  • The dogma is connected to faith. So the question could be does the faith change?
  • Another, we can't say apostasis of Ecumenism when we pray for all Christians to remember us in the house of the Lord.
  • I can answer one. Church tradition preceded scripture so scripture is a great source but the tradition is to be keep.
  • Your wife confessed to you she had a problem with her mother before, that is the reason both of them have to see abouna. They have to reconcIle their problem that peace may come of it before you can have your peace.
  • You see the daughter cannot accept the mothers wishes and the guy she is with represents that. So if abouna can reconcile mother and daughter to accept a reconciliation then your wife's rebellion may subsist, or become less.
  • Ok I'll think about what you have just said, but another thing occurred to me is and I still see it as a problem of mother and daughter is can they go together to your father of confession? Just them.
  • Just thought of something. Can you try to heal the rift between mother and daughter? Try to find out maybe from our mother inlaw what the problem emotionally is between them. If you can fix that, it will go a long way to fixing your problem.
  • My first thoughts was your father of confession and I sought of take it for granted that is where most people have been. I sort of give an opinion/advice. I was bought up to use like a think tank where everyone around the table gives their thoughts …
  • I was making a general comment with the conclusion being in the direction of the church representing a healing Jesus as the church is Christ's body and the head is the wisdom of Jesus we recieve via the Holy Spirit through the church fathers ( of wh…
  • I would like to stress that these are mine own reflections and that I've given them honestly, but what church Fathers or abouna says or those in authority give a righteous answer then it comes by way of inspiration from the Holy Spirit for which it …
  • Hello Raafat, Sometimes when we look at something it can depend on the way you see it to understand the truth of it. The way we see things could be what they are as we see them, or they could be taken as was intended. If we take them as we see th…
  • Hello Livetonoevil, Concerning your faith and which to choose. I will give my opinion. Which faith to choose? If we go towards theology it's is because we are analytical and like to know how things work. I'd like to reiterate what minasoliman sa…
  • My sincerest apologies to the two priests. Yes we can still be holy if we resist gay temptation as well as sexual temptation. The environment in church is most important. God had given us a sanctuary. A place where we can pray, feel safe and be of …
  • My prayers for your family in this very differcult time, with the feelings of loss and the actions of some of the church members judging your brother. Those in the church are to be like humble servants in Christ and for Christ. That is to say Chris…
  • Meant Judas can that be editted please.
  • Please correct me if I'm wrong but Wednesday represents a day of repentance because Judah betrayed Christ on that day and the Friday as the date of Christ's resurrection.
  • And another thing which a Catholic priest told me concerning my mother- give her plenty of hugs. Best advice and one I'll never forget. It's a case of a little goes a long way.
  • You may have to trust her. I am wondering the reason for your doubt that she is being dishonest in a relationship with a workmate. Sometimes when we make an accusation that is come from suspicion the fear alone is the cause for them defending themse…
  • What are your brothers thoughts concerning church, family and life outside his family?
  • Wise advice from Italiancoptic. My prayers for your brother.
  • Thanks be to God and thank you Elgawly. Made a spiritual connection straight after I downloaded and opened it. Last night I decided to read Matthew and today I opened the app and it went straight there. It could of gone to Genesis but it went strai…
  • I'm sorry ophadece, but I not sure how it could be personal because we are dealing in tackling sin. I was reading another post and the person really needed an Abouna to deal with it by giving good advice. Admittedly, I do see a flaw in that the F…
    in Confession Comment by Joshuaa July 2018
  • Yes you are right Mabsoota about God, but I was making the comment in the way humans relate and not necessarily of God Himself. Origen said the soul is feminine and I was looking at those atributes. God bless you Mabsoota and pray for me as I wi…
  • @Raafat I think there is a misunderstanding of what I've said. I've said if the Son has trouble with either parent then the consequences of the way he feels of their role is determines future troubles. Problems are not troubles. Problems can be ov…
  • I have three sons and there is one thing I have read and I thing is true about bringing son's up is that, if they are in trouble with me, then there is a high probability of them having problems with authority later on. And if they have a problem wi…
  • When I was young I was very theosopical because I sort truth. I guess I still am. But as a Christian and be lived God created man and the universe, then you know He gave life to the human. If He gave life to the human wouldn't it be reasonably to t…
  • The Holy Spirit also would not be consensual. Trying to obtain a pure heart and being blameless of sin through Christ raises the emotions to the spiritual emotions and monks would be more prepared than us whom sin being subject to the outside worl…
  • Some was abusing me today and I had the thought, after some complaining, that I should pray for them that they needed healing. This has made it easier that I leave the conflict in God's hands. It was humbleness which I sort after because I became co…
  • And another thing was repentance is a returning back to God. The act of returning as well as returning back to Him is returning back to a good mind, one that is at peace, unperturbed and has the wisdom to live a truthful life. God bless you my bro…
  • When we obey God's commandments and participate in the churches Holy Sacraments. Also Jesus Christ is our teacher and lead by example, so He is the life and our lifes are lead by Him. The Cross He died on represents a sacrfical life we which there …
