In the early 70's in the infancy of the Papacy of the Righteous Pope Shenouda III, it was declared a sin. Moreover, priests were banned from smoking. Believe it or not, there were priests that smoked. After this declaration, all priests were requ…

Minagir, spoke on my behalf well. He has my thoughts from previous posts. I just really like the poetic aspect of the the KJV. For some reason, I even find it easier to memorize the verses than in other versions--I do not know why. Just my own p…

Send a PM to minagir, he should have what you need.

I believe you may find him easier relative to his proper name: Onophrius.

Send a PM to minagir he can help you.

Don't forget Pope Shenouda III--please, I beg everyone to remember him--especially.

I learned it from a simple priest who used to help me with learning how to pray. I also have on the list, those 'who have done me wrong'. My list is also setup similar to a categorization system: family, friends, clergy that I know, Pope Shenouda…

There are several factors that are obvious but not being stated: a. youth group leaders are being tainted, and they are introducing these hymns. b. they do not show enough leadership and example to thwart the suggestions of using these hymns. c.…

Zoxsasi, I want to nominate you as the "Defender of the Faith". I think I can just change your signature at the bottom of your posts, and add my name, and it would be as if it came from my own mouth.

It's been our tradition from the time we were living in Shoubra/Cairo. In my family, each one of our homes has one. Sadly, there are homes where you will not find a Cross or a Holy Bible, and there is no area reserved for prayer for the entire fam…

All different spices and aromatic dried herbs.

Do you contribute to the Church and the Poor with the same enthusiasm? Is it an obsession? How many do you have? How many do you need? --You do not have to answer, but I think you have the answer already.

Zoxsasi, You are one fiery young lady. You said word for word what I think and say. I did not know I had a twin in Europe. I appreciate your words--well said.

Our Patriarchs were either paying money to save our people, negotiating, or taking some sort of punishment. That is the constant theme. With the presence of Napoleon there were efforts to try to establish a Latin Catholic presence and to elevate t…

I see your points: Fr. Peter and Ioannes. The thing that stumps in my mind is the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus where the Gospel is specific that they went directly to their places of waiting. How would one put this into perspective relative …

My earlier comments were crass, yet true. There are the Rulers in Primal position and others on the middle management level. The persecution of the Coptic people has been incessant. The Europeans worked with middle management to get things done t…

BTW, there was no Yankee doodle coming to Cairo, riding on a camel.

We were being persecuted and murdered by the muslim rulers, no different than the 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th, 20th, and 21st centuries. The 18th and 19th centuries being the reference point from which you made inq…

Amen. Amen. Amen. Fr. Peter. My sentiments exactly.

gregorythesinner, It is completely unfair and incorrect to put the Ethiopian and African expression in worship in the same realm as the charismatic "mumbo jumbo" [to quote Ioannes].
-
Servant33, I also do not appreciate the misuse of the Mother of God. I do not like her name being dragged through the mud. I do not appreciate a disingenuine person claiming some magical and mystical revelation. And I certainly do not like anyone m…

Here is are some interesting thoughts: If the filioque was declared by the Latin Church, does that negate their previous acceptance of Nicea, and Ephesus? Does it mean that the Fathers of Nicea and Ephesus are heretics? Does it mean that the Lati…

Mardukm, I think the word "disingenuine" is most appropriate. I do not think the purpose of any of these posts was for anything other than proselytizing. If the new found revelation and "freedom from misconceptions" relates to some new founding i…

Thank you, Fr. Peter, that is probably the clearest and simplest explanation I have ever heard.

The greatest sin of the RCC, is the coming of the Protestant Movement. The Protestant Movement came about from this type of nonsense. The price for that sin as well as judgment for it well be a heavy price, I believe. This sin perpetuates itself,…

Zoxsasi, You mean the perpetual fireside sing-a-long of Kumbayya.
-
Mardukm, I am not following any of your thoughts. They seem like a waffle of ideas trying to make things fit, and they just do not. I believe there are issues which you are not sharing to ascribe to this system you have deveoped. There are too m…

You know Zoxsasi, you are very insightful.

Yet again an expression of the Empire, extending its hand. The Roman Empire.

The several topics that you bring up, have been discussed on this site extensively. You may search through the different threads. Probably the best answers come from His Holiness Pope Shenouda. All of His Holiness' books are available on-line in …
