Aside from the commands of God that he asks we do not curse under any circumstanes. . . why would you want to curse anyways? Are you allowing the same mouth that praises God, and takes in His Holy body and precious blood to curse and bring forth th…

Men and women are equal... but in different ways. This was meant so that in marriage, what one lacks, the other provides. So what if we cant be deacons or make orban... we can still serve in many other ways. Its not a big deal, and we shouldnt be …

Another thing you guys have to understand is that they dont really want to just talk everything out...it says in their koran for them to kill us, the "non believers". Its an honour for them to kill a Christian, that simply means they get more virgin…

The grand son of Farida - around 12 years old - had a tumor in his brain. He was in terminal stage, and was sent to his house...The family expected his death at any hour, until a Christian friend of the family told his grand mother (Farida El Zomor…

His holiness quotes several times "Come unto me all you who labour and are heavy laden and I will give u rest" Matthew 11:28. So thats always reassuring. But yea it was tough seeing him cry, cuz hes kinda our earthly shepard, and you can tell hes…
