Thanks Iqbal for clearing that up for me, i was really confused but it makes a little more sense. could you somehow tie this together with communion. now for that i am positive that we are recieving the true blood and body of our Lord God and Savior…

Do we not take communion at every Liturgy and eat the Lord's Body and drink His True Blood, then what is the difference between having the Lord of Glory in Body and Blood and His Holy Spirit. Now i am not saying that any of us are worthy of such a g…

So if thats so what exactly do we have inside us????? if its not the Holy Spirit Himself then what? it cannot just be His Grace. i don't think just because we have the Holy Spirit Himself in us makes us equal to God at all. sorry if i seem a bit ign…

He can bless it but he usually doesn't because the deacons and the priests must be there before the bishop to greet him with the appropriate him for the season. annual ekesmarout, 50 days ekhristos anesti

i have never heard of that, but it could be possible. this oil however is definitly holy because miracles have occured by it. and we all know that the devil cannot heal anyone or help any one in any way
-
I must disagree with this statement for i was just reading an article by HH that said the Holy Spirit decended on the apostles. not just His grace. now i am not comparing us to the desciples but if what you say is true then why would he give His spi…

i don't believe she is crying oil. but i do know that there is an icon of her that drips oil in the bishopric of HG Anba Tadros of Port Said on a certain day every year and goes on for a while. i have seen this picture myself and it is very nice and…

Well, first of all we don't have haram in our church, we are not muslim. St. Paul says, "All things are lawful for me but not all things will benefit me." or something like that. secondly, it all depends on you. if this kissing is going to lead to m…

To correct one thing, God himself is beyond time and is timeless, limitless, immesurable, unchangable. God watches us and us present at all times because he is beyond time. but this is just God. John_S1000 is correct in saying that nothing else is b…

Hey guys i noticed that the recording for Cantor Gad Lewis still sounds like its being fast fowarded. hopefully somebody can fix this problem
-
Anglian is correct, even if it were possible for satan to be saved he would have to swallow his huge ego and repent. but he will not and cannot repent. his time is over. God tested all the angels like he tests us. some passed and are now in heaven w…

When i learned it i used the Choir from the Cathedral i find them useful. Last time i went to Egypt they said it the same in most of the churches so i decided it was reliable enough to learn from.
-
Actually you are correct the really long hiten is Festal but the "semi-long" hiten i heard recording in the annual section on this site by Ibrahim, but the really long one is only recorded during the feasts.
-
Actually if i am not mistaken the extra part of Hiten is still anual. i believe i read it in an article on coptichymns.net they said that all of the known versions of the way to start the Hitens are all anual. Here is the link: http://www.coptichymn…

There is also a piece of the cross in the convent of St. George in Old Cairo as well
-
Minagir is correct, the guards were awake and they became afraid of the angel and of what just happened.
-
How could Mark not have met the Lord when the Lord had the last supper in his house. also Pentecost occured at his house as well. Or am i mistaking that with another apostle? anyone correct me if i am wrong
-
I can't remember if the priest that told me the story said that it came directly from the bible or from the books of the fathers for the church. but i am pretty sure that the story is true.
-
People generally mistake it for a festal hymn because they hear the choir at the Cathedral saying it on the feasts and use them as an example. also it is possible that they say these hymns during festal times because if they don't say it then the wi…

The book that minagir posted has the best resources for the liturgy. i personally have that book it is a great source for anything you need to understand about the liturgy
-
It is not in one piece anymore it has been split and given to many churches and monastaries all over the world.
-
You are very correct, the story i heard was that the guards went to the pharisees or the officials and told them what happened and they told the soldiers not to say that and gave them money to say that the dicsiples came and stole the body. so we sh…

there are other topics on this subject already and one of the admins said that the downloads have been temporarily disabled because of some hardware updates to the site

Can you explain what you are asking, i don't get it?
-
Actually you are quiet correct in what you are saying, i was just responding saying that if someone is going to criticize how the deacons sang it because the words are different, then they have to criticize the translation they are using, and since …
-
There is more than one version of the song. not everyone sings it the same so there is really no right or wrong words to it. as far as i am concerned all of the english versions are wrong because the words are not the same as the arabic one.

Thank you very much, you have done a great service i am sure many will benefit from those texts

No when i mean they must be chrismated i mean by our church not just theirs and i believe they do do it by submersion because we have someone from the Russian Orthodox who came to our church and he was not re-baptized but only Chrismated. so i would…
