I appreciate your diligence in trying to justify the addition of Daniel in Ecmou epshoyce of the third canticle.
However, in your justification you have assumed that hymns are different than the scriptures and therefore we are at liberty to …

Guys give me some time please till tomorrow. I'd like to join in. I'll do some research and be on a computer but I guess it should be 'cna rather than etna I.e. future tens…
I appreciate all the input especially from Reminkimi.
What stands out in this discussion so far is that we need to understand what we are saying in Coptic. I am hoping that this thread will encourage people to learn Coptic and truly pray with it in…
The third canticle is the praise of the three saintly children while they were in the fiery furnace. Daniel was not in the fiery furnace. That is why his name is not included.

I was speaking with one of the brilliant minds of our day in the Coptic language about attempts to correct various texts. I won't say who this teacher is, but he reminded …

I have been in a few discussions lately with people who criticize (for lack of a better word) our church for not doing enough missionary work.
I am interested in your th…
I'm not saying there isn't some sort of hierarchy of honor for the archangels. But this honor hierarchy was intentionally vague in scriptures and patristics. So vague that for all intensive purposes, there really isn't a hierarchy in practice. Howev…
I do tend to believe that not all angels are equal. The angels are more like an army with superiors and a "head angel" that is above his "subordinates" like a hierarchy. The title "archangel" gives us the sense that there is a true hierarchy.

This may not be related to the doxology for the trinity but I was wondering if there was a hiten for the Cherubim and the Seraphim? Since there is a doxology for them, I'm …
