hi, i don't know if this is what you are looking for (i know nothing about computers and my level of coptic is only slightly less than nothing).a poster called nadermansi (hi to you if you are still around), posted something here:https://tasbeha.org…

pls delete the bot post (the blue words are a hyperlink that lead to a web page where the bot wants you to spend money)

wow, thanks for that, i have seen both saint movies and they are awesome, may their prayers be with us :)

people are generally nicer in real life than on forums.avoid forums!(this one is not too bad though ;) )please come and visit the lovely orthodox church, and if (and i hope and pray you don't) you have a negative experience, please try again in a di…

middled aged lady here - can you translate what you mean by 'discord'?in simple english it means a lack of harmony; i assume there is a new computer meaning for it. when i was growing up, 'wicked' meant 'really awesome' - it is amusing how words cha…

welcome, kransaalwyn :)i am in uk, so can't comment about african americans.most people in the coptic church are (obviously) african, but there are a few who think that skin colour is relevant somehow and that paler africans are superior to darker a…

i have no experience of the verse above, i will leave it for my friends above, who are more knowlegeable than me, to comment. is abouna bishoy kamel an official saint now?that is nice, he was a shining example of humility and service.:)
-
this is great.i also want to add that many monks and nuns do not have university degrees.for those people who go to work after school or who do voluntary work, the idea is that the person learns useful skills in life and doesn't just go to the monas…

i have looked at your link and realise now that he is the one we know in the coptic orthodox church as saint philoxenus of mabbug.he is listed as a saint in 'A Panoramic View of Patristics in the First Six Centuries – Fr. Tadros Y Malaty' and he wro…
-

see here:https://tasbeha.org/community/discussion/17105/coptic-unicode-font-why-how-to-display-correctly-on-screen
-
the new font looks a bit square and spiky and not round and swirly like the 'cs avva shenouda' font.but i think it looks more like the ancient inscriptions i have seen, so I will have to get used to it!my lessons were in the swirly font, so my brain…

the second question is difficult (i haven't read that much) but as for the first, adam was sinless untill he chose to sin.i don't know if he was getting old, maybe others can answer that.(i didn't meet him, i am old but not as old as him, ha ha!) ou…

it is a new building for the hall next to our old church.i live in britain :)

hi i am a sis not a bro:-)i just like saint matthias, so used a male saint as my avatar. so you were looking for the online version of father samuel's book - i don't think there is one.also a nice lady in my local bookshop looked it up for me - it i…
-
that is the online version, bro - download and enjoy!thanks to john (whose saint are commemorated today - saint john the short - and tomorrow saint rewis).maybe john was born exactly at midnight so he got names from both days! ;)happy name day :)
-

-
thanks for recommendation. i think the author is a priest or deacon (pls correct me, canadian copt) in the indian orthodox church.did u know that you can buy boooks from ordinary book shops if yu give them the code?most will order it for you so you …
-
wow, thanks for that, it is a great resource, may God reward you:)

hi jehan.pagans (who worship lots of different spirits) think that when a person dies, that person's spirit becomes a 'ghost' that can wander around the earth and scare people. but this is not true. Christians do not believe in ghosts.what really ha…

hi yoan, i had loads of trouble with compatability when i used to use a mac, although the function of macs is probably superior, there is a big compatability problem.now i use a very cheap lenovo laptop with M word, and everything works fine. naderm…

ahlan wa sahlan, great to hear that - hope the admins find time to upload your liturgies, what language are they in?you can find replies by loging in here - you can probably get notifications too, but i will leave it for someone who is more technica…
-
dear yoan, i think you have to keep researching till you are about 95 years old for that one! i have been following the debate on this website for 14 years and it never ends! ophadece, great to 'see' you, i expect this is the practice in many church…
-
maybe it was.or maybe he was just the lead deacon and he had the microphone!:p;) i say this (being a bit cheeky) as i am used to very small numbers at the night praises and i often go to one of the early liturgies so i have seen what happens with sm…
