Just a clarification: It is not clockwise or counterclockwise, it has to do with West to EAST and EAST to West. Normal procession from West to East against the Sun's setting to signify eternity. It just happens that the clocks move with sun's set…

We certainly love Pope Shenouda He is one of the greatest patriarchs, the Church has received. Yet, we still abide by the Church rites regarding the saints' commemoration. In the hidanis we ray that the prayers of the saints we mentioned may protec…

[quote author=geomike link=topic=13276.msg155350#msg155350 date=1336479257] Where in the Bible preferably in the new Testament, do we find Chrismation? My priest told me in 1 John, but i can't really find it. I know that at first the apostles did it…

Just a clarification: Through Baptism, we receive the newness of life and we are restored to incorruptibly which would be completely achieved in heaven. Through Chrismation, we receive the Holy Spirit and are able to preserve the new man. Two …

Before start quoting the Bible, we need to understand why baptism is essential for salvation. Through the Fall of Adam and Eve, corruption entered into the world and the human nature fell under the curse of death because of that corruption. There w…

Copts are the modern descendants of the Pharaohs. There is no need for debate. If you think otherwise, it is only in your head.

[quote author=qawe link=topic=13237.msg155161#msg155161 date=1335916227] How is it possible not to be descendants of the Pharaohs? The Pharaohs lived in Egypt, the population largely remained intact until the Arab Invasion. Since we know that any op…

Stating that Coptic music comes from Pharaonic music, without any evidence, is like claiming African Americans are the modern sons of Last Chinese Dynasty. Sure they might be some evidence to claim similarities. But you can't claim a direct causal …

Let me quote an opinion I found in an online blog. It nicely summarizes what I've been saying: "It is with such paradoxical emotion that I admit that I, as an Egyptian, am a descendant of the ancient Pharaohs. The obvious and undeniable feeling tha…

It is not strange to say Coptic hymns are rooted in the Pharaonic culture. However, without evidence, it is no more valid to say Coptic hymns are rooted in Pharaonic culture than it is to say Coptic hymns are rooted in Islam or Coptic hymns are roo…

If there is no mixing religion with ethnicity, is Coptic alhan exclusively religious and non-ethnic? It is both. The music is ethnic. The whole discussion is about the music not the words. In conjunction, is Pharaonic music exclusively religiou…

Who are the Pharoahs? They are the early inhabitants of Egypt. Who are the descendants of Pharaoh? The modern Copts. Every nation has a folklore, culture and a certain way of composing musing and singing songs. It is true that we cannot link a c…

How can faith alone saves while the Lord on the Last Day says: 33 And He will set the sheep on His right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then the King will say to those on His right hand, 'Come, you blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom pre…

The Church prayers of the Epiphany feast do give us the answer as to why Jesus baptized. He cleansed, renewed, and sanctified our humanity through His Baptism. Please read the prayers of the Laquan of the Epiphany.

There is a difference between evolution and adaptation. To say that man evolved out of a chimpanzee is nonsense.

It is not a duty that we praise .. rather an enjoyment of being in God's presence. So why the rush?

Should our laziness and lack of knowledge determine what rite is relevant and what is not?
