You might also want to try getting your hands on the ancient christian commentary series. They have all of the new testament i believe and select books from the old testament

1. Augustine is not a saint in the Oriental Orthodox communion. 2. At one point he had a change of heart, and that is how God works. God didn't change him by force or simply for his mom's incessant prayers. The prayers helped but he had a change of …

[quote author=TITL link=topic=10127.msg123746#msg123746 date=1291690348] Talk about no hope. Jeez. How long did St. Monica cry over her son? 40 years? No one in this world wants to be corrected, but through the Grace of God, (some) are. I have fait…

Nothing is going to help this person unless this person wants help. You can't correct someone who doesn't think they are wrong. You can type/talk to this person until your fingers turn blue from how much you've typed but nothing is going to change. …

Ragheb Moftah is pretty much the person that orchestrated and put together the first HICS and allowed for mlm mikhail to record the hymns. And just fyi, the entire coptic hymnology is most definitely not recorded or available in this collection. Thi…

PM me your email, I'll send it to you

Ilovesaintmark, I do agree with everything you said to an extent. However, it is not Ibrahim Ayads job to teach spirituality of the hymns, his purpose is to relay them and record them in a manner for learning. The job and duty I believe falls on th…
-
On a side note to what ilovesaintmark said, the matins praise is not said before matins because it is already incorporated into matins in the form of the verses of the cymbals and the 7 tunes, not because there is no time. I think the reason why at …

I agree 100% with TITL and servant33, I am currently a senior in college and joe, i gotta tell you, its a nightmare. lol Its not going to get better so you have to get good habits going while its easier to then later on in life when things get even …

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10071.msg123034#msg123034 date=1291153045] But why would the tune be the priority in Orthodox hymnody? Surely the most important aspect is to understand and internalise the text so much that it becomes an expre…

I stand corrected. Pray for me and my weakness

Thank you TITL for all the great topics you start. I know lately I have not been as active as I used to be(lol i used to be on here everyday! haha) and sometimes get aggravated with the posts I see, I sometimes forget that others are coming to learn…

[quote author=Father Peter link=topic=10042.msg122896#msg122896 date=1290975926] But we do know that in Aramaic, the source of this word, Abba does mean Father. Now it may well be that at later periods perhaps the Copts chose to use this loan word …

[quote author=ophadece link=topic=10030.msg122743#msg122743 date=1290669772] First of all: why the need for innovation? The psalm has been like that since the beginning, why did people decide to add to it. I can understand that in other rites there …

Actually, [coptic]apa[/coptic] does not mean father(per se in this contact). You could take in that manner but its really a title given to someone in high regard or honor such as this great saint. Thats why in translations(even in arabic) either [co…

Ilovesaintmark, Spot on. Could not have said anything else better myself. Pray for the service and those who serve. God bless

Mikhail: Sunday is not a MUST for a Christian to attend the Liturgy. As long as you attend at least once a week, the end result is the same. Receiving Christ. The Sunday liturgy is not a "higher" or more important liturgy than a weekday or Saturday…

[coptic]`P[oic nai nan[/coptic] is Lord have mercy in coptic, not Je nai nan. And [coptic]`Vnou][/coptic] is God. [coptic]`Viwt[/coptic] is father

[quote author=Ioannes link=topic=9833.msg120427#msg120427 date=1286586963] Jydeacon, very bold words from someone who knows nothing about me. Well let me tell you since you seem to enjoy jumping to conclusions, ad hominim attacks, and gross generali…

You know guys...Its topics like these that really make me hate coming to this site anymore. Ioaness you said: "There is no reason to serve as a Deacon of any rank if you are not able to maintain self control, pray daily, fast, and be a model Christi…

I wouldn't say he is forgotten at all. He is a saint close to my heart as well. I am named after him for that matter. In the diaspora I would say the majority of churches are named after him. My church is named after him. I would say in almost every…

Not if you are a man, in the gospels it clearly states that men should not wear head coverings in church. If you notice or go to a church with a full deacon/bishop/pope they take off w/e they are wearing on their heads whether it be the crown for a …

Mina, isn't that what a diocese is, a bishop over a certain number of churches? It doesn't have to span a geographic area necessarily. If he isn't a general bishop he's gotta be a bishop over a diocese.
-
There are three bishops in the US, there is a new diocese for states like Virginia and North Carolina under HG Anba Michael. So what your saying ilovesaintmark isn't the case any longer.

The book of revelation is entirely a symbolic book. The mark of God and stamp of God is the Holy Spirit of Whom we receive through baptism. Not a literal stamp per se

Refer to this topic: http://tasbeha.org/content/community/index.php?topic=5007.0 We have lost posters(many very well grounded in patristics and theology) because the changes were never made to the forum. I myself have stopped participating as much …
