Ophadece, There is no need to keep pointing out my inadequancies in Arabic. You said "refer to an Arabic dictionary, rather than Christian websites." And I did. I found 30 or so dictionaries. If you believe articles and dictionaries are inadequate,…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11834.msg142994#msg142994 date=1313050268] Dear Remenkimi, Your lack of understanding in Arabic keeps you going on a slippery slope. [/quote] This is why I asked for help. The word sha'anin is an Arabic word, not …

Cephas, What you describe in your first paragraph is the current Orthodox understanding of glossolali. However, has anyone ever actually checked what the fathers have said or given any references? It is clear that Wayne's description of glossolal…

Here's what I found from a little research The Greek word, Hossana, ὡσαννά, /hōsanná/ is derived from the Hebrew word הושיעה־נא, /hôšî‘â-nā'/. /hoshi a na/ is literally verbatim of Psalm 118:25. It is also found in Jeremiah 23:5, 6. It is plausible…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=11834.msg141332#msg141332 date=1310482011] Hosh Aana = literally "keep from us"; in rendition--save us; or keep bad from being around us. [/quote] Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I don't think Hosh Ana is the et…

[quote author=irishpilgrim link=topic=11903.msg142931#msg142931 date=1312986237] I may have missed someone, but I haven’t noted that we have any practicing, professional level language and literature experts in the Egyptian Arabic (in which the last…

Wayne, maybe you can help us by answering some questions on glossolalia (speaking in tongues). The article that geomike and anba bola referred to does not seem to describe the same phenomena. I will say that St Antony experienced glossolalia when …

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142709#msg142709 date=1312682645] You are the one who quoted Moftah as saying he invented GB for unification with the Greek Church. This is a political reason. Do I really need to show you where your refer…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142710#msg142710 date=1312682949] Common, should we apply this logic to the English language? Then how about these words: ice and justice Cycle and bicycle cat and ceremony [/quote] This has nothing to…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142704#msg142704 date=1312681263] This has nothing to do with courtesy. You need to read the whole thing to get the spirit of the manuscript. It is very easy to get hyped up about one line or one word. Ins…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142698#msg142698 date=1312680369] I thought you said that Modern Hebrew was a standardization effort. Are you saying now that Eliezer invented Hebrew? :o[/quote] The standardization was the invention. He d…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142695#msg142695 date=1312679843] It is by definition an invention spontaneously emerged by one person or a few people. Regardless of what it replaced, it is an invention. So which is it Reminikimi, invent…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142696#msg142696 date=1312679922] Please provide a reference that OB was known across Egypt. Worrell's article only speaks of 2 rural villages that differed from other places (he mentioned Assuit). Refer…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142694#msg142694 date=1312679659] Ritual books (I assume you mean liturgical ritual books) do not describe pronunciation. Are you serious? Do you mean that all the books that have Coptic in Arabic letters…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142663#msg142663 date=1312652303] INVENTION CANNOT BE AUTHENTIC.[/quote] Tell that to the thousands of people who speak one of the many constructed languages I listed. Tell that to the millions of Jews spea…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11962.msg142677#msg142677 date=1312666475] Remenkimi, I regret the fact that you keep saying things and getting back on what you said earlier to prove a point later. [/quote] I don't understand what you are saying. …

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142659#msg142659 date=1312651538] The pronunciation of Bohairic was known and received down from generation to generation. It is well documented in our ritual books and manuscripts.[/quote] Ritual books (I …

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11962.msg142636#msg142636 date=1312624995] Dear Remenkimi, I may go tomorrow to church, and ask them to pronounce every 'a' letter as an 'o' and the followers of the church will follow me blindly. Then next generati…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142634#msg142634 date=1312617685] It's irrelevant if the pronunciation was invented by one person. May irrelevant to you .. but not to me and those who love their heritage.[/quote] It is precisely because…

Now it's obvious you never read anything I write. I'm sure you didn't read any of the references. I gave you plenty of references why GB should be considered a linguistic phonologic variant. I even used your own references. Let me repeat again. It…

Dear Ophadece and imikhail, I want to address your main argument against GB: An invented language by one person cannot be considered a language, dialect, or autentic. If this is not the basis of your argument against GB, please clarify. Linguistic…

[quote author=liftmyheart link=topic=11980.msg142522#msg142522 date=1312429483] The link provided above is quite informative, but it fails to explain the part that George_mina_awad highlighted above; or maybe I skipped past that part accidentally? […

Epchois nai nan gave us a really good reference. Here's a summary Old Testament Basically, the slavery in the Old Testament is not the slavery we think about. It is not a form of oppression, abduction or human trafficking that was seen in the pre-C…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11962.msg142469#msg142469 date=1312308338] On reflection there is no need for me to give any more examples than the references imikhail posted before. If people however think I should do, let me know. Dear Remenkimi…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142426#msg142426 date=1312243244] Do not just make empty claims. I have presented you with at least 13 scholarly references proving the authenticity of Old Bohairic. Why do not you tell us about your sta…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=11962.msg142396#msg142396 date=1312206690] Old Bohairic is the authentic and well documented pronunciation of the Coptic language. [/quote] Apparently, imikahil is also discussing an issue that was discussed ad nau…

[quote author=Amdah link=topic=11962.msg142386#msg142386 date=1312179201] What is the correct pronunciation of the old bohairic letters that differ from their Greco-bohairic pronunciation. Thanks [/quote] There is no such thing as correct and inco…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11903.msg142229#msg142229 date=1312017987] Dear Remenkimi, Evangelical churches in Egypt (as I found on wikipedia) are part of the "North American" denomination - that is as far as I could understand. So that is an …

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11903.msg142195#msg142195 date=1311969665] Dear Remenkimi, First of all, I wasn't talking about Evangelist churches. I was merely talking about Church of England churches in Egypt.[/quote] Maybe I'm mixing up church…
