Well, I think it ought to be added that 1.5 million Armenians were executed, crucified, raped, humiliated simply for being Christian.
Mina - if you are not sure what makes these Armenians saints, or a martyrs, you should look at this video:
Hi Mina,
My sincere apologies if I myself mis-represted H.H pope shenouda even.
I'll leave this issue in the capable hands of yourself, Iqbal and Fr. Farrington. If you all agree with them, that is fine for me. Sorry for any confusion.
Send them my …
Dear Ray,
May I encourage you to read Fr. Peter Farrington's response to my question:

I really wish Iqbal was here right now.He educated us on all these issues. He didn't have a problem at all with the position the Pope held concerning eating "Divinity".He was far more educated in Theology than myself.
Now, I love Minasoliman and Ra…
Has anyone seen the Video of Abouna Anthony Messiha talking about the Knowledge of God? Its a video where he starts by going through all the books in the Bible, repeating them in the correct order. Everyone claps for him. At the end he says: "GOD DO…
4. There is no difference with the Knowledge of God and Knowing God. (You are SO wrong here)
Where do I begin?. The knowledge of God is having knowledge about Him. I met this homosexual atheist in a party once; he knew theology so well. He knew all …
Remi,
Oh dear! Where do I begin?? I love you very much, but I disagree with you on many aspects here; and I feel they are quite grave:
1. So if I understand correctly, you disagree with H.H Pope Shenouda on Theosis? That's OK with me, I don't mind, …
Remnkemi,
I'm not sure if you are aware, but there was a huge debate in our Church over this issue. H.H Pope Shenouda III (May The Lord repose his soul) rebuked Coptic Orthodox Christians who believed that they were partaking of the Divine body. Che…
@Remnkemi
I'd like to point something out here:
Here is an extract from Bishop Youssef's response:
"Marriage is one of the Church's mysteries through which a man and a women unite becoming no longer two, but one. To be one in everything, they need …
Mina basha,
1. I am aware that certain elements in the Coptic Church think that there is no salvation outside the Coptic Church. I wholeheartedly disagree with this point of view.
2. If I understood you correctly, which I think I have, you are sayi…
lol Mina,
I said clearly that your comment reflects the Church and probably a few priest's opinion too. You are probably just echoing the general view of the Synod - not that I agree entirely with it.
Correct me if i'm mistaken here, but you said in…
Although Minatasgeel probably describes the attitude a Coptic priest would take concerning this issue, it doesn't necessarily mean that ANY of this is correct!!!
He says that 2 people (catholic and coptic) could get married yet these differences may…
Unfortunately, what Minatasgeel mentioned is true.
However, I go to a Coptic Orthodox Church where the priest allows catholics to have the Holy Communion. Its the French Orthodox Church that is under the Patriarchate of Alexandria and H.H Pope Tawa…
OK.. let's go to the specifics:
1./ What additions are to be sang in Hiten?
2./ After the sermon, do we still say Tenti Nempi? or Tenechisi emmo?
3,/ When is Pigenmisi sung?
4,/ When do we sing Shere Maria?
5/ I need help? can anyone here come over…
Thank you matey!
Excellent post! That's exactly what I was interested in.
Dude, these people are angels, I love them. They are my congregation, but trust me, they don't know much.
I'll skip pigenmisi.
What is meant by Matins? That's vesper (before…
Mina,
All I want to know is this:
a) How did God Create us?b) Did He create us from dust? or did we evolve from apes, and hence we are simply glorified apes?c) Why did Christ die for? If supposedly we were not created by God, yet we evolved, it mea…
Hello,
Welcome to Tasbeha.org!
If you are considering a career in monasticism, I highly recommend the following:
a) Check out the YouTube videos on Fr Lazarus El Antonyb) I highly recommend getting hold of Anba Angaelos and asking him for advice.

@minasoliman,
I have another question - Please please answer this.
OK - so you believe we evolved from a single cell. The cell mutated, and mutated, and through the process of mutation & natural selection, over millions of years, become a repti…
Man that was such a useless video. Sorry... I'll find something else where a microbiologist becomes Christian and speaks sense. This man is waffling too much
Mina,
How can you agree with Qawe's post?? How can you agree to that and reconcile that with the "fact" that we evolved from Apes??
It means that we didn't die physically, we died only spiritually - according to your logic.
I came here to discuss …
Has anyone here heard of the Genographic Project? These scientists traced all of humanity to TWO people in the middle of Africa, thousands of years ago.
These are scientific facts. They can trace your ancestry to a country, and then even further bac…
So why do we still die a physical death now after Christ came and saved us? Also say for instance like Adam is walking in the Garden and a huge tree large enough to kill him falls on him. Would he not die because he is immortal? I feel like I'm mis…
Qawe,
Your understanding is the same as mine. What you are discussing is typical Christian Theology. Why are we even talking about that for? I came to discuss evolution, and we have a few people here who are telling us that evolution is a fact.
Now…
