I, for one, do not have aggressive anti-Coptic attitude. I have anti-intelligent or anti-scholarly attitude about the Coptic language. I have already shown that our linguistic history has used Greek from Ancient Egypt, through the Roman Empire until…

imikhail, Do you have any proof whatsoever that these so-called poor linguistic Greek hymns were written by rookies? Do you have any proof that these are actually poor linguistic hymns? Non-standard Greek hymns do not equal poor Greek hymns written…

I'm starting to think nobody reads what I write. Historical sociolinguistics in Egypt was always bilingual. The use and function of a language is dependent on political and social factors, not preference or linguistic purity. Greek bilingualism in …

Funny you should ask. Look at the list from the Greek Church of Alexandria. Scroll down to #25 and #27: Dioscorus and Timothy II Arelus: Both condemned by Chalcedon and the subsequent Chalcedonian patriarchs on this list. So yes, they would canonize…

Wait does that mean we agree again? Could it possibly happen more than once? Since we're kind of talking about Pentecost, it's nice to have "one heart".

Apocalypse in Coptic is apokalum'cic which is pronounced Apokalempsis in GrecoBohairic and Abukalempsis or Abugalempsis in Old Bohairic and Sahidic. So Abugalempsis is not a corruption. It is a linguistic variant pronunciation. Just Achillas to Arch…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=11736.msg140460#msg140460 date=1309328147] You may still live your life quite normally with the help of other people as long as you are disinterested. But to integrate in those societies and start your career, you d…

Los Angels, July 16 at St Shenouda the Archimandrite Coptic Society's 13th Conference on Coptic Studies at UCLA.

Let me try to clarify some things. First do not go by the Synaxarium. Just because someone is in the Synaxarium, it doesn't mean it validates sainthood. This simple fact is proven by the fact that the 18th pope of Alexandria was Achillas, not Arche…

How is it that a month before my presentation on Coptic bilingualism in liturgical texts, we have more forums about languages? I swear I'm not starting them to promote my presentation. Either way, I wish to respond to Ophadecee. You wrote, [quote…

Not everyone champions immoral issues like this. Not everyone is silent when it happens. Very many people are very sensitive to homosexuality's infiltration into our lives. Should the minority who objects, protest and despises homosexuality be blame…

Kmeka, One can't count it that way because Evhos would be there twice. We are talking about distinct verses. Whether you say verses 3 and 4 and jump to verse 5 doesn't mean verse 5 should be there twice. I read the link by Wagdi Bishara. He said …
-
I count the last verse of Tenen, "Evhos Evnoti ensyou niben" as a separate verse. So that makes 5 verses: 1. Tenen 2. Trion 3. Evlogon 4. Menenca 5. Evhos I remember one psalmody book had a foot note of a separate verse but I can't find it anymor…

ILSM, Who is "you"? The Gay community or New Yorkers? And what penalties are you talking about?
-
Cephas is right. You keep asking the same question over and over wanting someone to validate your emotional struggle, to vindicate you for what this girl's mom or other Copts have done to you, to confirm the racism about your past life and Muslim ba…

[quote author=John_S2000 link=topic=11514.msg139216#msg139216 date=1307628839] Are you sure that Part 2 of Jesuit Fr Samir Khalil's version of the book was ever printed? It seems it's not publicly available, not even a printed 1st edition of Part 2 …
-
Thank you so much Link Man. The last 2 links are Bishop Samuel's version. The other link on ixoyc.net is Samir Khalil's version. I did not find volume 2 of Samir Khalil's version. If you find that, I'd have to call you Super Link Man.

Peniwt Petros (Baniwd Batros - just for you Ophadecee) - Fr. Peter, I think you are speaking of a different situation than the one brought up. The situation, initially described, happens in many churches. Mine included. Let's clear any assumption…

But serving your country is a righteous purpose. In serving your country, you serve others, which in turn serves God. (Matthew 25). If we consider the armed forces as the pawn of politicians, we are in essence saying we know more about politics tha…

Irishpilgrim, You went through this ridiculuous rant on coptichymns.net a year ago and I closed the forum due to your offensive comments on the Coptic Church, Pope Shenodua, and the clergy. Do not come to a Coptic forum and insult Coptic bishops an…

I gather from your message that you already spoke to your father of confession. Either he did not answer your question to your satisfaction, or you're looking for a "second" opinion. Is there something specific you're looking for? I don't think you …

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=11507.msg138799#msg138799 date=1306871740] There is no such thing as an atheist. They are in a struggle with their inner being. They are trying to suppress the inner self from reaching out to the God that cr…

There are 2 Arabic versions: Pretiosa Maragarita de scientiis ecclesiasticis by Vincentio Mistrih 1966 and La Perle precieuse by Jean Baptiste Perier 1973. The first is in Latin and the second is in French. There are 3-4 chapters on ccel.org that a…

Ioannes, I think you misunderstoond what I meant. Of course the existence of God can be proven. That is why I said I would recite Thomas Aquinas' work. What I was trying to show is that a direct argument may not be as effective as indirect argument.…
-
Ioannes, I personally believe trying to prove Christ exists through the Bible or through archeological evidence is futile. Atheists don't believe in the Bible to begin with and archeological evidence (or any physical evidence) completely relies on …

The online bookstore link doesn't work. I needed the first link. But I'm also looking for Volume 2. Can Link Man pull off Pisemsi oi `natjom (mission impossible)?
-
I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for. The first book that comes to mind is Fr Tadros Malaty Christ in the Eucahrist. This talks specifically about liturgical theology. Another book is Stephen Davis Coptic Christology in Practice. There …
