[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10602.msg129445#msg129445 date=1296679878] But the issue is that I want to be Orthodox. I joined the Coptic Orthodox Church because it is necessary to join the Church as she exists and not make up our own Church…

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10615.msg129419#msg129419 date=1296670826] How do know if a word is feminine or masculine? [/quote] 8 times out of 10, if the noun or the object is masculine, then the definite article is masculine. So the noun, "man"…

[quote author=aiernovi link=topic=10602.msg129322#msg129322 date=1296607109] This is true. Think about the hymns we say everyday. Do you know what they mean? But even more than that, think about inquirers of the faith...it is not fair to make them l…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10602.msg129262#msg129262 date=1296591454] Remnkemi, do you have any idea when the Church of Alexandria was first described as 'Coptic Orthodox'? Would the use of the word 'Coptic' point to a period after the M…

Godlovesme, There are numerous sources. Everything Fr Peter said is accurate. The main source about St Mark's first encounter with Ananius is from the "History of the Patriarchs of Egypt". I'll find you an exact reference if you want it. The histo…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10595.msg129077#msg129077 date=1296466332] I have to say that as a convert it is rather confusing to say the least that on the one hand the Coptic Tradition is presented as unchanging, and on the other hand we l…

Fr Peter, Correct me if I'm wrong. The Nicene Father Series places 5 councils between the Council of Nicaea and the Council of Constantinople mainly because of their chronological order. And it is true that the Eastern Orthodox see these 5 councils…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=10495.msg127551#msg127551 date=1295521053] Mina, and all, please note - the hymn in English should be like this: Praise God in all His saints, Jesus Christ the Son of God, WHO was baptised in the Jordan. (Not two …

If you say etafchioms, then you maybe changing the sentence. In Coptic, "Vetafchioms" literally means, "the One who took water" or "the One who was baptized". If you say "etafchioms", it can have 2 meanings, depending on context. It can mean "who wa…

[quote author=joseph.vandenbrink link=topic=10342.msg126346#msg126346 date=1294213430] H20 has three states: solid, liquid, and gas. Each state is separate and distinct from the others, but at the same time is identical and is the same thing as the…

Depending on what state you live in, it may be illegal to discriminate on sexual orientation. Honestly, renting is a commercial transaction. All commercial transactions should be based on mutual exchange only. In this case, you rent your property …

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10324.msg127082#msg127082 date=1295069866] Rem, Many of us here have studied this issue thouroughly, just because you spout off some sources or copy and paste from a unverified source on a website does not mean you h…

First of all, not all Palestinians are Muslim. There is a small percentage that are Christian. The Israeli government's treatment to Palestinians is many times hypocritical. Israeli government's treatment to the Coptic Church specifically is also h…

So no matter what references I use, my argument is weak because I don't use or refer to your approved references. Who has the very weak biased argument?

Linguistically speaking, a dialect has 2 meanings 1. a language variety most often applied to regional speech patterns, but also social patterns. A dialect associated with a social class is called a sociolect. A regional variety is called a topolect…

Since you are determined to use B'nai HaElohim as your main defense for the Book of Enoch, let's discuss. I have 2 main arguments against this theory: Strong's definitions and NT usage of titles First, let me preface by saying that I don't know Heb…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=10324.msg126333#msg126333 date=1294200379] Remnkemi, I kinda feel bad for you. [/quote] Ioannes, the fact that you prefaced your response with a comment against me personally shows your argument is weak. Please stick…

Mina, there are not freely downloaded. They are published in books. And copyright law says if it's published, no copying or distributing within 75 years of publication (over 75 years it becomes public domain), without the publisher's consent. You ha…

Ophadece, I wasn't really talking about pronunciation because that is a purely linguistic phenomenon. I was talking about removing Greek words from Coptic texts. I was trying to respond to the notion that the last verse of the Third hoos should say…

First I have to apologize about my last point. I was mistaken. Jude 1:14 is found in 1 Enoch 1:9. Second, I know I only used one site for references but if I spent more time I probably will find more references, both on the internet and in scholarly…

Let's talk about canonicity. The Scripture canon, whether Old Testament or New Testament, is held to a extremely high standard. This standard includes, 1. A universal acceptance by the Church. 2. No contradiction to other parts of the Bible. Thi…

Emiles and Ioannes, I think this has to do more with diversity than it does with converts. What you have described is the same thing felt by Egyptians who recently emmigrated. They often feel they cannot engage with second generation youth. They of…
