I know about St. Athanasius' list from his 39th Paschal letter in 367. It is mentioned in the article I linked to you. As the article I linked to states:

Old Bohairic is the authentic and well documented pronunciation of the Coptic language.

I was under the impression that it wasn't until the Council of Carthage in 419AD that a formal canon was laid out. I understand that there w…

Imilkhail, I was querying the date of the manuscript you referenced. You suggestef 85ad but the wiki article says 200 ad. There is a difference.

Where is the confusion? I'm not confused. Are you?
I'm merely saying that I personally do not feel that St. Paul composed Hebrews. I'm not sure why this i…

While I appreciate your input, I have noted earlier that there has been debate about the authorship of Hebrews for the first 4 centuries of the …

Perhaps. However, you can agree that St. Mary was full of Grace, a quality no other human possess. The reason was because she was the epitome of humility an…

Kephas,
You may have taken my question out of context. Grace over sin is different than honor.
My question is about sinlessness. We all have received the grace not to sin, but it is up to each of us on how to deal with tnst grace.
If we say that …
The belief of the Church, and that is explained by Fr. Tadrous, is that Saint Mary became sinless after the dwelling of the Holy Spirit in her, the overshadowing of the Father and the conception of the Son for after that much grace, one simply canno…

If the phrase "modern-day" is the only thing keeping you guys from looking more into this, then chuck it. This has been questioned since the 3rd century. The basis …
Most modern-day historians are uncertain of who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews, but they also seem to be in agreement that the author isn't St. Paul.
The key word here is modern-day. We are a Traditional Church receiving our faith from the Fathers…
The Bible is very clear on the issue of sin:
Romans 3:23 NKJV
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God
I have stated this before and I will stat it again: The Bible speaks in absolute terms and when it says all it means all. Thus, it…
Fr. Tadros' comments seem inconclusive, he presents a few quotes in support of the idea that St. Mary was sinless (2 of which are ambiguous). Even more startling is the fact that those who opposed to this view are giants in the Coptic OC (Irenaeus, …

As I said earlier, we worship God, not our languages and cultures. It is a sin to create the idol of Coptic and worship it.
We worship God through the heritage we received from our Fathers
The first case ophadece.
It is against the Coptic rite to mix liturgies. Fir example if the priest starts with the Basil liturgy, then he cannot pray Gregorian later on. Yes, I know this does happen, but I am just stating the correct rite.

I see a confusion of issues in this thread and I think it is due to lack of understanding of the Coptic heritage.
There is a difference between liturgical language and communicative language. By default 2nd, 3rd, .. generations will speak the langu…
