  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10649.msg129933#msg129933 date=1297085506] There is a danger in being overly picky. But there is also wisdom in being careful. In fact this particular Dominican blessing is a very modern version that it seems t…

  • Hehe. I was headed in that direction too! Until I finally made the decision to study history (which is my passion ^^) instead (L)
  • ok. I'm totally prepared to go ask them, and then go look up the info myself.
  • I'm sorry, I'm not trying to say that you don't know what you are talking about. But we JUST had this bible study a few months ago. I'm just saying what my servants taught me, and they get their info from the writings of the fathers. I don't know …
  • *sigh* will you PLEASE read the verse in context?? I'm not saying that you're wrong about this being a sin, you're just supporting it with the wrong verse! The bible says: 8 And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and r…
  • um...say again?

  • Well, I'm not saying its not a sin. I'm just telling you what I learned in bible study. abouna anthony says that anything that gives you sexual satisfaction outside a marriage relationship is wrong. The verses he talked about were from the new testa…

  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10626.msg129879#msg129879 date=1297034857] Concerning the Reuters video, I didn't say anything about Copts participating. I just said that it didn't look at all like a liturgy was being performed. And the use of…

  • does anyone have any? I would love to read about that stuff!
  • Here's the link where they mention the rafah bombings. They're comparing to an attempted mosque bombing. If you ask me, they're just trying to pretend thats its not just christians getting their worship places attacked. What else do we expect from e…
  • I just don't buy it. The moment the aims are achieved, they are going to be against us again. This solidarity is just a sham.
  • [quote author=jydeacon link=topic=10644.msg129748#msg129748 date=1296928577] The tune for golgotha was used at the burial of pharaohs [/quote] Really?? thats soo cool! I love that hymn. What about other really slow holy week hymns?
  • [quote author=Stavro link=topic=10572.msg129102#msg129102 date=1296494559] Dear All, allow me to build on some of your arguments and offer a somewhat alternative political view. The next president of Egypt needs to be a friend of the United State…
  • does anyone know roughly what percentage of our hymns are Pharonic-based? What about Golgatha?
  • My arabic literacy skills are rusty. What's it say?
  • Isaiah 19:22 And the LORD will strike Egypt, He will strike and heal it; they will return to the LORD, and He will be entreated by them and heal them.
  • I'm sorry, but will you please try and remember that we are CHRISTIANS? We can't do anything without Christ. and for goodness sake, just because both muslims and christians don't like that mubarak has robbed Egypt, doesn't mean we're united! thats …

  • Guys, baba Shenouda's responsibility is the church. He cares about the Church and her interests. Mubarak is leaving, and he can't go back now that he's announced it to the whole world. What's in the church's interest now, is a peaceful transition of…
  • I think pek ethronos is one, isn't it?
  • Haha. If my family is any indication, and I have family all over egypt, copts are staying home for the most part. HH from the beginning said that he'd prefer it if we just stay out of this messy situation. Copts just talk, I don't think too many are…
  • hey marmar. it depends on where you are. If you are in the US, then your bishops have called a three day fast. If you're in Canada, we're doing fasts on a church by church basis, since we don't have a bishop. If you heard about a fast, its likely th…
