  • Ophadece, thanks for your comments. [quote author=ophadece link=topic=12781.msg150329#msg150329 date=1326402441] Dear Remenkimi, There is "eyin" pronunciation in Coptic, but no letter, as it descended from Demotic in a weak form. [/quote] According …
  • [quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=9818.msg150341#msg150341 date=1326418997] Where did I say I was trying to prove God to be evil?[/quote] You tried to prove God was unethical by allowing slavery. An unethical God is by definition evil. Therefore…
  • [quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=9818.msg150308#msg150308 Remnkemi, Again, I don't think it is ethical under any circumstance to own other people especially with the permission to beat them to death (Exodus 21:20) , keep their wife and kids if …
  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12781.msg150305#msg150305 date=1326336659] Therefore, you can't claim sound values are intact across accents. Please support this claim within the different English accesnts.[/quote] Have the courtesy to quote t…
  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12781.msg150286#msg150286 date=1326292189] Accent has nothing to do with the difference between the so called Greco Bohairic and authentic Bohairic.[/quote] I wasn't talking about accent. I was discussing how one pe…
  • [quote author=TITL link=topic=12781.msg150248#msg150248 date=1326240825] Everyone really speaks English like me, but (I guess) they wake up in the morning and say "I'm going to speak Australian/British/Southern/FOB today". It's hard to explain and …
  • Give me a little credit Mina. It's been a good few months without a Coptic language debate. I've been good. The truth is I was going through Coptic language debate withdrawal. I had tremors, peripheral neuropathy and everything. Thiamine didn't do a…
  • Rest my friend. So when you have more energy you will see that I am always right like TITL ;D

  • Spend enough time on internet forums and talk to enough people and you will see that everybody believes his opinion or argument is fact, even if there is absolutely no evidence to substantiate it. The typical way to make a questionable datum or piec…
  • Putting aside what is or isn't on this site, let's talk about the rational for copyrights. Copyright laws are clear. For the most part, no one "owns" intellectual property per se. This is different for tangible property, like real estate. If I own…

  • It depends. We need a little more information. If the class is mandatory for your degree, then learn the material and move on. No need to feel like you're being attacked. The long term goal is to have a certain degree of competence in this class fo…
  • Ioannes, I asked Gabriel the same question last month. This was his answer. Read the thread and see for yourselves. The only reason for an atheist to come to this site or any church service without changing their beliefs is not truth. There are ot…

  • Maybe it's just me, but I understood user157's question as a rhetorical question; some sort of call to action for all of us to examine ourselves and see if we are going to put Pope Shenouda's words into action. I hope this is what User157 meant. I…
  • [quote author=Loki Corvinus link=topic=9818.msg149887#msg149887 date=1325621664] [quote author=Servant of Jesus Christ link=topic=9818.msg121085#msg121085 date=1287625475] (Correct me if I am wrong) Okay, so if the big bang doesn't exist, than would…
  • [quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=9818.msg150126#msg150126 date=1326074714] can't say much for God in Leviticus. If "Without God, there can be no such thing as human dignity and human rights" then why give people permission to encroach upon the…
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=12781.msg150088#msg150088 date=1325991320] I will add fuel to the fire, you forgot the school that teaches:  "evkhi". In any of the scenarios:  no one stands and no one prays.  That is the problem. Merry Chr…
  • [quote author=George_Mina_Awad link=topic=11494.msg149962#msg149962 date=1325744373] Gabriel, I find it interesting that you've come back from your three-week absence to revive a thread almost a year old. [/quote] Agreed Jimmy. Is that what I said…
  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12757.msg149909#msg149909 date=1325643965] Correct me if I am wrong. You view is any hymn in the Orthodox Church is to belong to any "Orthodox" tradition. There is no point to debate how erroneous this view is.[/quo…
  • [quote author=+Marmar+ link=topic=12765.msg149838#msg149838 date=1325536620] Hey everyone, Can someone tell me something about the original Bible? I am pretty sure that our Bible is true, but I just would like to know it, with reference with a vide…
  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12757.msg149897#msg149897 date=1325626389] How much evidence do you need to believe in a historical event? More than one. And repeating the same evidence 1000 times doesn't count as more than one. As the saying goes…
  • [quote author=Amoussa01 link=topic=12757.msg149896#msg149896 date=1325626083] Aren't Melkites Catholic? I do not think we were trying to get close to them but rather the Greek Orthodox. [/quote] Initially, Melkite meant Chalcedonian or "belonging t…
  • TITL, No one can yell at you because you are the Guardian of Credibility. You have Guardian infallibility, even when you're wrong.  ;D
  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12757.msg149883#msg149883 date=1325617782] Why would Copts accept a Chalcedonian hymn other than to promote closeness with the Melkite Church which did take place under the auspice of Pope Cyril IV? [/quote] 2 reaso…
  • Just for clarification, Ragheb Moftah's article did mention Eeparthenos. My mistake. However... We never came to that conclusion in the earlier discussion. That was your conclusion, not mine. Your conclusion is solely based on Moftah's article, n…
  • I think that pontificating was directed at me. If it was, then no. Stupid skits on YouTube = not ok if they (1) offend, (2) speak blasphemy, (3) have ulterior motives. On the other hand, calling something stupid because you yourself do not like i…
  • Guys, give them a break. It's the Christmas season. People sing carols in the street all the time. It's a culturally acceptable form of preaching that is specific to this season. If you did it any other time, people will call the police. If you si…
  • If you want to get technical about it, God gave us the garden of Eden to eat and nourish us. We were designed to be vegetarians. It was only after the fall that we became carnivores. Whether fasting or eating, we should strive to go back to the simp…
