Dear Bishoy.Adel, Please refer to God with a capital g, otherwise the word god describes any man-made idol. Secondly use the church, hymns, deaconate as means to an end, not the end in itself. That is to say do these things for God and in order to g…

Yes as geomike said only during church services and prayers. As for nuns they are devoted to Christ and so the whole world becomes their service because they are called by God to serve in the world, so in a way their life is a continuous prayer. How…

Dthoxasi, I really do believe that Europeans are more in tune with principles of democracy and dare I say anthropology more than religion, whether he's muslim or Christian. I also met Christian colleagues who share your friend's viewpoint.. Oujai

Thanks for the clarification dthoxasi Oujai

Dear superman, The difference between crusades and islam, is that the former was done for political reasons and words of the Bible misinterpreted to accommodate such goals. They happened only in one era as far as I know, not on the scale of islam wh…

Dear RamezM, I also PMed you for a copy please too.. oujai

Egyptian Arabic is the most understandable amongst the Arabic speaking countries.. that's one of the easier words, and there are other slang words that could be much more difficult to understand.. makes sense? oujai
-
Mabsoota is the feminine of mabsoot, colloquial for happy, not a formal Arabic word, as it refers to relaxing the muscles of the face "Yembeset" not formal, only slang.. baseet on the other hand is both formal and slang meaning simple.. yes the root…

Ekhrestos anesty yes it's the same rule but there is no "p" in proper Coptic pronunciation.. oujai
-
Ekhrestos anesty dear Copticandproud, I'm not sure I'm the best one to answer that question as I'm not so much evidence based.. I might be wrong but I may have read that in the demotic language that's the way it was, so Copts carried the same princi…

Ekhrestos anesty what both remenkimi and Ramez say agrees with the teachings I was taught.. ton sina, tolitho and whatever else were added in the days of pope Kirollos IV, although remenkimi says there aren't manuscripts to prove otherwise, and righ…

Thanks baladoos, please keep us in your prayers always too, so that we pray for each other.. oujai

Dear baladoos, You're someone I respect so much and I pray that what I'm going to say now is really gonna help you through the Holy Spirit, so please you too pray.. my personal opinion is this, a bit psychologically, your fiancee didn't open up bef…

Ekhrestos anesty dear remenkimi, I'm not attacking you at all I'm commenting.. I think sometimes in the heat of the debate we forget what its purpose is all about in the first place.. I still hope you consider me a brother.. I am aware of your stati…
-
Ekhrestos anesty dear remenkimi, some of the things you say now do really contradict what you said before, and sometimes you mention two contradictory statements in the same post. I will offer my personal effort in translating Erian later but I need…

Thanks for such a brilliant insight and enlightenment dear RamezM. Very well explained; thanks Oujai qen `P[C

Yes drewhalim you are right. I believe I was talking more about the "altar-related" stuff, e.g. censor hands, Communion, etc... Oujai qen `P[C

Dear Remenkimi, Sorry to say this, but it appears to me now that you are clutching at straws. In the vigorous attempt to defend your changed position, you have started to quote things that are non-scientific, and that is really "unlike" you. As I st…
-
I think because of two factors: first, we don't use even numbers in our practice, and second: to resemble the Trinity and the One God. Oujai

OK Remenkimi, so as a brother I ask you to please review how you address other people. Numerous times in the past to show me your point, you kept saying that I compare apples to oranges. Seriously, if anything you should pay attention to what you ar…
-
Dear Remenkimi, I am not sure where I came up with the idea of Greek loan words in this discussion! I cannot see anything I wrote relating to that. Also, please note that archangel is something pronounced /a:keinjel/ and sometimes /a:tsheinjel/ by p…

Dear Mina, There was nothing academic that Aryan did. Would you please read his book (either in Arabic or English) and you would find that Remenkimi is actually defending something completely flawed in his scientific style! Seriously, the topic is m…
-
Dear remenkimi, so what do linguists say about: appreciation, bow, desert, sexual, negotiation, colonel, lieutenant, Worcester? What are the rules for such words? oujai
-
That's great remenkimi, so we agree that natural language shifts need some collective acceptance of speakers of that language, or to a smaller extent, a dialect.. that wasn't the case with GB however. Oujai
-
No, t isn't always pronounced as /d/; sometimes /t/ too. Pretty much like 'c' in English. Note words like batoc, and ,rictoc. I cannot comment on Arabic, because it isn't my language in the first place. I don't like speaking Arabic, and I am not goi…
-
Did I acknowledge an error? Then you misunderstood me. The former spells as e;ouab and is pronounced as /atwab/, while the latter spells as at;ouab and is prnounced as /a:twab/. I speak Arabic as my father and mother do. It could be a variant of Cai…

No no no... Aryan didn't correct the faults of OB by introducing GB as you claim Remenkimi. He made a mockery of OB, and wanted to change it for the sake of another language, totally different. Indeed, one can argue that he did the reverse; he encou…
