  • I had a spiritual father for 1 week. Then he blocked me on facebook and somehow blocked my phone number. I will refrain from sharing what I had said that prompted that, but needless to say, I need a spiritual father.
  • [quote author=user157 link=topic=12818.msg150540#msg150540 date=1326744153] Im getting disturbed from my posts and it probably makes it harder to concentrate on other important things in life. I think I'm going to give up seeking answers but I wonde…
  • Protestants think that their teachings are apostolic because they derive them from scripture. This however is false. If nobody in the early church, including the disciples of the apostles, taught any protestant doctrine, how then can protestantism e…
  • Thanks guys! thebooss20, not one of my family even speaks arabic, let alone lives in Egypt lol. I mean I guess I could ask my church, but I have no idea when I will be out of the hospital with my daughter.

  • [quote author=Joshuaa link=topic=9818.msg150479#msg150479 date=1326668958]   Then I hope the priests acceptance rubs off on to him and he accepts our Lord.   I noticed he has the words 'The things you own end up owning you' under the picture of…
  • [quote author=Joshuaa link=topic=9818.msg150470#msg150470 date=1326621924]   He is tolerated at the church he attends by the priests there, so his heart cannot be totally dismissive of christian teachings. I'm sure if he had or has changed anyones …
  • Joshuaa, in Gabriels rationalistic post-modern mind, everything is a contradiction. Remember a fool has said in his heart, there is no God. Can we expect Gabriel to understand anything outside of his own foolishness?
  • [quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=9818.msg150427#msg150427 date=1326537407] Ioannes,           believe it or not I have reflected on what you've said, well at least the first few times i've been accused of having ulterior motives. I've conclud…
  • [quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=12804.msg150421#msg150421 date=1326520774] [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=12804.msg150420#msg150420 date=1326519512] I am having a difficult time finding books on Abu Sefein/St Philopater Mercurius as well as i…

  • Gabriel, you are certainly an angry person. Please leave the site.

  • Unlike PeterA, I am against you posting on this site. I know that all you do is debate at church. I know you question the authenticity of scripture. All you want to do is debate there, so I know what you want to do here.
  • This guy thinks he is cool and thinks he is making a good point, but fails on all levels.

  • [quote author=geomike link=topic=12797.msg150356#msg150356 date=1326426357] [quote author=Ioannes link=topic=12797.msg150355#msg150355 date=1326426042] Protestantism is about the self, therefore protestant worship is self worship. They create a god …
  • Generally if more than one person levels an accusation against you, you should examine yourself. Your very being here is an ulterior motive. What purpose could you possibly have other than sowing seeds of doubt amongst people of this site you are pr…
  • Protestantism is about the self, therefore protestant worship is self worship. They create a god they are comfortable with. They believe what they want Christianity to be NOT what Christianity is. This is lawlessness which Christ speaks of in Mt 7:22
  • [quote author=Christs' servant link=topic=12797.msg150347#msg150347 date=1326424251] I should've been more clear. Whenever there's tasbeha in church and I invite most of my friends to come they adamantly refuse, they say they don't 'enjoy it'. I t…
  • If you desire music that glorifies worldly living, then you do not desire God. If you desire music that puts God under your feet and attacks His church, then you do not desire God. It is that simple. Why do you desire to be a part of something tha…
  • Gabriel,             I think I have proven my point here. You are only causing debate, as I would if I joined an online atheist forum. What am I accusing you of? Causing problems, as evidenced in this thread. You cause arguments on a site made for …
  • No these are not acceptable. Remember what PROTESTant means! They reject everything we deem necessary for salvation. If they reject the church, they reject Christ. You would not go to an Arian concert or Nestorian concert would you?
  • Gabriel,           There is truly no purpose for you being here or in church. You may experience acceptance wherever you attend church, but then again you may act differently there or give the impression that you are interested in converting, or s…
  • Gabriel, if you do not believe in God then what is your purpose on this site?
  • There are a lot of these types of stories. First it was these erroneous stories of people dying and seeing a light and going to heaven. Then those got old and a book was published "A Divine Revelation of Hell" which tried to scare people into believ…
  • Gabriel, you do not believe in God?
  • [quote author=user157 link=topic=12779.msg150054#msg150054 date=1325912215] Are we going to follow this? [/quote] There are such things as stupid questions....just letting you know.
  • Untrue. You do not have to want to believe in God for you to eventually come to the belief that God exists. There is plenty of evidence to support faith in God.
  • The bible says? You mean Christ said?
  • Its the same body of Christ in both EO and OO.
