Italian_Copt, excellent response and good find with the podcast. I was not finished with my response but it follows the same line. The EO church have a problem with the Estonian Orthodox are Orthodox? (There are actually 2 Estonian Orthodox Churche…

@kassiane"I'm just trying to sort everything out-the "personal relationship with Jesus" thing IS very evangelical and many whom I know use it ad nauseum. But on the other hand, I believe there should be SOME relationship between us and God -apart f…

No, not officially. But the Coptic Church (or any Orthodox Church) never claimed a monopoly on saints. We recognize local saints of other Apostolic Churches out of piety.

As far as I know, the liturgy of St Basil uses the annual ending, not the festive. My understanding is that the common festive ending is used from Vespers to Midnight Tasbeha to Matins to the Liturgy of the Word/Catechumens. It is not used for the l…

The original Prayer of Reconciliation in the Gregorian Liturgy ends with the longer ending of Kyrie eleison. But the festive Kyrie eleison (the normal as you call it) is not necessarily associated with the Gregorian Liturgy since we use the same fes…

Which Paradise of the Fathers are you looking for? E.A.Wallis Budge published the Paradise of the Fathers based on a Syriac manuscript in the British Museum. Volume 1 can be found here. Volume 2 can be found here. The Lausaic History of Palladius …

Sorry for the confusion. Let me clarify. No abortifacients are ever allowed. But anti-fertilizations devices are allowed. When I said it is an individual matter, I meant the decision to use contraceptives at all is up to the person under the pastora…
-
Which pill? Some are anti-fertilization pills, some are abortifacient pills. Technically, the Coptic Church forbids contraception that destroys the fertilized egg (abortifacients). Contraception that prevents fertilization is allowed. Practically, t…

I lost you qawe. Bishop Raphael is speaking about taraneem that some anonymous young person made while drinking coffee or something similar (which unfortunately this is most often the case for these taraneem). These theologically weak yet popular ta…

Don't agree about what? That we can't get rid of it? Or that people like it? Or that they are filled with bad theology? Or that they rhyme?

Paris Arab 203 does not have the sentence in question. The Upsalla manuscript (which is O. Vet 12) does have the sentence. The Paris manuscript is older and Fr Samuel elSoriany's Shiheet manuscript is a copy of the Upsalla manuscript. I don't know h…

What page in the Shiheet mauscript/pdf is this from? Is it volume 1 or volume 2 of the Shiheet manuscript? I'll get you the information.

You should still contact Bishop Youssef of Bolivia. [email protected]. He might be able to get you in contact with local Coptic services or priests. You can find more information and call Bishop Youssef directly here http://orthodox…

What country are in you in? There are many satellite Coptic services done in many countries that may already have a service or a visiting priest. If not, we can direct you to the nearest bishop and I'm sure they will figure something out. I know for…

Minasafwat,Thank you for giving us the page number from Ibn Kabar. Since there are many different publications of Ibn Kabar's Lamp of the Darkness, you will either need to give us the whole reference including publisher and year or at least give us …
-
Minasafwat wrote "- but the base of chanting psalm150 in elsharat is not correct ..as we know from ibn kabar.." Can you give us the exact reference or the text from Ibn Kabar? As you can see, we have conflicting information from Ibn Kabar. I quoted …
-
Ophadece, Minasafwat, I appreciate your comments but like I said before, critical thinking requires us to look at evidence, not create or fit observations in preconceived categories. Reducing the definition of Batos to a line with 7-9 syllables/note…
-
5. Regarding Minatasgel's comment on ari'alin's tune as a Batos hymn, I would say it is possible that ari'alin was a traditional Batos hymn with multiple "shades"/versions but then the tune only changed to the current version. There are a few prob…
-
So it turns out I was wrong on some things and some other points need clarification. 1. It turns out the hymn of Auen piagioc is found only in Paris Copte 68. I mistakingly thought this hymn was the same as the passage we read after Tenen that…
-
@ophadece,Is it really necessary to say I got the wrong end of the stick? What do mean to say with these ad hominem comments? If you want to discuss the content of what I wrote, we will. But I'm getting tired of comments like this to introduce your …
-
I'm not sure why you think the tune in question is Aripsalin. Ibn Kabar specifically speaks of Tenouweh ensok. More to follow below. It's hard to say what exactly Ibn Kabar means. He is not very detailed sometimes. I think his point is that the Bat…
-
I'm going to expand on what dg920 said in light of what I wrote in the Altar deacon thread. We need to go back to our three tier requirement: (1) liturgical history, (2) patristic writings, and (3) church canons. When it comes to specific tunes, it …
-
These series of articles by canadox only prove my point on Coptic fatwas. In the article "What is a Deacon?", the definition for a deacon is "The deacon is a father, example, and leader to the congregation in all social, charity and administrative m…
-
I am going to reiterate what I learned from another forum: It is a protestant mindset to believe we must "return" and bring back any ancient rite, whether it is the diaconate or specific actions of the diaconate. Liturgical scholars have show over a…

Rick,Do you really think that non-Muslims believe Islam only allows killing in self defense? Do you really think that what ISIS is doing to Copts and other Middle East nations is out of self defense? You come on a Christian site telling Christians n…

Fr Peter,Before the split, approximately how many priests and people were in the BOC? For those who did leave, will they return to the Ancient British Church or the Catholic Apostolic Church or the Communion of Western Orthodox Churches or the Celti…

Other than what Ramez posted on this site that discusses the General funeral rite, I don't know of any of his works that are translated or being translated.

I think people are misunderstanding what I am saying. I am not advocating abandoning any church rules. Fasting on Wednesday and Friday have their roots in the Apostolic canons. We cannot individually abandon church rules out of our own will. But as …

Opadece, In Egypt, the whole country is following a haram/halal mentality. It's wrong. There is no logical way to reconcile a God who loves us and invites to eternal life through the Eucharist and then take it away if we don't follow some arbitrary,…
