I guess I don't want to be thought of as a saint walking the narrow way. Otherwise I will get angry if people don't respect my saintly ways
I did not know if you can even help me but even if you could I guess I didn't want to give any of the glory to you because I wanted you guys to respect me and I can't keep coming here for everything. I should see only my FOC but I reach a mental blank when I go to see him

If anyone does not work he shall not eat

I know you may be sick one day and you will worry life passed you by without accomplishing your side dreams and vision and worry you lose or never have  an image as a person full of life and full of the Spirit and full of wisdom you worry about seeming strange and being a bad example you worry that you are a bad example because people judge you if you are lazy by your accomplishments and you judge yourself
but still we look for approval from God and not from man

We must make work our portion as Job says all life is labor like a hired servant

We are not to set our heart on riches as a reward though we can work for it
David says about the fool he has "more" than heart could wish
we can be rich but not be greedy we should seek growth in godliness above all things
and be useful to society and others to integrate in society

Perhaps when God sees you work hard he will somehow make room for other things in your life

We are to rest when God says we can rest..having hope for the joys of the heavenly country in which there is a time for all things

Even though pope shenouda iii says

"We cannot watch the world as it perishes!
But we must work for its sake
so long as it is in our ability to do so"
Pope Shenouda

I have no choice. I leave it to God to watch over His world

Why should I lose the virtue of hard work and make conflict with all people who demand I get work done

I hope pleasing these people is making the world benefited

It is not our work which brings men to God

"Noone can come to the Me except the Father draw him"

where does that leave people who have abandoned work?

there can not be such people as they condemn those who work and discourage them They must find a hobby and make work for it like the monks made baskets
Everyone must work to his abilities they must work in some fashion or another to support themselves and other even if it is spiritual labor like St Paul something that clearly benefits a person people must not settle for a little for the one talent but must try to make more

However I will say year 12 made me so heavy laden from work and my sins I could not help but have suicidal thoughts but I came to Jesus as He says "Come to Me all you who are heavy laden and I will give you rest"

I don't think we should feel guilty for having breaks if we are not overdoing?
it and we are not giving our first strength or our strength to it but it naturally feels as acceptable

Maybe I should not use this forum anymore but I know when I am lacking strength to study and when I am confused
"out of the heart spring the issues of life "
I just have concerns I worry that the comfort and guidance in my heart is not the best or realistic so I put it here to be

I just wanted to say I want to be off this forum but I feel my tiredness has a spiritual reason so I come here I need to feel God is not abandoning me or punishing me for not doing some spiritual time

It is the putting of anything above duty and holiness which explains
"and the desire for other things entering in choke the word and he becomes unfruitful "
"obedience makes fruit grow on a stick "]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13987/no-bible-no-blessing-from-the-lord Fri, 07 Dec 2012 04:40:33 +0000 mikeforjesus 13987@/community/discussions I guess that could be right so we don't blame God  30 minutes might be beneficial
But I stopped reading completely as when I was sick on a med not even bible reading made me control lust as I was suffering

I am a loner but I have issues with those around me so I seek a distraction sometimes
it seems even if I work hard but the professor does not think I have he can fail me but so far things have been good for me
I wasn't playing often for this very reason yet others they have friends go out but I see them studying hard as well. They are more healthy than me
To be crushed by another man is something strange that not even God can help me
reap some negative consequences but He can comfort me probably

It's true if professors have been scaling me which I don't know I don't deserve to be in Uni but what should they do crush me and stop people from having dreams ?

Now you be humble loving and charitable with those around you or be prepared to suffer here or in the world to come]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13971/way-of-deletion-part-5 Mon, 03 Dec 2012 08:18:23 +0000 mikeforjesus 13971@/community/discussions https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13960/produced-paraplyer-och-regnklaeder-att-oeka-dina-marknadsfoeringskampanj Sat, 01 Dec 2012 02:00:54 +0000 lucdaviskin 13960@/community/discussions

I think if I have to choose one as right it would be working hard. I value the spiritual blessing of it more than all the other. However I am not faithful over it.

However I am very very very afraid of the pain I will face moving along this path and it seeming impossible to move this path as if I am not supposed to walk it

I dont think the world likes to help geeks perhaps

Come to think of it I dont see why I would face any trouble from the world if I follow that path so I guess I am going to try very hard

As you all know, Egyptians have that mindset that their child has to be the best in everything, but I'm starting to think that it's not really the Christian way. I even talked to my priest today, and he said he will not ordain me subdeacon until I get accepted into a pharmacy school (don't think he was joking). Sometimes I feel like he and my parents care way too much about my worldly success, and not enough of about what's most important. Everytime I go to study, I tell myself that I'm doing for God, and to glorify His name, but is that true?

My question is: How do I keep that balance of motivation to succeed, while keeping in mind that we can die any second? In the end, is it truly worth all the stress and anxiety? How do I keep that fire in my heart for God while still succeeding?]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13902/how-can-we-fight-the-enemy Tue, 20 Nov 2012 03:15:04 +0000 binC 13902@/community/discussions

Many countries are following America's lead on same sex marriages. The UK, Sweden, Denmark and Germany have already established same sex marriage laws.

How do these laws affect Coptic Christians? Marriage, after all, is a sacrament. 
How should one reconcile his or her religious convictions with their innate need to be patriotic to their country?

What is the main difference between same sex unions and marriage???

My understanding was that same sex unions was what the government recognized - marriage was what the church recognized.

Are these so called equality laws intended to just antagonize religious institutions?

What value added feature is there in same sex marriages that same sex unions did not have?

Are you aware that your kids, whilst growing up in a county that has this law, will be taught at a young age that 2 men or two women can also get married and adopt to have kids? Are you all ok with this??

Did you know that it will be a crime to teach your kids that same sex marriage is wrong ? That's discriminating.

I'm surprised a bit by Obama - he stated before his first election that marriage is between 1 man and 1 woman. But throughout his tenure , he has been the strongest advocate of same sex marriage.

Do you feel disenfranchised with your country over this?

How can you raise kids with the same Christian values you were raised with?

it is a plain fact.. I told her my memory is bad .. she denies it..
Its very hard to get work done when I fall into this sin..
I tell her im depressed because of (not lust this time)... she denies it..

There are close friends I know who have achieved superior academic achievements and ofcourse they are rightly honored.. why am I finding it hard to do the same?
Everytime I start making progress and study well there is a voice inside me that tells me you are studying too much.. you look pathetic trying to be a saint because you will never be one ..you are studying too much don't forget to enjoy your life.. you havYe to study smarter not harder.. instead of facing unfavorable circumstances and disappointment over doing badly after you study hard..and end up blaspheming God.. or end up in despair.. I say you should just take it easy.. and try and study smarter... you are studying too much.. you are neglecting people
for your selfish ambitions...you want to be successful even though you have been shown time and again that God thinks you are unworthy of success since He makes you take so long to get work done...

other people also say we should take it easy God will help you pass and get it done.. God is not recording how many times you rejected any distracting suggestion.. God does not play karma... If God does not play Karma then why do people honor those with high achievements? they say even if you give into distraction God doesn't care.. He doesn't care how hard you are trying.. its all about having riches and studying smart.. God cares nothing for your worldly ambitions.. and is making it hard for you because He wants you out of the world and back into the church asap

the voice tells me you should not have any ambitions of your own alone.. you have to only do it with others or you are selfish and God will limit your success.. you can never be successful like Job or any of the saints because you will be proud.. you are unworthy to be a successful entrepeneur like the millionaires.. you will live off only your parents money and devour it with nothing left for your children because you are not worthy to be considered a helper of your children..look how many times you have been lazy.. and you think that is going to change any time soon? study smarter not harder.. God doesn't care about your hard work you have to care for yourself.. you are being overly righteous if you think God is going to remember your hard work and bless you and make you have enough success that makes your family proud..or you don't have the talent.. you are just proud wanting to be better than everyone.. you were born rich.. what do you think you were chosen to be higher than others? no God made you rich so you can focus on spirituality and so on..


so what do you think?

I have not been able to defeat this devil for 10 years now..

or the devil tells me look at you your pathetic your all alone look at you struggling to get work done.. you will always struggle.. because you are a damned forsaken creature and will always be and that is also why everyone leaves you alone in your misery..
or since you think so many spiritual thoughts and meditate often on God you should share it with others and so many opportunities you have missed in helping someone with the bible.. who are now lost because of your negligence..it is impossible for you to serve God you have no guide.. not even the priests deeply care about your thoughts and look for solutions .. so I end up commiting masturbation because I think it is the truth

Actually it's not you look pathetic trying to be a saint when I am studying hard it is don't you dare even have one thought of pride as you study you think you are wiser and more holy than us ..you are making us feel worthless as you do the right thing you are hogging praise that does not belong to you
therefore leave study so we can like you its not that I don't want to be thought of as a geek but I want to not be an intense studier so I don't have aggressive and proud thoughts I don't want to offend people I feel people are always staring at me when I am studying
I feel people are trying to play mind games to stop me from studying
But I think it is probably not them but the devil or myself wanting something from people
I spend much time trying not to seem irritated from those around me but I don't want to study alone also I spend much time trying to "justify" my intrusive thoughts in front of God or fight them
I feel people are being turned into sinners because I am thinking bad thoughts about them while I am studying and they are offended because I give dirty looks of frustration to them but I can't control those intrusive thoughts all the time
Also thinking to myself I am a saint and am smart and am on the road to greatness when I feel people are watching me think that I lose motivation to work
That is one intrusive thought
Portraying a false image of greatness demotivates me for I know I am unworthy of that praise from men

I am also being discouraged because it feels too late for me to be deserving of honor - I just figured that out today 20 November 2012. People probably think I do not deserve to be in college and I am spoiled
why do I have to go through so much hell for something I do not know how it benefits me. It is not like the prize of my very own plane or mansion. But I know it is important but I am not given the reasons why it is important. It seems it has no value if I get it so late to be of use for me. I also feel I have been disrespected by God and made to look like a lazy fool to others and do not want others to judge me. But people will judge so I must finish. I need a framework for my life which is my career so I must finish. Not just delusional daydreams. But I don't like the selfish race to glory and people only respecting me if I am successful. I want to show them I deserve respect even if I am not successful.

Is it wrong that I insist God helps me in my studies in the course I am doing even though I am not good at some parts of it? 
I want to get out of uni i.e finish quick to learn for example arabic or chinese ..things that have immediate value which I can use to benefit others.
There is a bunch of other skills that I would like to learn which I can do in my own time which I can master. 

I don't have to answer to nobody. Because I want the immediate reward of my efforts that I may be encouraged to work hard again. I need to see I am benefiting people and that people respect me now and in heaven 
But I really want to continue in my profession
but I don't seem like I am good at it. Uni is too hard for me to do alone 
But work seems even harder to succeed in this career
Is it so wrong to insist that God gives me this talent? I am putting my life into it

I just feel I am supposed to see the results of my labor that people are turning to God and people have their sins erased and the world is in moral order

But too many people only respect people with degrees and you get opportunities perhaps

I doubt I can do anything alone in my power anyway I will bring noone to God alone but should I not try? I doubt I will fulfill and be faithful in my responsibility over people to labor for their salvation assuming God is also working with me 
Does God need me I don't see He is sending anyone]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13827/our-heart-should-not-trust-too-much-in-the-world-for-stability Sun, 04 Nov 2012 01:36:37 +0000 mikeforjesus 13827@/community/discussions If Fairness was guaranteed and this is God's world the police would not have been able to keep me in a mental hospital for 5 hours for something little (yet extreme) which I did. Okay they could do that.. but they could not keep me there for a year or 2 if I did not promise on my parents suggestion that I would stop going on this forum.H

I did not hurt anyone physically. I simply yelled you must get baptised and take holy communion to go to heaven as protestants were giving up scary pamplets talking about knowing that eternal hell is a fact and I felt they are manipulating and trying to annoy people like me

How do I cope with authorities being able to do that to me?

I know it is my fault

Anyway I will be off after this post to ensure and prove that this forum does not make me an extremist crazy or an exaggerated passionate man anymore

I hope my dad would accept me to live my life in a mental hospital but I don't think he could..

I am thinking since I will live forever in heaven after this and there I will have my riches stored or will start my new life there perhaps I should go to church every week not fearing the outcome of anything in the world?

That should be a certain thing that I am safe from God's judgement because it is not guaranteed He wants me to seek to be wealthy here others teach

I want to teach my children and grandchildren if I have any that church is the only important thing.. to teach your children to think only about church and enough money for food and shelter and accept whatever entertainment the church gives you or others.. yet I can't but wonder how that will leave our grandest children who suffer the effects of our choices.. some people are not giving up riches for God they just don't see the good that comes from it!

The fulfilment and peace we get from being guided by the Holy Spirit in Church being sure we are ready to do all the will of God is better than controlling our own life
Because our ways are most successful when guided by God and we can edify one another and not be selfish you may get money on your own but you can only get a heart of love and to share it wisely from church
That is assuming all our priests are truly able to shepherd us up perfectly


I don't know if authorities realise the magnitude of what they were doing.. forcing me perhaps to not have children and have no self esteem
also I should have realised the magnitude of what I did.. I guess after 2 years I am free to go back and work but I won't go to get a degree anymore
and noone can value the education more than myself.. because I am in it to fulfill my dreams and potential and vision.. and they should not extinguish that fire and lamp
You copts would keep it against me forever that I am a crazy man and an idiot throwing away my life and my parents money..
you have something in you which only respects the successful and idolises them having partiality in your hearts

I would have lost all compassion and respect from you guys suffering your lack of love and hypocrisy if I was still in the mental hospital

Or perhaps God will not suffer us to be moved?

If any of the police come here which arrested me I apologise for the harsh language and swear words I kept yelling as I was blaming..

I have to stop now posting even though I felt like learning on here but I have to find another way I know it is a bad example for those who need support in their struggles but if it is Gods will He will make a way to bring me back without sinning

"Let the dead bury their own dead but you go and preach the gospel"

I am very attached to my family and relatives and can not bear it if any were to be eternally condemned. But if this is Christ's teaching I would like to know it for sure. But this is not the reason for my post and I will oppose knowing if eternal condemnation is Christ's teaching right now because it disturbs me and makes me not be able to live my life. I do not want demons to be saved and for them to be in heaven even if eternal condemnation means they are in heaven but they do not experience God's complete love "For it is better for that man if he had never been born" because that should not be the only way of keeping people in heaven, by saving devils or potentially harmful people

The only thing that can comfort me is the concept of eternal death for the wicked, who will fit into that category I do not care too much, if good can come out of it, or universal salvation if all men choose to repent by their own free will.

The question and reason for my post is can God keep many people in heaven for all eternity while allowing some to die? would He really find someone who would choose Him for all eternity, even when they know He has allowed some people to die? and that their only punishment for rebellion is death?
Jesus says "My sheep hear my voice and they follow Me and I give them eternal life" "And none shall be able to snatch them out of My Fathers hand" "and they will by no means follow a stranger"

For you see I love my parents so much that I do not feel drawn to Christ but I know God is my true Father, I do not know how He will comfort me regarding their death if they were to die now or when I appear before Him.

I do not yet love God more than I love my parents. Unless He makes me forget that they existed but this has disadvantages to God's safety if He was limited which I never blasphemously assume for if He was He does not know it. I care about God's safety because I believe He is worthy since I do not believe He would eternally separate poor souls but that God will cease the wicked from conscious life.

I hate the feeling that peoples salvation is dependent on me.

BTW I made an appointment with my FOC but he did not turn up but he could have forgotten because he only told me on the phone but he did not send a text message. It seems he thinks my appointment is on thursday.

There may be eternal seperation for sinners for God alone knows all things and He is the only good

I want to feel God's love, would He be able to draw me to Him and make me only listen to His voice even when someone I love has perished?

Would God be able to keep people in heaven without keeping hell as eternal?

I don't know the power of my thoughts so I hope God forgives me for I heard His mercy endures forever.

I can not handle having no peace about my own salvation.

I do not even know if anyone who has died is saved, not to mention names. How many of you people believe and know the salvation of any one's soul who has died and how do you feel about you also not really knowing how to be saved yourself in the midst of this confusion? and that many people are waiting for your blood for not saving them?

How do you feel about people teaching you to do the impossible?

"cast down but not forsaken" "perplexed but not in despair" it seems my family and you copts or others are my enemies as you will rejoice in my suffering (not that my family does) and continue your greed and hypocrisy.
I would leave it myself if I knew it was God speaking to me but please pray that the LORD destroys these things if it is God's will

What do you think is a big reason many people are not christians? could it be because they do not want to come to the light lest their deeds be exposed, they are too proud to take the blame and they are possessed by a spirit of despair. They do not want to take the help from God because they think evil towards Him and doubt whether they should give Him glory i.e Unbelief and that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit for those who sin willfully.

So what a gospel they need to hear. One that takes away their sins.
A righteous man does good at all times whether people are punished or not. Thats not what I meant by takes away sins
However I feel that is not the case. I can not say literally God will take away the sins of the world. This doctrine seems to perhaps be lacking in some way but the scriptures seem to teach that
Though I wanted everyone to escape from hell I do not know if God can rightly control peoples free will to accept Him
So I do not have all the answers

How do you stress repentance yet keep mercy?
or rather how do you tell people that God is merciful yet stress repentance?

Jesus says I did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill. One jot or one tittle will not pass from the law till all is fulfilled

I have to refrain from posting here as I promised I would stop posting after I did something stupid and would have been kept in a mental hospital. No priest and none of you can save me from a mental hospital could you?

Now I don't know if I should watch free to air tv or spiritual programs all the time. I could watch normal tv programs but spiritual programs relax me. Which one should I watch.. how should I balance this?


Everyday, every hour I have conflicts like this.. I never feel I could serve God or enjoy myself nor do I have peace.. which is why I wish for Gods atonement for myself by itself

another time I looked for a list of good deeds and it seemed noone found much good deeds to do. I felt no good deed will make me secure of my salvation nor will they save me]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13823/the-holy-spirit-in-the-biblical-epistles-and-the-apostolic-fathers Fri, 02 Nov 2012 23:47:50 +0000 Severian 13823@/community/discussions
For example, in the beginning of all of St. Paul's Epistles he salutes the Churches in the name of God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ, but never mentions the Holy Spirit. The same rule applies to the beginning lines of the Epistle of St. Polycarp to the Philippians (his only surviving work), the Epistles of St. Ignatius, the Epistle of St. Clement to the Corinthians, etc.

There are also many portions in Scripture where the roles of the Father and the Son are emphasized, but the Spirit is not mentioned. For example John 17:3, 2 John 1:9, John 5:23, etc.

Is there a particular reason this is the case? It just seemed odd to me that the third coequal person of the All-Holy Trinity is (potentially) undermined in these works compared to the Father and Son.

Well I was that one

For some reason though I have started looking at pornography sometimes.
I used to fall 4 times a year now I am falling often but once a day.

I feel I owe it to myself to repent of these sins because they produce death and judgement

"There is no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus who do not walk after the flesh"

"Those who are christs have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires"

I thought I must make a confession to all in hopes that I will leave these sins forever

It is very likely if I do not change immediately I never will]]> https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/13731/to-keep-my-soul-unto-eternal-life Fri, 28 Sep 2012 22:20:11 +0000 mikeforjesus 13731@/community/discussions "He who loves his life will lose it but he who loses his life for my sake will keep it unto eternal life" I want to be with Jesus so I will forsake all my ambitions if the world does not support it
to gain my eternal life. There is no room for worldly ambitions for the christian faith in this century. If you and the world makes room for my ambitions then I may continue with it but I am going to
leave it to gain eternal life. Atleast I chose to forsake it. I was going to go to a mental hospital for something I did and my life would have been torn from me unwillingly
sometimes it is not God's will to be too involved with the world and sometimes it is.. when it is God executes Justice for His elect by making noone harm them or doing judgement that makes it fair to all humanity and making them prosper even when they in innocence hold certain doctrines without denying them.. abraham and many OT saints were rich. But I should abandon my life and sell all I have to gain the kingdom of God
I am going to leave the world by preaching unashamedly John 3:16 that whoever does not receive Jesus it appears he risks dying in his sins and I will preach Jesus as the only sure way to heaven (i.e because His ways and commands are true) otherwise people will perish and be no more. If they are not offended I will continue with my life and my worldly ambitions
even though I do not believe anyone even knows exacly what God will do there is a great possibility that God wants people to repent now so they must repent now or they will perish
It is a worthy sacrifice because I will live again eternally while still hoping for the disobedient to be saved but that is in God's hands

You are my witness that I have said Not my will LORD but Yours be done. As God is good to all and His mercies are on all who have remorse I believe He is worthy of having my life and submission

The other thing is that even my family and my dad was not too interested in my worldy ambitions anyway which is why I feel even more less foolish

And then Jesus said "Fool this night thy soul will be required of thee and whose will those things be which you have provided?"

Maybe I will even say if you do not accept Jesus you will be seperated from God for all eternity for even that God does not defend my ideas strongly enough as I would like so I should not suffer for trying to get assurance of my soul and others souls and because God does not spread His good news through other people but I can not change the fact that I do not believe the bible says that. I have not even bothered showing people who will not listen
I want God to confirm without a doubt that God is ready to forgive and save all the repentant after death. Otherwise I risk learning I was a fool and it is difficult to please God and live in the world

As you can see I altered the message slightly yet greatly because the things I say appear to be wrong and from satan

Lord have mercy on my soul
