[quote author=Timothym link=topic=12653.msg149038#msg149038 date=1323885141] I've never heard a layperson becoming a bishop in one shot.[/quote] Ummm... Pope Demetrius. Although the Synaxarium states "they held him and kept him until the departure o…

[quote author=Just Be Me link=topic=12674.msg148999#msg148999 date=1323806807] This may sound pathetic but is there anyway that I can indirectly ask what are people saying about me. I mean even Christ Himself questioned the Disciples, saying "Who do…

Michael Boutros, I don't know what you mean by "departure from the regular pattern". Are you talking about departure from musical pattern? Or are you talking about linguistics? Or are you talking about the context of the hymn? Imikhail, I have a co…

I've received multiple requests for the article. I am glad to see a renewed interest in Coptic hymnography. Because I am trying to publish the article, I had to remove it from the internet and I can't give out copies so it can get published. I hope …

Every visual stimulus is processed and a choice is made by the person: ignore it or acknowledge it. The mind is judging the value of the stimulus. From there, the mind judges whether this stimulus is good or evil and how it affects the person person…

I have an early copy of the tapes. I independently remastered them. So my version does not sound like the ones on this site. I did not know there was a CD version. Tell me which tracks are on the second CD and I'll tell you what you need. I will add…

[quote author=Timothym link=topic=12647.msg148813#msg148813 date=1323438018] In our church we are doing friday Kiahk vigils as well as saturday kiahk vigils...I dont think the fridays are customary. In any case, would we still say "our top 10 Kiahk …

I'll get back to you on that Aegy.

Just out of curiosity, from the partial list JG gave us, what do yo do in your church? Back in NY, we did #1, 3 ,4 9, 10, 12. That's 5 out of 15 hymns. And of course, no large melismatic hymns. Nowadays, I get serious attitude when I add #5, 13, 14…

[quote author=✞TheGodChrist✞ link=topic=12639.msg148718#msg148718 date=1323307025] I think you are hiding behind a facade of atheism to cover up other personal reasons for not wanting a God. [/quote] TITL, can you credibilize my main point that ath…

No Mina, only the second half is for the Annunciation. Apparantly, hybrid made-up responses are the in-thing to do these days. JG, be careful. TITL is the "Guardian of Credibility" and she'll get you even when you are 100% correct and she is soooo…

What. No response for little old flawed me? [quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=12639.msg148706#msg148706 date=1323301270] thats not something I've thought about, because it isn't relevant. If something exists then it does so regardle…

[quote author=Andrew link=topic=12659.msg148689#msg148689 date=1323295317] Is the ridiculousness of the refrain in that it is modern or not grammatically correct? Or something else?. . . [/quote] All of the above. (I think ILSM' abbreviated respons…

Thank you JG. There are plenty of legitimate, properly documented hymns that can be said. No need to justify a fabrication. What we are neglecting to mention here is that the Psalm 150 response for the Annunciation feast is "Jesus Christ, the Son o…

[quote author=imikhail link=topic=12659.msg148677#msg148677 date=1323293052] We can translate Pimici ebol qen `Viwt af[carx ebol qen ]par;enoc Who is born of the Father took flesh from the virgin. Is this proper English? [/quote] No. It is more …

To expand on Fr Peter's post, related forms of "begotten" include "self-begotten" and "well-begotten". Both are adjectives. Even "only-begotten" is an adjective. From the six instances of "only-begotten" in the New King James Version, five of them …

I agree that Dzheremi is +8.3. I think I would be -3.4. And I'm assuming -3.4 is the lowest dial on the credibility meter. So that would make sense for me.
-
Yes TITL, "one" is a noun. Begotten is not. While linguistic conversion is found in English, there are certain parameters for acceptable linguistic conversion. Not every adjective or verb can be converted into a noun. Begotten is the past participle…

Andrew, I have no idea. Probably in the late 1990's before I moved.
-
ILSM, Help me out here. You know English better than anyone I know. Is begotten a noun that can be properly used in this sentence?
-
For the love of God, please don't use the fake refrain. It's not even good English. The article Andrew cited gives a translation of "Begotten of the Father before all ages and took flesh from the Virgin." IT'S A FRAGMENT SENTENCE. It doesn't complet…

[quote author=TITL link=topic=12654.msg148584#msg148584 date=1323223963] Can I be the credibility meter? ;) Dzheremi = 8.3 He's not baptized yet. [/quote] Wait a minute. If Dzheremi - 8.3, then Remnkemi = -11.5 at least. Is there a way to write -…

[quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=12639.msg148599#msg148599 date=1323232242] First and foremost, you are in no position to assert what will and what won't convince me that God exists (although I agree with you that it wont be the Bible, the Pat…

[quote author=GabrielYakub link=topic=12639.msg148567#msg148567 date=1323214540] Remenkemi, I never said I was attending those places of worship, it was an analogy that I used to demonstrate your flawed reasoning. Which still s…

Bibo, What I am describing has nothing to do with Novatianism or Donatism. Nor do I believe that the καθαροι are the only ones who will inherit the kingdom of God. We all sin, no one is blameless or sinless except Jesus Christ. What I am describi…

[quote author=Biboboy link=topic=12639.msg148537#msg148537 date=1323196022] So, by the same logic, St. Augustine had no right to enjoy hearing the words of God and its interpretation by St. Ambrose, when St. Augustine's aim during his attendance in …
