I put this on coptichymns.net before it shutdown I want help from Christ

[mikeforjesus]

so what if I had correct theology but can not follow repentance

I am supposed to repent of piracy. I download movies illegally. My family do it.
I feel it is not very christian to go to concerts or shows because people may think you are not serious about repentance - if they still think I am a universalist
I do not think going to clubs encourage repentance
how does one be christian practically and trust in God for his life?
how does one leave all to follow Christ?
I don’t like the persecution to follow this way
I don’t want to be poor because the devil takes advantage of my scruples
I am supposed to have the Holy Spirit to know when something is right or wrong
why does christianity lead to persecution even sometimes by family members who tempt you to follow their ways
and I have heard of priests condemn cheating in exams as though one should accept to fail even if he could not study due to some reasonable reason
and I read in a book by pope shenouda it being part of the narrow way to not cheat in an exam and the children of God are sometimes failures
I don’t know if he meant not to cheat to not get ahead or even if it means failure and maybe he condemns copying lab work of a partner as cheating also

there is many tribulations my way which I must overcome many snares of satan
how will I survive?

am I really on my own and can not ask for help to get set free?

or are all these fears from mens traditions? Either God or satan would say that
My dad does not like me being fearful of God he does not think one needs to struggle hard for salvation but the narrow way is finding Christ but because I know the bible alot sometimes I convince him but he does not like me talking much about God though he has put up with it alot

I want to repent of piracy so I can make hollywood repent of sins in the media

Depending on the circumstances you may not be committing a sin by downloading movies. If the content is copywright and is on the net without permission of the owners then the person uploading the video may be committing a sin. Still, in my opinion, sinful or not, it’s not right to download things that are for sale.

I want to repent of piracy so I can make hollywood repent of sins in the media

If I may be so bold, perhaps you should consider your desire to repent to be for the benefit of your own soul, not to reform hollywood.

I suggest that you discuss this with a priest. But you will need to make sure that the priest is internet savy and fully understands the situation.

I’ll pray for you. Please do the same for me?
