It’s okay to celebrate both... I celebrated both since forever... well I have half of my family evangelical, in Egypt so I have no excuse to do it here too... but why not? Another day to praise God in.
.As rina said this is a sad reality... what I have to say is before he gets married, take him to a psychologist.... I know he might not agree to meet a shrink, but that is needed, since he doesn’t wanna talk to abouna... right now this person if h…
When abouna says the absolution, he prays for the forgiveness of sins, willingly and unwillingly... knowingly, and unknowingly. So if you forget to mention some... it will be forgiven, it you choose not say some, it will not.
and a deacon also could give blood.... but for me I would like what God chooses for me.... whether it is a monk, or a priest... I dont care what comes from God is good.
"Show proper respect to everyone" (1 peter 2:17)
I totally agree... we all should respect each other... doesn’t matter if you are a Christian a Muslim or a Jew... we are ordered to love one another. Especially on a Christian website... I know I a…
This is wrong.They believe in the real presence Of Christ in the Holy Eucharist.That it turns into the real body and blood of Jesus Christ
I said I could be corrected on that comment… because I was not sure.... so thank you

I don’t think you should start debating.... something I am always told by my priest is don’t talk to these people,

Mine, if you couldn’t figure out, is saint Bishoy... he is awesome, I learn, and learned soooooooo much from him. Also I was named after him.... so I am sure he is praying for me up there.... hopefully. May he pray for us all.
Well, your teacher did not deserve to teach, especially in second grade.... but GOD is more important, and through him you love, and respect other people... So God first, you second, people third.
