@qawecalm down! Let's be careful not to rashly judge others. Yesterday he was our Metropolitan. He was not deposed of because of his false teachings, rather he politically left the church. We do not know all the facts. Does anyone have the full sto…

@rem "God will understand and accept my sacrifice of praise and it is still communication" If you are not fluent in Coptic to the extent that you are unable to have a normal conversation with your parents...do you really contend that such prayer (…

I am not hiding from the fact that both Coptic/Arabic hinders the youth from getting closer to Christ. (my original post had a typo/grammatical error). Simply, praying in a foreign language is a hindrance. You are not a proponent of our herita…

@Rem I am not a person who responds line by line, because I am not attacking a specific person, but a certain mentality. For if I was to address you personally this conversation would be very different. I alluded to people in general in my prior th…

I am dumbfounded by some of the statements above. Persistence in using the Coptic dialect is unrational ( in my opinion). Is it fair for the youth to attend a liturgy and ask them to follow along some projector/screen or liturgical book if they wa…

@zoxsasi, you are correct in saying that language is just a means of communication. We are not discussing any particular language, i.e. Arabic. We are discussing the need to preach/sing/praise/worship in our native tongue. Here in the States/ land…

@ophadece, 2 Cor 3:6, "the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life" I am no theologian, but I believe St. Paul is admonishing individuals who speak/preach in a language that is not understood by the recipient. St. Paul even admonishes how the indi…

I prefer not to speak for others; however, Fr. Antony Paul is emphasizing the need in UNDERSTANDING our praises. (cf. 1 Cor 14:15, Ps. 47:7). Regardless whether the language is in Coptic or Arabic the importance is having an understanding and a rel…

I think it is mind-bottling, that we focus so much on the tunes/accuracy of our hymns. Obviously this is not with regard to these blessed bishops who are truly perserving orthodoxy. We as servants need re-evaluate what is going on in church these d…

how does one make such a rash statement like that without any references. You are concluding that pope kyrillos did not give bishop shenouda any synodol powers...however the reason I said your are trying to say that is bc u don't. Provide proof or r…

qawe, i stated: Are you trying to say that pope shenouda was truly not a bishop equipped with full authority from the synod?. If His Holiness Pope Kyrillos wanted to ordain him a subbishop he could have. i am referring to bishop shenouda, not pope…

Minasoliman, how did you come up with the conclusion that H.H. pope kyrillos did not give these three bishops any syndol power? Are you trying to say that pope shenouda was truly not a bishop equipped with full authority from the synod?. If His Holi…

John 10:38: "but if I do, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, that you may know and believe[a] that the Father is in Me, and I in Him.” NKJV. Other translations, such as NIV, translate the works as "miracles." My beloved, don't let th…

H.H. is trying to restore peace in a completely unstable country! Rather than letting outside influences (such as the U.S.) dictate the future of this blessed country, H.H. is requesting from the people to return to calmness. He also thanks the Yout…

Although, I admit that this story is quite unusual and in a sense intersting. I think we should follow the advice of H.H, pope Shenouda III who send recently last monday on a conference that this heretic maximum is "not worthy" to waste our time di…

yes, when a priest becomes ordained he is first ordained as a deacon. The church canons require that. , go to coptic-hymns.net in the forums... you 'll see the answer
