  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=11442.msg137957#msg137957 date=1305441886] There is no full Coptic Old Testament. The Old Testament is about 75% complete in Bohairic, 40% in Sahidic, and less in Fayummic and Akhmimic. See Takla, Hany, "Introductio…
  • Great liturgy with him here in EB. Someone was recording it so I'm sure it will be online. Amazing liturgy. Oh and mina, we did a lot more than Shere el kabira  :P :P
  • But what is the difference between having incense burning on a table and swinging a censer? Aren't you still offering incense?

  • God gave us free will period. We have the ability to make our own choices in any situation.  Our free will is not limited so the answer to your question is Yes.
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=11439.msg137936#msg137936 date=1305414129] Incense is a sacrifice.  Priests are the only ones to offer sacrifice. Strangely,  Coptic deacons can cense in Jerusalem, but in no other jurisdiction of the Coptic …

  • [quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=11439.msg137916#msg137916 date=1305398226] [quote author=copticuser20 link=topic=11439.msg137914#msg137914 date=1305396936] Why are priests the only people who can cense? Why can Archdeacons give the blood but no…

  • [quote author=henrik.hank link=topic=11437.msg137893#msg137893 date=1305384316] Pray that I will find a christianity that is both catholic and orthodox!!! [/quote] Ok. I will also pray that God directs you into the right direction and gives you some…
  • I still don't understand why you are asking your question! Are you trying to find an excuse for yourself to not join the church?
  • [quote author=ilovesaintmark link=topic=10994.msg137886#msg137886 date=1305377506] I've attended some during the Great Lent, but sadly, I do not have any recordings. Fr. Michael has the sweetest heart. [/quote] Indeed he does. His liturgies are a…
  • [quote author=henrik.hank link=topic=11432.msg137883#msg137883 date=1305374846] Nofri! the coptic church talks about things happening in Egypt but not so much about things happening here in Europe. Does this mean that you are not a church for Europe…
  • Whether or not there are doves or lights, it is obvious that God and the saints are with them there.
  • Please pray that I do well on my AP Biology exam tomorrow and everyone that takes it.
  • My Servant's prep teacher told us that once one thing happens (I think the appearance of the Anti-Christ), there will be a known time when the end will come ( i think he said 3 years and a few months/days). So we may have a chance to prepare for Jud…

  • I got mine 9 years ago at Pope Kyrillos Monastery. You can get it in the US as well but not the traditional ones. People are going from these traditional ones: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=off&q=coptic+tatoo&bav=on.2,or.r_gc…
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=11343.msg136922#msg136922 date=1304147839] No dear kmeka, I disagree. In major Lordly feasts you don't say the whole commemoration in tasbeha, and that's a rite in itself. I don't know the purpose though, but I gues…
  • [quote author=Κηφᾶς link=topic=11334.msg136894#msg136894 date=1304118254] + Irini nem ehmot, No. A fake apparition will not lead people closer to God. On the contrary, it shows how shallow a person's faith is, that they rely on miracles instead of …
  • But this is where we start adding and changing the traditions and rules of the church. If there was no rule for abuse, then I would think the fathers did not see it as an acceptable reason for divorce. And I am sure abuse was much worse back then si…

  • Why not believe it? Even if the devil is trying to play a trick on us....isn't he only increasing our faith and belief and hope in God?
  • [quote author=imikhail link=topic=11331.msg136660#msg136660 date=1303940456] In the Coptic Church there is no divorces unless there is an adultery. Period. [/quote] So you are saying every couple divorced had someone that committed adultery?
  • but it's getting unorthodox. i am not a marriage expert or anything but i am pretty sure that every divorce can be avoided if both people grow up shwaya. i feel like the Orthodox church is very slowly morphing into the Catholic church....

  • Im not sure if this is correct or not but Jesus is yelling Mary to say that to the diciples and here are quotes around the sentence so it would make sense if it was worded like that.
  • Of course. Why doesn't the world do anything. It is clearly stated in the news that Muslims are rioting because there is a Coptic Governor. Doesn't something seem hmm... unfair or something??!!! Doesn't the United States get into the rest of the w…
