There's another website I like to use for our synaxarium but the search functions on those websites are kinda unfriendly unless you know their Arabic names some times.
I have learned a ton about the saints from the readings at church like things I didn't know, I didn't know St. Peter and St. Paul both died at the same time. Or that St. Mark the evangelist was dragged behind a horse till his head was ripped off.
Yeah I always hated things like this because it implies the devil is equal to God and we know that isn't true!
I am not sure what you mean by this at all, I am not Roman Catholic, I am Oriental Orthodox, I grew up Protestant and was an atheist even dabbled into Satanism at one point then a few years ago God led me to the Coptic Orthodox Church.
Our Church was founded by St. Mark the Evangelist, we have changed very little since he founded us we can say we follow the same faith as the Apostle whom Christ taught (changes that have happened are things like the Nicene Creed where we say what we believe to combat heresies like Arianism). Even our Liturgy is taken from the Bible, which yesterday something even cooler I learned is the Bible is also based around the Liturgy! As in these times there were no printed Bibles (there wasn't even an established canon the one we use is extremely close to the list that St. Athanasius wrote down) so people went to the Church (Liturgy) and we're able to hear the word of God.
So to laugh at this, if you mean so in a mocking way shows you actually know very little about the Christian faith. To say something like the Cross is an idol is a very demonic thing to say, many times the saints have made the sign of the cross and the demons have fled from them.
I am very proud of my faith because I finally have a real relationship with God when previously I was lost in darkness.
Isaiah 9:2
The Church has never been "subverted" and the cross is not an idol. It is a powerful symbol from which Christ defeated death on and the devil flees from it.
Sure, I can link you from our synaxarium.
Psyop implies it was done by the government does it not?
I disagree, I believe Santa was Satan turning a Saint into his own twisted image. St. Nicholas the bishop of Myra loved Christ a great deal, there was a man who had three daughters and he was going to sell each off because he had no money and no way to provide for them. Instead St. Nicholas took a sack of money and threw it through his window to which the first daughter was able to be married off, he did this for the next two girls on the third girl the man waited to see who was giving this money and when he discovered it was St. Nicholas he thanked him greatly. St. Nicholas gave to the poor out of his love for Christ and this isn't taught anymore "Santa" is a twisted distortion of this holy saint.
Being Orthodox we celebrate it on the 7th of January (Coptic Orthodox is on the old calendar) so I explained to my kids we wouldn't be able to afford any gifts for them (the last two months I have been trying to find a job after being unemployed, my buisness I own doesn't make enough to count as meaningful employment, and no success) when a few days ago my brother (not by blood or marriage) and his friend tell me to make an Amazon list for gifts for the kids. The then bought everything on the list. After that a day or so later my step mom fed exed me a package which was 100$ for Amazon and 200$ for Walmart which I again used almost all it for the kids with the exception of buying a much needed kitchen mixer.
I never once lost faith, I knew that God would provide for us and giving gifts wasn't what is important on Christmas but is a very nice addition. God provides in all things.
From the comments on that site
Looking on Robin Monotti and Mike Yeadon’s Telegram channel, it seems that someone called “Lau Mdz” forwarded this article to them and they posted it. It doesn’t appear that Mike Yeadon actually wrote it! So many things are being shared out of context these days – it pays to check every source!!
I usually only get my cat done with the rabies, because I have four who like to go in and out of the house and one that stays in the house. We have known rats in the area and I don't want to risk it.
😂 don't forget about that winter vagina
Here in Florida (Ocoee area) saw a guy with a HUGE Lets Go Brandon flag on the back of his truck. Was great.
It's actually common for sexual abused people to turn homosexual. Homosexuality isn't natural at all and a lot of it is caused by traumatic experience. I think the ones who claim they never were traumatized were raised in an ultra liberal environment or just exposed to the corruption of the world brainwashed.
Why do we call them Sheep? I hate this trend the most I think. We are the sheep and Christ is the good Shepherd, we should call them goats or wolves or snakes. Honestly to be a sheep is a blessing, you are pure and trusting following your Shepherd and no harm comes to you.
Only thing Israel provided us with was killing Jesus Christ to fulfill the prophecy so He might fulfill the payment.
If it's just like salt then it probably was taking to much. I know from experience when I eat waaaaaaay to many salted sunflower seeds (I love sucking the salt of them) I get the runs pretty bad.
I will say this, the Coptic Church so far are the ones I have seen give the most. It's mostly to those in the Church because they take care of their own families, but they do have their own non profit organizations and do things to help people in Africa a lot. It makes sense considering they are African after all.
Some terrorist group, who has more than 80 million people because isn't that how many Pedo Joe won by or something 🤔 guess it takes a made up orginization to combat made up votes.
My kids once where kidnapped by DCF I fought for two years to get them back. The amount of illegal things DCF can do even here in Florida is astounding. They almost broke me one year when I attempted suicide but thank God He didn't allow me to die. My kids have been back home for almost a year now and the two foster families my kids were in they were both Christians. God really protected my children from what illegal kidnapping the government did to them.
This was an article I found from looking up about a homily from St. John Chrysostom about the good thief on the cross and I think it is actually a good read they even mention what one of our Popes said on it (Pope Theophlius our 23rd Pope).
They do say he had a face lift or something before starting campaigning, I don't believe it though because he changed TOO much for just s face lift.
It's gone now, did anyone have an archive?
Like a lion would imply a mane, but also I am not Protestant and we don't interpret Revelation like you guys do. 🤷♀️ Revelation has happened many times already actually, especially with people like Nero.
I wasn't going to respond but I see you edited your original post I was responding to so I am going to address that.
Those are not my people as you have put it, they are Protestants. I have already told you I am Coptic Orthodox. Now let me tell you something about the financial aspect of this, my family is incredibly poor, I have been unemployed since the start of the pandemic (June 2020 actually) for a while I tried to get my business to take off but it doesn't make enough money to qualify as meaningful employment and we have been living off the stimulus checks as well as tax return money. For a while now I have been trying to get a job that makes some kind of money just enough to pay our bills which is only 1.2k$ a month something I am grateful for being so low.
In the meantime I have depended much on my church for help, they have programs in my diocese to help those in my situation that people donate to. Not to mention my priest has helped me a great deal, not to long ago our vehicle broke there was a leak in the gas tank and he told me to take it to this mechanic shop. I did this and they fixed it, I couldn't afford this at all but my priest knew this and he took care of it. Last Christmas he asked me what the children needed and the Church gave us a lot of new clothes and shoes as well as a few toys for them. When we needed food Medhat brought us food from the Church's food bank.
I am not the only one who is like this we have many families who are struggling and in need and the Church takes care of them. This is seen much more in places like Egypt with the families over there. We do not just take care of our own either as we have programs to help others in Africa especially children in need of supplies for school. (The reason we focus on Africa is because that is where the Church is established, America would be considered the disporia).
As you have said you will not respond and that is okay, sometimes it isn't about the other person's response but those who are reading it or experiencing the conversation that took place. I can truly say that I am in the Church of God as God is present in all aspects of my faith, my life, and the Church herself.
