I am confused as to why this problem was escalated. This is the first I have heard of this problem so I have no bias. It seems to me that some monks are upset that their monastery is being divided up to allow for the construction of a roadway as an…

Ophadece,I'm not sure what you are talking about either. The text in question (I think) is ϯϩⲓⲣⲏⲛⲓ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ Ⲫⲛⲟⲩϯ ⲫⲏⲉⲧϭⲟⲥⲓ ⲉ̀ⲛⲟⲩⲥ ⲛⲓⲃⲉⲛ ⲉⲥⲉⲁⲣⲉϩ ϧⲉⲛ ⲛⲉⲧⲉⲛϩⲏⲧ ϧⲉⲛ ⲡⲓⲭⲣⲓⲥⲧⲟⲥ ⲓⲏⲥⲟⲩⲥ ⲡⲉⲛϭⲟⲓⲥ. This is the text on tasbeha.org (although it is grammatically inco…

Again, this is a very complicated issue. Bishop Rafael and Bishop Youssef theoretically can write and prayers into the liturgy as bishops and spiritual men. But they haven chosen to submit to the Synod's Rites and Liturgy committee. Now there may v…

katanikhoros, As I said in many previous threads, we should not remove or add or change the liturgical practice we have now based on personal experience. What is beautiful to you (such as "this spirit and life of liturgy" of the early church), anoth…

Agreed Ramez. I remember reading some other things Taft writes. He takes certain things as facts - and they ARE facts in the Byzantine liturgical rites. But he seems to offer little to support these facts. Maybe it is because he is talking to liturg…

Katanikhoros, This is what I was trying to explain.The natural, organic development of the number of liturgies for Coptic Egypt emerged into 3. Asking why it happened, is like asking why do biological cells have cell membranes. We can guess at a rea…

Just a small correction, Pope Christodolous (11th century) noted a lot of liturgical actions that were indeed questionable, not just the number of liturgies. One that comes to mind is the use of the Byzantine pre-sanctification rite in St Macarius' …

The only solution is to wait for the second coming of Christ. Remember the parable of the women in labor? The joy comes after the suffering. There will always be suffering from Islamic extremists. But when Christ comes with His angels, then will the…

Great job geomike. And thank you for thanking gergesezzat after 8 years. This only shows that people like you are true Christian servants and deacons for Christ and His Orthodox Church.

Here is the Coptic version of Jonah 3:4 Ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲁϥⲉⲣϩⲏⲧⲥ ⲛ̀ϫⲉ Ⲓⲱⲛⲁ ⲉ̀ϣⲉ ⲉ̀ϧⲟⲩⲛ ⲉ̀ϯⲃⲁⲕⲓ ⲛⲁⲩ ⲫ̀ⲟⲩⲱϣ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩⲙⲱⲓⲧⲙ̀ⲙⲟϣⲓ ⲛ̀ⲧⲉ ⲟⲩⲉ̀ϩⲟⲟⲩ ⲛ̀ⲟⲩⲱⲧ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲛⲁϥϩⲓⲱⲓϣ ⲟⲩⲟϩ ⲡⲉϫⲁϥ ϫⲉ ⲉⲧⲓ ⲕⲉⲅ̅ ⲛ̀ⲉ̀ϩⲟⲟⲩ Ⲛⲓⲛⲉⲩⲏ̀ ⲥⲉⲛⲁⲟⲩⲟϫⲡⲥ. Here is the LXX καὶ ἤρξατο Ιωνας τοῦ εἰσελθεῖν…

Not really. You're only option is to put the Coptic Presentations powerpoint from www.stgeorgejc.org on your tablet. I don't think it will work on a Windows phone but I don't have one to test out. I don't think anything else will work

Cyril, first of all your response to Opadecee was quite childish and inappropriate. Ophadecee makes a good point, albeit hidden under severe sarcasm. Secondly, it is not appropriate to reopen your argument that long hymns serve no purpose other than…

Servos,If you need help with login or anything, private message me or minatasgeel.

How many Coptic bishops exist in the world? Is there any link with list of names and sees? Yes. Here you go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holy_Synod_of_the_Coptic_Orthodox_Church I use it quite often. As far as I know, it is update often but I'm no…

Listen, I don't know much of George Bebawy's writings at all. You are deflecting the issue and continue to use the "obedience card". You keep giving secondary sources that do not even properly reference or quote anything but are all tangential to th…

Therein lies your problem copticmission.Your only acceptable definition of divine or God is "creator". There are more suitable definitions for divine. Moses became god to Pharaoh because he partook of the divinity. Moses saw the divine nature where …

Copticmission wrote: “But in the Eastern Orthodox tradition, they take it even a bit farther, to say that after our salvation there's one more step, which is being completely and totally dissolved in the divinity of God - a total union between our h…

Copticmission, In the other thread on missionary, you presented a lot of texts with lots of questionable theories and never responded. This topic seems to be heading in the same direction. I will respond more fully later. But I will point out one t…

Cyril, where did you get this information on Bishop Boulos al-Bush?

With all due respect, Fr Anthony Messiha is not a person I would engaged in a meaningful discussion. I will leave it at that. Regardless, what you described about the atheist is exactly what I said before. I wrote above " Now if you mean that you ca…

Zoxsasi, you wrote "H.H Pope Shenouda III (May The Lord repose his soul) rebuked Christians who believed that they were partaking of the Divine body. Check previous forums on this topic. If you think that you are partaking of the Divine Body of Chri…

I really don't understand what you mean by "What if 2 Coptic Christians are getting married, and one truly believes that He has eating the Life Giving Body of Christ, and another believes that is the Divine Life Giving Body. That Christ's Divinity d…

One could argue that a Catholic who marries a non-Catholic does not necessarily deny or doubt the doctrines of papal infallibility and the Assumption of Mary. He simply chooses to submerges them into a subset of non-essential matters. However, even …

@RomanNomad, I appreciate your willingness to discuss this subject. I hope my comments do not raise another red flag. The truth is we all want perfect union. But I wish to reply to some of comments. First, I like to reiterate Minasoliman's comment…

This has to do with format, not the jenkim. Metanoia is too long for the column width you have in this file. Either lower the full justification rate (not all word processors can do this well) or make the whole text on a single line. Take out the co…

Yios tou Theou (nominative), Yie Theo (dative I think) and a bunch of other forms all mean Son of God. Senothiou is not Son of God in Greek. It is the Greek equivalent of Shenoute, nothing more.
-
Cyril, I know what you are trying to say. And in itself it is not wrong. But in my opinion, it is not the goal either. Maybe an example will be helpful. Let's talk marriage. A man or woman sees beauty and is attracted to another. This beauty does in…
-
Opadece,You're right about double letters fusing. However, if the phenomenon of fusing letters was so prevalent, it would have happened in other conjugated words with "she". So "shennoufi" would be "shenoufi" but it is not. There are other words tha…

Maybe, but I'm not an Egyptologist. So your guess is as good as mine.

He was listening to Church hymns. But I think the point of the whole story is that Church hymns became overly decorated, trying to reinvent prayer based on esthetic beauty. The junior monk was enamored by these hymns in Alexandria and was upset that…
