How can you be agreeable to using something false ilovestaintmark? This is not a transparent action. Aren't we surposed to be genuine? Please explain.

Those verses are a great expression of God's will John_s2000.

The prodical son wasted the money his father gave him on a bad life-style in the town. He realised his mistake and went back to his father. He did not go back to him with the people he spent his money with saying, my father has heaps of money and …

We are to practise righteousness. It is the right way and the good way to do things. Not to blame and argue who is responsible. For me it is like God is the creator of all so he loves what he has created. But what was seperated he would like to co…

I see things that when I have very little chose and I,m desperate in a situation then I might do it full in the mind that I'm using unrighteous mamman. I'm doing something that will see me not defeated, losing hope. Teachers are trying to develop …

I thought that submit meant obey. So wifes should obey their husbands. When someone obeys then they are loyal and this is a bond. A bond keeps things together. What husbands should give their wifes is respect in a way that shows caring. After all …

My thoughts were like mabsoota's that the best thing to do is to see your priest or a counsellor. Both over the issues with rejection. Not to look for acceptance from others, as it's hard to please anyone. It maybe your reliance on others that m…

Hi Godlovesme, Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with us. That is brave and shows some trust. As for feeling rejected. I'm adopted, I was born in rejection, a stranger in this world. These are people Go…

Whatever we try to do for you is in the grace of rightousness, so who is to judge rightousness. If we speak of doing good because God has brought us to that position in our live, or if we have learned it from the Holy Bible, or our Church Fathers.…

Why can't you discuss those issues with anyone? Alot of people are forgiving so please try. You need support Godlovesme. The internal stuggles are obstacles you need help with. Fear is large for some, so please try to fight it. Satan kills what we…

Tell her of your concerns in a way she doesn't feel defencive. Ask her to quote from the bible maybe. I love geomikes reply for smirser and I wish it was like facebook where I could push the like word.

Try to be more patient and then you won't have those reactions the devil uses to weaken your faith. May God protect you, keep you safe out of the devils hold, and into the freedom of God's love.

You are right. It probably came from my desire for peace. Our church goes on a straight and narrow path and with a straight path the ones at the head can see a long way in the distance. A path that is not straight has too many distractions even t…

I agree with what you have said but I don't agree with the actions taken. As schism is seperation and herec- sorry can't spell it - is comdemnation.

Wouldn't it be wise to say those that believe in him are part of him. Then if we're part of him, are we a part of his body. The protestants do not believe in the consubstanial part, but they believe in him. That is their weakness. We can say we ha…

Forgive us copticyouth86 It's not good when people feel they have to defend themselves. You said the church had old traditions, however, because the world is changing, it is not good that we have to defend the dogmatic way we're living. It is the…

I don't think all homosexuals are intentional sinners. The ones who are, are by chose. The corruption happened a long time ago.

Hi copticyouth86 I had read your first post and you said you wanted a healthy discussion. So I picked up on the word healthy and found common ground with suffering. As for direction, Jesus Christ will someday judge the world and this …

Hi copticyouth86 You want a healthy discussion of this topic. The health aspect I think concerning both parties is suffering. I think homosexuals and the church veiw it differently and deal with it differently. The church, I think sees suffe…

I think it is hard for christians copticyouth86 because we are trying to live a life of repentance that continuely closes the seperation between us and God. We all are God's creation but we are to be judged according to the life we've lived. He kn…

Hello copticyouth86, What is your opinion on homosexuality and morals. Are they compatible?
-
I also think it is hard for them to repent because they are a political body.
-
I think about Jesus throwing out the money lenders out of the temple because it was a holy place and the money lenders understood it was a holy place. So I guess in fairness they couldn't complain being denyed access. Jesus didn't take a docter ap…

What I was concerned about is what they are sharing and if it is shared does that make it acceptible?

We repent our sins to change for the sake of purity. Homosexuality does not repent and does not change for the sake of love. We share love but not repentance. One of the reasons we go to church is to be purified. So then what the homosexual offers…

I agree with what you have said Timothym and what is more is that God is prefect and wants growth that isn't in corruption. I don't see Homosexuality as a rightous growth, unlike between a man and a woman. I think God's love is in connection with…

It is the Coptic Church. It is our identity. In the day of judgement the Christ will identify who is with him and who is not, for he knows all.
-
I believe yes. I think we are santified by our church, that is purified and have protection by our church. As God come to Eygpt for protection we have a special relationship with God. As God had changed the nations from following other God's to fo…

I guess it must be hard to decide because once you start something you do need to complete it even though your disicion to start it may of been for the wrong reason. The discussion with your parents really did have to be what you felt was the what…

Hi Katanikhoros, What I see from what you say is that you don't have direction and I think it is because you can't be yourself. Even though you have a direction you aren't strong in it. I think of Jesus Christ's two commandme…
