Dzheremi, I admit I do not know Anselmian doctrine but what I found online seems to be inline with Orthodox doctrine of propitiation. Maybe your understanding (or any RC or Protestant understanding) is not inline with Anslem's theology. I found thi…

Should we open another thread on polygamy or continue here because I have a few controversial comments about the topic. I think it may help us learn something.

Wait a minute. Isn't petitioning the US congress with fake address or zip code when you don't live in the US a form of lying? Isn't using fraud as much of a sin as murder?

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=12412.msg145612#msg145612 date=1317764489] if you would still like to carry on, tell me which part of the GregorIan liturgy that is and I'll be clearer...[/quote] Are we playing riddle games now? If you have somethi…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12412.msg145579#msg145579 date=1317725148] As this, O Lord, is the command of Your only-begotten Son, that we share in the commemoration of Your saints It is the command of the Son which the Church is executing thr…

[quote author=TITL link=topic=12412.msg145585#msg145585 date=1317732093] Are you saying the Coptic text is wrong and everything will make sense if we change the "k" to "n"? Please tell me I misunderstood.[/quote] What I am saying is that Coptic tex…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=12412.msg145578#msg145578 date=1317724668] I see it a perfectly fine translation. It is pretty much the same as saying: "I am the one who gave you his bread to eat". That is perfectly alright as far as English is c…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12412.msg145555#msg145555 date=1317685002] If you look at the commemoration of the saints, the text says arikataxion P[oic `nteker`vmeu`i `nnye;ouab tyrou Dear Reminkimi, I am not sure where you got the text above.…

My opinion is that the commemoration of the saints, like certain other liturgical texts, is an example where the text switches tenses and persons in the middle of the narrative, some times mid-sentence. A similar, more pronounced example is found in…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=12414.msg145446#msg145446 date=1317454764] Dear imikhail, There is nothing wrong at all with any of the verses. This debate was started before on Coptichymns.net, and I was enthused to search for evidence, and guess…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=12394.msg145252#msg145252 date=1317069243] And Remenkimi, there is nothing like exceptions to a language, since there are no fixed rules in the first place (unlike the Greco-Bohairic made up dialect).[/quote] You ha…

Copticuser20, The short answer: The current Arabic names are derived from Sahidic names of the Coptic months, which in turn are derived from the Ancient Egyptian names of the Coptic names. Ancient Egyptian names of Coptic months = Sahidic names o…

In many posts before, I was told in OB "e" is always "a", "t" is always "d", "Ti" is always "di". This is only a sample of OB rules mentioned on these forums by you or imikhail. If this isn't so, please let us know. If these rules are found in OB,…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12394.msg145225#msg145225 date=1317046122] Dear Reminkimi, I do not want this to turn into a long debate, or a short one for that matter. [/quote] Neither do I. The only thing I want to caution you on is that you…

Ophadece, I know you are not a fan of Greco-Bohairic, but before you accuse GB of everything wrong in the Coptic language, please review your comments. The names of the Coptic months, as we currently have them, are Arabic transliteration of OB, no…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12385.msg145136#msg145136 date=1316910806] As Reminkimi pointed out, it was Daniel that is commanding the three Children to praise. So, by adding Daniel to the verse, the meaning, the occasion and the verse itself h…

Cephas, You are really close to becoming Super Patristics link man. How do you find these things? Thank you for great work. If you don't mind, maybe you can help me on another history fact-finding mission. I'll pm you.

Not only that, Daniel 3:88 in the Septuagint version says, "Bless the Lord, Hanaias, Azarias, and Misael; sing hymns and highly exalt him." There is no mention of Daniel in all Septuagint versions.
-
imikhail, I know what you are saying but hymn may be looking for another word that is not e;naerqyibi or acerqyibi . You are basically saying that the main verb is in the past tense, so everything in the subordinate phrase has to be in the past te…

[quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=12160.msg144974#msg144974 date=1316617235] Forgive me, but I'm also not comfortable with the concept of a 'hierarchy of time' either. To me, implicit in the definition of the word 'hierarchy' is a sense of superior vs.…

[quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=12160.msg144949#msg144949 date=1316529765] I wouldn't call that an implied hierarchy. When speaking about more than two things, one will often list them by saying first, second, third... etc. That is not a hierarchy, j…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12160.msg144937#msg144937 date=1316494953] But we need to realize there's a fine line between veneration and unconsciously fabricating facts motivated by cult-like blind devotion. We see this happening a lot in Kiah…
-
Cephas, Let's clarify some things. Correct me if anything is wrong. 1. The doxology does imply a hierarchy since it states first, second and third. 2. There is a hierarchy of roles in the Trinity, not essence or divinity. 3. There is a hierarchy…

mabsoota, I honestly want to be in the Greek, Coptic, English section with you. Can I hitch a ride with you to heaven, even if its on Greyhound? :D

How about the guy who threw 517 yards in the opening game? Patriots are going to win another Superbowl. PS. I don't follow football at all. Basketball...that's my thing. And the Celtics still have the highest number of championships.
