Anyone: "Hel-"
Copt: "Copts are the indigenous people of Egypt. We are not Arab. We are not black. We are not white. We are not Asian or European. If you call me any of these things I will cease all communication with you forever. I AM THE DIRECT DESCENDENT OF RAMESSES II AND I-"
Huge red flag 🚩🚩🚩
The young man identified himself as a Coptic Christian and an Arab. Coptic Christians do not identify as Arab. In fact, they despise the label. They are native Egyptians. Did they think we would not catch this nonsense?
Christ is risen.
This is the single most significant event in history. Today is the day Christ was vindicated as the one whom the Law, the Prophets, and the Psalms testified about.
He took a small group of men and women, many of whom had just abandoned him and were terrified for their lives, and transformed them into bold proclaimers of his resurrection—the very message that took over the Roman Empire and spread throughout the entire world. If they could do this as a small, persecuted group, then all 2 billion+ of us can do it today. Go proclaim Christ every day of your life.
@Acts17David You'll do what you feel you have to do, and it's not my place to argue with that. You know the situation better than any of us here. It's just unfortunate it's come to this. I pray God uses this to his glory in the end and restores anyone who has fallen away. God forgive us all.
Pornography is POISON for your soul.
I'll never forget 5-ish years ago I quit casually viewing porn forever.
About 40 days in my wife was traveling, I felt stressed, & that feeling came back to me.
I took a deep breath & opened my Bible randomly to Proverbs 26 where it said,
"As a dog returns to its vomit, so fools repeat their folly."
It hit me hard, that's what I would be doing.
I always felt guilt, shame, & sadness immediately after.
I knew it was demonic viewing women (Gods children) in this way.
I urge every man to QUIT PORN, cancel only fans & honor yourself, your wife, your future wife, & God.
It is demonic.
By viewing it you are promoting trafficking & horrific evil.
CANCEL PORN FELLAS.
No more Luke warm.
When the Lord Jesus said, “Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces,"
The dogs and swine were spoken prophetically about Jay Dyer et al.
Prayers have been attacked by the left as ineffectual. Let us examine what acceptable prayers look like. Prayers is asking for something. Do we ask a stranger to give us something and expect to get it. We can’t just ask God for things when we need it rather than need Him, while we neglect Him for the rest of the time. Second, prayers can only be boosted by a contrite humble and pure heart. Third He knows what we need before we need it. He is a loving God, like us with our loved ones, He wants us to be in communication with Him out of love and not out of need. Rambling ideas after attending church from an old man that most don’t understand who he is!
