Saint Paul didn't go around holding a cross, he preached the cross: the Lord Jesus Christ crucified for our sins, and risen again. Believing that gospel is how people get saved ... it is not by spending a year in a monastery praying and praying and praying. That's paganism:
"But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking." Matthew 6:7.
@MQ1611 "Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. " 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18.
"Now it came to pass in those days that He [Jesus] went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God." Luke 6:12
Jesus' all night in prayer was for a rare special event, not a constant practice. Paul explained, "continuing instant in prayer" (Rom. 12:12). Live the life and pray to God instantly as needs arise (Nehemiah 2:4-5). But don't do like the foolish Orthodox monks who sit around saying vain repetitions! That is pagan, as the Lord Jesus said: "But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking." Mt. 6:7.
I retract calling you a "demonized moron" ... Although I doubt you are saved, I can't vouch for any further diagnosis of your pathology without speculating.
please do not speak of such a respected man so negatively without first learning more about him. Im pretty sure you have never read any of his books or listened to any of his sermons except this one. And I call tell this because anyone who truly knows about Pope shenouda would never write such a disrespectful comment about him.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The man didn't mention the Lord Jesus Christ one single time. Whoever put the video up with all the pictures of Jesus Christ has a lot more sense than this "pope" (Matthew 23:9; 1 Timothy 2:5).
@MQ1611 umm, hes talking about God... i think as Christians Jesus falls under the category of God. Im guessing you know nothing about Pope Shenouda the 3rd, How many books hes written on Jesus, the divinity of Jesus, the trinity, the sacrifice... You sound a lot like one of those peoples who loves to sit down and pass judgement.
Nobody can come to God except by JESUS CHRIST (read 1 Timothy 2:5) because Jesus paid for our sins at the cross. This confused old man (not a "holiness" nor a "pope") preaches religious junk that won't save anybody. Pray and repent and go to hell. Pray, fast, repent, do good deeds and stop sinning --- and go directly to hell. Cry night and day for God for 50 years straight and then go to hell. Nobody comes to God except by Jesus Christ's gift of salvation when he died for our sins.
@MQ1611 its people like you that give christianity and Christ a bad name, and people like you who turn people away from the love of God. This is the pope of the coptic orthodox CHRISTIAN church. You are one of those confused martin luther following christians who say "believe in jesus and do nothing else and go to heaven". Jesus spoke of people like you saying "not everyone who says to me O lord will enter the kingdom of heaven".
I assure you on the authority of Holy Scripture that you are most certainly headed straight for a devil's hell and will burn in the lake of fire forever unless you believe in Jesus Christ alone for salvation. You fight God, not me or Martin Luther. Read Romans and Galatians. God help you.
@MQ1611 Who told you I dont believe in the Salvation of Jesus? Who told you that I think there are other ways to heaven besides Jesus Christ? I know there is no way to heaven except through Jesus, but I also know If you believe in Jesus and do not repent you have no part with Jesus, your belief in Jesus is in vein. And you need to stop going around telling people who is going to hell and who isnt. Are you the Lord? Shall we call you the Alpha and the Omega. There is but one Judge
@MQ1611 why do u make Jesus has no authority to forgive sins and do miracles? "A mediator, however, does not represent just one party; but God is one."Gal 3:20 I think u got confused about "A mediator"
Protestant didn't invented untill 16 century and Orthodox been almost for 2000yrs. was established by christ him self pases thorugh deciples & our fathers. Religion is personal choice & christianity is carying the cross & worshipping God ,but not anti -group & entertaiment I hope u get the point
Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.... the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us" (John 1:1,14) and he is the mediator, "For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;" (1 Tim 2:5).
Most Orthodox are just culturally religious people who have never experienced the new birth because their unsaved "priests" never told them about it.
@MQ1611: I don't see your point. The guy is a Christian so he obviously believes in Christ, what difference does it make if he didn't mention "Jesus" and instead said "God" in one of his sermons that you happened to listen to?
I could make the remark that you didn't mention "God" in your post, should that be cause for me to worry?
@MQ1611 Did Shenouda deny the Son? No. Mentioning God and happening to not the exact name "Son" or "Jesus" does not mean that he's denying the Son. You are making leaps of logic here that are pretty wild. I don't see why you quoted this verse. From reading your posts, it seems like you are fond of knowing a lot of scripture verses, but not too fond of applying them correctly.
Please tell me one thing about Shenouda's sermon (the one above, about prayer to God and never mentioning Jesus Christ) would offend a Moslem. The pictures of Jesus might offend them, but not the words. They have their "Allah" and they pray a lot too.
@MQ1611 I don't understand what your point is. Why do you want me to find something from his sermon that offends Muslims? Why didn't you answer my previous question and what do Muslims even have to do with this discussion? Are you implying that Christian sermons should offend Muslims, or they are somehow inherently useless?
@MQ1611 yes, of course. we all do, some of us deny it, and some of us believe but don't take it to consideration. We love all, Pope Shenouda is a great man, and I know you are too, this is why we love all. God bless all of us and have mercy on us on the last day. AMEN YA RAB. BARIKNA, IHFAZNA, SA3DNA.

" ...the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) observed:
Verily Islam started as something strange and it would again revert ( to its old position) of being strange just as it started, and it would recede between the two mosques just as the serpent crawls back into its hole. "
@pureheart2003 more importantly read Psalm 183 God tells us directly the Ishmaleites are not his people. They want to cut of Zion and do battle with the GOD. Then it goes on to mention every nation that will do battle. When you read these names understand they are all islamic nations. Look it up persia, turkey, egypt, palestine, etc...... God is Great. As its says "I am GOD and there are none like me. Proclaiming the END FROM THE BEGGINING." Gods word tells us what was and is to come
@MDIS You're in the US, which is a christian country, and you're asking "how do I convert?"....to what?...Christianity?...shouldn't you start going to a christian church and speak with a pastor or priest to give you an understanding of the questions you might have?...I'm a christian orthodox, sorry for the delay in responding to you, I didn't take your message serious, please forgive me.
actually I am orthodox and I think the so called "protestant" pictures invoke more emotion than the boring 2 dimensional pictures (icons) at church. art in every region of the world evolved, medieval art gave way to Renaissance art, which gave way to baroque. it evolved everywhere except in orthodoxy. No change for the sake of no change is sometimes foolish.
@007Yup they want to keep the tradition of the byzantine icon style, it won't change, they are painted like that for a reason, they're are not supposed to smitten anybody or make people view the icons differently than what they are intended to be viewed as. I also like other christian paintings.
@007Yup If you are Orthodox, you should know that the seat of the emotions is in the bowels (according to my priest, and other articles I've read). That's why they don't use emotional images. Emotions are fleeting, are with you one moment, then they fade away.

... "And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them," Jeremiah 43:12-13.
Your church is dead wood and needs a revival. You need to dump the religious garbage and get saved. Back to the Bible!
