All that you said is true...but you have to remember that Christians in Egypt have been persecuted and have endured a lot, especially by the arabs that invaded our land...the muslims. Many people did jump to conclusions, but they assumed so based on…

hmm...of course everythings always easier said than done...but I would consider it an opportunity to go to heaven and be a martyr...its kinda the easy way out actually. All you have to do is say "Yes, I believe"..and ur almost gauranteed a spot in h…
Repentance is the way and the key to the Kingdom of Heaven, without which no one can enter into it. Let us keep to this path, O brethren: for the path now in this short life is narrow and afflicted, but later in that endless future life there shall …
"In your heart be like an emperor, seated high in humility, commanding laughter: 'Go!' and it goes; and sweet weeping: 'Come!' and it comes; and our tyrant and slave, the body: 'Do this!' and it does it."

I understand your point of view, and I too feel bad for him, but it is a cross he has to carry. God only gives us tribulations as much as we can handle. Of course a loveless marriage would be horrible, I would hate to ever be in that position, as wo…
Dont jump to conclusions and assume this friend was REALLY talkin bad about you. Someone may have just made that up cuz they saw how close u and ur friend were getting, and were jealous of it. Confront your friend, and ask him/her if it was true. Do…
When you turn to friends your own age..u r only seeking someone to understand your perspective.
However, if u need advice or feedback you should go to someone older, wiser, more knowledgable than you are....Abouna once gave an analogy...."A blind …
My parents dont mind mucch. They dont encourage one on one conversations with guys on the phone, but if its important or for a purpose then they allow me. They prefer him to be Egyptian/coptic/orthodox though (i dunno why ::), but yea) . They trust…
Well, personally I'm totally against it!
Women can become nuns..sure... brides of christ...awesome.... devoted to God...terrific....but become a priest...No!
Telling someone when they are at fault isnt neccessary judging. judging is more like...looking down on someone for their faults or gossiping bout it.
Its definetly wrong to judge cuz we are all sinners, so we arent really in any position to judge …

Why would you blame God?. . . what gives u that right?
Was it not GOD that gave you life, was it not HIS mercy that saved you?
Jesus said "In the world you WILL (thats a promise) have tribulations. . . " ur gunna sufffer, thats what being a Christ…
Jesus came to earth to live among us and to pay the ransom price to buy us out of sin and death. So where should we expect to find him in his death? In between two sinners offering forgiveness and grace! Jesus entered our world in humility as a baby…
