"It is more blessed to give than to receive." -Acts 20:35
This is especially (ironically) used around Christmas time.
On a possibly unrelated side note, Christ never said "When I forgive, I forget" as people seem to always attribute to him. I have …
I know the feeling. You have to be very careful not to allow your overwhelmed feelings to inhibit your judgement. Any temptations you face which you're scared of succumbing to, which seem to offer, at least, a temporary escape from the world, will u…
Fr. Peter, I'm not sure if I interpreted your post correctly, but I believe you're saying that we, as humans, in the image of God, should not act on any of these instincts. This brings up a question that has actually been bothering me for a long tim…

Father of Apocalypse... Why don't they just call it "Ghalamsees"? Why Abu?
[/quote]
it's not the Arabic word "Abu," it's our horrible accents that make it sound that way.
When I was much younger...maybe 10, 11, 12 years old (something like that) my cousin, who is a couple years younger than me, was over my house. While he was there, Abouna came to visit. He came in and we had him sit down, and then everyone went to h…

By the way guys, when I was really little my mother mixed the names George and Mina (it was originally intended to be a hyphenated first name, but ended up being to separate names, and so Mina counts as a middle name) and got "Jimmy" out of it. That…
Ah, I see it's time for the weekly debate-vs.-Catholicism thread.
I honestly have no problem with them viewing St. Peter as their first pope. Christ said he would be the rock upon which His church would be founded, and the Roman Catholic church is …

I'm not sure that'll help. In his eyes, he is not unjustified, and the world as a collective whole is against him, which would include us. There's no guarantee that it won't become heated this time around.
