  • Basically the Alexandrian style is the one not on morning doxology tune. I believe this is the correct teaching. Neknai on morning doxology tune however should only be used at the conclusion of such (not midnight Adam chants). Oujai qen `P[C
  • Yes Mina that's the one I meant. Oujai
  • Awol hedan of Kiahk Oujai
  • Dear all, Sham ennisim (will find its proper Coptic spelling later) is not a pagan festivity anymore. I can't remember the details of the story, but there was an emperor, or a king, who questioned the resurrection and how Christ can get out of a sea…
  • Dzheremi don't you dare talk blasphemy of the Geordies... that's the last warning you'll get.. hehe.. after which I'll join forces with you.. hehe OUJAi
  • BLack sheep is not literally translated in Arabic, but nearly to "el batta el soda".. don't usually use the plural though Oujai
  • Agreed completely dzheremi Oujai
  • I didn't know we're fasting today TITL.. why? Oujai
  • I guess I just have to agree.. I'm confused and deluded.. hehe Oujai
  • Dear Remnkemi, Shall I say congratulations? I can see that you are developing a soft spot for the authentic Coptic, and so you changed Remenkimi to Remnkemi. I hope I am not deluded though, am I? Hehe Oujai qen `P[C
  • Why Mina? Because you sound like a scratched "record" (= tasgeel)? hehe... only joking. Guys, I thought you know already from Mina's and TITL's posts, and those who sent me e-mails. My name is Fady. I like ophadece though, and I will keep it... I ha…
  • Dear Danacbi `cnawnkh, Your best bet is to listen to some Gregorian liturgies on this website... Oujai qen `P[C
  • Yes Mina hit the nail on the head... c_hope is right but the connotations of each word is subtly different.. el 3azra2 gives a sense of someone who lives all her life without marriage. Batool gives the sense of a one who made a vow to remain a virgi…
  • Yes mabsoota's words are right. Oujai
  • Dear returnorthodoxy, I'm glad you forgive me.. thanks bro Dear Unworthy1, Nice article.. I liked it Dear Hezekiel, Where have you been.. I needed your backing for some time man..hehe Oujai
  • DEar returnorthodoxy and all, I'm sorry that I assumed you were a muslim.. nothing more to say, I just hope you forgive me Dear Unworthy1, I wasn't talking about an ideal Christian, I was rather talking about idealistic Christian behaviour... Oujai
  • Dear returnorthodoxy, Are you showing us your true colours now? You're a muslim aren't you? You should have pointed this out long ago so I can reply at your level.. hope I haven't confused you.. Oujai
  • Very well said dzheremi. By the way salafists, are not thugs... both are distinct groups puppeteered by the scaf, as many others are. I would venture saying that rock throwing Palestinians defend a lawful principle (after they sold their own land...…
  • DEar Zoxsasi and John_S2000, I guess both returnorthodoxy and Unworthy1 are talking about the idealistic and absolutist way a Christian should be, and there is no question that we should always strive to achieve that in all our life.. my problem how…
  • Dear 2Corinthians5:7, For the first problem being cold-hearted my suggestion is to pray for God and He will deal with that.. With regards the second problem, I guess father of confession would be the best to help.. I can also do if you'd like to pm …
  • DEAr returnorthodoxy and Unworthy1, No one can deny that Jesus being asserted still instructed us about not paying back evil with evil, but what Cephas is getting at, from my point of view, is if someone armed enters your house to steal it, and you …
  • And another point actually, you call me violent if I instigate attacking another person, but if you come and hit me and I punch you to defend myself, what do you call that? I don't necessarily call it violence because I may be placid all my life and…
  • DEar returnorthodoxy, I still disagree for calling Copts violent due to their reaction.. if that's your view then probably Copts have been violent all along, not only last Sunday.. I just hate for you to be prejudiced by media announcements or any o…
  • Dear returnorthodoxy, I stand corrected. Yes, Christians threw rocks at snipers in both elqolaly (top end of Shoubra, 3.5 - 4 miles from the march outset), and again near to the Maspero building (2 - 2.5 miles later), and they did that as a reaction…
  • DEar returnorthodoxy, The Holy Synod was right. Christians didn't pelt any rocks, and some thugs infiltrated the march incited by government, scaf officials OUjai
  • IT'll be a good idea for someone looking for a hymn, or a song... no need for an entire thread just for that Oujai
  • I actually forgot to state a very important point that I should have started my previous post with. I am sure many of you who live in America would know that, because that was a statement made by mubarak in reply to Obama's calls for his stepping do…
  • Dear ilovesaintmark, Trust me I am not that naive, and if someone has hope in the future, even though a tad unrealistic, that doesn't mean naivety... this is exactly the case with many Christians in Egypt now. OK, let me tell you about some facts. …
  • Dear Marmar, ilovesaintmark, and George_Mina_Awad, I hope you could understand what was in the video. I am sure it is not only heartbreaking for those who watch understanding, but those not understanding. If you missed anything ask me, I have a litt…
  • I see... it becomes confusing for me sometimes to follow which where... Oujai
