[quote author=Stavro link=topic=9251.msg150394#msg150394 date=1326485947] The breath in the garden was given only once to Adam and passed on to Mankind through begetting children. What passes to Mankind through intercourse? [/quote] We were all cre…

[quote author=Andrew link=topic=12797.msg150406#msg150406 date=1326495378] Fr. Peter, thanks for the post. But I need you to help me understand why in the world many of our priests do not share your concern?! I'm either left to conclude that you are…

There is a fundamental difference between the Orthodox Church and the Protestants. The Orthodox Church keeps and observes what the Lord entrusted Her. Protestants, on the other hand, protest against the Orthodox Church for doing so; either knowingl…

Protestantism is full of heresies that our Coptic youths must be aware of so they won't fall in its snares. Hosea is crying: "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I also will reject you from being pri…

[quote author=user157 link=topic=12797.msg150380#msg150380 date=1326474764] I do not appreciate the slander towards people who may not be willfully blind. They have some of the best music is of course written by them. They have talents given by god …

Dear Reminkimi, Fluency in Arabic is a must for someone to discern the real differences between certain sounds among the various Arabic sounds. I did not avoid the discussion of the ayn that Copts use nawadays. Rather, I chose not to debate someth…

[quote author=LoveisDivine link=topic=9251.msg150337#msg150337 date=1326411452] I wonder, is there a relationship between Christ breathing on the Apostles and God breathing on Adam in the garden? [/quote] Not at all. The breath of Christ was for …

The breath of life that Adam took at creation left Adam once he disobeyed. The grace of eternal life that mankind was granted was gone through Adam's disobedience. This breath of life we take again in the baptistery. That is why St Paul calls bapti…

Here is my opinion. Liturgical services are for people of the same faith worshipping with One Spirit. Gabe is a heretic, according to the Church, and should not be welcomed in the Church liturgical services as a REGULAR member. Neither should he …

Praising is a liturgical practice where the participants have the same faith and are praying with one accord. Concerts are not liturgical by definition. How can we Orthodox pray with the protestants who protest against our faith? How can we pray w…

Therefore, you can't claim sound values are intact across accents. Please support this claim within the different English accesnts. Take the Arabic letters kaf and zal. Phonetically, most Arabic variants have them in their phonemic inventory a…

The Difnar is the saints' stories in a doxology type. Some of the saints stories are read before the saint's icon with lit candles. The Synexarium, on the other hand, is just a plain history of events and is read rather than being chanted.

What spiritual value do these concerts give? Our Church praises are much deeper spiritually than such Protestant concerts.

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=12772.msg150075#msg150075 date=1325958904] Also the instructions for deacons issued by Hg Bishop Youssef of the Southern Diocese says that tonias are to be worn during Vespers and Matins. [/quote] This was the …

The Tradition is that the Lord gave His disciples the Chalice with His right hand. Also the instructions of the liturgy of Alexandria is that the priest should hold the chalice with their right hand.

Receiving communion with the right hand is the traditional way in the Church. We received this Tradition from the apostles. There is nothing wrong with keeping the Tradition as received. Will God condemn us for not keeping the Tradition? It will de…

[quote author=qawe link=topic=12772.msg150001#msg150001 date=1325823446] Our tonias aren't that dirty, but most of them aren't hung up. It's unfortunately a bit of a mess like you say. I've heard that the priest blessing the tonia is only the pries…

Just to further add a bit of information to what Fr. Peter already said. The liturgical vestments used to be consecrated with the Myron till recently just like the chalice and the paten. Liturgical vestments are holy ones.

new psalmody books give the title "Psali Batos" for Aripsalin. Older books give the title "Roumi part for the Three Saintly Children". Thanks Reminkimi for this good news. I am glad that the new books are following the manuscripts. We need to retu…
