  • That is also because our Lord said, those who live by the sword shall die by the sword, which has been held true for him and many many other martyrs who actually served in the army and took others lives.
  • Thanks mina, much appreciated, thanks for the input PopeKyrillos

  • Hey dude, i have it, pm me and i'll figure something out
  • I meant talk to the kids, yeah don't talk to the parents cause it really isn't your business to get involved even if its to help.
  • This is a difficult situation to advize on and its not easy to even help them with. I suggest you talk to them and let them know you are there for them and if they ever need anything from you that you will do your best to help them in whatever you c…
  • Congratulations, welcome to the faith, and as Severus said, this is only the beginning of your new life with Christ.

  • Hisservant, you must realize that if this hymn is one hour that it must have many melisma, therefore if nobody is paying attention regardless of the language they will not comprehend it, Thats what is so great about Holy Week hymns, they are long an…
  • There is no such thing as too late? What are you 50? I know you aren't, nothing is holding your back except yourself, put an effort and you will get it. It is not that difficult, it just takes dedication, if you don't have it then you will not learn…
  • I believe they use the Liturgy of St. James but i'm not 100% sure on this
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6868.msg92432#msg92432 date=1215505364] [quote author=jydeacon link=topic=6868.msg92413#msg92413 date=1215478483] No where in any of my posts did i say that i have them memorized but i said this is what i do before …
  • You can leave which ever way will be less distracting to others
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6868.msg92405#msg92405 date=1215468435] [quote author=Hisservant link=topic=6868.msg92399#msg92399 date=1215462876] one word. LAZINESS. If you are too lazy to do what JY said a few posts back and READ THE TRANSLATIO…
  • Yeah i know the one you are talking about, i meant to say the explanations and language of the book aren't in arabic. Sorry i wasn't specific
  • My english psalmodias don't specify which one is for which, just the ones we use at church so i'm assuming that the book he uses isn't in arabic
  • I didn't expect an essay response, it took me forever to read it(considering i have almost no time to use the internet). Regardless i didn't do this post to mention that. All of what you're saying is valid but a bit misplaced. I agreed with you in…
  • [quote author=QT_PA_2T link=topic=6868.msg92188#msg92188 date=1215032122] JY, There is another alternative. That is arabic. Its easier to improve one's arabic than it is to improve one's Coptic, even though arabic is harder, its more accessible, …
  • I agree with you QT (surprising is it not haha). Thats why you have to read the translation and memorize that FIRST. if you just know it and what not then you lose the meaning of the hymn. Or you can go the other way. You memorize the hymn and maste…
  • The Prayers of all the saints be with you, especially those of HH Pope Kyrillos and of course the lady of us all Saint Mary.
  • [quote author=godislove260 link=topic=6851.msg91894#msg91894 date=1214772922] 'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. (Psalm 91) [/quote] I'm not s…
  • There really is no such thing as an easy hymn. They all take practice, its great you got some annual hymns down but there are a lot of annual hymns that aren't that easy either. The next step is to push yourself to learn these hard hymns. cause the …
  • Welcome I'm sure we can all gain from your participation on these forums.
  • They are for sure not perfect, they are still with blemish and carry a corrupt nature. Whether they go to heaven to us is irrelevant, this is God's discision and whatever he does is fair. He will not punish a baby for nothing. I've always heard that…
  • I don't know all of them but i can name a few, Armenian Orthodox(might be wrong about this one) Syrian Orthodox Eritrian Orthodox Ethiopian Orthodox Indian Orthodox British and French orthodox fall under our Pope I think there are more but i don'…
  • Just something I would like to add is that, the baby is not restricted at all from the baptism, its the mother who is. Babies who might die after birth are taken to be baptized right away so that if they do pass away they are ok and were baptized. T…
  • Oh I'm sorry I worded my post wrong I meant to say that monasteries in egypt don't allow girls and nunneries do(with permission by parents and priest) sorry for the mixup
  • The monastery in Texas allows girls to stay if they are accompanied by a priest but in Egypt I believe its not allowed regardless for nunneries I believe girls can spend time there(as in spend the night)with parents or priest permission( not complet…
  • Hey godislove, how are you? Good I hope. I think that you being uneasy could very well be a sign from God that this could be the wrong career path for you, you know yourself better than anyone else so nobody can truley tell you what to do. I went th…
  • Most children name books have explanaitions of what the names mean. I used to have one but is probably long gone now. I'm sure you could look it up online.
