Aelywn, Welcome to the forums. If you did not tell us you were an Eastern Orthodox catechumen, I would have thought you were Oriental Orthodox. I will respond with a few points. Taken as a whole, your entire analysis is Oriental Orthodoxy. I woul…

Bilingualism has occurred in Egypt before Alexander the Great was victorious over the Ptolymies. There is papyrological evidence that thousands of years before there was a Greece, a community called Hellenomemphites (literally "Greeks in Memphis") l…

Theoretically, if it is in Albair's book or Nahdet alkanays books, then it was approved by the Synod committee. But Tartib adds a lot of additions. When I saw Ibrahim Ayad sing it in vespers of St John the Baptist, I wondered if people had picked up…

A little off topic but I'm curious, How many people or churches are actually using the verses (whether doxologies, aspasmoses and canons) found in Tartib al bay3a? I know Ibrahim Ayad and the chorus used it some of the Wednesday vespers for Pope …

Athanasius, This is a tough situation when one is surprised concerning marriage. Two things I would advise. First, this isn't about you and your willingness to accept a non-Orthodox person into your family. This isn't about what Abound would accept…

Wow. This is good. This is a good first step. To be fair, there are other churches outside the Washington DC area that are engaging in similar practices. In addition, there are plenty of lay people who, even though they don't have these practices i…

Ray, wait till Irishpilgrim adds an "ism" to your name like "Remnkemi=freudism". This isn't a matter of being a thorn in his side. This is a matter of exposing the demonic intention of his post. We need to make it absolutely clear that we will not …

Truthseeker, you came here asking for explanation about Orthodox practices. This is commendable. If however, you came here to an Orthodox site to convince the Orthodox that Orthodox practice and theology is wrong, you're wasting your own time. I wil…

My article is on Coptica 10, "Coptic Bilingualism and Hymn-Writing: A Study of the Glorification Hymn Agios Istin", p. 1-19. You can order it from St Shenouda the Archimandrite Coptic Society or join their Coptic heritage website and get access to a…

[quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=14573.msg165635#msg165635 date=1376323447] you just confused me very much right now. This is what i know and i believe:[/quote] Sorry for the confusion. - The morning doxology has it's own tune. in tamgeed, YOU…

Mina and all, I just wanted to point out that some churches are singing the Adam doxologies in the standard Morning Doxologies tune (Tenoowst). In reality, the Eporo tune is a slow version of the annual Pioowini tune. However, some deacons believe …

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14562.msg165589#msg165589 date=1375908525] A defense of Islam is not necessary. In matters of whether it is a peaceful religion, such a debate is unnecessary. As to whether or not it is true, the answer is th…

Drew, your contributions here and on coptichymns.net were always appreciated and welcomed. You speak with a knowledge of rites and hymns that few people can grasp. Do not take anything as a personal attack on yourself. I will address a few points…

foosteer means star and it's Greek. Piioh (not pioh) means moon. sand is pisho in Coptic. Land can also be tikhora but it is usually pikhahi.

God bless you for your commitment and effort. There is another pan-Oriental Orthodox group that shares the vision of your group. It is called oneorthodox.org. Take a look at this video: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=155491327980732&set=vb…

There are 2 main recordings on Youtube. Both are from a group of priests who learned the Coptic Gregorian liturgy (I assume) from Muallem Zaher) In the first video, all the priests sing as a chorus: with Muallem Zaher. The second is broken into …

This will probably be my last post on tasbeha.org. First of all, I never meant nor said that the parable of the wedding feast implied we must have an external garment that is undefiled. It is actually an internal garment that must be pure. If w…

RO, I'm reminding you to reply to me ;) Least of all, My defense of the current practice of not allowing communion is not developed or revolved around Judas' attendance of the Last Supper. That was simply adjunct evidence. My defense is based on (…

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14492.msg165134#msg165134 date=1371604588] Pope Kyrollos 6th called both this and the practice of restricting men from communing after wet dreams a gnostic practice. [/quote] Respectfully, this is Pope Kyrill…

All the questions have been answered by Pope Shenouda's teachings referenced earlier. There is no "judaizing" in our church. In fact, quite the opposite. The Church has made a conscious effort to remove unspiritual Jewish customs. If the reason for…

[quote author=mabsoota link=topic=14459.msg165087#msg165087 date=1371288446] i take your point, but we have to be careful not to treat gay people like some sort of modern 'lepers' and withold from them the words or God and the love of God. [/quote] …

1. Everything Mabsoota said is perfect. 2. No drinking after 9. Depending on how old you are, if you're above 30, your prostate and bladder are more active. 3. Stay away from caffeine, power drinks, sugar, and any other stimulant that keeps you up …

There is more than one version of Nikhoros tiro in Coptic. You'll find HCOC's book and recording is different than the text in St Shenouda JC's power point presentation and SUS Diocese's Coptic Reader app. I guess HCOC's text is more "official" th…

No one introduced anything. The Greek numerical system is older than the Coptic alphabet. The Greek numerical system is based on Melisian (local) Greek system taken from Ancient Phoenician. It is dated some where from 7th century BC to 2nd century B…

mabsoota, you hit one example on the nail and it is Protestant. Salvation in a moment is a Protestant heresy. If one doesn't firmly proclaim this, then one must read HH Pope Shenouda's book "The Heresy of Salvation in a moment". Now look at the li…

A good translation of a song is NOT Protestant. ;) Second the English translation of Very early Sunday morning is Protestant. If you want details, I can explain. I think the Arabic translation is also Protestant (although I don't have proof that i…
