If that is the path I need to take if it is the truth I believe I need to grow in the knowledge of orthodoxy first so I am not ashamed to share it as Jesus said lest others see me begin to build and mock and that He said those who are planted on the…

I am sorry but it is my duty to preserve Christian unity. There are many people who will not know Christ we can not demonise Protestants. I do not judge orthodox who can not do this but I can not be a good rigid orthodox. One can be saved but that d…

Feel free to delete even though I doubt I can find anyone to help me but I prefer it deleted so please delete

Feel free for moderator to shorten or edit my post but not to leave out important points

But the prodigal son returned to the church so I have my answer

Today word from pope Shenouda. This is not what pope Shenouda said but what I say should we be worried that Jesus words not everyone who says to Me Lord Lord shall enter the kingdom applies to those inside the church as Jesus said the sons of the ki…

“Make no mistake brethren; the corrupters of families will not inherit the kingdom of God. If, then, those who are dead who do these things according to the flesh, how much worse if, with bad doctrine, one should corrupt the faith of God for which J…

Thanks for your reply. I have something to say which is that the foolishness of God is greater than the wisdom of men. As foolish as it seems to preach you need to be orthodox anyone honest will know it is the truth if it is as st Augustine said th…

Still thinking about this issue. Awaiting reply but take your time or do not feel rushed

God works all things for good even if we do not pick right first but that is provided we learn His will later and pursue it. We may not be called to work in something we don't have talent for or it may be okay I do not know I feel bad that I never…

I'm sorry but I have to take a turn back to what I think is the truth. Protestants need to be accepted and told to strive hard for their salvation. We must not put obstacle in their striving. If God wants them to be orthodox He will let them know bu…

I sent all my posts to draft. I will henceforth only post on my blog

People have to follow what they think is true and willing to leave all for the truth. We are not supposed to let our worry for others stop us from obeying all of christ will but just as non Christians have to leave all for Christ so do Protestants …

I have decided to obey God's will and not speculate on Protestants but trust in Him to care for them. Jesus said unless we forsake all we have we can not be His disciple and a prophet has no honor except in his house and among his own relatives. Pe…

Christ helps us not to sin if we repent through God that does not mean we are unrepentant sometime we sin because we think we can do it on our own but glory is given to God for making us sensitive to sinning against them. Our sin is bad because it m…

What do you think repentance can't be God doing most of the work or it is not true repentance if we are repenting of doing wrong against others such as looking at porn but I guess it can be if we are repenting to God. But we have to repent against w…

We can't discuss truth on forums or the moderators may ban me or delete my posts. If I am given permission I will continue. Our faults must be corrected privately because of the stumbling block of words said hastily

I want to say Jesus said He is the bread of life not His body. This is what protestants believe. But I believe we consume Him when we eat His body.

I appreciate your honest opinion. However I have to get round to form my opinion

Had some extra thoughts but I think I could have made them up and should look after people for them not to have no hope for their family. Do you want me to post the long thoughts ? I could be pouring foolish arguments and expose myself It may not h…

http://i66.tinypic.com/5f41v6.jpg I just saw this from an Eastern Orthodox source and thought that they want to confirm that we should not go about condemning Protestantism until we can present the beauty of orthodoxy through our life like many kne…

I will consider it since I have to follow the best I know but if I learn more truth from Christ who said we have to go to Him that is have a relationship and to know the truth not just search the scripture and try to interpret it ourselves thinking …

Thanks minasoliman for your reply however I get confused by orthodox who think like you. In one breath you say we don't have a heaven and hell to put people through and say we can not know for sure where they go and in another breath you teach you a…

Jesus said without eating His flesh and drinking His blood we have no life in us The church teaches communion is a great help against sin This seems to mean a Protestant would have less chance to go to heaven or less chance for reward but I will re…

God will not grant us victory if we do not fight the sin with the spiritual weapons He has given us and one of them is confession. We repeat sin because we are not perfectly sorry for the sin. Confession is necessary because God guides us to repenta…

Thanks. I will consider that if my church does not provide the needed services.I mentioned it because addictions are very hard to overcome and even impossible without Christ but when they are overcome we gain back control of our will and are settled…
-
But we should not blame people or our priest for our sins for victory can come through our own relationship with Christ and setting our mind on things above. Read more spiritual things and pray

Ask Abouna to create an accountability group. I think every other denomination does that. Not everyone is obliged to join and definitely gossipers are not allowed but it helps to have people who are strong granting accountability. If it is one pers…
