I read the Arabic text that allegedly was written by 'The Islamic Iraqi State' which is a group linked to Al Qaeda, who claim the recent massacre in the Syrian Catholic Church in Baghdad. It states that we are kaffara (infidels) and that if the wo…

Dear John your apology is appreciated and accepted. I wish to clarify, I too have been angered by what has been happening in Egypt lately concerning the Church and HH. It reminds me of the time when HH cried during one of his meetings with the pe…

Dear CopticStrength I was referring to the person who answered the question on the site you mentioned (didn't know if it was a she or he), not you, you shouldn't doubt your linguistic abilities so much, I did understand that it wasn't you who answe…

Dear John, firstly, I never said anything about HH Pope Shenouda III or the Coptic Orthodox Church as such, I have said that there is hatred and extremism within the Christian Egyptian community (although one could ask the question: how 'christian' …

(S)He forgets to mention that death does not separate the members of the church, in the sence that we still have contact with the spirits of the deceased saints, whom we ask for prayers and who sometimes can directly talk and interact with us.. they…

it's a sad fact, but: with the high percentage of analphabetism (note that education is mostly terrible, so even those who are not counted as analphebts, aren't necessarily educated either//) with the incredible amount of religious extremism (both i…

I believe it was (St.) Augustine who said that kneeling to the ground meant admitting we sinned and (literally) fell, and asking for forgiveness, when we get up, it symbolizes God's mercy for He raises us from our old ways of death so while we get u…

I understand and agree with Joseph's point. It seems only fitting to address God in a way that is more formal than what we use in our every-day language. In fact, as much as some would want the language in the services to be more modern and up to da…

Any book on the life of the late reverend Father Bishoy Kamel would be very encouraging. He was an extraordinary man who lived a life pleasing to His Lord, and it shows in his influence on others and the good scent that his life spread to the people…

[quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=9788.msg119981#msg119981 date=1285789596] It's not a joke. She has slowly allowed for infiltration of discouraging and depraved ideas as being acceptable. [/quote] Could you please give an example of that? …

[quote author=George_Mina_Awad link=topic=9459.msg118651#msg118651 date=1282877132] [/quote] You're really splitting hairs here. Egypt does not have the same racial mixture it did prior to the Muslim invasion. It is an Arab country. And with the e…

'We' haven't just adapted 'their' culture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is no we and they, there is us... the Egyptian culture is unique as it is the mix of different cultures and it always was, Egypt has been like this long before Islam even exist…

Father Peter, I add myself to the list of people very pleased that you are writing a book about this subject and looking forward to reading it, may God guide you... for I too until recently always had the idea that we inherit the sin of Adam (alt…

flobi, just a couple of simple questions: you must believe in the devil, a roaring lion seeking lambs to devour... I wonder, when you read the Bible on your own, how do you know that your interpretation is indeed the correct one? How do you know…

My last post brought me to another important question: our nature after the fall is weakened by having lost the Grace of God that Adam and Eve used to enjoy, but other than that, as I understand the teachings of our church, nothing else changed in …

I'm sorry if I keep going on about this, but I hope to be fully convinced.. you use the example of nations apologizing for what their predecessors did, something that I always found completely absurd. I do understand somewhat where poeple are coming…

Thank you father, but in the liturgy we pray: (not literally quoted) You created us and gave us all things but we disobeyed you etc etc. (Liturgy of St. Basil: Holy, Holy, Holy, truly O Lord, our God, Who formed us, created us and placed us in th…

Don't forget that on MANY occasions our Pope has cited verses from the Quran.. now, evidently he doens't believe the Quran to be an authoritive source, yet when speaking to Muslims, he uses what they consider to be the word of God.. (which somehow …

Question: We are taught that we do not inherit Adam's sin, yet we do suffer the consequences of his sin, the loss of Grace... But WHY do we suffer the consequences of his in? Why can't every human choose for themselves to separate themselves from…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=9489.msg117004#msg117004 date=1279980048] Arabic is a horrible language too. Anyone remember the whole cutting out the tongues of children for speaking OUR language? Do you remember reading about being forced by this…

the way I learned coptic was to get a piece of coptic that I already knew how to pronounce and then as I read try to match the letters with the sounds... I don't know if that works with arabic, but you can give it a try! btw, arabic is a beautiful l…

[quote author=geomike link=topic=9290.msg114844#msg114844 date=1275153340] but he isn't Coptic Orthodox, and sometimes it makes me mad when he lures people into becoming Protestant off our church. [/quote] Where did you get this information?

Maher Fayez is a great artist, his taraneem are used all over Egypt in Coptic Orthodox churches, he has 'a band' called El Karouz and performs all over the country (I know how this sounds to the Western ear, but it's not that bad lol)... I love his …
