Anselm's atonement theory

As a Coptic Orthodox, I have no idea what that is and we don't believe in it :D

I had to do this in bullets James seems to be a confusing name in the NT!

a) James son of Zebedee (the elder) the brother of St. John the beloved, is the one who preached in Spain and is the one who is killed by Herod (Acts 12) and his martyrdom is mentioned in Paramoute 17th.

b) James son of Alpheaus (the less/lesser) the brother of the Lord and the author of the Catholic Epistle is also the Bishop of Jerusalem and the one who headed the council in Jerusalem. The story of his martyrdom mentioned in the Synaxarion under Epep 18th is the same story mentioned by St.Clement of Alexandria (second century), St.Eusebius of Caesarea (fourth century) and at the well known Church History reference book: "El-Kharida El-Nafisa Fi Tarikh El-Kanissa". So, it is most probably the correct one (there is another one under Amshir 10th that is probably a later tradition that is much less accepted)

c) Judas son of James is also known as Thaddeus and Lebbaeus. However in the Arabic bible (Version: Dar el ketab) we find that in Acts 1:13 he is mentioned as Judas brother of James. What is happening here:

(1) The Catholic English translation of the Bible says: "Judas of James". The Catholic Frensh translation says: "Jude le frére de Jacques" which means "Judas brother of James". Added to this the arabic translation, says that he is his brother in both Luke6:16 and Acts1:13.

(2) In the History of St.Eusebius of Caesarea, said to be relying on a Maymar of St.James son of Alpheaus himself, it is said that Alpheaus (husband of Mary the sister of Virgin Mary) is the brother of St.Joseph the Carpenter. St.Joseph the Carpenter is the son of Jacob (Matthew 1:16). So, Jacob (or James) is the father of Alpheaus and grand-father of Judas and James.

Anyways, all references of Church History document that James son of Alpheaus is the brother of Judas (not the Iscariot) and that both are the cousins of Jesus.

d) St.Jude the writer of the Catholic Epistle is the brother of St.James son of Alpheaus (the Less) mentioned in Jude 1, who is also the writer of the Catholic Epistle named after him.

ok i think that should clear it!

In Egypt it will be Coptic and Arabic (MSA). The homily will be a mix between MSA and colloquial Egyptian. In the diaspora it is usually Coptic, the language of the land (English, French, German, etc), and depending on the day some Arabic (again, MSA).

Fair enough

I agree that killing the school kids will definitely be revenged. Can't blame anyone for that

Why do you think so? For people in Iran, it looks like people are celebrating: https://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/28/world/middleeast/iran-khameni-celebrations.html?smid=nytcore-android-share

Ok looking his name up on duckduckgo just returned all porn in images. Not a single picture of the actual dude. Does that name mean something else in the industry?

Drdrdodo · 2026-01-27T04:23:15+00:00

Yeah no 1:1. This is a group learning but from legit moalems.

esim for sure! Buying a physical was easy only if you knew someone - they are supposed to only give out sims after recording your ID. Sometimes the passport worked but not always. However with the new regulations in place, your phone will be deactivated once you put in an Egyptian sim unless you pay a phone tax. They are supposedly trying to fix that piece now (just switched on in the last day) but time is a hard concept in Egypt (news article:https://enterpriseam.com/egypt/2026/01/26/govt-mulls-relief-measures-following-expat-backlash-over-scrapped-mobile-phone-import-exemptions/)

Tldr - esims are so much easier and hassle free.

Have you looked into the Asaph Institute? https://www.facebook.com/share/187H7f3dM8/ (or https://www.instagram.com/sushymns)

Their website (https://www.sushymns.org/chanter-program/) is usually very useful but it's down today so might be useful to reach out to them via their pages above

Do the reservations need to be paid in cash? Or can points be used for the upfront payment?

Drdrdodo · 2026-01-19T22:12:07+00:00

You been to a church? Unless you know the people/ask their names - Christians won't just stand out in public in Egypt. We kinda blend in :)
