  • i think it's quite an honor to bear a child 9 months, and have a unique bond with it, and feel it grow inside u. It's not the only thing women are made for of course ::) it's just an example to point out that there's things that only women can do, a…
  • u missed the point :P it's not bout complaining, i didnt say it's hard work, but it sometimes can be distractive, so i'm just pointing out that it's a problem u dont have to cope with it's true bout it being an honor, but u never hear a guy complai…
  • haha, typical answer it doesnt work like that. Being a deacon is a service, something that requires an efford, and above all it's being a servant as the word indicates. Instead of complaining bout u not being allowed to serve as deacons (which is no…
  • their role is to join the prayers together with the congregation, just like male non-deacons would do. IF there's a special choir, consisting of both male and female members, then they can join in that as well. If that's not enough u should consider…
  • i dont believe in anything at the moment, simply cause i'm way too young for this stuff at the moment ;D i agree with bishoy, there's no such thing as love at first sight, love isn't something that happens in an instance!!
  • i'm not sure but the liturgy by HICS may have been a recording without an actual liturgy, just a liturgy for education (people wanting to learn things). Usually a life liturgy isnt as organised as this recording, but i'm not sure though.

  • First of all we start with psalm 151 cause it has a parallel with the story of Christ conquering satan. If u read the txt it says in the end something like: I beheaded him with my sword ( i forgot the exact txt), just like David killed Goliath and r…
  • i'll upload the rest of it tonight if i find time, meanwhile, u have some under the following link: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?action=viewcat&id=9 and here: http://tasbeha.org/hymn_library/index.php?action=viewcat&id=10 i …
  • personally when i have feelings of doubt i picture the following if ur familiar with the E=mc2 formula by einstein u would know that energy can turn into matter and the other way around if u see how much energy comes from splitting one atome, then…

  • huray, a new member from holland 8)
  • we just finished a new pascha book in dutch, but it has no coptic or arabic readings, just the dutch and the coptic hymns, so in the future there's plans to make an arabic/coptic/dutch one, so if there's txt available that would save 75% of the work…
  • if u find it, plz inform me lol i need the arabic and coptic too ;D
  • Coptic txt of the psali for the Virgin uploaded shenouda; feel free to copy the coptic txt and update ur file so that it contains both the coptic and english, and i'll delete mine...cause now the txt is all scattered ;) great job there with the en…
  • keep in mind that any coptic txt is available on remenkimi.com, dont have to type that all over again... the only thing missing for now is the english and arabic
  • uhm, matthew of course :P nah jk, i really like the names Jonathan and Nathan dont ask why ;D
  • the problem with that file is that it's scanned, only pictures, so u cant take the txt and change and shape it the way u want it... the thing with the arabic txt i have is that we are working on a dutch coptic/dutch/arabic psalmody and a servant fr…
  • I have the arabic of the weekday psalmody, but it's full of errors, once it's checked (it can take a while :-\) i'll post it, if it's not uploaded yet...
  • yup me me me, i was there :D that was one AMAZING night, with all the doves and light :o
  • Dinasours came thousands of years ago...this doesnt contradict bible teaching, nor the story of creation in genesis the "days" aren't days of 24 hours, so these periods when the animals were created have lasted thousands of years, perhaps more.

  • haha, no, i checked with remenkimi.com, they don't have it either i would have typed it if i had the seasonal psali's book....but if i can get my hands on the book at church i mite type them maybe we can split the work ;)
  • ok u want me to tell a nice story bout Abou Sefein... ;) ok, therre ws this building next to our church, and a couple of years ago we were granted permission to use it for church services...nywyz, it was empty the first couple of days of course whe…
  • coptic is the same as egyptian...the word coptic is derived from some greek word being egyptian (ayguptos if i'm not mistaking)
  • Muslims are the descendants of Arabs don't u think that there's also quite a number of descendants of pharao's ie former copts who converted to islam, which would mean that a number of muslims in egypt is (by race) coptic as well...i keep wondering …
  • As copts we have the Pharao's as our ancestor's. So the question we should ask is what race the Pharao's were, rite? ???
  • http://www.suscopts.org/deacons/hymns/lent_psalmody.doc here u go man, u guys are so lucky to have it all translated into english
