[quote author=Biboboy link=topic=12639.msg148587#msg148587 date=1323225216] Remenkimi, I'm sorry to tell you this, but what you've described is exactly on par with Donatism. [/quote] Bibo, we are obviously not agreeing on the definition of Donatis…

[quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=12639.msg148567#msg148567 date=1323214540] Remenkemi, I never said I was attending those places of worship, it was an analogy that I used to demonstrate your flawed reasoning. Which still s…

Bibo, What I am describing has nothing to do with Novatianism or Donatism. Nor do I believe that the καθαροι are the only ones who will inherit the kingdom of God. We all sin, no one is blameless or sinless except Jesus Christ. What I am describi…

[quote author=Biboboy link=topic=12639.msg148537#msg148537 date=1323196022] So, by the same logic, St. Augustine had no right to enjoy hearing the words of God and its interpretation by St. Ambrose, when St. Augustine's aim during his attendance in …

[quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=12639.msg148553#msg148553 date=1323210495] If you are not convinced of something, you are convinced of something else (unless you believe that the universe is essentially meaningless and that there is nothing…

[quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=12639.msg148540#msg148540 date=1323198404] Would I or any other person be justified in accusing you for having an ulterior motive just because we have a hard time seeing why you wold attend a mosque or a synagog…

Would you not consider ulterior motives if one dying of cancer goes to the oncology department of his local hospital to convince other cancer patients to refuse chemotherapy? Of course, we can rationalize his actions and say that he deserves to be t…

Let's not sugar coat this. Moments of weakness in your Christian faith is NOT atheism. Atheism is a declaration that God does not exist based on pseudo-intellectualism. The rhetoric of the atheist is not "I am having doubts about God." It is "God is…

I promise not to turn this into a bitter debate but I'm going to be the voice of a different view. There is no such thing as "break from service". Did the Jesus, the Suffering Servant, take a break because he was suffering? In fact, through his su…

Hey Mabsoota, Do you have the 7 volume Arabic version of Iris Habib el Masry's book? Or is it the 2 volume English version? Anybody know where I can get my hands on the Arabic version?

I officially apologizing for plagiarizing Mina. He came up with most of that information on another Coptic forum website that is 11 letters long and ends with .net but shall remain nameless. I just added the important stuff. ;D

TITL, you called ILSM a prophet in post #17. He switched words. He gave you the definition of "profit" as if it was the definition of "prophet". But his definition of "profit" inexplicably and cryptically applies to him being a "prophet" because he …

Start with The Coptic Papacy in Islamic Egypt on the last paragraph of page 4. Throughout the book, it doesn't give specific formulas for the jizya but it does inform us that different rulers put different burdens. Another source is Two Thousand Y…

Nativity feast must always be on Kiahk 29. Every 4 years, in the Coptic leap year, Kiahk 29 will fall on Jan 8. (Every 400 years, it will move one day back permanently. So sooner or later it will fall on Jan 8th permanently and Jan 9th on a leap yea…

ILSM, any theocracy, whether an Islamic state or Protestant British monarchy (who is also head of the Anglican Church) or the Christian world of the Crusades, is by definition incompatible with democracy (unless that state is made up of 100% followe…

Sahidic Coptic is only hard at first. After a while you recognize the Bohairic equivalents quickly. It becomes easier. Of course, if you don't know any Bohairic Coptic, it doesn't help. I would say that study Sahidic Coptic if you want to expose you…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12592.msg148089#msg148089 date=1322535960] Unfortunately Tarteeb Al Bay'aa is not online, It is available in print (3 books) among the books by late Bishop Samuel bishop of Kanater. [/quote] What is the exact title …

First, it depends which website you found this question that you want a response. If it was a Muslim website trying to prove the Bible is wrong, I would not respond in the same manner as a Coptic website. I will have to assume that the audience genu…

Thanks Mina, This is the text Burmester has in his description of the Coptic Church. The exact translation is "As it was (and) it is and it will be from generation to generation and to all the ages of the ages." Although the Greek has the "and", I …

If the conclusion canon hymn (pimisi evol khen eviot) is not supposed to be said till Kiahk 1, then the Advent fasting during Hatoor has not hymn or rite changes. Is it not strange that Advent fasting during the month of Hatoor (from November 26-Dec…

By show of internet hands, does your church sing osper as "As it was, it is and so shall it be..." or do they omit "it is"? I ask this because I have been to many churches who do omit this phrase and I believe it is bordering on heresy. I don't hav…

Can someone post the words of the other "osperin"? I couldn't find it on this site and I don't have the new Southern diocese liturgical book.

[quote author=Michael Boutros link=topic=12593.msg147867#msg147867 date=1321993447] Do you mean Coptic the language or Coptic the tradition? Coptic the language is just that - a language. If it is eventually extinct, it is a sad loss, but does not a…

[quote author=mnc_hnn link=topic=10808.msg147763#msg147763 date=1321790142] I apologise I know this is irrelevant, but reading this thread made me so emotional. I wish I could speak coptic instead of arabic..I can't believe we're losing this beautif…

Regarding science, let's look at 1 Cor 2, "But we speak God’s secret wisdom that has been hidden from everyone until now...The Spirit knows all things. The Spirit even knows the deep secrets of God. It is like this: No one knows the thoughts that an…

The atheist rant quoted here is complete nonsense. Let's not combat the heresy of evolution with the opposite heresy of atheism. The sarcastic atheism quote tries to openly discredit evolution and at the same time covertly discrediting belief in God…

Oghnostoc is a corruption of Aghnostes which means "one with no knowledge" or ignorant. Anaghnosma means reading or reading passage. Anaghnos means impurity Anaghnosis means the act of reading Aghnosis means ignorance or can't know or un-knowledge.…
