Dear @ItalianCoptic, I believe that going to church protects anyone from being infected because it is God's house. However if He wills for me to be infected and infect others inside His house, then that is His will. We should not stop going to churc…

@Zoxsasi I am OK thank God and thank you very much for asking.. I am just disappointed about what is happening. First time I am seeing evidence of disbelief and impiety (I think that is how it spells, for the sake of avoiding saying ungodliness or a…
-
That is very true @Zoxsasi and that is why I would expect that my wife, brother, son, or parents to not mind me staying in God's house with them - but should this be the attitude of the rest of the congregation? Oops, actually it should, but I will …

@Zoxsasi, Difficult for me to answer, but I would rather go to God's house and be infected there (or rather die there). Should this be the hierarchical view? I don't know, they are in a difficult position but I think they should.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

@Zoxsasi and @minatasgeel please let's agree to disagree. I am someone with odd ideas. The church was wrong to comply with the government decision to close Sunday schools on the day of the opening match of the African Cup. The church was wrong to s…

Very well said @mabsoota.. I disagree with @minatasgeel's comment that the church ought to be concerned with our physical lives. Her primary aim is not to be of this world, however you would like to interpret my statement.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
-
@mabsoota, I can't agree more. I think @minatasgeel and @Daniel_Kyrillos have already touched upon this but as you rightly say the translation in a wide variety of hymns and melodies is poor. I don't know about French, Italian or the other languages…

Thanks @Daniel_Kyrillos and no comment Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

The hymn is not old Bohairic it is Sa'idic mixed with other dialects of Coptic on a smaller sense, hence it was a challenge for anyone to attempt to translate it, especially that Sa'idic as a dialect ceased to be in use in the early century teens an…

@Daniel_Kyrillos This is Fr Shenouda Maher's version of ⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲓⲥⲧⲏⲛ, I believe I came across it a while ago but I can't remember how it goes in terms of the tune.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Wow, amazing @penanko.. Great work.. Thanks a million Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Yes @mrcreed, @minatasgeel is right, it is really really very long. I will take his advice in the next project.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Thanks a million @minatasgeel Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Aha I didn't know that.. Can I ask who that priest is, or if you can provide me with the link? Thanks in advance Mr @minatasgeel Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Dear @minatasgeel, Please let me comment on something that you said: "anyone who thinks that unifying the dates of feasts would bring on unity in faith in general is greatly mistaken. It would only be a very superficial move to cover all the disagre…
-
@Marenhoos_erof Sorry, with all due respect bishop Youannis makes a grave mistake. If the first day of Theophany falls on a Wednesday or a Friday then that is a different matter, but not the second or third day. This is the case with the 29th of Kia…
-
@ItalianCoptic I am so blessed and honoured to have known someone like yourself. I said it before and I will say it again, I had a great pleasure knowing you were a person with Italian roots, married to a Copt, living in America and nominated for pr…

Thanks a lot dear @minatasgeel.. I will definitely take your advice.. Your prayers always for us please.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

@Jojo_Hanna Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.. I need your prayers always @minatasgeel You are absolutely right.. I will take your advice and do that as I am actually preparing to do some more detailed videos.. Please give me your o…

I asked this question a few years ago and got no answer. Sorry I can't help but I assume there isn't.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Thanks @Jojo_Hanna for your confidence in me, but I have no idea about this subject! Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Dear @Marenhoos_erof would you mind alerting the moderators of that website to this typo: "If the Nativity Feast falls on a Sunday, we would have a two-day Paramon, Saturday and Sunday." It should be Friday and Saturday. Dear @mabsoota as @Marenhoos…
-
Absolutely right @mabsoota.. However, for the feast of Theophany the strict first degree fasting starts on Friday the 17th.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

I hope you prayed for me and my family there dear @mabsoota Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Thank you @thoktetegom, that's only my interpretation. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
-
Good point @thoktetegom, but I guess the way I look at it at least is that they are after both the Old Testament and the New Testament, that is in eternal life. Let's not forget that midnight chants and bright Saturday where those lobshes are chante…

There is no lust between a man and his woman. That is the whole point of the Book of Song of Songs Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ

Here is my tuppence but I am sure someone more well learned can shed better light on this. Now those two lobshes are not like the commemoration of saints, and like the respective hoses they link the Old Testament to the New Testament so it follows t…

@minatasgeel, you are absolutely right, it is too long. If you do get the time one day please do read it, your opinion matters to me a great deal beyond belief and you will see for yourself the potential catastrophic results a change in the feast of…
