  • I dont know much about the development of liturgical music. All i have been thaught is that we, as "spiritually mature" in the New Testament use our voices as an acceptable offering to praise God with. What is the point in using musical instruments …
  • I was just there in the summer as well, and my cousin told me its also to be able to identify eachother easier (ie wich religion). It's kinda standard that Christian girls dont cover their hair, and (almost) all Christians have a cross tattoo.
    in Why ? Comment by mmatt95 September 2006

  • i found the thread for u: http://www.coptichymns.net/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=45654&highlight=#45654
  • I remember albair said on a thread on coptichymns.net a few months ago that this was all discussed with the Holy Synod, and they approved these responses. The responses are kinda logic, i see no reason why they shouldnt be said, but thats just me ;D
  • I like psalm 151 ;D and 50 (51 in our bibles), its so powerfull and full of repentance nywayz, all psalms rock 8)
  • she did give birth to the ho.y spirit ooooooooooookay ::) a spirit is not to be born from a human habibi, St Mary did get pregnant through the Holy Spirit, but she gave birth to the incarnate Word!!

  • Really? So what you are telling me is that it is imposible for people like ghandi, budda, my next door neighbor, maybe you next door neibor to get into heavan beacuse they font have faith which means that have not done any good deeds. There's this…
  • why so? I dont know the detail differences that differ our believes from protestant, but this is what i was thaught all my life. It seems quite biblical to me too: all have sinned, we are saved by faith, we show our faith by works. I know there's m…
  • a) What if one is an atheist, or otherwise doesn't believe in the existance of hell? It's totally irrelevant whether one believes in hell or doesnt. If it exists, it exists no matter what anybody thinks. If it doesnt exist, then it doesnt. b) What d…
  • By neutral, I mean why do those who don't believe have to be condemned, even if the life they lived was a wholesome, successful and generally good life filled with positve productivity? There's a big thinking error in ur argumentation. You assume t…
  • well, IT IS undeniable. If you take the bible as ur source, i dont think we even need to get quotes from the bible, there's enough quotes about hell. If you want to debate the reliability of the bible, well, thats a whole other story. Even that is q…
  • How can god not choose? He created us after all, certainly he could at least influence us with something that is logical to make us believe. U answer ur own question. God could force us obviously, since he is almighty, but he gave us free will. He i…
  • Hell exists. Originally it was there for Satan and his angels, it was not for man. Keep in mind that God doesnt throw anyone in Hell, everybody was created to LIVE, buttttt people CHOOSE to reject salvation and the existence of God in their lives. C…
  • HOW ABOUT U PEOPLE ACTUALLY READ BOOKS AND ASK U'RE PRIEST WHOSE JOBS ARE, BY THE WAY, TO TEACH YOU ABOUT THESE THINGS, INSTEAD OF RELYING ON OTHERS WHO HAVE NO CLUE WAT THEY'RE SAYING JUST LIKE U what's ur problem, quotes from church fathers, and p…
  • try this: http://www.agpeya.com/Prime/prime.html search for "Holy Holy Holy"
  • that article is sick :o What are these so called reformations that have been ignored for years by HH? Whats their problem with HH pope Shenouda anyway, the only thing he has desperately tried to do is keeping the peace between christians and muslim…
  • Oh and one more thing, in my bible the prophecy from Isaiah has a footnote that directs to Revelation chapter 12. If i'm correct Fr Tadros speaks in his explanation that the woman clothed with the son refers either to St Mary or the Church.
  • Oh, and monmonmon if u read the rest of the theotokia you will find the explanation in the same part: part 9!! You will read that the sun that clothes her is Christ, and the stars are the apostles, and the moon is St John the Baptist.
  • Okay, i got the solution from the bible people ;D This new psalmody book from the monastery of El Baramous provides footnotes with explanations and quotations from the bible, and they quoted this prophecy i hadn't read before, and this prophecy mus…
  • I heard that Mr Maximus (HH Maximus haha, how funny indeed), was asked how many followers he has. It was around 1000, which is NOTHING lol. One of the major reasons people are drawn close to him is that they seek divorce (and get a permission to re…
  • It does say so in the Thursday Theotokia, unless i misunderstood the verse: (Thursday Theotokia V:IV) [coptic]Vy gar etaumacf hwc nou] `apa;yc ebolqen `Viwt aumacf on kata carx apa;yc ebolqen ]par;enoc [/coptic] For He who was born is God, born…
  • video's cant be downloaded
  • great, well done :)
  • I think its misplaced, i never seen in any book the continuation going anywhere further than the part of [coptic]Loipon Villippoc[/coptic]. The fact that the paralex was taken from the doxology doesnt mean all parts of the doxology are included. In…
  • anyone??
  • my mistake, i took it for a seasonal psali. I thought a psali for such a feast would have to be located in the seasonal psali's book (which is the one i have). It does make sense though that its in the annual book! I'll see if i can find it at ch…
  • there's no such thing as a psali for the feast of St Peter and St Paul. There's only a doxology. There's also the psali's for the Apostle's fast: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?action=viewcat&id=113 find someone to type the english …
  • NOTE: Interpretations and Explanations adapted from Fr Tadros Malatys Commentary on Ezekiel and The Book Of Revelation. There's a commentary on the book of Ezekiel in english???? :o if you know where it is in electronic format, plz let me know!!
