  • Noooooooooooo @minatasgeel I am disappointed.. You have not read my response? I thought you had known about the feast of Resurrection when you have read my response! But still you were encouraging me all along.. Thanks for the encouragement man, I b…
  • @mabsoota - sorry I thought you were still talking about Margate, so I take it that you have moved to the London diocese ; which church? Croydon? Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • @Amoussa01 amen Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • Dear @Amoussa01, Thank you very much for reminding me that I thought I understand better than other people. Please pray for me that God give me humility and calm, because as you may have rightly inferred, nervousness got the better of me.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉ…
  • @Amoussa01 You probably are not aware of what people are saying.. In fact I was not referring to you at all but I fail to understand how you think the celebration ought to be on the 25th of December and not drop 13 days? Are you thinking of the Nati…
  • Wow @mabsoota I too envy you.. Very well done.. Was it your idea? Joseph, Dr Hany and Sophie's, Karim and Diana's, Sermad and his family, or Fr Angelos? Very well done.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • I call that humility Mr. @Amoussa01 - God bless you. OK, I will try to be brief because as someone whose English is not the first language, and also who has some problems in simplifying matters I am aware that you may get lost, so please let me know…
  • Dear @Amoussa01 - I still stand by my comment earlier that you are a very well learned person more than I am and that is not a false statement or sarcasm by any means. Please just research the matter and you will find that it is as clear as day.. Ⲟⲩ…
  • Thanks Mr @Zoxsasi, basically I am appraising some points in Fr Youhanna Nassif's video. Tell me which points you feel lost in.. I am sorry that I did not have time to record in English but I hope one day I get to translate it into English.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧ…
  • I really am beyond grateful and I certainly don't deserve all that respect you give me.. Thank you very much dear @Jojo_Hanna and please keep me and my family in your prayers always.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • Dear @Amoussa01 I believe it was you who drew my attention to my lack of humility before.. You were right, I know my weaknesses. As for blasphemy I never used that word so I don't know why you keep repeating it. I may have already (or may have forg…
  • Dear @Amoussa01, I am not sure if you are encouraging me to blindly follow others as a blind sheep. I am sorry I can't. I only came to learn the value of patristic legacies when I started reading about them. I said before that the Holy Spirit does n…
  • Yes I did, and I am just doing the final revision. I actually have recorded new videos to critically appraise the material in his videos.. I hope I can publish them by the weekend.. Thanks @Jojo_Hanna for your encouragement.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • @minatasgeel, well said dear Mina.. Don't worry about agreeing with me, I respect you and your opinion even if you disagree with me on some things.. Your prayers please Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • Dear @Amoussa01, The date of the feast is an integral part of valuing patristics. I am not putting anything on par with another just for the sake of it. It seems to me that you don't know the history of how or who or even why those dates were put in…
  • @drewhalim, I completely agree with you.. @Amoussa01, I can see that you have not read any of my work. There are 3 pillars to Orthodoxy, one of which is patristics. Indeed, the Holy Spirit does not prevent temptations, it is well documented in histo…
  • I don't know if you can read Arabic @Jojo_Hanna and if the book was indeed translated. It is called اللآلئ النفيسة في شرح طقوس الكنيسة, "ellaale' elnafeesa fy sharh toqoos elkneesa" (something along the lines of "the precious pearls in the explanati…
  • Thanks @drewhalim, I have nothing to add because you covered everything thoroughly. God will certainly deal with me heavily in my stance against the church figures but I strongly believe that no one is infallible and such figures ought to be role ex…
  • No @PharaohNashed, exceptions to the rule aren't to be cited as reasons to delete the legacies and heritages. It is exactly the same as people quoting God talk about David and eating from the altar besides all the clichéd statements of sabbath was c…
  • Dear @PharaohNashed, I respectfully disagree. It is not anyone's right in the church to change what is steadfast and fixed by the forefathers, otherwise why don't they allow fish in the Great Lent, or Wednesday and Friday? I assume we are talking ab…
  • No comment Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • Thank you all for your lovely replies.. You make me live again.. :-) @minatasgeel I thought the Greek Church in America follow the Gregorian calendar, do they not? @ItalianCoptic very nice to hear from you those thoughts and not only that but also …
  • I am glad to have heard Coptic bishops in the UK and the USA opposed to that idea.. God bless His Bride and keep Her safe in this ugly world Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • That is a rumour I heard and I am checking if anyone else might have heard anything Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • Agreed @Jojo_Hanna Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • Thanks @Jojo_Hanna, that's what I meant. Some cantors don't understand Coptic or indeed know the difference between any dialects but even in the fabricated Greco-Bohairic dialect it would still be Abel.. Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • Who is Avel? Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • Well said Mr @minatasgeel Ⲟⲩϫⲁⲓ ϧⲉⲛ Ⲡϭⲥ
  • Hi @Jojo-Hanna,I thought I was clearer but it seems that I have confused you so much. doxaci o :eoc ymwn is sometimes used for psalms when they are sung in tune, like psalm 116 in the beginning of vespers praises, and big hoses used in different rit…
  • @Jojo_Hanna, Apparently each psalm in the book of psalms had a tune.. Those were lost. I can't remember the name of the book or the author. It was online and in Arabic and most probably revolved around ajbeya prayers. Actual stance - what do you m…
