What I meant was, how do we know that the Bible is credible? How would I explain to a non-believer why I believe the Bible is the Word of God (without using the Bible itself, obviously). I would like those who wish to post an answer to have a good u…

back to the thread (!)
i need to make a small correction:
all saints day in the catholic and anglican churches is on november 1st.
the day before that is hallow(old …
Epchoice:
Have you even read Genesis? It explicitly mentions that God created man (Adam) and woman (Eve) and that there was a fall (death and spiritual). Where did you get the idea that there was a fall prior to man? It seems that you are treading …
Macro-evolution is against Christianity. The Bible clearly states that the fall was made after Adam and Eve committed sin. As such, there was no such thing as death prior to this incident. Since evolution requires that there be death, we can rule t…
There are many references in the Bible. I recommend that you read the Gospel according to Saint John. In the opening it says:
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning."

The whole point of going to church is so that we, the believers, can partake of our Lord Jesus Christ. However, in order to do this requires some work on our part. We must cleanse ourselves through repentance and confession so that we can allow Chri…
God is not a creation. We are creation. He is not; He is the Creator. He is eternal, meaning without beginning and end.
Atheism is false because of many reasons. One of them is that it foolishly suggests that creation would not have a creator. Ther…
I am assuming you are talking about the annual psalm 150 which is said in communion. If that is the case then below is one that is in the exact tune of the coptic:

Tamgeed is arabic for Glorification hymns. These types of hymns are typically chanted during communion (after Pi-oik) and also in certain occasions like St. Mary's feast/fast. Examples are O-Kirios, Dhevte Pandees, Rashi ne, Ekesmarout...and so on.

This is a very good question. I will try to answer you as best as I can. God is Omnipresent, meaning that He is everywhere all at the same time, However, evil is not a place; rather it is a state. You cannot say that a certain place in itself is evi…
I learned it in a couple days and did it by taking an online class here: http://copticheritage.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=Classes&file=index
Just go to the pascha section and you will find it.
hope it helps!
God bless
One can start by prayer. Our God is a personal being and for us to have a relationship with Him, we must be speaking with Him of course. No one is perfect, but we are called to be! That is why God has such a high standard for us, even though He know…
The hymn that you are referring to is the exposition or "tarh" for the feast of the resurrection. It is called "Chi-ou-oini," as is well known by man cantors. You can find this hymn here by mu3allem Farag: http://www.coptichymns.net/module-hymns-ca…
There is nothing contradictory about this verse and the idea of the Trinity. Here, Christ is synonomous with God and so the writer (St. Paul) was just interchanging both words. After all, he is not saying that there are two kingdoms, right? Of cours…
Actually, the version that I have of Zaher, he doesnt rakeb anything. The second verse has a unique tune and is not at all like the first verse. However, I am not sure of its validity. I like it though
