  • Why does Paul say I do what I will not to do if I do what I will not to do I agree with the law that it is good.This refers to non christians who do not have ability to do what is good no matter how much they try. It should not be as an excuse for c…
  • Romans 6:1-141 What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 Certainly not! How shall we who died to sin live any longer in it? 3 Or do you not know that as many of us as were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into…
  • I wanted to change my mind by saying the below but I think I should keep it for now until I learn the purpose of communion and what food it gives to our spirit and if without it you can not be fed and have life and if you can be righteous without ha…
  • I am confused why the church says communion helps fight sin. It is probably because Jesus said His flesh is food indeed and His blood is drink indeed but how do we know if that applies to fighting sin. Anyway I think there are two types of repentanc…
  • I believe orthodox are saved if they really believe what they are saying and not aware of stumbling others or feeling they may be stumbling others but if they feel they may be stumbling others they need to accept other Christians.
  • You should go to abouna and get advise. He may tell you later to tell your dad. But before you go just make a few moments with yourself realising your mistakes or thinking about them and also learn that it is not the end of the world and pray to God…
  • It is very important to be watchful. What God endures for one person He will not endure for another. Because one sin for some is like plenty of sins for others or that person has many other sins he does not think about or know about or he has been s…
  • Thank you dear bassem your words did not disturb me but I believe Christ already descended to hades and finished the work of salvation for all He knows deserve it. He said My sheep hear My voice and they follow Me and I give them eternal life. I sho…
  • I take it back. A kingdom divided will not stand. We have to accept Protestants and Catholics outside the church because that makes non Christians less likely to be Christian and those Christians not sure if they are Christian but worried about thei…
  • I am changing my position to I think Protestants and more likely Catholics can be saved but I do not know so I don't want to stop others from seeking and I don't want to be responsible for them not seeking. I have not yet been able to believe orthod…
  • Psalm 73 may provide some answers He has a great reward in heaven. The righteous sometimes suffer more such as the rich man and Lazarus for the sake of rewards and to benefit others because they are able to endure it. Just like God said in the book…
  • Ephesians 2:6-10 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have be…
  • The way is difficult we must try very hard to enter heaven but God is with us to encourage and help us while we struggle hard .With Him all things are possible If a person does not have works his faith does not exist. Faith is not just believing i…
  • Thank you dear basemwilliam :) I hope I can learn to do that but I believe I must correct my false teaching if I can
  • I thought I added the below in the above post I don't know why it is not there: Sometimes fear of hurting another member of the family who is christian but not orthodox is also not a good excuse if you feel it may help them consider orthodoxy if you…
  • Quote from me on february 7"Yes we need to repent which starts with accepting all those outside the church who do not believe in heresy. I don't know how we can reconcile with catholics who do not believe one needs to believe in jesus to be saved or…
  • My father of confession revealed a misunderstanding some orthodox have about confession he said if one is truly repentant even without confession he is forgiven but it is good to go to a priest so he can declare you are truly repentant and forgiven …
  • Just wanted to discuss something else but not clear now
  • Jesus said Not everyone who says to Me Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom of God but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. So we need to strive to obey the commandments but we must still believe in Jesus but there is one who not being able to …
  • I wanted to comment on one of Jesus sayings but it may be a harmful or wrong commentary so I omitted it 
  • Yes we need to repent which starts with accepting all those outside the church who do not believe in heresy. I don't know how we can reconcile with catholics who do not believe one needs to believe in jesus to be saved or with eastern orthodox who b…
  • Thanks basemwilliam and minatasgeel for taking part in this thread without censoring it "Abraham believed and he is truly the greatest man of faith in the Bible. But without him collecting what he owned and migrating, while leaving his father and fa…
