The gospel of Thomas is a gnostic gospel and is not considered divinely inspired. That goes for the gospel of judas and a few other writings that were found in coptic that are dated many years after the deaths of the apostles. So its not something y…

Think about it. Imagine you were non-existent(its hard but go with me). The feeling of love from your parents, would you trade that in for anything in the world? If you were never born you would not get to feel that kind of love. I hear this all the…

Ophadece, I completely understand where you are coming from. I however don't see how these madaya7 take away from the importance or something like that from communion. As far as running out of hymns, if you take lets say 10-15 min for psalm 150, an…

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=8994.msg112289#msg112289 date=1269380322] Nobody realizes that St Pope Kyrillos was vehemently opposed to ecumenism. I would expect Fr Peter to know this, being that he is well read, either that or just ignorant of t…

These are great! Thanks for sharing!
-
Very nice, you've got talent. May God bless you and use you for the Glory of His name.

Ophadece, I'm not sure how recent either hymns were developed. I'm not so sure that these things were simply added because they wanted to take away the coptic or were not mindful about it. That may be the case but I think the growing population is …

We are in a world of pain and suffering because of our own fault. Not because this is what He wants. God wants peace and happiness and joy for us, but we must endure suffering. Like I said, Gods foreknowledge will not interfere with the free will He…

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=8964.msg112150#msg112150 date=1269077599] Secondly, both you and jydeacon: please shed some light on how "ya meem reh yeh meem" was influenced by Arabic music? My understanding is that the tunes developed late in Eg…

[quote author=Marmoura99 link=topic=8978.msg112172#msg112172 date=1269115066] Thanks jydeacon! I still don't understand the part about the Tree of Life though. They didn't have to sin, but God already knew that they were... [/quote] Gods foreknowle…

[quote author=epchois_nai_nan link=topic=8964.msg112135#msg112135 date=1269048041] jydeacon, do you know of a Lamentations done Abouna Mettias? [/quote] Yeah, how Abouna Mettias does it, in my opinion is the most beautiful way I've heard it done.…

By saying US God is refering to the Trinity. Not just the Holy Spirit as there are 3 persons. He created the tree of life so that they would be immortal, He knew they would sin but that doesn't mean that they HAD to sin. If they had eaten of the tre…

It had to have been his sister. Obviously adam and eve would have had more children. And at that point God would have had to allow this to happen to further the race

Something I have heard(not necessarily sound doctrine) was that, They took 7 clean animals so that they could be able to sacrifice from those while leaving enough to procreate. As for unclean two was sufficient to procreate obviously. The second ver…

Not a problem, if you don't have them already installed and the coptic looks weird than yeah you need to install them.
-
They are the same as the feast of the cross that follows right after Nayrouz. Tune is sha3neeni, procession is same as palm sunday but with different refrain, Tishori will be said as it overrides the day of lent. After Tishori, fai etafenf follows t…
-
This tune is very interesting..but i do not think it is truly of some coptic origin. This sounds similar to how Muslims read/sing from their books.

[quote author=davidawad94 link=topic=8960.msg112014#msg112014 date=1268867815] Is the British Orthodox part of the oriental orthodox churches? [/quote] Yes they are a daughter church of the COC, Zoxasi, here you go: http://tasbeha.org/media/inde…
-
Yeah they are pretty legit.
-
As far as what "ok" and such is allowed I don't know, but I do know that if its considered in a way "selfish" then its not allowed, and contraceptions are in fact allowed in the church. They do not believe that it makes sense that a family should be…

Check amazon.com as well they might have it for less?

The tunes for the most part in our church, are coptic/pharaonic, However some hymns are both greek in words and in tunes. Eparthenos, Ton sina, Tolitho to name a few.
-
www.orthodoxbookstore.org is the only place i know of that sells it, check your church bookstore it maybe there you never now. If not I know they(orthodox bookstore) have it as that is where i myself got it.

The book "so you want to learn Coptic" is a great start. After that it is mostly something you have to work on with liturgical texts which will give you a much better understanding than you would think, understanding something in it's original langu…

lol look on here, there are recordings from Deir el souryan and deir el baramous
-
Epchois_nai_nan, I am amazed at your knowledge, do you have a specific source besides Abouna Shenouda Maher? I have been looking into these difference but have not found much. On a side note, I have a recording with people using Old Bohairic durin…

LionessofGod and sodr, take it easy, I don't understand what is going on with this forum, you guys need to just swallow your pride. So what if he called you 15? Is it that big of a deal if people think you are younger than you are if you say it make…

[quote author=peterfarrington link=topic=8912.msg111591#msg111591 date=1267817579] Are the dialects as different as English and American, or more distantly related like Dutch and German? Father Peter [/quote] I would agree with ilovesaintmark, it …
-
Hmm that may be a bit far fetched, I looked up bury and buried in the coptic dictionary i have and it wasn't in there as mademes. Maybe it could be a sahidic or fayumic thing?
-
Another word similarity is the word Tarabeza which is table in egyptian arabic, while in coptic it is [coptic]`Trapeza[/coptic]. Another corruption of the coptic words would be the name Bola-Paul, while in proper arabic its Bolous, and in Coptic its…
