An Apostolic Church should thus be expected to follow the same correct teaching as given to us in the Bible for it to be considered Orthodox, a wisdom word meaning much in terms of truly following the Early Church legacy of the Apostles, and then th…
Acts 19, Paul at Ephesus
1 And it happened, while Apollos was at Corinth, that Paul, having passed through the upper regions, came to Ephesus. And finding some disciples 2 he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?”
So the…
Please can you be more specific by telling where in the Bible can I find it? This way if I do not know (like in this case posted above) may be I can ask and find out from someone knowledgeable.
There is a general answer I think of, we read:
Mark 1…
Let me explain it this way: this article is a kind of taboo in the eyes of extremists and they are using it to flame the people against each other. The Church actually never asked for its removal knowing its severe importance to many Muslims.
The C…
Christians should not take revenge, God does.
My question is not about that but about denying Biblical and historical facts, with the resulting spread of doubts among multitudes about the correct interpretation of true Biblical verses.

Yes I agree, it is very good too. I recommend using both, Spybot has also live protection after installation. Antimalware is an on demand manually run scanner. If something bad is missed by one program the other will usually catch it. It is good pra…
I fully understand all our concerns but it is practically unwise for the Church to ask for the 2nd Article removal, it is much wiser and politically correct to ask for an extension with clear emphasis on our requested rights.
Yes, this article's cu…
The Christian way was given to us in the Sermon on the Mount by Jesus Christ. Remember that Love never fails and the Lord promised that He avenges His children. HH has a very wise long term vision and cares for Egypt Christians as well as Muslims. H…
you have heard anti-Christian faith/validity arguments in which the seemingly outlandish, extreme, and unnecessary laws and punishments of the Old Testament
Who can say they were unnecessary? Faithful Jews followed them fearfully and accurately, als…
lightening,
Reading your post above I am afraid your definitions of forbearing, repentance, confession, forgiveness and overlooking got really mixed up, please review.
You're right we're no place for folklore theology here.. otherwise may be we're…

God is free to speak the way He chooses
Fantastic answer: indeed He is. During His public teaching years, Christ walked doing good in so many ways and doing so many miracles according to His wisdom.
In the miracle described that is the subject of t…
Zoxsasi,
I am very sorry bro I forgot to reply to you earlier.
I never doubted your intentions for a second and I now know I've surfed to the page just after the poll was changed to another kind of vote. It's Ahram's fault, I don't trust most news…
This statement was fully agreed upon, content and spirit, by the representatives of all the different churches in Egypt.
There are currently many trying hard to stir hate against Christians, especially HH and the COC. They include extremists still …
This one is OK. I've learned this miracle happened and all this was broadcast in a live TV session - before any possibility of it being edited. It left a strong effect on many. You don't find concrete references easily now for obvious reasons.
It i…
The door is now open and things are more favorable for the formation of new secular or liberal political parties and for free legally channeled political opinions. The Wassat party, though known to be a 'moderate MB separated wing' had to have Chris…
Please brothers let us put any differences of opinion aside.
I've today read that HH Pope Shenouda III wisely stated that the Church did not ask for the elimination of the controversial article 2, it's been there for a very long time, for many deca…
This probably needs a brainstorming session!
Father Peter, first I like much your missionary goals. The word journey seems very honest and correct indeed, it could discourage today's impatient people though because it may convey the idea of a rathe…

Dear Father Peter,
I am praying almost daily for you, for your ministry and for your family.
Had I the opportunity to help more I would have done it immediately. I currently suffer of a severe lack of income myself though I thought I've got some t…
Zoxsasi,
This voting is not specific for article 2 but about the whole constitution:
The exact translation of the poll from the link you posted above:
Does Egypt need a new Constitution?
* Yes
* No
* Don't care
May be in the case of a new consti…
