  • Hey guys, sorry to resurrect this thread. I just recently was asked for a recording of Abouna Athanasius Ragheb's liturgy and I realized that I lost the recording I got from this thread. If anybody has one please let me know. Thank you :)
  • If you scroll to around the 18 minute mark, you can hear him disprove his own point about baptism. He believes that it is unnecessary to be immersed in water and the you must only believe to be saved.  Even after John 3 told him you must be born aga…
  • Thank you Remnkemi, your kind words are much appreciated. Hopefully this program will serve to immensely lower the barrier to learning hymns. Hymns are such a beautiful part of our church, and those who are eager to learn them but were not able to p…
  • Hey all. I would like to first and foremost thank gergesezzat for creating such beautiful software to make learning hymns from audio files much easier. When I was growing up I used it extensively and through it I learned a plethora of hymns that I c…
  • This forum system is horrible as compared to smf. I hope you realized that smf had a mobile plugin that makes it mobile friendly too.
  • [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=14638.msg166192#msg166192 date=1381132956] hi, what i mean is that all of our faith has a clear explanation, and we should keep asking till we get answers; the answers are definitely there. if there are some hymns t…
  • [quote author=dthoxsasiPhilanethrope link=topic=14638.msg166113#msg166113 date=1380556447] Thanks to Saint Mary, we had our salvation. What if she said "No" ? Because she said "Yes" - Christ was born, He came and not just saved us, but redeemed us …
  • I once heard a sermon by a priest saying that he has no idea what they mean and he hasn't yet met a person who knows what they mean.
  • [quote author=✞ GoDsAvEdME ✞ link=topic=14626.msg166074#msg166074 date=1380120645] can someone post the link to it please? [/quote] http://tsp.suscopts.org/
  • Where exactly is the school? I can't find it on their page.
  • [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=14615.msg165953#msg165953 date=1379186933] missed you too! i like these hymns: http://www.youtube.com/user/Learncoptichymns i have nearly learnt 2 of them  :) God bless u too. [/quote] Welcome back Mary! Mabsoota!…
  • Hey LordHaveMercyOnMe, I'm sorry to hear you're frustrated. Please go talk to your priest as soon as you can, you really need to get this issue out there. Trust me, priests have heard everything, they aren't shocked or surprised by anything you tell…

  • [quote author=ReturnOrthodoxy link=topic=14588.msg165761#msg165761 date=1377479444] I smell fish guts. Ray [/quote] Care to elaborate on what you mean Ray?
  • Ya St. Paul is talking about women having their head covered during church services. Nuns are a different thing not referring to this verse, it's just like how monks cover their heads all the time.
  • [quote author=CopticCorner link=topic=14581.msg165713#msg165713 date=1377160515] No, it was not a DDoS attack. The website's front page had an Islamic Banner on it. Hence, somehow the index.html or an alias to it, was changed. Perhaps they are u…
  • I don't think they used ftp, it was probably a DDos or they might have used SQL Injection. As a software developer you probably already know that these aren't difficult to do and there are many tutorials showing you how to do it so even somebody wit…
  • [quote author=mikeforjesus link=topic=14577.msg165678#msg165678 date=1376956625] Wasn't this the reason why orthodox split from catholic because they just took pleasure in allowing Islam to dominate ? these are sins that need to be repented of and …
  • [quote author=✞SuperMAN✞(BAM)✞ link=topic=14562.msg165587#msg165587 date=1375907821] my beloved geomike, there is nothing more beautiful than Jesus, but as a person who represents the Christ, we have to show the beauty of Jesus through our speech, o…
  • The threadstarter has not responded back to any of the numerous responses provided here. I think we have provided more than enough info here. He/she either is really busy and therefore didn't respond to these posts or he/she made this thread with th…
  • Some churches have a bucket of sand that they just dump the charcoal and remnants of it in. In my church we just dump it right outside on the wet dirt area
  • [quote author=rebecca.ann link=topic=14562.msg165531#msg165531 date=1375678223] geomike's right, the general consensus is to pray for Muslims. However it is pretty hard for the oppressed to like/enjoy/be nice to their oppressor.... perhaps more peop…
  • The Coptic Church prays for all Muslims. We are told to love one another and our church's viewpoint hasn't changed since the beginning. Even after the over 70 violent events committed against us by Muslims since 1960, such as putting a bomb in a c…
  • [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=14559.msg165522#msg165522 date=1375602928] hi, welcome! i am also on the other forum. we get more bots here (spammers) so don't be surprised if you see some weird comment in bad english with advertising signature ab…
  • [quote author=rebecca.ann link=topic=14559.msg165519#msg165519 date=1375494922] Thanks geomike and nice meeting you too :) It has been hard because I lost most all of my friends and social circle, but my actual family is pretty pleased since they a…
  • [quote author=rebecca.ann link=topic=14559.msg165512#msg165512 date=1375423916] I have not officially been re-baptized yet :) Anyway, as weird as is sounds, probably my Muslim years. Islam took so much from the early/Orthodox Church, and I was igno…
  • Whoa, that's such a cool story. Just out of curiosity, what caused you to convert to Orthodoxy other than your spouse being Orthodox?
  • This is something the admins can take care of very easily. There is an option that prohibits a user from changing his username
  • [quote author=George_Mina link=topic=14524.msg165359#msg165359 date=1373072978] I thought I was hopeless to learn, but these videos helped me a lot (although I still have a long way to go). I found basic method 2 to be a lot easier. What I did was f…
