is he still alive? you can maybe write to him.I wrote to a website owner who translates texts once and she wrote back!also i wrote to a priest who publishes orthodox books to ask for permission to modernise the english in one of the book chapters an…
i don't know but i know the uk midcopts group as i was part of the diocese for 7 months about 13 years ago (was working in the area) - there are some wonderful servants there.if you zoom in on that page, you see that the quote is from 'understanding…
i always assumed it was because we love to sing extra during kiahk and it has a cool tune.;)
but probably there is a better reason than this!it is maybe because we are priasing God extra because of the incarnation of our Lord Jesus Christ. it is a v…
wow, that is quite complex and clever!i think it is good to have a shorter version, and i plan to look at the longer versions as well when i have time so i understand it in more depth (it is a while since i did so much maths!)
the paradise of the fathers (bustan al rohban) is here (towards the top of the page):https://www.ecatholic2000.com/athanasius/untitled-208.shtmli don't know if that is what you are looking for.may God help you find it :-)
dear coptic zealot,your links indicate that you have a problem with this.if you would like to discuss this in detail, please send a personal message and i will answer your points.this is what i will say publically:our church is inviting other groups…
there is so much to write but to save a multitude of words i would say that we honour people by pointing out their virtues (good habits) to others.if they hurt us, it is ok to tell them, this helps them grow spiritually.we should not uncover other p…
grace and peace, i am sending a personal message.if i ask anything too personal in it, feel free to skip that question and move to the next.it is now 17 years since i joined the orthodox church (yay!) so i may have some useful tips.if anyone else wa…
may God give you peace.i have just 2 tips - don't rush into anything (see direct message)do go to the orthodox church and prayi echo my brother's prayer for you (i have met ophadece in real life!)may God be with you and give you grace.
aah, i have chatted with bots before. a bit embarassing but probably useful for practicing communication!
as for the main topic, i like kerlos' link - it even has the coptic written in arabic :)
i had a little message exchange with daniel kyrillos and we think that the writers were using the term as the greek philosophers (e.g. plato) used it, not in the gnostic sense.so that is the same conclusion as yours.
great question.(very) simple answer:there are 2 types of bowing down to God.1. worshiping God - can do it when entering church, when arriving home, when waking in the morning and saying 'hi' to God, basically at any time, whether fasting or not.we c…
hi sis, i will write you a personal message, but here are some general principles:1. life (whether single, married or monastic) is a place where you can prepare for heaven.there are evil forces to resist (temptation to sin, to despair etc.) and bles…
i don't think anyone is still active from the discussion!you cd send a personal message to either of the minas who are good at hymns (one is an admin) - minatasgeel
hi daniel kyrillos, pls send me a PM with details of where it is in songs (i think it is better to discuss off the main forum).i know that the gnostic concept of it is certainly not orthodox.thanks a lot,mabsoota:)
ah, maybe it is a translation problem.there is certainly no more sacrifice, our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ died and resurrected once only. but saint paul says in the letter to the hebrews, chapter 7, verse 25:therefore He is also able to save to …
for the subtitles, click on the 'watch on you tube' link after clicking on the link.that way you can play it with the sound off if you need to :)you also get free adverts (today i got the american chinese ballet advert)
interesting. i would go along with some of that, but ceasing to be human seems to be a bit extreme. i think the standard orthodox position would not agree with that.but i don't have a theology degree, i have just done a few courses for church servan…
that is very clear.it is beyond my theological level to comment further though!i have taken Holy Communion in the armenian orthodox church in london, it was a lovely visit :)
