Mabrook minatasgeel on your first 6000 posts. God be with you.

I found a verse you maybe able to meditate on. Here it is: Psalm 51:4 Against You, You only have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight- …

I think the question is about, should the church have a greater social reponsiblity in regards to the way women dress? No I don't, but I think our approach is different because we don't deny them their free will in society. God chooses us l…

Repentance is a means to leave things behind that you can go forward. I am praying for you to go forward Mike. I am going to find a verse for you, that you can focas on and try not to let the other thoughts enter. The positive things I see is…

Your salvation is the avenues God opened for you. It is your chose to take them and follow them.

I also find pride as a big problem concerning mankind and sin. Pride says "I know" and it also trys to prove itself. It seems to be a masculine sin that is full of arguement.

I wasn't born copt but adopted into becoming one. I found your question no 5 differcult because you ask two different things: one, what I have heard; two, to back it up by facts. I will go with what I think because of what I hear. The firs…

I feel I am committing sin if I feel I can help someone and I purposely don't. So I will stick with it. I feel the need to obey Christ's commandment to love my brother as myself. Even though loving God with all my might is perfectly true. It …

It saddens me that love and empathy, (In that being so busy, I too have many distractions in my life and have the problem of not being focased) will have no place to help you Mike. I was hoping that I had being humble enough to listen to you, and …

I don't think you have lashed out Theophilus 1. I for one feel mike should not stop his medication. But the church has a share in mike's well-being and that being what is in his soul. I think mike accepts the role of both psychology and church a…

I didn't think you were being rude Purity2. I have seen exorcism done. An ethiopian friend whom I just visited today, recieved it by a bishop. He looked like he was in a trance up until the bishop did it. Now he's just great and even God father t…

So give us a verse and I hope others here will give their thoughts and this will be your verse for the whole week to concentrate on. See where we go.

Forgive Purity2 please Mike firstly. One of the symptoms of psychosis is paranoia. Because you are unable to focas you aren't able to determine how deeply whose around you truely feel. The lack of focas makes things suspicious. You …

You often come up very good verses of the bible Mike. How about if you choose one and do your absolute best to meditate on it for a whole week? You can give it to us and we could give our thoughts or our church Fathers meditations as a starting p…

I'm sorry once again binC because after reading my post, I am again sounding abstract. How are we to be humble before God eyes? Firstly, not to exalt ourselves in His eyes. Mattew23:12 "And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and…

[quote author=mikeforjesus link=topic=14219.msg163044#msg163044 date=1359460101] I know I am little off topic I feel a desire for fame and respect. You see the monks were considered blessed because they had it well for themselves they were rich pha…

You are right mabsoota. Didn't notice the spam. Maybe it's there as a way of telling us why he/she is depressed or feeling empty.
-
Time is one enermy we share Mike. I'm glad you do post on this forum, but maybe you can work out a time with your parents. As for coughing, it comes from the flesh and you feel from those hating you. But the other side is that you are tempte…

[quote author=binC link=topic=14219.msg163040#msg163040 date=1359444815] Thank you Joshua. You covered a lot broader things though and you made it abstract. May be my question is not clear enough. [/quote] Sorry if I sound abstract. It's because …

I deleted my comment. My prayers are for our church and leadership that it continues in peace delivering us to Christ through the Holy Spirit.

It is to be kind to others. Since we endure temptation, we are given patience. We become more resilient the effect of others sins. We can do good to those who sin without becoming involved in their sin. The only thing you can be firm on …

Praise be to God so blue. [quote author=So Minute, So Lonely, So Blue link=topic=14193.msg162964#msg162964 date=1359041311] I just realized how much I am screwed up. If you think you can help me, absolutely anyone, please send me a private …

Jesus came from David's lineage.

I think it does help us with memory and I don't think it changes our salvation any.
-
Your way was free will Mike. You would have to understand what has happened in your life and why and what you have done with the free will to come out of that situation to then follow God's will. Example: If parents wanted someone to be succes…

Are you saying they will be lost because they are judging you Mike? I hope you are able to think only about what you are doing without being involved in their thoughts. It will do you no good to worry about them Mike. It is like the tempt…

The chapters: Stephen Langton Archbishop of Canterbury. The verses: Robert Estienne A printer and former catholic who converted to protestant.

I think it has been great that you can express how you feel so well and that others genuinely care for you and that if we can encourage or share the hope we have, then good, knowing that we have done this in Christ name. Hope is the spiritua…

Revelation 7:17 "for the Lamb who is in the midst of the throne will shepherd them and lead them to living fountains of waters. And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes." This is hope. Fasting is pray…
