The Stages Of Temptation & Addiction: Part 1 by Fr . Anthony Mourad

What are the stages of temptation that lead to sin and addiction?
In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, One God, Amen.
My beloved we have often been taught that the devil is the greatest adversary of mankind. Constantly trying to make us fall in his traps, wanting us to distance ourselves from God and in so doing, giving ourselves over entirely to the slavery of sin and the passions. St. Peter describes this very warfare by warning us that we must “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.” (1 Peter 5:8) And so, it is only befitting for us, if we are to battle valiantly in our daily spiritual warfare, to take the time and study the tactics used by the devil in his attempts to make us fall.

Coptic Orthodox Answers Hi Aba; I have a general question that I am wondering if COA would consider doing a video on, unless it has been addressed in another video already. Where or to whom would I send such questions. Thank you, Aba. In Christ, Musa

Can i cut wrong freind ship?

[@CopticOrthodoxAnswers]

The short answer is: if the friendship is influencing you negatively then you do need to take a step back. But if you are able to influence the person positively without being negatively influenced yourself, then don't cut it. But please keep in mind that we don't know the personal situation so we would definitely encourage you to seek local guidance. God bless
