  • Thanks DG. I think the lyrics on this website are the easiest. If I go freestyling, I'll mess up. Its best to keep it short and sweet. Having said that, just for the record, can anyone share me the lyrics that the LA Deacons use?? I'd really appreci…
  • Hi Share the Lord, I was listening to the LA Deacons. I love their voices and was practicing Pachoise so I could sing it in Church. I am the Church's Moa3lim, deacon and subdeacon, and aghnostos. I am the everything and nothing at the same time.  So…
  • I'm the only deacon in my Church!! 
  • Is there ANYTHING wrong if I stick the to the lyrics given in the text on the Media page for this hymn?? Would that be OK?? This is SO annoying that we don't just follow one Hymn book!! eh da!
  • I can't believe that its common information that you all seem to know which mo3allim ordered which changes to these hymns. That's just unbelievable.  Is there ANYTHING wrong if I just stick to the lyrics as displayed on this website: i.e. end it wit…
  • It's not that I have anything against them, but that their views on soteriology are incomplete (and I think St. Augustine is misunderstood at times). The idea of "debt" and "ransom" is not wrong, but if taken alone, it can be misrepresented, and i…

  •  I would also like to modify 10 a bit. Because He LOVES us, and He is consistent in His creation at the same time, He became as we are, even taking up our consequences in a blameless fashion, to the point of death and descent into Hades, that any pe…
  • [double post - see comment below]
  • Thanks Remenkemi & Minasoliman: Maybe the problem is my understanding of certain terms. Maybe Remenkemi and others are using terms that mean something for you, yet for me, mean something else. Please read the following and correct me where I'm w…
  • Mina, How am I mis-representing you? You are saying that you do not know how God created woman.  You said , as far as I'm aware, that God did not create us to die. He gave us the grace of life (physical and spiritual) - but what you cannot answer (a…
  • I just wish to say one final word: Yes, there are ethical, moral and allegorical meanings in the Bible; especially in Genesis. We can dumb down the entire Bible, or our understanding of it, by simply saying: "well, God wants us to love each other. H…
  • Anba Abakir should have been made Metropolitan of Europe (at the very least). 
  • Thanks Mina, That's a lot clearer for me. The only open question is how did Adam exist if we came from Apes. Was he the 1st male specie to come from an Ape? In your opinion? How could God create woman from man given that man evolved? It means that t…
  • I know this Monk! He was in France. He knows very well that there is a shortage of priests in the south of france, and now he's moved on to be a bishop in Canada.  I thought a Bishop needs to have priests under him?  Anba Louka is already short-staf…
  • Perhaps if we start with the literality of Genesis, it would be better for you. As for me, I, from a true scientific point of view, disagree with how you differentiate between macro and micro. If you were involved in genetics research like me befo…
  • Mina, I don't find this an easy subject. Maybe you can brush this off as me having a low IQ, but somethings don't add up for me. I'll post later when I get a breather. Thank you for sharing your opinion and educating me this far.  I think also,  BTW…
  • Zoxsasi, Either I am not writing intelligibly for you, in which case it seems perhaps it's better for you to find someone who agrees with me to better explain my faith to you than me, or you seem to have reading comprehension issues. It seems you …
  • Mina, All our confusion can be put to an end if you accepted that evolution can be divided into 2 parts: Macroevolution - where one species evolves into another specie, and Microevolution where one specie evolves or adapts to its environment through…
  • Hi Mina, Thanks for you response to all this. Maybe you have misunderstood my post: I mentioned that my priest believed that Adam & Eve died 2 deaths: a physical (i.e.they grow old and die) and a spiritual: they die by disunity with God (as they…
  • Dear Zoxsasi, Have you read St. Athanasius "On the Incarnation"? If you haven't, I would like to go through the theology behind this important piece of work with you.  This can probably help answer your question in depth. Hi Mina, Yes, I've read it.…
  • @Tobit & @Joshua, I'm struggling a bit with this issue for sometime, and Mina, being a scientist, is in a good position to help me. Can we focus on this issue first and then your questions later?  I'm not sure if you are aware, but Mina doesn't …
  • I think this is a new strategy by H.H pope Tawadaros. Pope Shenouda didnt do this, and I admit, there was a lot (A LOT) of problems amongst priests in London, Paris & elsewhere because they had no Bishop. You could argue that the Pope was the Bi…
  • nice! He has a lovely voice.Which Church is this from?
  • Mina, OK. I see what you mean by intelligent design. fair enough. But if man did indeed evolve from other animals and was already destined to die, then there's a problem here: If Adam and Eve sinned, then we inherit that corrupt nature. Hence, we in…
  • Hi Mina, May God bless you abundantly for your time and effort in educating us. It befits me greatly that you are coming here from a scientific/medical background. I've learnt quite a bit on tasbeha.org. The 1st thing i've learnt is that God created…
  • @Minasoliman, Dear Mina, I believe in God, and hence I believe in the Devil. But God doesn't make any sense (the Christian God) if He didnt create us. If we evolved from other species, it puts into question the existence of Adam and Eve.  There may …
  • @Tobit, I'll let Mina explain. He's the one that convinced me its fact. Its now standard science: we came from Apes.
  • @Kahan, Evolution is scientific fact. Ask Minasoliman to give you the proof. You need to accept it as fact. Why do you have a problem accepting this as scientific fact?? Name me ONE scientist that does not believe in Evolution of man from Apes?
  • Mina, Here's what you've written: "...and when humanity was born,"  If you believe in evolution then Humanity is still being born. At what stage did we become humans? At what period in time did mankind become our species from apes?  "God was especia…
