The Jesus prayer definitely diminishes bad thoughts that come out of no where. I say it every time I need to stay focused. It’s not a gimmick or a child’s prayer. It’s a mystery that works. It passes all understanding.
I wonder where does it come from?
Yeah because the lord himself spoke it. All of his words are holy
@@JohnCephas A good start is a 19th century novel " The Way of the Pilgrim". Then you can read the theological presentation and explanation by Orthodox priests.
@@propriusly Oh ok thanks. I will check it out. Do you personally believe Jesus taught this way of being?
It’s so simple that a child could say it easily, but yet there’s so much power in its simplicity. Lord Jesus Christ son of God have mercy on me a sinner. Nothing more, but the power of calling out to the lord is indescribable. Someone’s who’s been an atheist their whole lives could say it and truly mean it, and the lord will answer. A satanist can turn his back on the darkness and the lord will answer if the words of the Jesus prayer are spooked from his lips. I can go on and on , but the bottom line is, the Jesus prayer is one of the most powerful prayers in all of Christianity.
I dream of crossing paths with someone like Father Lazarus and just having a nice, comfortable talk about matters such as this.
Wouldn't that be great! I love this doc and this excert. I found it most powerfull and come back to it again and again. True lived knowledge and wisdom simply shared for those with eyes, ears and hearts to see and hear. and feel Enjoy
This video is pure gold. May God bless those heroic monks, examples for all Christendom.
Not to be rude, but beyond a selfish purpose of acquiring interior silence, what does it do for the world? And isn't the world out there a place to roam freely and the challenge God gave people is to live dignified lives, being good, etcetera without commiting sin? Being free of sin may mean you aren't sullied by a life of disgrace... But what's the point withdrawing from life and its woes completely? What's so heroic? If life is a battlefield these monks surely aren't playing a role in it, good or bad.
You can only do something for the world when you first do something for yourself i.e. in the good way. If you see the video ,the monk clearly states he did not have agape i.e. unconditional love which he could share with others as he came from a atheistic school of thought.Hence he went to seek it. Now in deep spirituality many monks ask to intercede for the sins of men and suffer terribly both physically and spiritually. Padre Pio is a well known name who used to be physically beaten by entities to stop him in his penance.The whole point of mans life is understanding that real and lasting happiness comes from within and the path to it is v narrow and requires a lot of self discipline to multiply the gifts given by god.It raises a man consciousness so that he is able to see life through God's eyes.Such a person in a v short time can provide deep insight to the worldly mans problems and alleviate his suffering or even end it.
To me it seems he used to do more when he worked part time at a Hospital during his studies... Caring for the ill, carrying the dead to the morgue... I heard another one of his speeches, he sounds very wise. Interceding for sins however is something I may never be able to understand, and beyond his isolation and his austerity I don't see what else can be harming him, if you refer to entities I can't help but feel sceptical about it (But may be I am missing out). I understand what you mean however by doing something positive about oneself first, that's true, we study to become doctors, we don't become doctors just because we want to help people, sometimes this wish to help but the lack of knowledge can be damning to those we try and help... So he's trying to achieve agape? What's the next step in his plan? As for ending mans suffering... It's been going on since year 0, how can it end through the works of monks?
Since you do not understand spiritual intercession ,it is wise to hold your judgement for now. It is carrying the crosses of others i.e. being christ like spiritually.You are definitely right that he also needs to do good works and I 100% agree with it that faith without good actions is dead, So your faith should bring out good works, From what I understand his life is one of chastisement and not of worldly pleasure.SO he is basically building a foundation for himself.It is v difficult for a normal man to get up everyday become selfless and help others and deal with the stress of it when you get nothing in return atleast in the worldly sense Almost all if not all other professions give you a return monetarily and it motivates them to take the stress of the job .What about him?So what are the mechanics, how can he gain anything from being selfess? It is internal fulfillment and regeneration i.e. moving to a closer union to God but first he needs to seek and experience the kingdom(agape) or else he will not be building his house on strong foundation and could collapse.
True,suffering never ends but our ability to deal with it sure can evolve with right guidance and also spiritual graces through the intercession of Holy men .You see there is a saying,everyone comes crying into this world but the one who goes away smiling is the king of his destiny .
Entities: These experiences are possible mostly in following cases
1, If an individual or someone in his family has indulged in spiritually evil things
2 Someone has cursed a certain person through occult
3 If you reach a very high state of holiness where you know that evil is real.Here there is godly bliss and the opposite of it.
Jesus: Seek the kigdom of God and its righteousness and the rest will be added unto you.
I refrain from judging, I've stated a (mutable) opinion that I hold now, my degree of knowledge is null, so you must understand me from where I stand I barely know anything about Christianity, so I don't comprehend it, I do however proceed with cautious logic which could or not be faulty. That's why I'm using the youtube comments as a way of having a conversation, I ask questions that I wish to be answered, instead of making statements as if I were standing on a soapbox. I am genuinely interested in religion, but my perspective is that of a non-believer, and even with the knowledge you provide, this will be filtered and scrutinized, in hopes that I can arrive at a firm conclusion some day, for now I proceed with philosophy.
I now pray the Jesus prayer when memories of past sins plague my mind and when temptations afflict my imagination. Thank you Lord for your grace! Have mercy on us sinners!
As a Roman Catholic, The Lord's prayer and the Jesus prayer are the most powerful prayers that I use on a daily basis.
I went into the Forest. Felt like I wondered in a desert for 30 years. I prayed so hard. I said the Jesus prayer. Silence helps. Time alone with God. TIME WITH JESUS. My salvation comes only thru him. I am a sinner. Forgive me and thank you for the gift of Life. Thank you Jesus.
I want to do the same as you, especially because I have aspergers syndrome which causes sensory issues I live in a crowded area and it is very painful, I only feel peace in spaced out areas...I will pray for you bless you
@@seronymus God bless you ☦
Amen, God bless all of us to attain interior silence,stillness
Why do people say that religion is boring? Everything in this video looks beautiful, interesting, exotic and funky, including the monks.
Then you find out it's real and that you're just outside of the door.
@@Poodle_Gun That's deep.
Fr. Lazarus El Anthony is truly a modern day saint. Every word that he speaks is practical divinity.
HERESY!!
@@lordjesuschristisgod4603 why do you think so?
@@valerapadolochniy9537 Please consider all of Scripture when listening to him. He sounds wonderful if you do not listen closely.
@@lordjesuschristisgod4603 What exactly did he say here that you find disagreeable?
@@lordjesuschristisgod4603 What's your problem? What are you calling heresy?
Father Lazarus has a beautiful understanding of the correlation between prayer, silence and peace
When I watch this video I can feel a very spiritual presence, just like when I enter my local basilica to worship on my own, when no one else is around. Its just me, sitting in silence, sitting before God. ✝✝✝✝
This is absolutely priceless the amount of wisdom holiness beauty is Just so Good
I could listen to this man for hours
I started saying the Jesus Prayer and I felt like I was being lifted up and away from the pestering voices that have been bothering me for while (it appears to be that every time I devote myself to proper spiritual practice, devils hate that and they pester me. They try to speak loudly so I cannot hear/feel Jesus and it is annoying/disorienting). When I say the Jesus prayer I hear them still but I feel almost as if I am hovering over them. Like their words could not reach me anymore and I was brought to another room. Then I cried. Now I try to do it at 3 am. I have tried meditation but that sort of uncontrolled silence seems to allow them in. With Jesus prayer I can die to myself while calling upon Jesus. And too asking for mercy alleviates my soul. Every time I say the Jesus Prayer something magical happens, seriously. Maybe it will not be like this every time but every time I do God gifts me something (most times even these gifts I can interact with my physical senses so this is even more special to me but I love the Spiritual gifts Father gives me and I am grateful for them. Also one of the men sharing I relate to what he said about inner stillness. I find it much easier to constantly say the Jesus Prayer (or when needed for long periods of time) than to having to be constantly conscious of my thoughts. For me it is stressful to constantly be on my guard of my own sin and other devils that wish to distract me. All of this is chatter chatter chatter and it is very stressful. Saying the Jesus Prayer is greatly alleviating. I hope that this inspires and encourages anyone reading this. Truly it (the Jesus Prayer) is amazing.
A line from a psalm that I like to meditate on is, `Be still and know I am God.` Or is it; `I Am God`. Yep, that's to ponder on too. Blessings and love to you all.
Peter Kimble Be still and know that "I AM" God.
Be still and know God. The I AM.
Nice...........
I have yearned for this kind of life for years.
I hope you find it for your life.
Father Lazarus is the single reason I turned from sin, and the reason I lived as a monk, to a degree. And now, I’m a teacher to a certain degree, but my problem is the isms. But isms aren’t necessarily sinful. I’ve become him, but different. I want to meet him and thank him. Cheers.
@Joseph I honestly am surprised by the coincidence of your response as I'm reading. I'm going to finish out my collegiate understanding down the very same path he went. But rather different relatively speaking. As I annotate, I went down the path of sin very young. Due to intense trauma. I found God through him, Fr Lazarus and shunned the world. I became an idiot socratean. Despising all that was. A fool. But I realized I must practice maintenance of myself; sustainable. This comes from society, Congruency is positive. I mean also monetarily. He; father Lazarus was a professor. I am too called this, or teacher. It is odd, but after all this time, the great Lazarus has affected me effectually unto efficacy of professorship. Of the faith and linguistics. I intend to be educated by the secularist, only to engage in positive maieutics, I will be victorious by the hand of The Father. I am a negative destruction of the failed reasonings of the secularist commune. And perhaps completed in eventual proceedings.
Fr. Lazarus was led astray by isms. But I am with God in them.
Who among men will prosper?
Not the ungodly.
No so.
But he who walks with God
His fruit shall be borne in their season
@@moveinsilencegs5136 It's dangerous to compare oneself to anyone, especially God-bearing monks. Experienced monks like Fr. Lazarus would never say that they had reached equivalency with anyone. That would be a prideful claim. They would say that they are worse than everyone else in the world.
God bless you!
@@moveinsilencegs5136 From Egypt God bless you
The amount of knowledge and stoisism and the acknowledge ment of christ and the pray3r is so profound
I have "Mysteries of The Jesus Prayer " I do not have silence but periods of quiet.
Prayer is a ladder, and there is always a rung that is loose, such as when the phone rings.
With God's help I try and climb once more.
There will be a point when the Spirit will enter the heart.Agape will then flow accompanied with the regeneration of the heart.
1 John 1:8 'If we say we have no sin, we decieve ourselves, and the truth is not in us.'
These guys reason deeply. Astonishing compared to any voice you can hear online. Striving for silence.
Amazing! Heart touching! 😇
These two brother monastics are a joy to observe. They are so synchronized it is almost like they have a telepathic connection.
There is a series of the speaking monk and he says although he only knows 6 words in Arabic, there is one other monk and they can have a conversation in their separate languages but they can understand eachother. I don't know if it's this brother or another.
Such precious wisdom. Praise God for their strong faith!!
I've prayed the Jesus prayer, it's very peaceful. It will do what the Coptic hermit says it will do. You begin to concentrate completely on Jesus but also be prepared to see what's in your heart and mind. Peace and blessings to you in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Is silence important to you? Naturally.
WOW!🙏

What incredible wisdom
Meditation and mantra, the path to quietness and a glimpse at the infinite.
It's one of the great travesties of history that western Christianity abandoned the mystic tradition of the early Church.
Well said. I was reading about Joseph of Copertino the other day. The west has the potential to make a return.
Monasticism wasn't practiced by the Apostles this a much later innovation
@@felixguerrero6062 Bruh Christ went into the wilderness to be tempted this is the essence of Christian asceticism and monasticism
@@Teddy-ke6xh
Christ fasting in the desert for 40 days is not the same as traditional Monasticism.
Also the apostles condemned those in the early church that practiced asceticism.
Colossians 2:17-23 NRSV
[17] These are only a shadow of what is to come, but the substance belongs to Christ. [18] Do not let anyone disqualify you, insisting on self-abasement and worship of angels, dwelling on visions, puffed up without cause by a human way of thinking, [19] and not holding fast to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its ligaments and sinews, grows with a growth that is from God. [20] If with Christ you died to the elemental spirits of the universe, why do you live as if you still belonged to the world? Why do you submit to regulations, [21] “Do not handle, Do not taste, Do not touch”? [22] All these regulations refer to things that perish with use; they are simply human commands and teachings. [23] These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-imposed piety, humility, and severe treatment of the body, but they are of no value in checking self-indulgence.

Yes, as being pious is attributed to their character, not necessarily to them being of the True Faith.
Wow such a powerful statement
AMEN
I've never heard that or tought about it like they.
I think Father Lazarus is doing a great service to other ministers by providing this opportunity to them. I hope he continues this and someone takes up the cause after he departs us. God bless.
I wish to live the life of Fr. Lazarus, to escape this world and live a life of devotion to God, but I have too many connections holding me here, pray for me a sinner.
Man watching this documentary honestly...made me realize how my place is hella seriously Christian(specifically Catholic), this is part of my lesson from senior high until now college,
In my place there are a lot of Christian(Catholic) Institutions and we got this class call ReED and it teaches us about first interpretation, points of views whether it's from the followers or how others can find inspiration or learn from it even if they aren't christian catholic, then after those like well in my current situation, my school is teaching us bible study, most catholic institution in my place are serious about like what this or that legitimately means whether it's the bible verse, history from the bible, Culture of the bible and some origin of the words for shirt Bible study, this video makes the knowledge quite worth it (I'm not religious but i know some stuff)
There's also these things about the bible so there are other Christian bibles and theres the Catholic bible,
the amount of stuff to know if the translation of the bible is verified (Especially in the Catholic Bible) and true is ngl really a lot, like from the old Hebrew->Greek then to the other languages like English,Spanish,French, Filipino so on so forth, Tbh props to the translators, editors etc cause that's tiring.
(From what I learned there are bibles that doesnt have like the official verification and follow the catholic order but not being catholic so they can be published which cause some confusion in terms of translation (It can be used for interpretation but never for study)
AMHN.
wow
Would love to be a monk

This was something that came to my mind, and then I saw this video. Is there a way to pray without words being spoken?
when he asked what do you hear at 1:35 and the other monks turn to lazarus with a short little grin wooow this thought of him i would want to look in, thats deep, it looks like his look says "this you cannot imagine, how do we tell him"
Deep prayer and meditation both activate theta and delta waves in the brain. What’s the difference between the two? The reason people are able to overcome certain things is because mindfulness is the result. Prayer is just another form of meditation. This isn’t some crazy spiritual thing going on. It’s literally just being mindful and having the brain operate at a deeper level.
C'est incroyable de voir à quel point on se ressemble entre orthodoxes byzantins et coptes.
Malgré le fait que nous soyons séparés depuis plus longtemps avec eux qu'avec les catholiques romains
Seigneur, aide-nous à revenir en communion avec nous frères coptes

To what church Father Lazarus belongs to ? Is it Coptic ? Or is there some other Orthodox Christian Church in Egypt ?
RekkyRex there are many denominations in Egypt like Catholics and Protestants but he belongs to the Coptic church which include the majority of Christians in Egypt.
Mora Sedhom I do not wish to troll especially that I respect Coptic Church. We Orthodox in Serbia consider Copts as our brothers. But its odd to me that they are talking about jesus prayer, especially when it includes transformation of physical body as well and bridge between human and divine nature which is joined by Christ. Something which is not recognized enough in Coptic Church. A monk who is a friend of mine told me that father Lazar became a monk first in Serbian Orthodox Church an later on he went to the desert. He also told me that Coptic Church had some very very strong praying monks in it's history. Thank you very much for the information you've written, as I know very little on the subject !
We actually value the Jesus' prayer in our Coptic Orthodox church. We value prayers in general :)
Yes, Coptic Orthodox Christian Monk
Father Lazarus also spent a number of years on Mount Athos.
And it's Lazarus
Which is the real name of Jesus? Yeshua? Yahushua? I find it very confusing thank you.
All of them are. They are just different nations' different pronunciations of the same name.
He was syriac speaking
Yeshu in hebrew/ gallelian dialect of arameic, in syriac- arameic its isho
Can one in his prayer adress the son, not the father?
Yes, but i would start every prayer in the name of the Trinity
@@Marco-bf4uu There is no trinity in the teachings of the apostles and the early church fathers plus its not biblical hence its not a part of the Christian faith

8 Il n'y a donc maintenant aucune condamnation pour ceux qui sont en Jésus Christ.
2 En effet, la loi de l'esprit de vie en Jésus Christ m'a affranchi de la loi du péché et de la mort.
3 Car-chose impossible à la loi, parce que la chair la rendait sans force, -Dieu a condamné le péché dans la chair, en envoyant, à cause du péché, son propre Fils dans une chair semblable à celle du péché,
4 et cela afin que la justice de la loi fût accomplie en nous, qui marchons, non selon la chair, mais selon l'esprit.
5 Ceux, en effet, qui vivent selon la chair, s'affectionnent aux choses de la chair, tandis que ceux qui vivent selon l'esprit s'affectionnent aux choses de l'esprit.
6 Et l'affection de la chair, c'est la mort, tandis que l'affection de l'esprit, c'est la vie et la paix;
7 car l'affection de la chair est inimitié contre Dieu, parce qu'elle ne se soumet pas à la loi de Dieu, et qu'elle ne le peut même pas.
8 Or ceux qui vivent selon la chair ne sauraient plaire à Dieu.
9 Pour vous, vous ne vivez pas selon la chair, mais selon l'esprit, si du moins l'Esprit de Dieu habite en vous. Si quelqu'un n'a pas l'Esprit de Christ, il ne lui appartient pas.
10 Et si Christ est en vous, le corps, il est vrai, est mort à cause du péché, mais l'esprit est vie à cause de la justice.
11 Et si l'Esprit de celui qui a ressuscité Jésus d'entre les morts habite en vous, celui qui a ressuscité Christ d'entre les morts rendra aussi la vie à vos corps mortels par son Esprit qui habite en vous.
12 Ainsi donc, frères, nous ne sommes point redevables à la chair, pour vivre selon la chair.
13 Si vous vivez selon la chair, vous mourrez; mais si par l'Esprit vous faites mourir les actions du corps, vous vivrez,
14 car tous ceux qui sont conduits par l'Esprit de Dieu sont fils de Dieu.
15 Et vous n'avez point reçu un esprit de servitude, pour être encore dans la crainte; mais vous avez reçu un Esprit d'adoption, par lequel nous crions: Abba! Père!
16 L'Esprit lui-même rend témoignage à notre esprit que nous sommes enfants de Dieu.
17 Or, si nous sommes enfants, nous sommes aussi héritiers: héritiers de Dieu, et cohéritiers de Christ, si toutefois nous souffrons avec lui, afin d'être glorifiés avec lui.
18 J'estime que les souffrances du temps présent ne sauraient être comparées à la gloire à venir qui sera révélée pour nous.
19 Aussi la création attend-elle avec un ardent désir la révélation des fils de Dieu.
20 Car la création a été soumise à la vanité, -non de son gré, mais à cause de celui qui l'y a soumise, -
21 avec l'espérance qu'elle aussi sera affranchie de la servitude de la corruption, pour avoir part à la liberté de la gloire des enfants de Dieu.
22 Or, nous savons que, jusqu'à ce jour, la création tout entière soupire et souffre les douleurs de l'enfantement.
23 Et ce n'est pas elle seulement; mais nous aussi, qui avons les prémices de l'Esprit, nous aussi nous soupirons en nous-mêmes, en attendant l'adoption, la rédemption de notre corps.
24 Car c'est en espérance que nous sommes sauvés. Or, l'espérance qu'on voit n'est plus espérance: ce qu'on voit, peut-on l'espérer encore?
25 Mais si nous espérons ce que nous ne voyons pas, nous l'attendons avec persévérance.
26 De même aussi l'Esprit nous aide dans notre faiblesse, car nous ne savons pas ce qu'il nous convient de demander dans nos prières. Mais l'Esprit lui-même intercède par des soupirs inexprimables;
27 et celui qui sonde les coeurs connaît quelle est la pensée de l'Esprit, parce que c'est selon Dieu qu'il intercède en faveur des saints.
28 Nous savons, du reste, que toutes choses concourent au bien de ceux qui aiment Dieu, de ceux qui sont appelés selon son dessein.
29 Car ceux qu'il a connus d'avance, il les a aussi prédestinés à être semblables à l'image de son Fils, afin que son Fils fût le premier-né entre plusieurs frères.
30 Et ceux qu'il a prédestinés, il les a aussi appelés; et ceux qu'il a appelés, il les a aussi justifiés; et ceux qu'il a justifiés, il les a aussi glorifiés.
31 Que dirons-nous donc à l'égard de ces choses? Si Dieu est pour nous, qui sera contre nous?
32 Lui, qui n'a point épargné son propre Fils, mais qui l'a livré pour nous tous, comment ne nous donnera-t-il pas aussi toutes choses avec lui?
33 Qui accusera les élus de Dieu? C'est Dieu qui justifie!
34 Qui les condamnera? Christ est mort; bien plus, il est ressuscité, il est à la droite de Dieu, et il intercède pour nous!
35 Qui nous séparera de l'amour de Christ? Sera-ce la tribulation, ou l'angoisse, ou la persécution, ou la faim, ou la nudité, ou le péril, ou l'épée?
36 selon qu'il est écrit: C'est à cause de toi qu'on nous met à mort tout le jour, Qu'on nous regarde comme des brebis destinées à la boucherie.
37 Mais dans toutes ces choses nous sommes plus que vainqueurs par celui qui nous a aimés.
38 Car j'ai l'assurance que ni la mort ni la vie, ni les anges ni les dominations, ni les choses présentes ni les choses à venir,
39 ni les puissances, ni la hauteur, ni la profondeur, ni aucune autre créature ne pourra nous séparer de l'amour de Dieu manifesté en Jésus Christ notre Seigneur.
Amazing how similar these monks are compared to buddhist monks.
Accurate username?
How are they simliar not at all
@@Marco-bf4uu maybe because they both like peace and quiet
Buddhist monks are counterfeit substitutes for true monasticism.
Yoga citta vrittis nirodha which means :Yoga is the ceasing of mind fluctuation Yoga means literally union,fusion ,the fusion of our being with our Creator
No.
HERESY!!!
Sadly, yes. These are Coptic Orthodox monks, meaning that they reject the Council of Chalcedon.
It's a shame, because other than that, they would be in perfect Communion with the Eastern Orthodox Church.
Their lifestyle isn't heretical, though.
@@BecomeAnOrthodoxChristian I am Eastern Orthodox and what they have given is gold.
@@BecomeAnOrthodoxChristian there were meetings between copts and orthodox churches and they agreed they are not against Calchedon and we have no different dogmas. Stop calling them heretics, it seams that they are orthodox after all.
@@nefiltrat6934 Then why no reunion?
@@BecomeAnOrthodoxChristian because orthodox churches cannot pull together for a Concil like in old times. Now there are some 15 autochefalic churches, who can not agree about one subject like this. So some of them accept copts like orthodox, for exemple some greek churches, and others ask for a panorthodox Sinod/Concil to decide but they don't participate on it, like russians.
Sadly even after Jesus showed how to live a practical life for God, many lock themselves up in monasteries. Jesus and the disciples were on the streets talking and living amongst people and not isolated in a monastery.
Daniel Malin there are different ways to serve God. There have always been the Christian hermits, those who give their life to prayer and contemplation. John the Baptist lived much of his life like this. Many of the early Christian saints lived lives in isolation in prayer. The power of prayer can do works in people's hearts without having to ever meet or speak to that person, it's a mystical thing.
Conor Magee the power of prayer must be accompanied by action, Jesus proved this in His ministry. John was isolated yet he interacted with people, baptizing them and teaching them to repent. We can take Jesus and the apostles as prime examples. The New Testament is full of evidence to back this, such as the sermon on the mount.
Daniel Malin Yes action. Monks or orders who live isolated lives are a very important and powerful part of the body of the church. Their prayers are a force for good in the world, like the batteries which charge the rest so to speak. Again their are different and varied types of vocations and various types of action. You are focusing on solely one type. You are also dismissing the power of prayer. Also remember these holy people who live in enclosed orders live in communities with other monks nuns priests etc so they do help one another in their journey to God.. Check this link out. Read the part about their "call to evangelise" www.catholicworldreport.com/2013/10/28/modern-day-hermits-answering-the-call-to-solitude-prayer/
Another example of someone who lived in solitude yet he appeared to people all over the world sometimes being in 2 or 3 places at the same time through bilocation was St Pio. Another was St Therese of the little flower, a nun who lived in an enclosed order, who now is the patron saint of missionaries.
Conor Magee I have not dismissed the power of prayer, I am simply saying prayer must be accompanied by action. For example I pray "God feed my poor neighbor." Well I can act upon that and bring him bread. It is similar to faith with good works, and the new testament is full of these examples. You bring up examples of people outside of scripture, but that doesn't mean their decision to isolate themselves for the gospel was a correct one. I recommend a great book by Deitrich Bonhoeffer called "The Cost of Discipleship" in which he writes about how much Jesus desires from a disciple, and it isn't just communication and intercession. I think we should hold Jesus and His apostles as prime examples, anyone else can skew our perspective.
Daniel Malin Again you miss my point. You have a one dimensional narrow viewpoint on what it means to be a disciple of Christ. Correct me if I'm wrong but It's more than likely because you come from a fundamentalist Protestant background. Someone in an enclosed order or a hermit praying and fasting living a life of prayer and contemplation can do more to help the poor or hungry than someone who is working physically with the poor and hungry. This you fail to understand. You say you believe in the power of prayer but your failure to understand this key truth shows you don't fully understand prayer at all. Like I said read the life story of St Theresa of the little flower, Padre Pio, St Benedict etc. They helped people from all over the word and they never left their convent, monastery or cave.
Islam is a religion that calls for the worship of the One and Only God, there is no god but Him and that Muhammad is the Messenger of God Islam is a religion that calls for tolerance and non-racism, and Islam talks about the Prophet Jesus and his mother Mary in the Qur’an
Jesus died for our sins brother he is the word made flesh and he said he is the way, the truth, and the life. Muhammad is a false prophet and a worker of iniquity. Jesus never sinned and would never lie. Accept him as you're God today and he shall deliver you from the grips of Islam. Islam has lots of truth but distorts the only truth to have ever existed, Jesus Christ.
Islam is nothing but pagan moon god worship, Saint Paul exposed false religions like Islam and Mormonism before they were founded on Galatians 1:8. That’s also the main reason the Muslims have a hatred of Apostle Paul. Muhammad originally wanted to apply the Trinity in his religion but some of his associates told him to drop that doctrine so they could also convince the Jews to accept his new religion.
Lets' cut through the crap. It is EASY to be spiritual when you don't have to get up and go to work in heavy traffic with endless red lights in this complicated world where everyone tries to push you around. ANYONE can be spiritual when all of their basic needs are met and they can focus on God all day instead of a nagging wife, screaming kids etc. I mean really people, come on. Show me a guy who lives like the rest of us and maintains his faith.
To give you a perfect example, I bring up my priest. He worked as an electrician and as a priest at the same time up until his retirement last year, guiding the souls in his flock towards Salvation to the best of his ability, all the while being a humble and pious man. He has arguably had one of the biggest impacts on how I am as a person out of anyone else in my Life; I wouldn't be nearly the same person without him. Constantly praying, constantly working to provide for his 7 kids, constantly ensuring his flock are learning the proper things for Salvation, et cetera et cetera.
It's not that you're wrong. It's just a funny way of viewing things. It's like a high school student being like, pfff yeah cut that crap. Having straight As is EASY if you sit at home and study, and focus solely on your education. Try getting straight As while distracting yourself by going out with friends after school, then playing video games when you get home, then talk to your gf on the phone, and surf the internet, and then watch TV, etc.
The point is the wise ones see through the noise, discern the important thing, create priorities, and abandon those things which are burdens, which are hindrances to that higher goal. Do not get lost in the exterior example I used of a student. It's the wisdom in devout monks/spiritual ascetics, which see the goal of spiritual cultivation or being "servants" to their God (depending on which religion you follow) as the highest goal, the highest good, and are no longer foolish enough to weigh themselves down with worldly matters. So yes, obviously it is easier to live a pure and holy life, dedicated to whichever religion, philosophy, or God, when you renounce society because you willingly cut out those lesser distractions. If you view your job, your money, your status, your sexual life, your social status, as anywhere near the same level of importance as your faith in your religion/God/philosophy, then that is where your error lies. Assuming of course, you are a genuine religious person not merely "believing" in God or faith on a merely shallow level.
No where in any holy book does it say put your modern society life on the same level as your spiritual endeavor. If anything, they are bent towards renunciation, of serving God foremost, and prioritizing everything else after that. So if you are living in such a way where it is not possible to live how your specific religion desires its followers to, then you are not living your life in line with it. It is not the other way around, that the religion should bend to your life in 2018.
Eckhart tolle friend ;)
Juan Gutierrez so true!! Amazing point 😇
