[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=14448.msg164849#msg164849 date=1369794463] There is no sufficient evidence that Greek hymns were added within the last two centuries. There is only a lack of evidence that these hymns existed before the last two cen…

[quote author=PopeKyrillos link=topic=14452.msg164887#msg164887 date=1369951552] The church is not bound by any of the laws of the Old Testament, unless it chooses to uphold them. [/quote] How do we know which is which?

[quote author=Archdeacon link=topic=14428.msg164649#msg164649 date=1368902177] They are all the same pattern. Evsop from Kata Nikhoros and Afrek Etfe, Efnouti Nai Nan that the priest says, Agion Teero of Apekran Amoini Anav of Nikhora Ghar of T…

Ibrahim Ayad sometimes puts his signature on hymns.

I'm not sure i understand what you are trying to say. The fact that some rural churches used OB in various degrees doesn't mean OB was widely practiced. Reminkimi, you really need to read the sources I cited you before making such a claim. Simpl…

The Coptic Church is indeed in communion with the Armenian Church and our saints book (Synexarium) mentions several Armenian saints. We mention St Gregory the Armenian in every liturgy. Welcome.

Clearly I have stated I am not fluent in Arabic. But I have a very good understanding of the history of Egypt. Incidentally, my arguments on Classical Arabic and MSA were based on evidence described in English from various writers. I do not need t…

[quote author=AntoniousNikolas link=topic=10538.msg164609#msg164609 date=1368633887] Ekhristos Anesti! Hello Brothers and Sisters, I just wanted to give you an update: we have not forgotten our project regarding this subject. We are working hard …

I do agree 100% with RamezM ... I want to add that sometimes we invent symbolism of the church rituals just because we do not know the reason the ritual and its origin. Unfortunately many of the modern writers on the rituals will go in detail of ex…

number 7 is a perfect number. Jericho, symbol of Satan and his armies, fell after 7 encirclings. God created His creation in 6 and resurrection will occur on the 7th day when everything will be anew. Hope this helps.

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=7582.msg164583#msg164583 date=1368553353] Don't take my comments out of context. imikhail specifically said "what Aryan did as to apply the Greek sounds to the Coptic alphabet is what I call invention". Well what t…

The point I was making is that at some point someone "standardized" Arabic. This standard form may or may not be different from Classical Arabic or Quranic Arabic or pre-Islamic Arabic. The whole point of standardizing something is to remove incons…

Are you saying that the Standard Arabic somehow changed the alphabetic sounds that the Classical Arabic used to have? I like you to point those differences out because I do not know of any. Yes there are differences. I will have to find reference…
-
It will be hard to find comparable rules between Classical Arabic/MSA and OB/GB because the difference in GB/OB is phonological only. But the principle can be extended to vocabulary, grammar, and linguistic usage. So if it is hard to find comparabl…
