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 minds or hearts at the church, that the priests would not accept this. I w…

[quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=9818.msg150094#msg150094 date=1326028957] "Without God, there can be no such thing as human dignity and human rights." leviticus 25:44-46 And the LORD spake unto Moses in mount Sinai, saying....."as for your …

I agree with Ioannes. Futhermore, the very concept of the concert is praising God in your own way, without the need of the church. If a church is involved it would be a liberal one. It is important to have some sort of understanding of the nat…

It is for Ioannes. The first bit is ethiopian saying - I love you always.

hulem ewedhalew God bless you.

I do feel some people take things for granted. For instance, after we have taken communion, we are newly baptisted when we do so, our past sins are forgotten and forgiven. But after church some people talk about previous sin or even worse other pe…

I think it will a very hard job your doing ioannas as the creation is spiritual as well as concerning the flesh. I don't think we need to prove anything on God's behalf but I sure hope you can do it though.

Jesus Christ is an example for our lives once again in that just like Judas, we betray the ones we love, even when love was supposed to be the object of what we were doing. Judas followed him, but his belief, loyality and love was not enough an…

What were you doing before she rang you? Because then you can put a time limit on the conversation by saying I have to do such and such in 5 minutes. Then when the five minutes is up, be polite and say thank you very much for calling. If the conv…

I don't rthink it is about whose land it is, but more about identity and who is loyal to it. In America, the diversity of identity made for the democracy. Where there wasn't the aligance just to England anymore. There was something akin to a dicta…

I agree with you sentiments ilovestaintmark. Because it is muslims who run Eygpt, those who aren't muslim are implyed that they are not loyal Eygptians. The law says that, eg having to say your christian on your passport. Islam comes f…

Yes it is one point. Another is that we are purified once we are absolved from the sin. Church is a place of santcuary where you should feel safe to confess your sins. So the relationship with your priest is one where you know he is forgiving…

I don't think it has to be pride. It could be the person doesn't trust themselves and is not sure if they could trust the confusion with someone else. It might feel embaressing.

You are right LoveisDivine. Sorry for adding more fuel.

What are your thoughts about your thread ? My approach is to forgive first, even when seeking repentance. I find it takes more patience with someone and not a harder reaction when wanting repentance. Am I too soft or kidding in taking this atti…

I pray that any distractions that prevent you from glorifing God subside so you will be able to focas on your own weaknesses Your in a time of life when things are a bit impetuios (careless) and if we are hard or soft on you it is because we want…

I agree ReturnOrthodoxy. She should repent. There is a wider problem here and the title of her thread states that. As far as I'm concerned, it is the humble who make good listeners, not the proud. I do wonder who is listening to her? The repentance…

Well done CopticStrength. You are right about being lead on the right path. After repentance there is righteousness. The right and good thing to do. You can say sorry, but after that. the direction one goes is probably more important. If she does…

That's ok . We try to be forgiving in all situations. I pray all will be healed through our lord Jesus Christ. I also pray for you.

Why ilovesaintmark? She said there was jealousy in the church. Why not believe her? I think she is dealing with it wrongly, and that it might be having a bad effect. Does she do nothing? She is only 14. Is she to cope with the adults who have give…

Hi Tenacpi esna onkh, I think those people, the moment they say oh my God, they weren't thinking of God at that time but things weren't happening to their own expectations. Do their own expectations involve God? Only if your doing his w…

Hi , I think there are lessons all around. The jealousy is bringing the worst out of you. It's making you feel pride. Jealousy is compeditive and it probably is a competition you don't want to be in, especially in church. A bit like R…

Hi binC, God is involved in our lives when you follow him. When I say follow him, tjhat is to follow his commandments and read the parables. This give you direction and righteousness. They take you away from the weaknesses. …

Hi aosseily, Criminal actions are against the law and have there associations with sin. They are normally enforced because of their affects on society. Laws have an association with loyalty as well because we obey them. I've said…

Hi aosseily, Sorry if I used homosexuals in my post but it was to gain an understand of the topic which I think is about inconsistacy. I think we do have to use the word but because what we are doing requires a contradiction.…

Hi aosseily, I'm a kiwi by the way. I think your right when it comes to state and religion and that was the road the catholics took. I also think that is what weakened the Catholic church and then weakened again by having protestants c…

My thoughts for the first question is that Jesus Christ reconciles us with the father for our sins and that the new covenant is love and not just the laws God gave Moses. The old covenant laws were inadequate and the jews were not following God'…

Hello Albert, I was wondering if you could summerise the points made in the pod-cast? I think there needs to be some clarity for the direction or stand that has been made by concerned copts or yourself. My prayers are for…

I'm still of the mind that it all comes down to repentance, and there lies the change for those to follow Christ. When it comes to rules and laws, they were always easily abused and it was one of the reasons our Christ came. The laws God gave to M…

After reading unworthy1' post I think the american government do understand the situation. It is a very sad situaion with what is happening there in Eygpt. My prayers go to all of those families who lost their loved ones.
