@@johanjolif8272 the first book I read was Orthodoxy and the Kingdom of Satan and The UFO Deception. I both enjoyed reading them, they are very well written and thus very easy to read, also for someone like me where English is not his or her first language.

Maybe these are the first words seek first the kingdom of heaven and his righteousness and all these things shall be added unto you. St mark is part of God's kingdom the fact that St mark made the Coptic faith means that God will add to your life through life from death by death . Through jesus to more life through death by death . The psalms of David is life from sin look at davids story . The fact that St mark is using them in the agpeya he is proving life comes from death in the hours of death turning into life because that is the kingdom of heaven and God's righteousness God reverses the unmatchable .the agpeya translates to the book of hours . It helps a christian structure their day in christs suffering and they dedicate their day to christ not being complete with God because no one is complete with God . A way one can be complete with God is that they only want him even though they sin . Some sin and don't want him . Wanting christ gives you a better taste to him . To add to being complete only by going back to him isn't as good as saying you can get a better taste of christ . Why? You're showing more fruits of the holy spirit . You're showing virtue. These are the fruits of the spirit . These are the good things about coptic orthodox. The honour for God's body and blood holy communion is immense . God works through his people to show even if it's one person you will listen . It's hypocritical if we don't. We accept Jonah. We accept mary Magdalene. We don't accept mark. St mark the evangelist is an apostle . We follow christ and the apostles . We follow their writings . A way to not ignore them is by looking in depth to everything we are told about them .With blessings of hymns kzbin.info/www/bejne/nV7HfGmolrKYfZY kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zpioq56VhbikqMU kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2TSmGmZn7qUl6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/sHLZqpaZiK-Mm5I kzbin.info/www/bejne/l2mUm4mplMSeqM0 kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKS7fZ2ml9iGqpY kzbin.info/www/bejne/Zmq1mK2khJ6LnpI kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2Wni4aNfbdooqs

My wife reposed five days ago. She died in the heart of the Church and her mysteries. Please pray for her soul, though I suspect we need her prayers more than she needs ours. Her last months of terminal illness were spent preparing for Paradise according to the teachings of the Orthodox Church. She smelt of myrrh when she reposed. Twenty witnesses smelled it when she reposed. What sorrowful joy we experienced.

[@novaxdjokovic9592]

To repose in such a manner is truly a gift. You will see your wife again. I hope our Lord comforts you in this time as I'm sure He comforts her. God bless you brother.

[@fotiniioannidis3375]

This message is very applicable to my life, and many I see around me. I resisted God for years because I knew what it would mean once I decided to take His hand and follow Him. I knew what kind of sacrifice I needed to make, and I didn't want to make it, because I was enjoying my "sin" too much at the time, even though my life and my soul felt empty. Once I decided to take His hand, everything changed. I changed. Some people even turned away from me, as Christ said they would. And now I am going through the biggest suffering of my life to date. I look at my loved ones, ignoring the knock on their door and rejecting the hand of God to pursue their own desires, which in their delusion they believe will fulfil and complete them, as I once did. And fleeing from Christ because they know what kind of transformation lies ahead... What kind of suffering awaits. Who wants to suffer? But Christ expects us to take up our cross willingly and suffer as He did. The kind of sacrifice He seeks is our life. It is a very hard teaching to accept. But there is no other way. God bless you Father Spyridon. Χριστός Ανέστη και το έργο σου να είσαι πάντα ευλογημένο

Tough 8 hour, 280 q test with minimal break time and I got through it with a cool head. Don't think I am sure how the result will end up, having my doubts, yet I can look past this. I am surely not abandoned, nor have I ever been abandoned by God. Eh, I can work someplace else as a doctor or change careers.

[@PrayerSpaceApp]

This is where I come for peace. Real truth is identified by the comfort it brings in its wake, and if that truth is hard or harsh, one can always gain greater confidence in its authenticity when the sense one gets is antithetical to that prevailing world view. We feel pain, but when we do not react to it as the world reacts, when we understand the reason for it, we can overcome it with the embodiment of that very understanding.

That makes me ponder my terrible preparation. Am i ready to meet the Lord? Me thinks not. Coincidentally I have been discussing this with the lord regularly after communion. Scary!

Please come HOME. Rome broke the west away from the Orthodox Catholic Christian Faith in 1954. Orthodoxy never had the pride to think it knows better than Jesus, nor to make themselves into vicars ... Jesus IS Alive, so needs NO vicar. When Rome excommunicated the rest of the Church, it took itself away from The Faith revealed to Peter, and put a man, a Papa, in HIS place. Peter had the ROCK, the faith revealed to him by the Father ... Matthew 16 v 13 When Jesus came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? 14 And they said, Some say that thou art John the Baptist: some, Elias; and others, Jeremias, or one of the prophets. 15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. (No one comes to me unless The Father calls (him) John 6:44 No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. John 6:65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”
