@minatasgeel,Yes I could be cynical but here I was not trying to be cynical At all trust me. I'm sure you know that though, don't you?

@lfahmy Thanks man.. I have not grown a beard yet but when I do I'll let you know how I look like.. hehe..Oujai Ps: there's one way to do things right but numerous ways to do them wrong and increasing..

@qawe,I bit my tongue so as not to say it, but you know.. hehe.. Oujai

Perfect..Oujai

Em is an article for the second noun following the one prior so after naniodi you'd put em for metropolitan s or en for bishops and the rest of the sentence is using either the plural or the singular. This will always imply the plural of the first n…

No the whole story is St Mary died and her body was carried up to heaven and the only saint who saw that was St Thomas. So in order to convince the apostles he went to them and they arranged a fast and God showed them a vision of the same scene that…

@minasoliman,Fantastic. Thanks a lotOujai

@qawe,"Ni" is the article of the plural, and "bi" for the singular. Just form up the sentence however you want to make the statement. Oujai

Sorry my mistake I thought it was the auto-correct on the original poster's gadget. @Mabsoota, It's the same one who was serving in Norwich and recently in Newcastle too. He didn't know at first As he thought he would be in Cairo but now the decisio…

@withJesuswethrivewhat @sharetheLord said is very valid, but let me first applaud and commend so highly the step you took in approaching your father of confession. It seems to me you don't easily trust people As seen with your family and counsellors…

@mabsoota,You're absolutely right, that's an example of Greek loan words in the Coptic vocabulary also like dekha, keda, Ekhrestos, etc@Theophilus1,Taboot is an Arabic word not Coptic. Sett was analysed by Remenkimi as above..Oujai

It means mahgar that translates to diaspora..Oujai
-
Oh no it's not like there's complacency in the Coptic church with the apostles' canons, perhaps just too much culturalism that needs banning.. No wait that's the muslim mentality spreading to the Coptic church, we're not the Greek or Ethiopian after…
-
@Remenkimi,Thank you very much for this.. very perfect analysis and to the core. Indeed I like you argue that it's more related to varying the Arabic term than the Egyptian god or goddess even.. thanks againOujai
-
@Remenkimi,Thanks for believing in Me to that extent.. Kama, Kami, or Kaimi, but not actually Keemi all refer to black and to Egypt too. You're absolutely right about woman of course. Sett refers to an Egyptian god that was a female, although I have…

@minasoliman,I'm a member of Copticworld but I haven't used that website often. Of course if you are keen on that please copy and paste all of this over thereOujai

@EsmoEpchois, It's different when you praise Jehovah's witnesses publicly At the expense of your own faithful people.. I don't think that this is a wise thing to have said. Again I don't even remember who the quote related to!Oujai
-
@minasoliman,That clears it up for me. I'd heard a bishop said such a thing some time ago but don't remember if it was Anba Bishoy. I agree with you on what you said..Oujai
-
Both @mabsoota and @Remenkimi make very valid if not even accurate statements. Unfortunately people in Egypt including non-christians have attacked Anba Bishoy calling him a sala fist! Only recently I read that someone defended him and backtracked s…
-
@qawe,That's a very interesting question, actually I don't think it is said No. Even though we still say the doxologies for the three feasts. But then again dannaw isn't said and I can't even remember that the special psalies are said either. I have…
-
That's wonderful. Thanks @dg920

@ShareTheLord and all,Firstly, tv screens in church don't just distract a few people as they have a more collective function. So by contemplating on an icon away from the altar for however long you are taking the saint's blessings and benefiting eve…

Unfortunately the congregation here complained to abouna that the liturgy may sometimes take more than 45 minutes from the sermon onwards and abouna had to abide by what they said. I'm starting to actually lose faith that prayers, hymns and Coptic m…

Dear all,I hope if somebody knows any other church using such aids let me know. I'd not be very surprised to find that we're the only onesOujai
-
oops forgot to comment on St. Paul's point. Please don't twist the argument to imply that liturgical books are burdens, or indeed the Coptic language..Oujai

@Amoussa01,Churches a decade ago didn't have screens, and yet people didn't complain including newcomers about their lack of understanding. As far as I am aware living in a western country and going to the Coptic church the number of newcomers barel…

@EsmoEpchois,Do they distract people from looking at the altar? Do they cause people to get dependent upon them? Oujai
