Ok so I was going though my phone and found 'Here I am to worship' I was so tempted to listen to it and I did :( Should I delete all of the protestant songs that I have? and I have friends who are addicted to some Protestant songs, the ones that don…
Here is my two cents on the whole issue...
How many church rules and tradition has been broken????? It is like a chain reaction. Once one rule is broken, we will have to brake another rule to correct the old one and so on. If the church in the firs…
Oh, that makes sense. I may have sounded stupid but where I am from almost nobody uses this connotation for the word before and yes understanding Coptic helps a lot except that I am not as good as you guys in translating Coptic. I can read but not t…

There should be a bishop's staff in every church.
The staff is a sign of the bishop's office, commission, and authority.
The one carrying the staff, should be a full…

Not one of the early church fathers speaks of scripture being the sole authority, and not one ever speaks of faith alone. This means that the two pillars of protestantism w…
Haha this video made me laugh! He doesn't even show a basic understanding of Christian theology! He doesnot even rhyme!!! The only thing that I liked in this video was the music. It was pretty dramatic lol
^^^^^^^^ LOLOL I am not starting an argument or anything it is a mere question. Then why do we have songs like O come O come Emanuel and I will enter his gates on this website?
I had a long argument with one of my protestant friends but you may say I won... He had no bases for his argument whatsoever and the article helped alot too
I just saw something else in this video that I thought I should bring to you guys' views if you didnot notice. This video has an ad at the beginning; this whole thing was made for money. He know that many people would watch it. I think that alone wo…

The Synaxarium is the story of the saint read in church. I have never heard about it being chanted. May be imikhail can enlighten us with some info from older manuscript…
No need for asking for forgiveness we are all here to learn. It is a book really similar to the Synaxarium, but it is read in Midnight praises right before the conclusion and yeah that is all what I know.
OH MY GOD!!! Why didnot anybody tell me about this website before I was always wondering if there was any attempts to revive coptic!!! and here it is... THANK YOU this website is worth a fortune

Dear Coptic_Deacon,
