Mr Amir Hanna self declared prophet

We have received the following email from American Copts in which they share our agony and disgust from the pathetic behaviour of Oztaz Amir Hanna. It is appropriate for the Copts of Sydney to know that other Copts around the world are empathising with us in our struggle with the evil in our Diocese.

We thank our brothers and sisters of American Copts for their support as we are all organs in the one body of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Subject: Mr Amir Hanna self declared prophet

Deacon Timon, (AMIR HANNA relation of Bishop Bishoy) the high profile self proclaimed religious leader is constantly in the news because of the dishonor that he brings on the name of God. The true leaders of righteousness must constantly be endured by those who strive to place the honor of God before the honor of men.

Moral failure is always preceded by the embracing of a sense of personal pride, in which Mr Amir Hanna considers himself to be superior to others, and/or favored by God to the extent that he is no longer accountable morally, because of the duties or works that he has performed, which he believes elevate him to a superior standing.

Mr Amir Hanna thinks he is a religious leaders, self-proclaimed to be so, he exhibits that sense of pride and superiority, and he has fallen morally in relation to the teachings that he proclaimed and said that he embraced. The less humble he became, the farther the fall and the greater the dishonour he has brought upon the COPTIC Church world wide.

The greatest dishonor, to have been revealed in his failure,

is the public shame and disgrace he has placed

upon His Grace Bishop Daniel

and the Coptic church.

The manufactured allegations and documents circulated to the Islamic media have shamed our struggling Coptic brothers and Sisters in Egypt. The attack on Father Zakaria is intolerable.

The priests and lay people in Sydney Australia that fail to exhibit conduct by adhering to their vow, baptism and the teachings of Our SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST, and continued to support him and elevate him shall fall. This conduct shows a complete lack of discernment and ignorance of the Biblical imperative regarding the conduct of religious leaders and shows, that for many, the elevation of human leaders is preferred to that of honoring and following the precepts of the God in which they claim to believe.

In America we have had a number of self proclaimed prophets. You in Sydney may be aware of David Koresh (or the Branch Davidians) he was a self proclaimed prophet and was responsible for the deaths of the 74 men, women and children who died in the inferno at Waco on April 19, 1993. This is sadly a true story of the end result of his proclaimed self righteousness.

Never have we had a self proclaimed COPTIC prophet,

prior to Mr Amir Hanna.

This is a dark legacy on our Coptic Tradition, obedience and adherence to Coptic doctrine.

False and self proclaimed leaders such as Mr Amir Hanna always seek to imitate that which is true, but his doctrinal error and totally immoral and illegal conduct reveals to all that he is indeed an imposters, as he has done very well. Self Proclaimed leaders like Mr Amir Hanna who claims that he represents the truth of Christianity, discernment and understanding is totally lost, because excuses of convenience do not change the reality of the message of Jesus Christ.

Mr Amir Hanna is typical of false leaders that exist in the religious world because self proclaimed adherents fail to apply Biblical standards and doctrines to the teaching and conduct of their leaders, and in the process, they deceive themselves which will always lead to deception by others.

Mr Amir Hanna is one of those on the list of those who are false and will be judged by Jesus Christ Himself as He has said:

Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Grapes are not gathered from thorn bushes nor figs from thistles, are they? So every good tree bears good fruit, but the bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot produce bad fruit, nor can a bad tree produce good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. So then, you will know them by their fruits. Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name; and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' And then I will declare to them, "I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness." Matthew 7:15-23
