Dear LordHaveMercyOnMe, First of all I work as a psychiatrist so there are things I can't say here to you. You may pm me if you like. The important thing though is that you have to tell your psychologist and a priest, and it doesn't make a differenc…

Dear happyjoy, Please use a capital g for the word God. Only He will be able to answer you. I don't think any body here will be able to give you any mature advice or information except the lady herself. You should just be prepared to find many cultu…

Haha.. mabsoota your knowledge of Arabic is amazing, have you studied it or something? May I ask where do you live now then? Oujai

Thanks dear mabsoota, exactly the same here and even more. I hope we meet again soon, will let you know whenever I go to the Midlands assuming you still work there, and you tell me also if at any time you plan on coming to the north east.. Oujai

Thanks mabsoota. Hehe.. you're more than capable of giving the addresses yourself, better than me.. hehe There you go Pano5, First church: St. Mary and Archangel Michael's Coptic Orthodox Cathedral Caldwell Grove, Solihull second one: St. Mary and …

What is creation? Could it be another term for evolution? Why not? Oujai

Dear Bishoy.Adel, What is life? Life has no meaning and is worth nothing. Be sure that God takes people at their best ever chance possible. What He sees no man can. The more important thing is eternal life, even if some people die younger than you. …
-
Dear Bishoy.Adel, Please refer to God with a capital g, otherwise the word god describes any man-made idol. Secondly use the church, hymns, deaconate as means to an end, not the end in itself. That is to say do these things for God and in order to g…

Yes as geomike said only during church services and prayers. As for nuns they are devoted to Christ and so the whole world becomes their service because they are called by God to serve in the world, so in a way their life is a continuous prayer. How…

Dthoxasi, I really do believe that Europeans are more in tune with principles of democracy and dare I say anthropology more than religion, whether he's muslim or Christian. I also met Christian colleagues who share your friend's viewpoint.. Oujai

Thanks for the clarification dthoxasi Oujai

Dear superman, The difference between crusades and islam, is that the former was done for political reasons and words of the Bible misinterpreted to accommodate such goals. They happened only in one era as far as I know, not on the scale of islam wh…

Dear RamezM, I also PMed you for a copy please too.. oujai

Egyptian Arabic is the most understandable amongst the Arabic speaking countries.. that's one of the easier words, and there are other slang words that could be much more difficult to understand.. makes sense? oujai
-
Mabsoota is the feminine of mabsoot, colloquial for happy, not a formal Arabic word, as it refers to relaxing the muscles of the face "Yembeset" not formal, only slang.. baseet on the other hand is both formal and slang meaning simple.. yes the root…

Ekhrestos anesty yes it's the same rule but there is no "p" in proper Coptic pronunciation.. oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty dear Copticandproud, I'm not sure I'm the best one to answer that question as I'm not so much evidence based.. I might be wrong but I may have read that in the demotic language that's the way it was, so Copts carried the same princi…

Ekhrestos anesty what both remenkimi and Ramez say agrees with the teachings I was taught.. ton sina, tolitho and whatever else were added in the days of pope Kirollos IV, although remenkimi says there aren't manuscripts to prove otherwise, and righ…

Thanks baladoos, please keep us in your prayers always too, so that we pray for each other.. oujai

Dear baladoos, You're someone I respect so much and I pray that what I'm going to say now is really gonna help you through the Holy Spirit, so please you too pray.. my personal opinion is this, a bit psychologically, your fiancee didn't open up bef…

Ekhrestos anesty dear remenkimi, I'm not attacking you at all I'm commenting.. I think sometimes in the heat of the debate we forget what its purpose is all about in the first place.. I still hope you consider me a brother.. I am aware of your stati…
-
Ekhrestos anesty dear remenkimi, some of the things you say now do really contradict what you said before, and sometimes you mention two contradictory statements in the same post. I will offer my personal effort in translating Erian later but I need…

Thanks for such a brilliant insight and enlightenment dear RamezM. Very well explained; thanks Oujai qen `P[C

Yes drewhalim you are right. I believe I was talking more about the "altar-related" stuff, e.g. censor hands, Communion, etc... Oujai qen `P[C

Dear Remenkimi, Sorry to say this, but it appears to me now that you are clutching at straws. In the vigorous attempt to defend your changed position, you have started to quote things that are non-scientific, and that is really "unlike" you. As I st…

I think because of two factors: first, we don't use even numbers in our practice, and second: to resemble the Trinity and the One God. Oujai
