Before retiring to sleep, make sure that you pray the psalms. When you are actually on bed to sleep and after you close your eyes, envision the crucifix with Christ on it thanking Him for His deep love

The hymn is primarily a Greek hymn as it has many Greek words mixed with Coptic in Greek structure..

I believe that salvation is found in the Church. What I also believe is that we know the visible boundary of the Church, but we do not know the invisible boundary of the Church. We cannot say who is in the Church and who is not. There are those who…

Through baptism we gain the new nature that is essential for our the means of attaining incorruptibility. We receive the grace of the Holy Spirit in the Sacrament of Chrismation which allows us to bear the fruits of the Spirit and keep the new natur…

Once again, I have illustrated the efficacy of baptism above. In light of that, St. Paul teaches us to 'work out our own salvation'. We have a synergistic relationship with God. We work out our salvation in synergy with God's grace. One does not tr…

I haven't confused anything. You just don't understand a word I'm saying. Before the Fall: There was no Death (be it spiritual death of physical death). After the Fall: Death entered into the world (both types of death, spiritual death and physical…

I believe the word you are looking for is 'deduced'. No. The word I want to use is 'deducted'. Baptism changes man in that it washes away their sin, it opens the doors to the kingdom of Heaven, it grants us adoption as children of God and it is …

Copto-Arabic does not necessarily mean Arabic words borrowed from Coptic or vise versa. It is a literary genre that Arabists use to describe Christian Arabic writings in Egypt. They also use Christian Arabic writings but this doesn't distinguish bet…

Bright Saturday is a vigil that according to the original right starts at midnight and ends before sunset (around 5:00 pm). So to cover this time, the Church put special hymns, additions to the tasbeha. As to saying these additions (like awlojida […

If there is a noun after bai then the other bai has to be used as ophadece indicated. If there is an adjective after bai then there there is no need for the other bai. So in the example of this thread "bai kosmos" the other bai has to be used.
