Absolutely, I think it's going to be a lot of fun explaining these theories :) Just keep my name out. When I'm wrong, I don't want people saying "Remnkemi is infallible" or something ridiculous like that. I would caution against making statements ab…

Unfortunately this website didn't actually publish Fr Shenouda's article. The article I read 2 years ago by Fr Shenouda mentioned the Virgin's fasting during her pregnancy as Pope Christodolus' reason for the canon. This blog states Pope Christodolo…

Mina, keep in mind that I could not verify Fr Shenouda's references. Fr Shenouda's article on Coptic world has been removed and I don't have a copy. So as of now it is a theory only. Hopefully, someone has a copy and I can start looking for the exac…

I don't really understand the question? But if it is what I think you mean, then yes. This too is a personal prayer. This bread is His Holy Body. We are members of His Holy Body. Therefore, the bread He makes into His Holy Body is us. If I fail to …

I know someone very close to me who started a relationship with a Roman Catholic who had no interest in religion, much less the Coptic church. They actually broke up many times because of religion. Fast forward 2 years. They were engaged in the Cop…

Every prayer in the Coptic Church is a personal prayer if you personally pray it, even the communal ones.
-
There is one thing to remember here. We don't really need to know the specific providence where an Arabic Protestant song originated and entered the Coptic church. What is more important is the ability to identify the Protestant theology in these so…

I have a general question though: what do people do when they do not live anywhere near an Orthodox church? I would welcome anyone's comments on this question. Sorry for the late response. When someone does not live near an Orthodox Church, you sp…

Today at work, my American receptionist told me that a guy from my church called name phi LAA potter. That's how she pronounced. She was wrong but closer than phi LUU pa TEER.

There is a difference between forgiving someone for wrongdoing against you, and forgiving someone for sinning against you. Any layman is able to forgive a clergyman for wronging him. No layman is able to forgive the the clergyman for sinning against…

Kahan,I understand your apprehension about claims made against HH Pope Shenouda. I was the most vocal proponent for HH Pope Shenouda during the election process in 2012. I get very upset at the recent trend to vilify HH Pope Shenouda. But Mina was n…

Yes, FI low Pay ter. Put another way, what is the name of the 1st century Alexandria Jew? Philo. How do you pronounce his name? /ˈfaɪloʊ/ or FI low. And what about pater? It is pronounced /ˈpātər/ Technically pirefchioui means "the thief" but it's …

Some more of my favorite mispronunciations Maximus: said "mak si MOOS". Should be "MAX emus"Dometius: said "do ME ti OOS". Should be "do ME she us"Decius: said "De key us". Should be "DE she us" or "DE shus"Philopater: said "fi LOO pa TEER". Should …

How is incorporeal pronounced? How about beneficent? Benficent - already described above. Should be /bəˈnefəsənt/ or "be NEFey sent"Incorporeal - Should be /ˌinkôrˈpôrēəl / or "in kor POR eal"

I still think Rem is a pirate
-
What the heck? Our isn't "ar"... what are you a pirate? Go to Biblegateway.com. Look for audio bibles. Select NIV dramatized and Matthew 6. Go to 1:29 and you will hear him say "Ar father in heaven". It's not hour, it's /ar/. Now if you select NIV …

Yes. But Genesis 1 is describing an event modern science can't. No one should expect cohesion with its use of "four elements science" to "modern science". In the case of the fiery iron, you (and many of the fathers) are trying to use simple science …
-
But doesn't simplicity loose its efficacy if it is inaccurate scientifically or otherwise?
-
And I assume @davidschanter would include hymns with old English too. Thine: Said "Zine". Should be DINE. (And fyi, grammatically, Thine is used when the attached noun starts with a vowel or "h". Otherwise, it is Thy. So the correct phrase is Thine …
-
towards: usually said "to WAAARDS". It should be "TO wards" (It's almost one syllable). And in American English it is toward, not towards.
-
as for wala you're right when you pronounce the word carefully or slowly but in day to day language it's used as such.. pretty much like Tadros for Tawadros, and tedakeya for taodakeya.. oujai Hmmm. This corroborates my hypothesis on Erian Moftah. B…
-
For the record, I really don't like the example of fiery iron to explain theosis. I wrote about it in a previous thread a few years back. I will try to find it. The example has so many contradictions to modern science that needs a lot of "reconcilia…
-
Oh my God, this list is going to be really long. Pantocrator: Said "Ban TO kra TOR". Should be "PANto CRA tor" (If you live in NY, the first "t" is silent. For everyone else, it is a very fast, weak /t/ sound.)Capernaum: Said "KA per NUM". Should be…

One small correction. Twbi is Bohairic for brick. Twwbe is Sahidic for brick. Twbe is the name of the fourth Coptic month in Sahidic. Twbi is the Bohairic word for the fourth Coptic month. Just for extra clarification. al-tub is the original Arabic …

So by this logic, if we call the Cappadocian fathers (St Basil, St Gregory of Nyssa and St Gregory of Nazianzus) Greek fathers, we would all be wrong since ethnically they were not from Greece, even though everything they wrote was in Greek. I think…

Thank you Mina for your comments. Can we skip the guessing game? We all know we can't read your mind and we are not as smart as you.
-
With all due respect coptic_deacon, I don't think it is fair to ask a very difficult theological question and then say "don't vomit huge slabs of info (and) paste them in the response box." RO answered as you requested. But any short response fails …
-
@qawe, You are absolutely right about the fallacy of this article. But what is worse is that this is not about ecumenism. This is about Protestant infestation. I went to their website. It is nothing more than an international non-denominational Prot…
-
It's about some weird pantheistic Eastern religion. I have not heard of them before. Why do you want to stop them? Personally, I can't think of a good reason to do this. I agree with qawe. Why do we need to stop this? It is after all the United St…

Fine. But Arius was excommunicated for specific beliefs, not for being non-Christian in general. In addition, we still haven't defined who exactly holds these beliefs that are non-Christian. Anyhow, I'm eagerly waiting to hear from Minasoliman (or a…
