  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=12118.msg143400#msg143400 date=1313754315] OK, what I meant to say "not" all Greek parts are intelligible to Greeks. I can see you contradicting yourself by saying "the Greek used then is not the same Greek today", …
  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=12118.msg143397#msg143397 date=1313745346] Dear Zoxsasi, I encourage you to read a little bit more of Greek usage in the Coptic Church. It is not intelligible to Greeks, and the grammatical structures is not outrigh…

  • [quote author=ophadece link=topic=12118.msg143342#msg143342 date=1313694118] Zoxsasi, I hope you are not missing the point. Just because the Greek pronounce Greek words one way, doesn't mean we as Copts have to pronounce it the same way. The Greek h…
  • [quote author=Remnkemi link=topic=12118.msg143324#msg143324 date=1313681907] No one in the Greek Church will know anything about the meaning or the pronunciation of this or any other Greek hymn in the Coptic Church, especially those found in the glo…

  • Here's a verse from the Holy Psalmody - from the 1st Hoss (Ten Thino): Grant us sobriety O Lord, that we may know how to stand before You at times of prayer. If the Orthodox Church prays that her faithful have sobriety or solemness in times of pra…

  • I think this hymn is about the crowns that the saint receives. I'm positive that one of the crowns is a crown of martyrdom which means that this hymn cannot be said for EVERY saint (not all of them were martyrs). I'm just curious - what are the al…

  • I think there are stages in spiritual life. For example; let's take the life of the Prodigal Son. He starts off life Close to God, yet this is not authentic. He is close, yet his heart is far. He then leaves God, and desires distance from God, a…
  • Wayne, Can I ask you kindly to look at this video. Its done by a protestant/pentecostal lady who looks at speaking in tongues as well as being "slain in the spirit". Please see this video, and tell me what your opinion is. Do you feel that the l…
  • I think, in all fairness, my friend's problems are caused by a bad situation in a particular Church that is not really applicable to all Churches. Sure, in some cases not so long ago, the situation was widespread simply because the priests could not…

  • Melchoir... Let's not confuse the issue.. my friends feel really marginalized in the Church because they are not egyptian speakers nor Egyptian. That's all.
  • Guys, look, if you are Orthodox, trust me, you have the best church in the World. All that bothers me is that you ought to share it and allow people to access it. THat's ALL we are saying!!
  • [quote author=mabsoota link=topic=11903.msg142743#msg142743 date=1312770963] some of the catholic liturgical practices are a bit strange, but the people who are allowed to distribute the consecrated bread are very carefully chosen [/quote] NONSENSE…

  • Hi Everyone, I just finished attending a Catholic Liturgy in Paris. To be totally honest with you, its NOTHING compared to an Orthodox Liturgy. Let's keep things in perspective: Nothing compares to the Orthodox Church. Its the best... the only th…
