  • If you actually want an answer to your questions, you'll need to do a better job of reading what I wrote. I closed that thread for many reasons:1. His original question was answered many times. He went past his original question and tried to argue t…
  • "Was anyone around for the Zeitoun event in Egypt? This is one of the most annoying parts of the the history of the faith to reconcile. There are 2 pictures (maybe more?) but that's it... Then there's this one film, I think it's called "Apparitions"…
  • There are other Christian forums that have code of conduct policies and they do not define "troll". The problem with making policies that have such detailed definitions is that there will always be people who will find loopholes to get around the ru…
  • "First of all, Christ would be tolerant, as he was tolerant to prostitute in the bible.Agree with basemwilliam.This kind of homophobia comes straight out of Egyptian culture and should be curbed..."The prostitute (and there were many) was NOT tolera…
  • Ibn Kabar's Lamp of Darkness was translated but only the first 4 chapters (out of 24).  Habib Girgis, I don't know much about but I'm sure there is more information in Bishop Surial's new book. St Shenouda the Archimandrite (unless you're talking ab…
  • Ophadece, I didn't say Mar is a proper Arabic word. Its etymology is Syriac, not Coptic. Why else would we say Marta Mariam? St Mary was not a martyr. When I said the Orthodox use the title "Theotokos Mary", I had in mind the Eastern Orthodox mostly…
  • No. We definitely say St Shenouda the Archimandrite. We don't say St Constantine because his sainthood is debated. Technically, if Constantine is canonized in the Coptic Church, then we must say St. Constantine. But keep in mind, the use of "Saint" …
  • "In fact, a century and a half ago, people who join Roman Catholics tended to also think EOs were "primitive" and "simple" and "backwards" compared to the explosion of Western literature, especially in the Latin Church. The EOs later improved and n…
  • Why would you go on another site to ask the protocols of another forum? Even if we knew the answer, it means nothing since we have no control of what they do at oc.net. Contact them directly.
  • Matthewgundy, if you're asking if Piehmot ghar during Great Lent conforms to liturgical rites, you received the affirmative answer. If, on the other hand, you are asking if Piehmot ghar SHOULD be said during Great Lent, well that is different questi…
  • All that being said, remenkimi has by far the worst typed up coptic text ever. it's not reliable, it needs to be reviewed and compared with actual printed sources. Considering that i been working on text for sometime, not as much as Remnkemi of cour…
  • But the Third Hoos is not taken wholly from the Bible. Daniel 3:44 in the Greek Septugaint says "O you winter and summer, bless the Lord, praise and exalt Him above all". This is not found in the Third Hoos at all.  In addition, BN68 has a bilingual…
  • I am not studying Arabic at all. Even if duplication is an Arabic metaphorical characteristic, it is irrelevant. We see it in our Coptic hymns. Unless you want to argue that all of our Coptic hymns where duplication occurs is a by product of Arabic …
  • "If people can keep tempo by a head chanter with a microphone"Now that made me laugh. People have completely lost the power of listening to each other, especially musically. Microphones don't keep tempo. Microphones only promote competition and more…
  • Theologically speaking, if cymbals are a sign of joy, they should be played during Holy Week. Thok te tigom is a biblical expression found in Revelation that speaks of Christ's divinity and humanity, as well as salvific acts. It is not associated wi…
  • " She was refused Christ's audience on account of her disbelieve and lack of obedience to God. Who can deny this? So how then was/is she perfect?" What does "She was refused Christ's audience on account of her disbelieve and lack of obedience to God…
  • Then of course, there is also the question of pragmatics. If the Greek and Coptic patriarchates of Alexandria merge, who steps down? Do Greeks get confirmation by Copts or vice versa, or do we need rebaptism?  Do we create a hybrid patriarchate wher…
  • Why are you arguing over these things? If you want to say every day, it would be `ehoou niben.  Syntatically, that means "all day" but it is more understood as "every day". This also occurs with "all times" - which in Coptic is cop niben - which is …
  • I was going to say the same thing as minasoliman. It happens in communion in nearly all churches, with or without a diocese, in "mission churches" or whatever the opposite of that is. There are songs that are commonly sung in Coptic Church liturgies…
  • My apologies Pionkh.  Forgive me.
