  • DO NOT DO IT DURING THE LITURGY.
  • Mina 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 …
  • I used to chant it with Daniel. Now that I understand better that this is the praise that only the youth chanted, I follow the text.
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=12384.msg145094#msg145094 date=1316804804] 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.
  • Alitos is not written in the kolagy but was recorded by the HICS in 1971.
  • [quote author=minatasgeel link=topic=12384.msg145065#msg145065 date=1316751897] Unworthy1, take it easy......there are many mistakes on the text library and i am willing to fix. [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12384.msg145044#msg145044 date=13167…
  • Yes. The verb tense is not correct within the context of the verse.
  • [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=12384.msg145047#msg145047 date=1316738170] 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 …
  • [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=12384.msg145045#msg145045 date=1316737443] [quote author=imikhail link=topic=12384.msg145042#msg145042 date=1316737165] I will dedicate this thread to correcting the Coptic text that is found either here on tasbeha…
  • The second section in the Saturday Tadakeya: The current text: Hwc ma`nselet `nattako@ `api`P=n=a =e=;=u `i `ejw@ oujom `nte vy`et[oci@ e;na`erqyibi `ero Maria http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/view/359 The red text should be ac`erqyibi
  • [quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=12378.msg144968#msg144968 date=1316581780] 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. The…
  • [quote author=george95899 link=topic=12160.msg144938#msg144938 date=1316495734] The first thing that hit me as I read this post is the icon of the Hospitality of Abraham. The actual subject of the icon is based on the Biblical story about the vis…
  • But we need to realize there's a fine line between veneration and unconsciously fabricating facts motivated by cult-like blind devotion. We see this happening a lot in Kiahk praises. Can you please elaborate?
  • afcotten needs something after it like "from our sins" afcoti `mmon can stand on its own.
  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12160.msg144886#msg144886 date=1316446641] Kephas and imikhail, Sorry I didn't reply before. While I really like your spiritual interpretation of this angelic hierarchy of Michael, Gabriel and Raphael, and it's r…
  • [quote author=kmeka001 link=topic=12160.msg144877#msg144877 date=1316414852] 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 …
