Hey BentBABAyasoua, I think this is an iffy issue and can go either way. i also now people who met over the internet and are married now and are quite happy. but of course they had to meet in person and really get to know each other. so if the quest…

This is a great idea, if somebody knows how to create such a network it would benefit many

if you can get the Liturgy of St. Gregory by Fr. Anthony Hanna he has the best one i have heard. if you cannot find it pm me your email and i will send it to you.

bentBABAyasooa` is correct, Port Said is a city in Egypt. i have seen this picture myself and it is quite amazing.

If anything it could have been a rather large aligator or crocodile. and remember i am sure people back then where much more afraid of animals then we are now. they didn't really have any sort of protection or knowledge of them until recently. by re…

I think nowadays we get circumsized because of medical reasons. what reasons these are i have no clue. that is just what i have heard. this is a great question i would like to see others responses

Yes in fact it was the language we used to speak until the arab conquest. Coptic of course means egyptian. coming from the greek word Aigyptos which the arabs couldn't pronounce calling us qibt or qibty instead.
-
Anglian and Aripsalin are correct, bishops must be celibate and monks first before they are ordained. they must be married to the church for the reasons they mentioned.

thanks guys. i was just wondering because it seemed like we were the only ones doing that and i don't have a recording for psalm 150 because i knew it for a long time and felt i had no need of it.

I am talking about psalm 150 anual during communion

Yes it truely is a great book, i not only recomend this book for Taylor but for everyone who is interested in learning about our liturgy in depth.
-
Hi Taylor, i have this book that explains the Liturgy in its entirety and what everything symbolizes. you can ask for this book in a coptic church library. or you can order it here: https://www.orthodoxbookstore.org/product.details.aspx?productid=15…

As far as i know there is no verse in the Bible(at least that i can recall) that has a verse that says do not kill this animal for sport or don't kill an animal period. we are supposed to have dominion over all the animals of the earth. but of cours…

Actually it might only be uncommon in the United States or places outside of Egypt. In egypt it is regular practice to say the long Pi ouou fa at the end of the anual Psalm 150.

you are absolutely correct. We most definitely do NOT inherit the sin of adam or our forefathers. we inherit the corrupt nature that fell upon them because of the sin they committed.
-
Anglian is 1000% correct. we don't know and can't know what God's intentions are behind what he does or allows. all we have to do is focus on is the goal ahead of us. he told us that the path to heaven is a very narrow path. and if we get cancer alo…

Minagir and Anglian are absolutly correct in what they have said. i also have a saying from St. John Chrisystom(probably mispelled that):"Let your mind wander, but keep your heart with God". it is ok to wonder about these things so long as you know …

Great answer Κηφᾶς, couldn't have put it any better myself

I believe you have just answered your own question. would the church allow the monastaries to give these tattoos if they were a sin and would so many copts have them if they are a sin. of course not. tattoos of the cross are most definitly not a sin…
-
Just to clarify one thing for you, we don't carry adam and eve's sin nor do we carry the sins of our parents. we carry the corrupt nature that fell on adam and eve after they sinned which is the punnishment for their actions(as well as death). that …

I don't think they are talking about the text but the audio
-
If you go to www.copticheritage.org they have one recorded. but it is not complete
-
do you have any idea (like a ballpark) of when its going to be released. i find the Coptic Hymns book a bit incomplete and is missing some stuff (i believe) it should have. such as all the alter responses. and some different responses that i didn't …
-
The 29th of each Coptic Month as you said is a day to commemorate the nativity, the Resurrection, and the annunciation. there is no real special hymn for the day. the responses are from all of the accasions said one by one. so for the acts it will b…

Just to correct one thing, Jesus had to be crusified to save us. God could not just say your sins are forgiven. God had to have blood. and it had to be the blood of His Only Begotten Son, God is a fair God, He cannot contradict Himself. when adam an…

I actually found the article Safaa was talking about, this makes much more sense now here is the link: http://www.copticpope.org/downloads/eng_keraza/engkeraza23-02-2007.pdf Hopefully this can help anyone that is having as much trouble as me graspin…
