  • What's your favourite verse  in the bible Mike?
  • I agree with you Remnkemi, the trust in God's mercy is humility. If there is supremacy then it is exaltation, putting one above.
  • Hoping your not upset Mike. I know you want to bring others to God but our church doesn't do it by faith alone even though faith is true. It's a different path, one that is broad while we're on the narrow and we try and keep the integrity of this …
  • Mike, you do have problems, so you can't talk in retoric, like you are talking to us but really talking to yourself. We don't have faith alone, because how do we be in true communion when we are alone? The lost sheep can fix it's problem through Go…
  • I don't think we should be comparing which is better. I give the responces in arabic, coptic and english. i love them all. Abouna even does a bit of it in amharic because we have ethiopians in the church. Everyone is comfortable with it.
  •     You are to honour your parents Mike.     I pray God protects them and keeps them in good health.
  • Are you scared for you parents Mike? Everyone in the world has a chose to make and it is their chose. We can only change them be the depth of feeling or conscience because reason is not always enough unless they are truely seeking perfection. That…
  • Are you full of doubt Mike?  We try to be strong Mike. To love those who hate themelves. As Jesus has asked us love God first and love others as yourself and in that order we do it. Once you obey God, in example not to exalt ourself, that is to t…
  • For me, it is one apostle argueing with another apostle when Christ gave them all authourity. It was also to bind and loose which is felxible according to that apostle. Also salvation is the strength of the sacrament, so if a sacrament is weakened …
  • I think St Cyprian explianed it quite well it that they have seperated from the promises of faith. What they have done is to determine their own faith, so looking for their own promise.
  • [quote author=davekan link=topic=13771.msg160491#msg160491 date=1350258762] Hi Anthony, I am very glad that you desire to become part of the Coptic Church. I would highly recommend that you find nearest Coptic Church to you. Tasbeha.org has a "Loca…
  • Ephesians 2:19-22     19 Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, 20 having been built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himsel…
  •   I'm not judging them Mike but would like them to return. I love them but does praising God give them salvation? The meaning of protestant means protest. It is something against and not in agreement with the church Jesus started. I'm sorry Mike bu…
  • I'm sorry MikeforJesus, I don't really want to say too much about protestants, but the protestants do not have the Holy Spirit in their church even though they would like to think it does. They adhere to what is in the bible and seperated themselv…
  • Jesus is God in the flesh. The people weren't to force him to be king as it would of being their will which sets who ever they make king in this world, up for failure, because there is no victory to be had in this world when all is at war or confl…
  •   Hi Mike,                 If you do have a psychosis then it is in your mind. What is in your mind goes to your heart. What is in your heart should be love.   1 John 16-21                       And we have known and believed the love God has for…
  • Mike please try not to think like that. Faith is what is in your mind and heart and righteousness is the action of it. You can be righteous by just being obediant. God has given you a structure, a framework in which to live your life that will kee…
  • I am hoping you don't leave Mark. There are problems, and the main one I see is a lack of appreciation. To feel appreciated is so important.  We need more to do away with our pride saying we know something and be strong and accept the opinions of …

  • [quote author=Somali link=topic=13743.msg160288#msg160288 date=1349304182] [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=13743.msg160270#msg160270 date=1349107752] I recommend you read all his previous posts to make your own conclusions regarding his vie…
  • You are wonderful ReturnOrthodoxy! You know how to repent. We are foolish, and from there we can learn about ourselves and others.   I pray you find a wife mrLOSTinLIFE because:     Proverbs 18:22                               He who finds a wif…
  • I would forgive, but I don't agree with the arrangement anyway, as we don't have boyfriend- girlfriend unless it's an engagement. Are you engaged? If not, then the committment was less assured. Forgive and start again and lead her in a way tha…
  • That's ok Mike.  I have a family, so I have to work. Since I work with people who don't have my faith, I keep it in my heart as not to make an issue, but to just be good and help when I can.        
  • Unrightous mammon is only used when you have little or no chose. It is to get you by in life so you aren't to fail and is permitted by God as He says "He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is lea…
  • Sin makes us think about ourselves; pride, jealousy, soforth..These deliver us to satan as these are his works. Our chosing to have less of those works by knowing God will be rewarded by having all the sins removed once in Heaven and been in the tr…
  •   You already are the salt of the earth, which is not dull or bored with life and know it is a trial in which we strife. If the salt loses it's flavour then how shall it be seasoned? You are living the trial of life, so there is flavour and you are…
  •   You don't have to please people Jertyvancy as the expectations of those people will pull you to and throw, but it is that you know what you want and live to THOSE expectations. God will help you in those as they are you, and it is you that God kn…
  • I look on guilt as a lesson for my conscience, what is right and wrong, and if it was never in my nature to be able to change some things then I know God is forgiving as is his mercy. It is the human nature that is weak, but it is that which we lea…
  •   Our church invokes the Holy Spirit, whether it is a monk or a priest or anyone from the church, and this is the help we get from God. We repent our sins for they are a burden not only to our life and to others as well.   I'm sorry to hear of the …
  • No judgement, but we judge ourselves sometimes because there is no movement in our life or we don't want movement and when someone asks why, we feel judged.   As far as I'm concerned, you are a brother in Christ, so you have his love and freedom …
