  • 1 Corin this 13 :4 Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself.
  • God bless you Mike. I have Abba Anthony icon on my wall. It is good to keep attention to ourselves. SJC I pray you will be ok my friend. May God be with you.
  • Dear Mike Sometimes we get caught up in a problem and we tend to overthink it . It's Ok but we can always try not to become hard hearted either with others or ourselves and you can always express yourself in accordance with your capibilities. Been …
  • Colossian 3:9-10 9 Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds, 10 and have put on the new man who is renewed in knowledge according to the image of Him who created him. This was a question about whether or …
  • God grant you a blessed life together in joy and happiness. Forgive always and pray.
  • I was in the position of this man and it is weakness in which he did what he did. However, the commitment to each other has to recoqnised as one that you are going to be married one day and even though he confessed his sin, what he is saying is I wa…
  • I am sorry Prayforrepentance,    I haven't been as empathic as much as I should be. I will tell you the problem so you may understand.  When I was young my mother told me not to be sorry for myself, so I wasn't, and I found myself quite strong not h…
  • I pray that God grants peace and solice to both you and your family Prayforrepentance.
  • Another reason why marriage is hard is because the sacrament of Matrimony is not one that is required for salvation. So if we fulfill the sacraments that are required and the first and foremost one being the sacrament of repentance then the couple w…
  • Prayforrepentance I think you will have to humbly ask yourself: Is the marriage wotth your effort? It sounds like both sides are suffering (if it was for Christ's sake then there wouldn't be a problem) and that the chilrens welfare has become secon…
  • I will always be a hopeless Jonah even though the fish spat me out and seek a commonlaity through my past sin that they may join me in repentance. In pride people justify themselves believing the humble are weak so are never helping the humble bec…
  • Only a select group of Bishops can grant the spiritual divorce. What is their criteria? I don't know, I would of thought that one party would totally be not willing to reconcile with their sin and in doing so be a total stumbling block to the other…
  • Welcome dear brother in Christ.
  • Adultery as a sin is also corrupted and the couple are no longer in the unity of Christ and don't represent Christ to others. As for other issues, they are sinful but the sin of abuse is trials and tribulations in which we all have.
  • In the gay marriage question, they break the first covenant of God looking after mankind from generation to generation. It is in our liturgy and they cannot produce heirs as God wills. The love is corrupted and cannot produce more love through child…
  • The nasty people succeed because they wear pride as a coat (something on the outside) as in the description of the Leviathan in Job 41:15-16  His rows of scales are his pride, Shut up tightly as with a seal; One is so near another That no air can co…
  • We become light in glorification of Jesus Christ. Our goal is to maintain our salvation least we lose it by sin. We glorify Christ when we obey Him as it is a reflection of Him in our life. We also honour Him in His glory by placing value in our w…
  • Hello needadvice,   Sorry to hear you are suffering from this situation and I pray for your integrity and strength in Jesus Christ.    In Jesus we seek unity with our brethren in peace, after all, we are sociable and were created in oneness in His l…
  • Pope Shenouda had said that what combines Christians is faith. So from there the question is; is that enough? No, but it is a starting point.You are right about the ground and it can also be seen as different levels. If we ask for God's mercy and ha…
  • If you open it it will have hexagons down the left hand side. Click on the Arabic and at the bottom there are some icons. Click the little world one and it changes from arabic to english. God bless you my brother.
  • You can change it to english my friend. Is theoretorical faith of the heart ? Sorry no. That is why I was speaking Jesus's commandments about love. Love is perfected by our works internally and externally in Christ Jesus and faith by those works in…
  • Hi Mike Do you have the Kenonia app on your phone? If not get it please. It talks about this very subject of faith and works. This is what it says: James 2:17 Thus also faith by itself.if it does not have works is dead. The commentary on t…
  • In the meantime I will pray for you. No pun intended.
  • My story is the same but a male. But he bought me out of my sin and brought me to God. I will try and support you but know that the trails and tribulations bring you closer to God. I won't talk too much for now and I count myself very blessed by …
  • 1 Peter 3:3-4 3 Do not let your adornment be merely outward - arranging the hair, wearing gold, or putting on fine apparel - 4 rather let it be the hidden person of the heart, with incorruptible beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is very p…
  • I pray you will be strong in Christ Jesus. Our Lords Jesus Christ law is love. So be strong in that. If you can remember this in your thoughts: Titus 3 1  Remind them to be subject to rulers and authorities to obey, to be ready for every g…
  • Thanks Mina. I can only offer my prayers.
  • Forgive me Lord Jesus for I have strayed from imitating You for you did not put forward Your Holy Father as the means of peace, but it is You whom gave Your live that we live in Your peace.
  •    I will pray for them.   My Lord Jesus Christ help them to know You, soften their hearts because of You for your wisdom that is the true knowledge of their salvation. Guide me My Lord that I may do your work by prayer in the hope of change.…
  • Sorry minasoliman my brother   I will explain a bit about myself. When I was ten years old, God saved my life and from this I knew His love and that I was to love Him. As I was adopted I was born into a world of strangers. All of these strangers arg…
