That was really good Magnoona. I just want to add on that lets the people that he love suffer, and Magnoona's example, Job, is perfect. He wants to see your love to him, and he tests it through the little tribulations and persecutions he sets for yo…

Oh wait; another two cents from a sermon i heard by fr Athanasius Iskandar
He said we have a big potential of love to give, and if we have different bf/gf we won't …
Yea, the things that we go through in our life. The small tribulations, and adversities that we face in our day to day life are persecutions. There are many choices that we can make in life to satisfy ourselves, but there are only so many that we ca…
I also wanted to add something. We've had so many threads about this topic. We all know that we shouldn't have bfs or gfs, so why do we continue to ask? Becasue we're looking for excuses for ourself. We will always do what we WANT to do, but finding…
Just don't let your thoughtsbecome anything more than that. Don't even let the thoughts go anywhere becasue that in itself is a sin. You have to treat a sin from when it is a baby, and in this case, and in all cases, it's the thoughts. Control your …
I get what you're trying to say, thing is, when people see someone treating them nicely, they aren't going to think the way you are right now. They're not going to go see how you treat everyone else, they're going to see you as something else, but y…

A lot of u said to turn to friends. friends choose this time to be not there. i become altra sensitive during this time, not that im not sensitive already.

That's true unconditional_love, but saying something nice to someone may also trigger something in them. You may just act that way, and they're taking it as flattery because they aren't treated well. Each situation is different.

Don't stress about it. Just leave it in God's hands. He won't forget about you. Just like marriage, it'll come at the right time. Don't try to rush things.

I have to say, I agree with ASM, Magnoona4lyf, and sotirmou. I also want to add on to what ASM said. It's true that all this disrespect about clothing is being thrown at the women, and I beg to differ. Are you saying that if a guy wore a tight muscl…
That's true Coptic Angel. If someone wins a competition and people start complimenting that person, does that nessacarily mean that people are trying to win you over? It's true that the ego aspect will kick in, but everyone needs encouragement once …
Always remember that you have friends to turn to in times of need. They will never turn you down because they love you and want the best for you. I truly do know what you're talking about, and friends are what help you get through because it helps y…

In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. One GOD. Amen.
Moziga, I think that it is not very Christian and humble of you to dislike someone t…
Will be done. I also have a special request. I really would like your prayers. Right now I'm going through a lot of stuff, and I really need your support guys. I know you won't let me down.

angelofGOD, I know how that feels. It's happened to me before. What you should do is try to make a joke out of it. If she says something to you about being a teacher's pet, say something back to her like, "it takes skill" or something. lol. Take the…
Well, it all depends in my opinion. I mean, if you're saying it because you truly mean it than there's nothing wrong with it, it's your opinion, but if it's because of your own reasons that aren't right, than that's wrong, but then again, that's my …
You're right Coptic_Avenger, he is like him. Except they're not the same age, and I don't think that Hos Erof is mistaken for abouna's son. lol.
It wasn't that the church was a mess, it was because our priest relies on him to do the written stuff a…
Coptic Defender, that's a bit harsh. I mean this person is asking for some advice, and you're putting them down. They obviously realize that they're doing something wrong, and that's why they asked, but to say something that harsh will make people n…
But you know, there are fantasies that come true so that they are no longer fantasies but rather life.
I personally don't believe that there's anything wrong with it because it doesn't go against anything in the bible or in the commandments, so wha…
Why do you feel that way? Bush has actually done something while Kerry seems to be all talk. I won't get into the details here, but apparently we need to do some talking, you and I.

Not is you have to keep acting to make them feel like nothing is wrong. I mean you have a really good point, but personally speaking, that only gets them closer to you because they feel a connection.

Hope that helped Moziga
Well, that could possibly work, but what is it about them that makes them so "annoying"? There has to be something that makes you want to stay away.

Yea, when I heard that I just about threw a fit because it's been a proven thing that homosexuality is a learned habit, you're NOT born that way. There's no such thing. So much for his being a Catholic. He needs to brush up on his facts on homosexua…

As to Bush graduating from Yale, he graduated with a 2.4 GPA.
