  • Divine Grace, Fr Tadros Malaty, 1992 Alexandria, page 6 and further: 7. Many scholars are of the opinion that the Alexandrian theology concentrated on the "deification," as it is strongly evident in the writings of SS. Athanasius and Cyril. By deifi…

  • This article might be usefull, it's from an EO source, but very insightfull: http://www.orthodoxpress.org/parish/river_of_fire.htm
  • lol, I think so. I've seen plenty of married people. It's more the age that counts. There's a lot of supervisors who come as well, and their age ranges from 25 to 75, i'm sure ur not THAT old ;D
  • me on the right ;D http://www.koptischekerk.nl/conferentie/media/album/slides/Afbeelding 1032.html See, we were practically standing next to eachother, not knowing that we are both tasbeha.org members ::) ;)
  • yah bezaaaaaaaabt, the clerical guy from France is Marco, and there were indeed the uncle from Ireland with his kids, I remember him too. The best part was psalm 150, I think we did it in -coptic -arabic -english -french -german -italian -dutch Oh…

    in Romans Comment by mmatt95 May 2008
  • I so agree with Mina_ameen, we have a twisted view concerning sex because we see it being practised in such a horrible way nowadays (and not just nowadays, this is not just something of this age - remember the sinfull practises of the Roman and gre…

  • For the zillionth time: sex is not only for procreation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please don't just throw in your own private opinion, give credible sources or at least proper argum…
  • Mina: that's what you think. first, stopping a new child from coming to life is a SIN. also we believe that everything happens through God's will. if you'd like it or not. If stopping a new child from coming to life is a sin, then we'd not have 1 bi…
  • Contraception is allowed in the Orthodox Church, there's a zillion thread's about this (can't be bothered to find them :P). If you don't believe me, go ask anba Bola or anyone else you would believe. Not using contraception is based on the assumpti…
  • 4 is the response for the 7 seven churches, also from Revelation (He who has an ear...)

  • For the full txt in coptic/arabic/english: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/150
  • That was probably the Aspasmos Watos for Lent in arabic, it starts with "Ana a3refo ennaka sale7on, ra'ouf wa ra7im..." (in coptic Ti soo-oun je enthok ou aghathos), and the text is actually taken from two verses from the Doxology "Nek nai o Pachois…
  • There's no Vespers on weekdays of Lent, that's true. The reason i heard as well is that weekday liturgies traditionally end very late, so it would be impractical to pray the psalms, vespers praise and vespers. For this reason all the psalms are pray…
  • Maybe if we all shout for Cephas he'll come back ;D CEPHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS, ya wad ya cephas :D
  • There's not so many people that actually understand coptic as a language, we read the coptic bible only from the Katameros during services (especially Holy week). Perhaps you could find parts of the books you need in the Coptic Katameros for Lent /…

  • Raphael, the archangel ;) The L is next.
  • 70 virgins ;)
  • Muslims pray towards the south-east, not the east (ie Mecca)? lol
  • No, it doesn't. It has nothing to do with the Wise Men. It has to do with the high priest, Christ, who is represented by the pope or bissschop who is supposed to be present when the hymn is chanted. The only reason it's chanted in feasts is because …
  • We are still in the seventh day because Genesis doesn't mention that the seventh day ever ended. It says of the other days that they came to an end. Notice that God rested on that seventh day when he became incarnate in the fullness of time and rest…
  • [quote author=minagir link=topic=6083.msg80965#msg80965 date=1200186066] - Ni-saviv can be said (as many churchs do so) [/quote] Of which we all know it's a wrong practice since nisavev is not a festal hymn ;D
