My brother made this video. He got it from one of my old tasbeha recordings that a friend had lent to me from the church of St. Mary and St. Athanasius Church in Missisuaga Canada back in 2004. The deacons are members of the HCOC choir.
God bless
If Pekethronos has influence from lebanon, then you are claiming that other hymns do too since the hymn consists of many other familiar tunes such as:
1. Owo nai nem
2. Tenen or evol hiten long
3. gregorian long amen
I do not think you guys full understood my question. I am not confused thinking that Christ deified the flesh. Where the confusion lies is, how can someone say God enters into everything and then have this point justify the argument that He can ente…

You guys need to be cautious in the way you write things. Bottom line: saints do not save us but rather intercede.

Fasting and prayer means we're submitting our will to God's will, making them both one.

I do not think there is a contradiction. His Grace was not implying that we have a corrupt nature but a corruptible one--that is what he means by the consequences of the fall of Adam. The use of the term original sin is loosely thrown out there and …

whats wrong with deification or theosis? Both terms mean becoming like God...and even when St. Athanasius says "God became man so that mad can become gods" it didn't mean w…
Peace,
I understand where you are coming from. In order for you to hate your sin, you must understand the effect of your sin. You need to understand what the outcomes are of committing the sin.
1. Death
2. Slavery
3. Wasted time
4. Indulgence
5. …

St. John Cassian on Fasting:
“I shall speak first about control of the stomach, the opposite of gluttony, and about how to fast and what and how much to eat. I shall say nothing on my own account, but only what I have received from the Holy Fathers…
"And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry. And the tempter came to him" (Matt. 4:2, 3).
Divine inspiration in this Gospel text throws into bold relief the relationship between human instincs and temptation: "He was h…
Mina,
You said "you can say" psalm 150 and the conclusion. Are you implying that it is optional to choose between the Lent or Annual rite? Is that what the book specifically states?

By the way, to say that Christ had an immortal human nature is to say He could not die in the flesh which is heresy. The curse of sin is death. Christ bore all …
Imikhail
Are you implying that Christ's humanity was immortal? If not then He must have had the fallen nature. When you say our nature became corrupted with sin then you are dead wrong. If you say that our nature became corruptible by sin then you…
Imikhail,
When you say corruption, you seem to be implying our nature in it of itself is sinful--this is not true, nor is it orthodox. It is not perverted with sin. Christ took our nature, but committed no sin since He is God. To say that He had a…
Thank you TTL for the post.
There problem here, I believe, lies in the semantics. Both of you seem to have a different connotation with regards to the word "corruption."
imikhail--you seem to imply that "corruption" is inherited because of sin. H…
Remnkemi,
I have benefited from your numerous posts due to your knowledge in Coptic, and more importantly, our Orthodox faith. Please continue to enlighten us with these "hidden gems."
