  • [quote author=jfarag92 link=topic=10572.msg128768#msg128768 date=1296257863] the year (2011) divided by the day (25) it started plus the month (1) equals the approximate year mubarak was appointed 81.44(math year) 81.516 (actual year) thus, this is …
  • Nothing will change unless Mubarak is removed in totality.  I think he is full of it and just because he is dissolving the government you don't think he will replace them with more of his political puppets? The protests will need to continue in ord…
  • Since the graduate program I am in is International Security, we have been following the events in Egypt.  It is my understanding that thus far the Muslim Brotherhood has not been involved in the current "revolt".  Rather it has been a natural upris…
  • [quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10553.msg128342#msg128342 date=1296063666] Do you mean that all the churches you normally worship in have pews? It is normal practice for there NOT to be seats. In my own little Church we only have seats aroun…
  • TITL, Yes that is fine but could you also write it in Arabic script? Thank you very much!  ;D
  • [quote author=Servant of Jesus Christ link=topic=10241.msg126814#msg126814 date=1294727537] (Correct me if I am wrong) Honestly, I don't know what you meant by regenerate? Do you mean accept Christ as your personal God and Saviour? And yes, you are …
  • What is funny is that I browsed your other uploads and realized that I had viewed your baptism video before I was ever aware of tasbeha.org (there are few adult Coptic Baptisms online, mainly children, and so it was neat to see an adult being baptiz…
  • [quote author=Servant of Jesus Christ link=topic=10241.msg125262#msg125262 date=1293136428] (Correct me if I am wrong) Okay firstly, no one is good on their own anything we have whether it be a loving heart or any virtue is a blessing from God. In a…
  • Servant of Jesus Christ and George Mina Awad, Thank you both for taking the time to reply to my questions.  I am in agreement with the both of you.  Apart from the help of God, through the work and power of the Holy Spirit within us, we are unable …
  • [quote author=Servant of Jesus Christ link=topic=10242.msg125036#msg125036 date=1292910855] (Correct me if I am wrong) we inherited corruption and death, not the sin of Adam. We had to follow the law or else the curse of the law was upon us. Christ …
  • [quote author=Servant of Jesus Christ link=topic=10241.msg125037#msg125037 date=1292911222] (Correct me if I am wrong) If you meant regeneration as in being baptized than yes, because we still have to die by the death and corruption we inherited fro…
  • [quote author=anba bola link=topic=276.msg124451#msg124451 date=1292298605] There are many Coptic sermons in English. For example orthodoxsermons.org has many. Furthermore CYC shows HH Pope Shenouda's Wednesday meetings with English captions (knowin…
  • Father Peter, I have only had time to listen t your homily on the Luke passage but I wanted to say that it was truly challenging and edifying. Remember me in your prayers.
  • [quote author=Pharaoh714 link=topic=9930.msg121602#msg121602 date=1288558743] [quote author=deaconwannaB link=topic=9930.msg121597#msg121597 date=1288550273] why did you change ur name to abu maqawma??? what does that even mean?? [/quote] Maqwma = …
  • You shouldn't be so harsh ilovesaintmark.  I understand your point, however there are candidates that have raised this issue and with Hosni Mubarak's age and health there could possibly be changes in the future. Changes can occur in Egypt either pe…
  • I think that the issue is three fold: 1) There is an overall disinclination towards religion, especially from younger generations.  They don't care what religion you belong to or care about religion in and of itself. 2) The Coptic Orthodox Church …
  • Not yet. I had to work last Sunday morning but I am hoping to go tomorrow morning :)
  • This is a prime example of demonic activity.  There is nothing Christian about these people; only the mockery of Christianity by Satan and the fallen angels. May God have mercy on them  :(
  • So is the Van Dyke translation of the Arabic Bible the standard amongst most Arabic readers? I have read that the translation produced by the Sharif Bible Society is easier to read and comprehend for those just beginning to learn Arabic. (http://w…
  • Let us pray for our dear brothers and sisters.
  • Thanks Maboosta and +iloveJesus! That is the type of information that I was looking for  :)
  • No one knows the teachings on the Sign of the Cross or resources where that information may be found?
  • [quote author=clay link=topic=8330.msg106263#msg106263 date=1252937056] Also I sometimes gaze around, and see the icons, and I feel the warmth of such a cloud of witnesses- and that they are praying for me, and that we are together as One Church wo…
  • [quote author=minagir link=topic=8330.msg106738#msg106738 date=1254783027] Unfortunately I did not get to meet with the priest, Abouna Misaeil, because I had a family gathering to attend and I was already late.  hehe.....you met Emmanuel among u…
  • [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=8330.msg106736#msg106736 date=1254773166] really great to hear your experience, justin  :) well done! ('mabrook' in arabic, you will probably pick up a few words if you want to or not!) the reason the bishop (i thin…
  • I finally had the opportunity to visit my local Coptic Orthodox Church.  It is not very local, about a little over an hours drive away, so I have to plan well in order to get there before the divine liturgy. Fortunately I got their right as Divine …
  • Along the same vein, can someone tell me the name of the head dress that these Coptic Orthodox priests are wearing? By the way this last picture is a picture of Abouna Misaeil, who is the Abouna of the Coptic Orthodox Church I am visiting …
  • I had to make a short trip out of town for work on Saturday and didn't get back home until well after midnight.  With the church being an hour away and starting at 8:45am I wouldn't have been very perceptive if I went since I didn't get home until l…
  • Abouna Abraham at Virgin Mary and Archangel Michael Coptic Orthodox Church of Connecticut has offered to send me a copy.  One thing I have learned from my brief interaction from Coptic Orthodox Christians is their kindness and generosity.  For someo…
