Dear @ShareTheLord,
Of course God was susceptible to illness, He was fully human. However He did not promise to protect us from disease or illness, but He promised us to be protected in His presence, inside His house.
Dear @pharoh123,
You may be sur…
Dear @ShareTheLord,I am sorry as I was not clear in my thoughts, or arguments (as always), but the bottom line is if I go to church with corona virus and all the people in the church have faith that God protects them, and they won't get it, then the…
Dear @Daniel_Kyrillos I never wished to have read these words from you but I am more than certain that your spiritual "stature" is far away above all of us and you are only doing that as a ruse to trick the evil one - at least so I hope.Without ment…
@Zoxsasi,
You went to a grocery store? I am really surprised! You risked your life and lives of the people around you, or did you predict that they were wearing masks? Yes that is the whole issue I agree with you, if we don't go to the grocery store…
Dear @ItalianCoptic,
I believe that going to church protects anyone from being infected because it is God's house. However if He wills for me to be infected and infect others inside His house, then that is His will. We should not stop going to churc…
@Zoxsasi
I am OK thank God and thank you very much for asking.. I am just disappointed about what is happening. First time I am seeing evidence of disbelief and impiety (I think that is how it spells, for the sake of avoiding saying ungodliness or a…
That is very true @Zoxsasi and that is why I would expect that my wife, brother, son, or parents to not mind me staying in God's house with them - but should this be the attitude of the rest of the congregation? Oops, actually it should, but I will …
@Zoxsasi,
Difficult for me to answer, but I would rather go to God's house and be infected there (or rather die there). Should this be the hierarchical view? I don't know, they are in a difficult position but I think they should..

@Zoxsasi and @minatasgeel please let's agree to disagree. I am someone with odd ideas.
The church was wrong to comply with the government decision to close Sunday schools on the day of the opening match of the African Cup.
The church was wrong to s…
Very well said @mabsoota.. I disagree with @minatasgeel's comment that the church ought to be concerned with our physical lives. Her primary aim is not to be of this world, however you would like to interpret my statement..

@mabsoota, I can't agree more. I think @minatasgeel and @Daniel_Kyrillos have already touched upon this but as you rightly say the translation in a wide variety of hymns and melodies is poor. I don't know about French, Italian or the other languages…
The hymn is not old Bohairic it is Sa'idic mixed with other dialects of Coptic on a smaller sense, hence it was a challenge for anyone to attempt to translate it, especially that Sa'idic as a dialect ceased to be in use in the early century teens an…
@Daniel_Kyrillos
This is Fr Shenouda Maher's version of ⲁⲅⲓⲟⲥ ⲓⲥⲧⲏⲛ, I believe I came across it a while ago but I can't remember how it goes in terms of the tune..

Dear @minatasgeel,
Please let me comment on something that you said: "anyone who thinks that unifying the dates of feasts would bring on unity in faith in general is greatly mistaken. It would only be a very superficial move to cover all the disagre…
@Marenhoos_erof
Sorry, with all due respect bishop Youannis makes a grave mistake. If the first day of Theophany falls on a Wednesday or a Friday then that is a different matter, but not the second or third day. This is the case with the 29th of Kia…
@ItalianCoptic
I am so blessed and honoured to have known someone like yourself. I said it before and I will say it again, I had a great pleasure knowing you were a person with Italian roots, married to a Copt, living in America and nominated for pr…
@Jojo_Hanna
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement.. I need your prayers always
@minatasgeel
You are absolutely right.. I will take your advice and do that as I am actually preparing to do some more detailed videos.. Please give me your o…
Dear @Marenhoos_erof would you mind alerting the moderators of that website to this typo: "If the Nativity Feast falls on a Sunday, we would have a two-day Paramon, Saturday and Sunday." It should be Friday and Saturday.
Dear @mabsoota as @Marenhoos…
