  • I believe protestant are Christens Mike but that they do have the fullness of Christ or the Trinity. A Christian is someome who follows Christ. . As I sometimes get to pray in the confession is: Pray for us and for all Christians who said us concer…
  • In Acts 10:1-8 1 There was a certain manin Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment, 2 a devout man and one who feared God with all his household, who gave alms generously to the people, and prayed to God always…
  • Sorry Mina and especially sorry to Saint Peter for my mis-reprsentation and ask forgiveness. Before I came to our church I went to Roman Catholic bible study and just reading from their comments on Acts 18 in the book I've got is that the Emperor af…
  • I wish this post deleted please as see peace with Anselm and not to have jjudgement on him.
  • If been righteous is doing something right, then sin is doing it a wrong way. If you do something the wrong and you want to do correctly, first you have to forgive yourself so the wrong way is looked upon as a mistake that you can correct. Doing som…
  • I think Jesus told St Peter that he was the rock on which the church is to be built, was because Peter was always making mistakes and needed the confidence of his faith more than the others. We know that Jesus gave the responsibility of His church …
  • God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son. This, when we see Jesus Christ on the cross is sacrifial love. We are truly part of that when we live our life in Christ Jesus. He teaches us how to make the inner sacrifice first, so we are…
  • I found these comments, one including Pope Shenoda 111 http://www.orthodoxchristianity.net/forum/index.php?topic=6985.0
  • I am sorry for the grief you are through mnc_hnn. It sounds like he may of being alone and in distress and it was and still is a very emotional time for you, no doubt. Grief can be filled with sadness and anger and it is quite natural to feel this …
  • An answer lays in our fallen state. The four deaths of our fallen state are: Physical death; Spiritual death; Eternal death; and the death to man's dignity. It is the death to man's dignity that is full of conflict. There are two major problems wi…
  • Hello basemwilliam, Firstly, God gave His apostles authority when He made them Bishops upon the rock to build His church. The question is; that they all were proclaiming salvation by the gospel of Jesus Christ, but this salvation is a narrow path,…
  • It is our orthodox aim to achieve theosis. That is to be like God: Psalm 82:6 "You are Gods, And all of you are children of the Most High." This is unity with Him brought about by love. Which means the fruit of faith works in love. So faith is wo…
  • It begs the question of why are you attending their masses? It seems a bit casual. The partaking of the Eucharist I mean.
  • Study needs discipline as does the spiritual matters. Good advice from Mike about the tutoring and more prayer. God bless.

  • Sounds like hearsay to me. I went to Catholic church bible studies before I was baptisted by our church and I went to a mass ( also tried to confess but wasn't allowed ) and they were fairly observant in their rites. I can't believe you can choose…
  • We don't follow the same life because our teachings have come by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit to the church Fathers and the starting of the church by Jesus Christ Himself to the apostles (His bride) and that this road and journey was set way b…
  • Confession is a step to humility to God. I can't see you being punished for confession. My advice is to not think of yourself so much on the day and the night before you have communion. God bless.
  • Sounds a great idea Khas. Are you willing to help set it up. Some of us need more prayer and the motivation to do so.
  • We try to live a liturgical life Mike. What we have is not ours, but God's. So what we have is a gift from God and we make offerings and worship Him. That life is not only in the church, but it is what we take outside of the church. I think Fr Pet…

  • Can the typo be changed to Bishop Suriel please.
  • Thanks Mina The very sad and horrific news of the people killed in St Peters Church calls us to pray for the repose of those matyrs and that those closely effected keep their peace in our Lord Jesus Christ. Our Bishop Surely has gone to suppor…
  • You are welcome and you are needed. We are corrected all day long and must submit to this correction and to let the Holy Spirit help us by Jesus Christ's word. The Father sends you the help in Jesus Christ's name. John 14:26 But the helper, the …
  • My brother Mike. You repented and I pray you see things more clearly and we are not a judge of the law but a doer of the law. But speak to abouna when you have clearly identified the problem and try to submit without complaint and I'm sure he will…
  • if you believe the truth in Jesus Christ, then the paths leading to His Kingdom are without sin and you would not accept the sin of this world by comparison to His truth. How do you get on the path? He teaches you? When we read Psalm 25: 4-5 S…
