  • [quote author=martinostavro link=topic=8673.msg109103#msg109103 date=1263076865] i have been consistently noticing that, religion is misrepresented or not represented in media. how does this effect us as a community of believers. the media truly imp…
  • I don't know how much it wood take for us, Copts, to learn that NO ONE WILL DO ANYTHING US!!! Not America, not the UN, not anyone.........fixing a problem like this one needs to be done WITHIN Egypt. Otherwise we are just wasting time and effort.
  • [quote author=hottchico link=topic=8661.msg109046#msg109046 date=1262910728] Here's Anba Youssef's answer: ... When we say in the Thursday's Theotokia "For He who was born is God, Born without suffering from the Father; He was also born according to…
  • [quote author=PaNo5 link=topic=8661.msg109040#msg109040 date=1262900749] As the title says, Did Virgin Mary gave birth to our Lord with no pain? Because my school teacher told me so and I was wondering why? I responded that God already gave the puni…

  • [quote author=childoforthodoxy link=topic=4474.msg108825#msg108825 date=1262334525] I respectfully disagree with the idea that most hymns were not written by clergy men or great scholars; to offer a few quick known examples, it is stipulated that Om…
  • Childoforthodoxy, you raise up a great point; the important differentiation in all these hymns. Actually it's one of the important (maybe the MOST important) matter when it comes to reviewing all these kiahk hymns (mainly in the arabic because the E…
  • I have to agree with you guys to certain extant. First, to clear up the "Sofonios" part; the word was probably written this way to rhyme in some specific hymns and were used in other just because the word spread that fast. The prophecy: "That Jesus…
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=8607.msg108768#msg108768 date=1262109786] Hi, I just got this email that I'm posting on here as it is relevant to this topic: Tsunami: Where was God? http://www.channel4.com/programmes/tsunami-where-was-god/4od#30…
  • i think this refers to changing the Religion/Belief record on the ID to Christian (or muslim). Once you do an ID and state a religion, you cannot change it in Egypt. Many have cases now against this to change "Muslim" to "Christian" and lost and i t…

  • [quote author=bkovacs link=topic=8487.msg108617#msg108617 date=1261506412] These were great videos to watch. One thing that Fr Sleman did not mentioned though was that most Bibles do not include the complete canon of scripture. So your technically n…
  • this video was done by CTV explaining the whole story. It is in arabic though. They have some of the apparition video probably with better quality. i I also know that Aghapy TV did something. I think that only proves that this is not a joke as we…
  • [quote author=SuperMAN(BAM) link=topic=8596.msg108521#msg108521 date=1261163362] it was to my understanding... I was always taught by monks and priests in the monasteries that the term for it in Arabic is "samy" meaning lofty or of a lot of worth...…
  • Simply STOP SINNING. Of course it's easier said than done but it is the first step to true repentance.
  • [quote author=mnc_hnn link=topic=8587.msg108456#msg108456 date=1260917793] it seems everyone who was into Tasbeha.org when i signed up no longer log on. i feel quite dead actually. Since I first found this website so many things have changed..I don'…

  • [quote author=michaely93 link=topic=8582.msg108387#msg108387 date=1260751372] i believe that it's easier to become closer to God if you're a clergyman. as a clergyman, that is your job, to get closer to God with every breath you take. as a regular c…

  • [quote author=sodr2 link=topic=8570.msg108364#msg108364 date=1260723842] whats kiahk lol  :-[ i know kahk lol [/quote] "Kiahk" is the 4th coptic month (in the coptic calendar of the martyrs). it started last Thursday. Kiahk 29th is the Nativity.
  • in kiahk, midnight praises are very special. there are to much extra things that are said. on each Hoos and Theotokia there are hymns, psalies, expositions. so the tasbeha will take a lot more time than it would usually take on a normal day. this wa…

  • What do you mean translate?! The meaning of the Coptic is right there in English and Arabic next to it.

  • there are many parts to tasbeha. quick info: the introduction is tentheno, psalm 118(119) the intro of midnight prayer from agpeya. The hooses are from the Bible (with the change of dividing them into hymnal parts and refrains. aripsalin is a psali …
  • I think a simple answer would be that she was still alive at that point of time. the apostles did not venerate each other when they were alive. another thing that happened that i think have to do with this, her body was taken up. why would that hap…
