Dear Tishori, Thanks for your help. That is not what I meant actually. I am looking for the long tune of Alleluia starting the Psalm 150, and not the short one, or the medium (mo7ayer). God bless you and pray for us a lot

Dear all, I can view Aghaby TV online through www.sopcast.com; you just need to download a very small program, install it, and it views about 40 - 50 online channels streaming. One of them is aghaby TV. Channels are divided by the genre. I hope you …

Dear shnoda, My view is different on this one. If I were in your place, I would have given it to him on the basis that I shouldn't judge him. Even if he shows off today, he might be in dire need for it tomorrow, to learn it and get benefit. The prie…

Dear all, The first time that my attention is drawn to such an issue. And it is very interesting. Yeah, now I agree with QT_PA_2T about tombola for illicit (not so illegal) reasons, and agree with Anglian that it has an element of gambling, so I thi…

Dear all, I am sorry if I sound a bit closed-minded here, but I have asked this question many times and didn't find a convincing answer. Please, can someone help me? The question is: I adore my Coptic Orthodoxy dogma, and I am not sure if those conv…

Dear Mina, I do agree, and till now there is no clear explanation, or solution for this happening, except "MONEY". How sad. God bless you all and pray for us a lot

Dear minagir, Please explain to me what H.H. Pope Shenouda said, and what you meant by your reply to some of those people. God bless you and pray for us a lot

Dear Cephas, I am truly sorry: I completely disagree here. I am not against paying the tithes, not just because of the edification of the church, but also because it is God's commandment. What you miss (probably because you were not born in Egypt) i…
-
Dear orthodox11, You make a good point, but I really see this as contradicting the meaning of what Christ has said. Secondly, sacrificing time and money to get this doesn't mean that I should hold them from other people, and not share with them thro…
-
Dear QT_PA_2T, As I told you it has got several meanings, but the meaning that I believe the Bible meant is "unclean". However, in their book they use that word to determine if someone, or something is filthy, because they don't believe in cleanline…

Dear QT_PA_2T, Arabic is my first knowledge, and I can affirm that "najessa" in this sense means unclean as you right said. As much as any language does have many meanings for one word, Arabic is no exception, and by the way: God's people were full …

Before every thing else... Congratulations on your marriage. You both pray for us a lot. God bless your new life, and your home, and may He and the saints stay in your house and bless it forever.

Dear QT_PA_2T, What??????????????????? Please our wives?????????????????????????????? I can't agree more :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) Well, I agree with you that English and French are more like the "modern" Coptic language, and I do agree also that Egyptia…
-
Dear all, Just realised that I wrote the words holy mosque in capital, when I shouldn't have. I am so sorry. Yes, I think Nestor gets clear what I said earlier: I think it is that red calf that the priest was talking about. God bless you all and p…

Dear QT_PA_2T, No double standards please: remember. No transliteration at all please :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) God bless you and pray for us a lot
-
Dear QT_PAT_2T, Trust me, I never mean learning Coptic as a language, but understanding the hymns that we sing rather. It is through understanding the hymns that we praise God, and not just repeat words rather blindly. Coptic language in its own rig…
-
Dear QT_PA_2T, I hope you don't get offended, and I hope anyone gets offended. What I understood is that Mina wrote the lyrics in English lyrics to pronounce Coptic language, is that right? If it is so, then please don't let me start. Please please …

Dear all, Let me clear this up. Yes, I heard this a few times, but I don't know how true it is, or have I researched into it. Yes, there is a red cow which according to the Jewish belief should be very important, and the day it appears (and later sl…

Very nice Mina. God bless you. Pray for us a lot

I do agree 100% with Orthodox11. I was only talking about our Coptic church, and I don't see churches in the East and West uniting again. Sorry for this dismal opinion, but again that is merely my personal opinion. God bless you all and mention us i…
-
Dear all, That topic is becoming more and more interesting. I heard that piece of information before that the actually date of Jesus' birth is in the spring (be it March, or April), but I really think that for the purpose of preserving the rites and…
-
Dear john_paul_elia, Thanks for working our minds (which for me doesn't happen that often :-)). Yes, that is like food for thought, or a complex mathematical exerceise. I have never thought of it like that before to be honest, but, it is so interest…
-
Dear smile4ever, Thanks so much. Yes, you did answer my questions down to every detail. I really appreciate that so much. It is like one member said before "we learn something new every day on tasbeha.org". God bless you and pray for us a lot
-
Dear gregorythesinner, I understand your points, and they seem to be very relevant. However, I can't yet grasp how the Coptic Orthodox Church received the Gregorian calender (or whether it was the Egyptians as a whole). Would someone explain if they…
-
Well done smile4ever, That is a very interesting, and concise explanation. Let me ask you though: who changed the calendar? Is it the Christians during Pope Gregory era? Or was it the government? I believe the government in Egypt at that time must h…
-
Dear sonya111, I am in total agreement with what every one has replied to you with, and more so with what Cephas was saying. True in every small detail dealing with Egyptians in a visit in Egypt, is totally, and wholly different than dealing with th…

Dear ishta, I live in the UK, and I thought if you would like I might give you my address, so that you post the questionnaire to me (5 - 10 copies), and I might be able to give them out when I go to church on Sunday. Then I can post them back to you…
-
Dear ishta, Very comprehensive and concise questionnaire. Best of luck. Keep us updated with the initial survey of the answers. It must benefit us all. God bless you and please mention me in your prayers
-
Dear all, Let me build on Hos Erof's suggestion. I really dreamt about this a long time ago. Again, it goes on the backs of those who are intelligent, good at computer skills, and free (like school holidays, etc). I haven't yet viewed gergesezzat's …

Dear all, Thanks for the clarification. Well, I didn't mean at first that the Bible was wrong, but it is just because I know for a fact that I learn from the hymns, and the hymns are one of the sources that our church depend on for keeping its tradi…
