🚨BREAKING: Coptic Christian apologist Dr. Augustinos Samaan reportedly faces severe abuse and a five-year sentence of hard labor in an Egyptian prison!

Dr. Augustinos Samaan, a prominent Egyptian Coptic Christian preacher and religious scholar known for his YouTube ministry comparing faiths, was taken into custody without warning at 1:30 a.m.

According to reports from human rights advocates, Dr. Samaan was subjected to brutal prison conditions, including torture, cigarette burns, severe neglect, and starvation behind closed doors while authorities pressured him to renounce his faith.

For his Christian outreach and public ministry, Egyptian courts sentenced Dr. Samaan to five years of hard labor, leading to international outcry from human rights organizations monitoring Coptic Christian persecution in the region.

Tragically, just three months into his imprisonment, his beloved mother passed away from grief and medical complications—with authorities denying Dr. Samaan the chance to attend her funeral or lay her to rest.

With Egyptian courts recently rejecting his first legal appeal, Christians and human rights advocates around the world are raising their voices to demand accountability, justice, and his immediate release!

Please keep him and his family in your prayers🙏🏽❤️

One day, this life will end. The only question is where your soul will spend forever... ⤵️

Saint Jacinta Marto learned this when she was still just a child.

In 1917, Jacinta, her brother Francisco, and their cousin Lúcia witnessed the apparitions of Our Lady at Fátima. During one apparition, the children were shown a terrifying vision of Hell.

Jacinta never forgot it.

She began praying more. She offered sacrifices for sinners. She became deeply concerned for souls who were far from God.

Later, she said:
→ “If men knew what eternity is, they would do everything to change their lives.”

She understood something we can easily forget.

This life is short. Eternity is not.

We spend years planning our careers, saving money, chasing comfort, and preparing for the future. But how much time do we spend preparing our souls to meet God?

Jesus warned us to repent, stay awake, and care more about saving our souls than gaining the whole world.

Jacinta was not trying to make people live in fear. She wanted them to wake up while there was still time to turn back to God.

💬 Be completely honest: if God showed you today where your current path was leading, what is the FIRST thing you would change?

@SoliDeoGloria_X @PhinnJack @TheHolySea You can also read the Didache written sometime between 80-100AD describing baptism by pouring and the Bible mentioned households getting baptized... which would include all family members.

[Mr.MadCat @mrmadcatz]

@westb47876 @CatholicSOTC The Didache is a good place to start, letters from polycarp, and letters of bishop ignatius of antioch to the smyrneans, romans, Philadelphians etc. Polycarp, Irranaeous and other early church fathers between 80AD-300AD.

[Mr.MadCat @mrmadcatz]

@T_A_MMA @lambypies @Math_files Brother if there are 2 (25%)you can reduce to 3 options: 25%, 50% and 0%... thats 33% chance of being right. That is not an option therefore 0% is the answer lol

[Mr.MadCat @mrmadcatz]

@MrBabbage_ @Math_files If two answers are the same you are left with 33% chance of being correct... because there is no 33% as an answer.... you have 0% chance of being correct.

@l_vliet72077 @ComeHometoRome “According to the flesh” (κατὰ σάρκα) here means judging or knowing someone by ordinary human, worldly, external, or pre-resurrection standards: by appearance, social status, ethnicity, or the limited way people knew Jesus during His earthly ministry.

The real reason why Protestants have 66 Books in their Bible. Fr. Schmtiz

[Mr.MadCat @mrmadcatz]

The whole point of the verse is to illustrate obedience to God is more important than ancestry that is true, all throughout the Bible right at the onset of Matthew we learn this through John the Baptist when he rebukes the Sadducees and Pharisees who come to get baptized and claim they are owed baptism due to ancestry. In the verse in question it illustrates that it's Mary's obedience to God matters more. "Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word." Luke 1:38.. this is what honors the Lord and occurs before the verse in question so we know for the reader this is what it is in reference to. Luke does not treat her obedience as merely one example among many. He structures it the opening chapters so that her obedient response is the hinge on which the entire slavation story turns and the rest of the book itself is not silent appreciation but a Spirit inspired declaration of her blessedness. “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!” and “And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord.” Luke 1:41-45. This precedent elevates Mary above other women precisely because of her obedient faith and anyone who refuses any special verbal or public honor are the ones departing from the book's own pattern. The Greek particle μενοῦνγε can function as “yes, and even more…” or “indeed, rather….” meaning his response is not a rebuke of Mary's veneration by the anon woman. Jesus redirects the basis of blessing to obedience and Luke already made Mary the supreme isntance of that basis. The book of Luke itself invites us to give her that special recognition rather than treat her as just another disciple.

@SloanRusset @OrthodoxChrist2 @5Solas Again if you dont read it in the greek and continue to read it at face value you come to the wrong conclusion. If you dont want to address my question then just say that.

[Mr.MadCat @mrmadcatz]

Okay didnt realize this was a formal debate but thats a fair reply.

In Luke 14:26 Jesus uses the word “hate” (Greek miseō). Almost everyone recognizes that taking it in a strictly modern English-literal sense produces an absurd and unbiblical result. Would you agree?

The word is understood idiomatically/hyperbolically in light of the Greek and the parallel in Matthew 10:37 (“loves more than me”). You have been arguing that the wording in Luke 11 should be read in a more surface-level way and that appeals to Greek nuance or context are secondary or unnecessary. My question is simply this: why does the Greek/cultural context matter for miseō in Luke 14 but not for the language under discussion in Luke 11?

[Mr.MadCat @mrmadcatz]

@SloanRusset @OrthodoxChrist2 @5Solas So then you hate your mother and father to be a disciple of Jesus? Using your hermeneutics here.... same book different verse. Im trying to illustrate the point that we can take everything literal as you've described without the appropriate context of the Greek.
