This is a horrible atrocity that was done by evil demons who have no regard for human life. They just want to kill what is in the way. It is not just in Egypt that they are killing, it is all over the world. They must be stop ASAP or else they are just going to keep on killing and more innocent victims are going to die.
I feel deep sorrow about bombing over Egyptian Coptic orthodox follower
Our brothers and sisters died as martyrs. They followed our Lord and God Jesus Christ to death. Nothing has been taken away from them because they are not here on earth with us. In fact they are happy and better off to be with the Lord. It is a shame there are people who expect heavenly reward by killing their brothers and sisters. We pray for you that you may not die before knowing the Lord!
We love u Dear brothers and sisters from Egypt. Ur christian life is a symbol for all of us who are not Coptic. but orthodox. All this troubles will make u even firmer than they can imagine. Our fathers say Christian and a nail always get strong when hit . they think they ll make u give up on ur religion. but they are mistaken. even they give us all strength to be even better christian. When God raised his hand they are not going to resist it( they better take care with whom they fight) bse they are fighting with him not anyone else.
I fill sorry for our Egyptians brothers and sisters but God is Mercy,he will punish the Devil and his followers. .Ohoo Lord please give them true heart to think a positive things for those who teror the christians.Christianity will never let down until the end of the world but some Ignorant people are trying to stop the relation b/n God and the Oriental Orhodox Christian’s .
I feel sorry for our Egyptian brothers and sisters.I want to tell u that u will be more and more strong ,not be threatned by such evil acts .We believe in the almighty God who teach us how to live on earth and the different problems we face during our life on it.Don’t feel much sorry for the brothers and sisters u lost because we are strangers on earth ,our home is in heaven.
may the almighty help u have nice chrismass free of chaos ,bleeding and sorrow.
For how long the land of Egypt would drink the blood of Christian Martyrs ???
Very sorry to hear the news. The men behind this horrible act are misguided that killing their brotheren would bring them close to God and it would please Him. Let us pray to Almighty to forgive them. May God extend His loving hands and console those who lost their dear ones.
I visited this church in mid seventies. I am a member of Indian Orthodox church.
i really feel sorry for our egyptian brothers may the lord guide their souls amen!
