was God is love, this didn't surprise me. I apologize to you as a brother, I sincerely want to reconcile with you. I'd kiss your forehead as our local custom symbolic gesture of peace and true apolo…

@Truthsetsfree incredible amount of religious extremism (both in Christian and Muslim Egyptians: and I'm not saying this out of any kind of dispicable political correctness, I'm stating a fact, and whether christian hatred and extremism was caused a…

You're welcome :) Let me know if you need anything I'll try to help. GBU

anba bola, You're right there are many converters to EPUB, one is free: Calibre http://calibre-ebook.com/ There is also an (almost) free program that can read PDF files on iPhone, iPod touch and iPad. GoodReader by Good.iWare http://www.goodiware.…
