Dear minagir, On another website, and I think it is coptichymns.net there is a cantor or a deacon called Paul Samaan, if I remember rightly who recorded the hymns for the Annunciation Rites. I wonder if it is recorded by Ibrahim Ayad, or HICS, or no…
-
Dear minagir, I mean on other websites there is a section for Annunciation Hymns, unlike tasbeha.org, where there is no link to Annunciation hymns. Do we not have these hymns at all on tasbeha.org, or do we have them under other sections? If we don'…

Thank you very much minagir, and jydeacon for the clarificaiton. God bless you and mention me in your prayers

Dear servantofJesus, I completely agree with you. Correct me if I am wrong. I think this is exactly what the black metal music groups do, as I got from different sources that they themselves are blasphemers and satan worshippers, isn't that right? G…

Dear all, Yes our words make sense, but it will be very interesting to know in more depth minagir's friend's experience. Having said that, I think I agree with orthodox11, because I think that is what people try to do: defy the word of God, maybe c…

Dear Hizz_child and all, We don't want to convert this topic into a medical one, plus I am not specialised in this type of disorders as I said before. But let me tell you what my understanding is. Coffee in the case of ADHD is A CURE. It is taken be…

Dear minagir, Yes, I heard the same thing. I don't know the origin, nor do I imagine that anyone on earth can give us an explanation why some stupid people came up with that idea! God bless you and mention me in your prayers
-
Dear vassilios, How on earth can I convince you to believe me now, that I was trying to say exactly what you said. Sorry if I came across as opposing you by mentioning this verse, but you even put it in a nicer way. Yes, I agree we all should check …

Dear vassilios, Thanks for your quick reply. God bless you and mention me in your prayers

Dear all, Just few points, as I am not really specialised in this type of disorders. Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) is not classified into acute or chronic conditions, as it is one of those conditions that occur through development, a…

Dear all, Let me take this opportunity to thank Safaa and Iqbal very much for their precise and concise clarification of these things. Yes, these things are pretty confusing, and sometimes very much so. But it is clear now, we partake the Communion …

Dear all, I heard this before, and as having lived in Egypt for 27 years I know this fact: this is a kind of a common "STUPID" conviction that has no origin, no basis, and no meaning, except that some people (maybe Muslims or others) tried to dissua…
-
Dear vassilios, I mentioned the verse "if meat causes my brother to stumble, I will not eat meat" to give excuses to that guy: with all due respect, I agree with you that he is rather less-educated and motakhalif, and I understand the etiquette in F…
-
Dear mikeforjesus, Yes God speaks through priests, but that doesn't mean that the priests are faultless. They sometimes say wrong things, but how God works is that He uses even the wrong information for our good. About your point, yes Attention Defi…

Dear minagir, and orthodox11, Thanks for clarifying. I think I do believe in this. God bless you and mention me in your prayers
-
Thank you dear Safaa: you returned my dignity... ;D Just joking. Thank you very much for clarifying the things with concrete examples, and concurrent as well. God bless you all and mention me in your prayers
-
Dear all, Was St. Mary sinless? God bless you all and mention me in your prayers
-
Thank you dear Anglian. Well, now, as we all surely know, the bottomline is: "if meat causes my brother to stumble I will never eat meat". Let's all try our best to give respect to one another, and please remind me always of this. God bless you all …

Dear all, I am sorry I missed the topic for a while. I actually posted my question, and then forgot the whole about it: how careless! :) I wanted to divert the course of the topic a bit thinking that all of you would agree with me, and now I found …
-
Dear all, Thanks for the topic, and the debates. Great for us all to learn. I just want to stress out on some points: some might have already been mentioned, and some I come up with. As I know where most of the people discussing this topic, and whe…
-
Dear minagir, Thank you very much for clarifying this to me. If you know me better, you will find me a very lazy deacon. I didn't attend Matins on the Pentecost Day, so I assume they probably did the procession and sang Khristos Analempsis. Your exp…
-
Dear all, May I divert the course of this topic a bit, and ask your opinions about this question: Do we have the Holy Spirit inside us or not? What I believe is that we do not, or we would have become like Jesus Christ (the only human being to have …

Dear davidschanter, Through resurrection, God opened the gates of Hades, and let His people out, releasing them from the slavery of death, and giving them eternal life, and this is what the hymn says. The question about paradise and heaven is a very…

Dear bentbabayassou', I think you should take both of these pieces of advice, and put them together, working them for the best for yourself. Like baladoos said: think of your uncle as having departed only and that one day, not only yourself, or myse…
-
Thank you hos erof, I think stupid arguments (dealing with Egyptians) are too many to be counted when it comes to rites when to sing certain hymns. I think this also goes for "melismatic keryelyeson", and long "ebouro", as I think both hymns are ann…
-
Dear all, Strongly agree with shnoda. I don't think anyone has got another opinion; do you? God bless you all and mention me in your prayers
-
Dear minagir, Thank you very much for the clarification. I know now where the rites stand, and where the whole church stands on that matter. I am very grateful to orthodox11 as well, who told me the difference between the different types of offering…

Dear hoserof, Thanks very much for the link; I find it very useful actually but can't promise to read it all through right now. God bless you and mention me in your prayers

Dear minagir, I agree with you. That means that they most probably imporvise things which are not ritually correct. Thanks for your reply to me. God bless you and mention me in your prayers
