Here are the terms used for the liturgy service: Liturgy: Means any public service, but the word had been set aside to designate the Divine Liturgy service. Kodas: From the Hebrew word Kodashim or Kodoshim meaning Holy Things. Anaphora: Greek wo…

Or Abba Bawla in the Old Bohairic pronunciation.

[quote author=CopticFighter link=topic=11666.msg141879#msg141879 date=1311561169] Yes, all the fasts including Wednesdays and Fridays. Does this mean even on annual days where there is no fast, e.g. from Apostle's Feast up until Saint Mary's Fast? […

Egypt can go to hell for all I care, I dont even like the country, nor the people. If this is your position then you have put yourself as an enemy to God because He said: "Blessed is Egypt My people"

I can understand that it CANNOT evangelize in Egypt, but even in European countries, it doesnt even bother to attract anyone OTHER THAN Egyptians. ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE. If you do not know about something, do not make a general statement. We have l…

I can also say that the Theotokos overcame her sinful nature through God's grace. I guess what I am trying to say is the term "sinful nature" is a biblical one and is not playing of words as lightning suggested. Our nature is a fallen one yet thro…

[quote author=lightening link=topic=9585.msg141818#msg141818 date=1311462302] [quote author=Meena_Ameen link=topic=9585.msg141156#msg141156 date=1310251101] In Pope Shenouda's Book Adam and Eve he says: what we inherit or what is transmitted to us …

This whole discussion is ridiculous!!!!!!! Islam must be the right faith since God blesses it with enough females that every male can have 4 females. ;D

[quote author=Anubis link=topic=11899.msg141798#msg141798 date=1311449497] I've read your responses and I think I need to clarify something since they seem to be off-topic. I do not beleive that the Coptic church in America is more spiritual than t…

there is no difference between Catholics and Orthodox if Catholic sacraments are considered valid We have established that faith originates by what has been written in the Bible. The difference between the Orthodox and the Catholics is that Cathol…

I do not think you can define a church or a faith with pen and paper This is absolutely wrong. God wrote Moses the commencements on tablets. The Bible is a collection of written books that defined the faith in God and salvation. Your Christian be…

think the Coptic church is not the true church because I cannot find a wife in it. God is not willing to give me a wife there because he wants me out. I am not following this logic. Are you saying you cannot marry in the Coptic Church because i…

And lets assume that out of our bad behavior these things are taken away from us; does that not contradict the fact that God is merciful, forgiving, and loving? Why would he take away something that has brought us closer to him in the first place? T…

Your question assumes that it was God who gave and it was God who took. This is not usually the case. Sometimes, we force ourselves in situations that may seem to us good and let our emotions control us, but what we chose may not be the best for us…

Thanks Fr. Peter for the quick response. There are other words used in the Coptic Church .. but before sharing them, I like to hear from the Tasbeha forum.

Any sacrament in the Church has to be administered by a priest because it is performed through the calling of the Holy Spirit. This is the function of the priest. A person who says that he can perform a sacrament of the church without a priest puts…

Tell him that there is a difference between confession and repentance. Yes, he needs to do what he is doing. It is commendable to ask God's forgiveness and is the first step towards having God forgiving us our sins. However, after repentance comes c…

The argument of not needing a mediator between the confessor and God is not new and is not really the reason for not confessing. The real reason is pride. People often feel embarrassed in front of Abouna and want to keep their good image. Your fri…

It is a type of diet.

Anti Semeitism is disgraceful. It is against Christianity to hate anybody. Christianity teaches love and peace toward those who hate us. Let us not forget that the Jews are a blessing to all of the Gentiles and God still loves them and has a plan…

One source that has written about this union is: Bulletin of Mari Mena 1952 page 52 by Yassa Abd Al Messih (A page from the History of Copts)

ISLM, Do not judge ... just joking :D

I will make just few comments. The icon represents a presence of the depicted character. The purpose is to personify the character. The Son was present with us and was seen. The Holy Spirit is present with us and in us and was seen. The Son is …

Thanks ophadece.

The long shara is annual so it could be prayed anytime.

This is a great suggestion Fr. Peter. Does anyone know how to display them on this forum?

You're right that David got permission from the priests to partake of the showbread, but isn't that technically going against God's laws? No, it is not. The priest gave "absolution" to David to eat from the showbread. "For the lips of a priest shou…

It is very difficult to transliterate Coptic to show exactly how a word may sound. This adds confusion to the discussion like the one we are having here. Does anyone have suggestions?

Bohairic Coptic took it form after the Arab invasion. Find me any other reference to say otherwise. Mr. Reminkimi Our discussion here is not about when Coptic Bohairic started. Rather, which sounds of the Coptic Bohairic are authentic. Let me go o…
