@qaweFasting is when we change our feeding habits for a period of time and for a particular reason that is to say one of the seven fasts. Fasting before the liturgy doesn't count as such because it could happen 361 days a year.. Oujai
@qawe,I'm aware of that, and both Do Go hand in hand, that's to say that In the Lordly feasts during fasting we don't abstain nor practise prostrations. An example just came to happen last week in the transfiguration feast..Oujai
@mnc_hnn,Sorry mate.@minatasgeel,You are quite right... hehe... once again I must have drawn on my sinful nature. I am not a female, so that's why... Oujai
@mabsoota,Sorry I am the one who brought the notion of "mainly" nude females. You are right, it could be any thing; I guess I was just drawing from my own sinful thoughts... pray for meOujai
Dear @Sarah, Why are you asking such a question now AGAIN after all these years? Why on this website? Why do you not ask a priest? Why do you write God with a small g?The above questions are not anybody's business, they are just for you to answer ho…
@minatasgeel,I think you just answered yourself in your last two statements. God cannot be a relativist. Unfortunately some of the church figures are and that's not healthy.. Oujai

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..
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…
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
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…

@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…
