I found the cd on amazon. You can download download the individual tracks for a buck each.
So worth it.

Generally I prefer the Coptic/Arabic version of hymns like this.
But Zoxsasi, this sounds AMAZING.
How can I get the audio out of this so I can put it on my mp3 player?
This is the one that I use; the commentary can be a bit redundant in some parts, but is excellent at explaining verses and giving background info in others. All in all, I would recommend it.

Update: My grandfather passed away today; the last thing he ever ate was the Holy Communion. I can say with full confidence that he is in Paradise now.
Thank you all for your prayers.

I'm just curious, does the sole issue of faith revolve around Chalcedon/2nd Ephesus or does it go much further than that?

As far as I know it does not. Person…
Great questions.
I'm currently reading St. Augustine's Confessions, and I'm blown away by his perspective on things. It certainly opens up your mind to seek to become Christians in the manner these questions address.

Here's another story from the desert fathers:
Some brothers asked Macarius, 'How should we pray?' He said, 'There is no need to talk much in prayer. Reach out your hands ofte…
To add to what Unworthy said:
-When you pray the Lord's prayer, keep in mind that these are words given to us straight from God; say them carefully.
-When you pray from the Agbeya, treat the prayers and psalms that you are reading as if they are yo…

But if the church believes that His divinity and humanity were always united, how could the two conflict with each other? Is it the same concept as when the body conflicts with the spirit, even though they're both the same being?
I'd be very curious to see if the response on a site like Orthodoxchristianity.org would be the same or not (a forum that isn't strictly Coptic).
Anyway, I don't know of any either...lol
This faith just makes sense. But so much of it rests on perspective, and until you experience something that truly changes yours, you will more than likely be convinced that yours is the correct one. I know this because i did the same thing.
How do…
As far as making a Facebook group, I don't think I'd be the right person to start it but I'd certainly join. This just shows you where our world is headed.

This one is a much closer translation to the Arabic version.
I can't remember if this was NEW Years or the Feast of the Theopany a few years back. Anyway, the liturgy had started much later than scheduled, and I was incredibly tired. When we got to the prayer about the plants of the fields, etc it was me who …
