Dear @ItalianCoptic
Thank you for your response. It is certainly a wake up call for me and I need to read more into that subject. Everything above is too well educated for me..

Dear @ItalianCoptic,
First of all I hope your account is not hacked as this is the first time I see you posting comments with an aggressive undertone. I know exactly what you mean but the wording seems rather out of keeping with how I view you (of c…
Well said @Zoxsasi, I too believe moral relativism is wrong and I said that a number of times either in this forum or in my written work elsewhere. Unlike you though, the explanation is simple, it was not that it was OK for Adam's offspring due to t…
Dear @Jojo_Hanna,
The word pope is not Coptic..
Dear @copt333,
I agree with @George27 that the Coptic Orthodox Church has not split off. Secondly, he makes a very good point that you had fended off by saying that the rites are not exclusive to the…
I presume that the word pope is a recent invention but I am unsure of its history, possibly 19th century during the reign of Anba Cyril the 4th and his attempt to unite the Coptic Orthodox Church with the Greek one, but personally speaking I believe…
Dear @minasafwat,
I can't agree more with what you said but just for argument's sake some people would deem cantor Albair as both authorised and professional!
Secondly for me personally lost tunes are lost full stop. The Holy Spirit willed for them…
Is that what you meant @drewhalim? I agree with @minatasgeel about how improper it is to sing ya kol elsofoof anyway, but I am not sure about w nem nai, however, I know people will be upset if I say I agree with people doing the resurrection hymns f…

I agree with (and am learning from) @Daniel_Kyrillos, although I think tamageed and axios during the holy fifties are uncanonical..

Hi @ioannesAthanasius,
You are absolutely right.. Indeed it was more or less a canon in the church obligating Copts to take the time off to only focus on no one's interests or life but on Christ's passion during those days.. Yes our …

Crum is the definitive Coptic English dictionary and recently they made a desktop application called Marcion (with a parallel online version as well) that works like a Crum's dictionary search engine.. I hope this helps

Hi @Zoxsasi where have you been man? Look, to make it easier it is like this:
Humans = body + soul + spirit
Animals = body + soul
When humans die the spirit lives on. The spirit is a human spirit protected by God's spirit in us Christians, and not…
Thanks @minasafwat.. The interesting thing is that Albair and his choir sing the wrong text. That not only does it not make sense but also is completely jumbled up and reflects ignorance.. I am sure you don't want me to translate the words but I wil…
I never heard that hymn before. When is it supposed to be said? At the distribution? The text on this website is full of grammar and spelling mistakes, I wonder what is the source and history of the hymn?

Hi @georgemelek
The answer to the first question is yes, but I wonder if the original rite was for a litany before each Gospel! However the current practice is to sing the first psalm in a festive tune and the second one before the fourth Gospel in …
Dear @georgemelek,
The whole controversy about the Coptic Church's Greco-Bohairic pronunciation vs the more authentic one that very few hymns were recorded with. The problem with cantor Ibrahim and the cathedral chorus is that they keep inventing an…
Dear @theophilos,
Thank you very much for your reply.. I e-mailed the servants on the website my response, and I look forward to hearing their opinions..
