Again, what a language should be is irrelevant. Do you want references for that too? Please, any references would help.
-
Why don't you get us the actual reference where Fr Shenouda said this? For copyright issues I cannot quote you the thesis. However, Fr. Shenouda wrote two books that have some of his thesis research which I listed in an earlier post. Also check t…

/ui/ and /y/ are gliding letters in English. Coptic only has "ou" and "i" and "b" as gliding phonemes Who said that? can you please give me a list of the English gliding letters?
-
Are you really honest with yourself and others when you claim that the gliding y is an inconsistency? Obviously, you're not understanding what I am saying. There are gliding vowels in Coptic, you just transliterated the ones that are not. There's t…

I have given you references to numerous books on Google. I have given you examples from the Coptic Encyclopedia. You have given absolutely no references. I am not sure what references mean in your own mind. Tell me if the following do meet your def…

Hiteni evshee (or Hidani awka) means through the prayers Hitoo evshi (or hidano awka) means through their prayers (referring to the prayers of the saints we just mentioned)

St. Ambrose seems to think that there were people present who did not see the Spirit. If the Spirit were physically tangible, would not everyone present have seen Him? I read St. Ambrose excerpt in a different way. In any case this is a topic that n…

Only the Son was ever truly tangible and could be handled. I beg to differ. Reading the passages about baptism, it is clear that the Holy Spirit was tangible. Matthew 3:16 NKJV When He had been baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water;…

So you're wrong to use the word 'never'. (Once again, this is not regarding the OP, this is a separate discussion entirely. Please, provide examples where the Church had instructed her children to break the rules.
-
The examples provided earlier give examples where the rules of fasting are broken for the salvation of another. The rules were broken. Full stop. I think you are confusing two issues: The first is a personal choice when one person breaks the rule f…

If I am following your argument correectly, you say the vision that Daniel saw is basis for depicting the Father. What I am saying is the Father never took a form and appeared to men in a manner equivalent to that of the Son nor of the Holy Spirit.…

The icon is a personification of the character being depicted. The Father was never personified, thus no depiction.

There is absolutely nothing exist that might justify breaking God's commandment There is nothing out there that may lead the Church to break her rules.

I was wondering if someone can tell me about what to do when holding the candle, the veil, and the cross before and during communion. Before receiving communion: Stand on left of the altar (left of the priest) till receiving communion. After recei…

[quote author=Unworthy1 link=topic=11829.msg141447#msg141447 date=1310604832] Let's not turn this thread into a discussion of judgment. But when you throw out a term, define it and how you are using it. Lest we go back and forth, not realizing tha…

[quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=11829.msg141439#msg141439 date=1310597340] Thank you markh113. This is exactly what I was trying to say. Maybe another example will help. There was a question on another forum about walking on the altar with shoes…

Yes that church may have done something inappropriate, and I personally feel that it should not have served the fetari food...but to pass judgement on it is not right; passing judgement, no matter what the circumstance, is wrong. I'd just like to po…

Wait. The Phi is pronounced as B now? Dear Aegyptian, In all languages, a letter may have different sounds. Coptic is not an exception. So, the answer to your question is: yes the Phi can be either a b or f. However, Aryan Afendi changed it to on…

Thanks ophadece for the comment. Now, I know what Reminkimi is referring to. "Who Knows" is pronounced beeyatcown "Who does not know" is pronounced bee'atcown there is very clear difference for those who know the language.

Again, I am not advocating breaking rules or stealing. All I am saying is that we should not judge There are times when judgment is appropriate.
-
Let me try to get my point across another way. Is it or is it not right to encourage someone to steal under any circumstances ever? The obvious answer is of course it is not right to help someone steal. However, there could be a situation where a sp…

everyone bases OB pronunciation on observations from certain manuscripts that wrote Arabic in Coptic letters, or Coptic in Arabic letters. These are still observations and many have based their pronunciation of OB exclusively on these manuscripts. …

I don't think Copts of the 19th century were educated enough to know the difference. Again, are you suggesting that Copts now are fluent in Coptic through Arian's invention?
