  • I should of put is unity and is authorit least I sound like a protestant.
  • Above all, the Trinity represents unity while the Father represents authority and this is why the conflict.
  • Can you worship the one God and not know Him?
  • I agree with you in all but the last sentence Zoxsasi.     To quote what you said previously John 14: 6-7     6 Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. 7 "If you had known Me, you wou…
  • Sorry to discuss in third person Der.Ders question could of being: Is it ok to sin because he is implying his own boundaries in which those boundaries need explaination in what his faith should rely. We can then give him his independent reasons for …
  • We seek the spiritual unity with God and His wisdom in the way we act for we make a lot of mistakes, especially when we are young. It's the part of pride that we try to be successful, but there was no plan, so it didn't' see the consequences. Pleas…
  • Our Lord Jesus Christ will judge our salvation by the height of our love for Him. So a better question would be: Is my love for God enough that I would sacrifice imy sin for Him and wait until Marriage?
  • May You my Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on our brother and husband of a faithful wife whom seeks help for him and keep her strong in hope. Forgive me also if I have spoken with undue hast without wisdom. Lord have mercy Lord have mercy Lord hav…
  • Proverbs 15: 28-29 28 The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, But the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil. 29 The Lord is far from the wicked, But He hears the prayer of the righteous. I give thanks to you my Lord Jesus Christ for brin…
  • I am so glad for you venadouzul. It was the righteous choice you made, that who you are and your love for the Lord Jesus mattered so much. A funny thing happened to me today. A friend whom I work with me asked me if he won the 40 million, that i…
  • The Sacrament of Matrimony is unnecessary for eternal salvation and so there is more scope in which we can deal with problems.
  • Hi Remnkemi,In the verse you quoted Malachi 2:16    For the Lord God of Israel says That He hates divorce, For it covers one's garment with violence,"Says the Lord of Hosts. "Therefore take heed to your spirit, That you do not deal treacherously." …
  • May you be well rewarded for all your hard work and kept calm until you receive your results and that your future also is in the help of others in our Lord Jesus Christ.
  • Acts 17: 29-30 29 "Therefore, since we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Divine nature is like gold or silver or stone, something shaped by art and man's devising.30 "Truly these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now co…
  • Yes the Oriental and Eastern Orthodox churches are complicated, but they are dealing with the mystery of God and how we through the separation seek salvation. I think as far as we are concerned, we are correct in which God has revealed His mystery a…
  • God chooses a priest as God chose our Pope. In John 15:16 Jesus says "You did not choose Me, but I chose you that you should go and bear fruit, and that fruit should remain, and that whate very you ask the Father in My name He may give you. Then o…
  • Forgive me Mina also. This question has been on my mind today and I was thinking about marriage been an icon or an image of unity, or an image of "oneness." The church also represents oneness, so the Holy Spirit completes this oneness inside the ch…
  • Can you explain your last comment Mina , that it is not about where (which we are saying not to be taken lightly), but about like all the sacraments it is about doing something? I thought you make a good response to the question in your first respo…
  • The decision should not be taken lightly as the sacrament of marriage is as though God chose you and the two of you become icons of the church in God's blessing.
  • Lord Jesus Christ have mercy upon this man.
  • I just found out that the priest had been involved in the beginning and the bishop even visited their home a few times. The husband has not changed or shown remorse. So my question is where does the responsibility of being a spouse begin and end ver…
  • Divorce is not allowed except in the case of adultery, annulment due to bigamy, orother extreme circumstances; which must be reviewed by a special council of Bishops. The Coptic Orthodox Church does not have and does not mind any civil law of the l…
  • Jesus was without sin; the divine nature. Jesus had the human nature as well. Combine the two natures and we have one, but they didn't mingle because He didn't sin. Which coincidentally is what we are trying to achieve by His wisdom. Hope I am m…
  • Joshua is Hebrew The English used Jesus is from the latin from the Greek. A bit more complicated.   My sons name is Joshua as he was going to be born on Christmas day. He was born halfway between the western Christmas and ours.

  • Read this what I was saying about the outside belieffects is in inequality. http://egyptianstreets.com/2016/06/20/women-stand-up-to-inequality-and-harassment-in-new-campaign/ It may be good for what is happening outside, but is it a reflection of …
  • Hi Lovejoypeace,     When asked for our thoughts of primary identification as Christian as more specifically Coptic Christian, then asking whether God will judge us in the categories of orthodox, catholic or protestant. The first thing I thought of …
  • This question has come to mind in the month or so. The answer is that God reveals Himself and that Christians have different theologies on the way they think He has revealed Himself. For instance, I had a protestant visit my house and he asked me …
  • Our church traditions and doctrines sometimes do come into conflict in were we are at in any given time of our own personal live i.e. feelings of independence when growing up and outside influences of cultural peer pressures and I feel you have resp…
  •   Yes Mary was the first to know Christs resurrection, but in the Jewish law you needed a man as a witness and so the first thing Mary did was go tell the other apostles who went to see for themselves.   Speaking as a deacon myself, I would find it…
