I am proudly one of 35 millions Coptic Christians in Egypt 🇪🇬
Are you sure of that number?!!
I think it's less than that!!
it’s 15 million msh ayy faty howa
@@s2Yid i think it's 9.5 million.
May god bless you
@@s2Yid I think he’s talking about in the world.
I love Coptic Christians ✝️. God bless the Copts and give them peace and strength amid hatred and constant persecution they face in Egypt. Peace and love to our Christian brothers and sisters 🙏❤
What. do we not hate?
Copts aren’t facing persecution in Egypt, actually Muslims and Christians treat each other here aside from the religion very good specially if you compare them to other religious minorities how they being treated around the world, because we see them as partners in the country as definitely alot of our ancestors were Copts thats why coptic means originally Egyptian, you should get your facts checked before throwing accusations
@@ahmedmamdouh5033
Trying to sugarcoat the wrongs committed by muslim radicals against Coptic Christians in Egypt 🇪🇬. The world knows that since August 2013, there has been violent attacks on Churches in Egypt. Attackers torched and looted several Churches across the country. The world knows that in Egypt it is okay for a Christian to convert to Islam, but when a Muslim converts to Christianity, they face persecution. You're absolutely the one who needs to check facts before trying to lie and sugarcoat things. The world is not blind, the world knows about these things.
this is ingenral one universal church that include oriental orthodox Egypt copt,asyrian,indian,ethiopian ortho,eritrean orthodox, Armany orthodox
As a Coptic Christian, this video is amazing and it is such a blessing keep up the great work !
Where can I find OT in Coptic language? I want to read the Genesis in Sahidic but can't any on the internet. SOMEONE HELP ME!!!
I'm from Malaysia and I've been studying the Coptic language for 3 years. This year, I'm 15 years old😥
@@nazeyrzkhaczamh4553 its been kind of forgotten. Only a few people left on earth, (mainly in a small village in Egypt) know Coptic OT, and I doubt any of them will have posted anything about it. If you found anything please tell me, because up to my knowledge we only know a few words, and I would love to learn it as a language.

Stay strong Coptic brothers. We muslims should strongly condemn the treatment of Coptic Christians in Egypt just like how we condemn the treatment of Palestinians and Uygurs.
Thank you, appreciate the gesture.
No "true" follower of Islam would ever mistreat a Christian or Jew as they are considered People of the Book.
You are a good person, thank you.
Thank you, you are Egyptian?
I live in Egypt and they are not mistreated at all. There are atleast 2 churches in every town. Everywhere you go in Cairo there’s a church, and some Christians here are very rich, and intelligent. It is the poor in Egypt that gets mistreated, whatever their religion. Also those ‘church bombings’ you hear about, my Orthodox friends here told me that it’s a government conspiracy to cause tensions between Muslims and Christians.
Love it I am Ethiopian Orthodox.
We are the same if not 100% I will say 95%.
I think most of the oriental Orthodox churches are the same and Ethiopian Orthodox church is oriental so yeah
Bor we are the same 100%
I'm Eritrean orthodox tewahdo
Kind regards
We literally were the same church for years 🇪🇬❤️🇪🇹
Until pope kyrillos iv the coptic church oversaw the ethiopian church so i would say that prob makes the two even more in communion. Both are beautiful and strong in faith
It's not a religion. The religion is Christianity. Coptic Orthodoxy is a branch of Christianity. Never lose sight of that: we are all Christians!
100% agreed

Convert to Coptic Orthodoxy. I loved seeing a visiting Ethiopian Orthodox priest praying the liturgy. The Oriental Orthodox Communion is a sorely unknown Church in the West.
You converted to the coptic Orthodox Church? What was your religion before?

@@s2Yid I used to hate Arabs because all I knew about them were rocket attacks and bombings when I was a small child.
But I've gotten to know Arabs here and from other countries and I realize we aren't so different. Our cultures and religions are similar.
Maybe put politics aside for once. You can stand with Palestinians and still cooperate with us. This is the position of your government, when I was in the army we worked with Egyptian soldiers.
Killing each other forever won't solve anything. Peace.
Love this. Can you do more episodes about Coptic Christians?
Thank you very much, and we love all European countries and America.✝️🇪🇬

@@polaedward4579 I am interested to learn more about coptic christians and coptic prayers
@@josephmathew333 my comment with my email keeps getting deleted. Don't know how we can communicate
@@polaedward4579 do you have telegram app?
Hiya! Just wanted to give some more insight on our theology on the nature of Christ just in case anyone was wondering. We were misunderstood at the council of Chalcedon and accused of being heretics/Monophysites and this is why early documents say we are monophysites. Monophysitism merged Christ’s humanity with His divinity and as a result He only had one, divine nature. This is NOT what we believe. We believe that Christ is fully human and fully divine, the two natures united together without mingling, without confusion, and without alteration; his divinity parting not from his humanity, not for a single moment nor twinkling of an eye. As a result, we are actually miaphysites.
In the recent decades, our church has had discussions with the Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox (after centuries of separation) and we have found that we do believe in the same Christology and that the schism at Chalcedon, for the most part, was due to a misunderstanding (and also politics lol).
exactly, monophysatism and miapyhisitism are different things
You will always have someone trying attacking your faith. I’m a catechumen for the EO, but I’ve done my research and I like the oriental orthodox too. I just hate how people won’t leave y’all alone. What concerns me is the high level of people breaking one of the Ten Commandments. “Thou shalt not bear false witness.”
@@theunknownone2189 yup you are right. I as an Eritrean oriental orthodox witness this even now. ( Btw Eritrean, Etiopian, Egyptian, Armenian, Syrian and Indian orthodox are one oriental orthodox churches). our church Has been attacked by heretics morethan ever now especially, the past 5-10 years and they are still misleading people. Poor us, really God bring us tranquility and peace.
Thank you very much Mary for this clarification. I just watched the video and appreciate all the info and research but also wanted to add this clarification. We are definitely NOT Monophysites, only accused to be ones as a result of getting us mixed up with the heresy Eutichus came up with and retracted his position in the second council of Ephesus.
".. We believe that Christ is fully human and fully divine, the two natures united together without mingling, without confusion, and without alteration; his divinity parting not from his humanity, not for a single moment nor twinkling of an eye ..." is not the same as chalcedon council. see its full verse.
Thank you for mentioning us in your video.
Great Work 👏👍❤❤❤
Can you do more episodes about Coptic Christians and some about Mennonite Christians (they were here in Bosnia during the war ,with their humanitarian organisation ). I'm muslim and I fell in love with them.

Coptic Christianity is also a major religion in Ethiopia and Eritrea.
I was going to say that. I dont know why he didnt explore other orthodox christians from around the world.
I was thinking the same. he should have mentioned other oriental churches & how the Ethiopian & Eritrean church are another branch of us & very similar.
yeah, i was wondering the same being tewahado myself
Thank you for putting together these short but comprehensive video.
Excellent presentation Brother! Thank you!
Love for Cpotic Christains from Pakistan 🇵🇰❤️
I just did a DNA test I am a white American I was curious . I am pretty much half Irish and half German . Blonde hair blue eyes . Then I found out I'm 3 % Coptic Egyptian. It's just a little but how cool to be a tiny part of such a cool culture ❤

I dont think there is any religious group that pray so much like us
Waaauu! I had no idea abaut that! That's awesome! And deserves great respect from all of us. I would like one episode abauth that.
@SANI Malik it’s not a competition
Ethiopia orthodox
@SANI Malik I have A Coptic Christian friend from Egypt but he is Now An Atheist because he said that you need to fast two-thirds of the Year In Order to be A Copt.
Wow respect from Lebanon my friend may God bless you💜💜💜
Do you also discuss certain beliefs of the Coptic and other religions. For example, the many apparitions in Zeitoun, Cairo from 68 to 71 on and around the Coptic Church of Mary?
This is a wonderful site of information. Today's world needs more information and more education and explanation. I believe that this is the ONLY way to Peace.
I am very proud to be part of the Coptic Orthodox church Family and one of the Priest in Zambia.

Thank you for making this wonderful and informative video. To much of the world has no idea who the Coptics even are. Let alone they are the founders of Christianity as well as the descendants of the Pharaoh, and therefore the last preservers of the ancient Egyptians' culture. This video goes through a lot of materials in a well presented summary. The English speaking world, has been given minimal and somewhat inaccurate information about to much of the rich cultures, such as The Coptics. Bringing this cultural wealth of one of the most persecuted groups throughout history through modern times, is a treasure the world deserves.
That said, there's a couple mentions that could use some further clarification to be received as accurate, and some additions that are worth extending on. Hopefully, there will be useful links added to the description and of course, in the comments. ha ha.
(There's many who are far more knowledgeable than I am, on this topic, but here's a step towards accuracy at least) In the video there's mention, the Coptics are "one of the earliest groups of Christians". I believe they are now accepted to be on record, "the earliest" group of Christians. I believe this is now undisputed? Also, The Roman Catholic Church, is who is adjusting their accounts. The mention that Christianity was "founded" in 40(something) AD, in Egypt, is only somewhat accurate, based on the definition of "founded". It's likely that by the date it was considered founded, there was already a significant following, that had been building over many years. What's significant to point out though, was that Christianity is suspected to actually be on record as having "started" in more like, 10-11 AD in Egypt. Which very well, could have been while The Christ was still walking in incarnate as the living breathing man. This one point, may be the significant difference between the later Christians' beliefs, modern English speaking religious historians, and the ancient to modern Coptic beliefs about the reality of the life of Christ.
What is also significant, is the Coptics believe the baby Christ's family came to Egypt, where they were blessed by the Pharaohnic teachings, and Egypt was blessed by the incarnate of the holy family, etc. They also have offered much evidence for external evaluation and measure. Although some artifacts are challenging to authenticate, there's other groups' and cultures' records and accounts of specific details, that match the Coptics' own. There has only been approx 111 Coptic (popes) since the life of Christ. So that's not as many records to go missing, nor have much missing.
Which is much appreciated, this video points out the difference in Coptic beliefs about Jesus, from other later formed Christian faiths in other regions of the world... Which, is relating to Coptics' different beliefs around the nature of the incarnation of Christ. The differences are a lengthy topic in itself... yet I suspect individual's personal connections and relationships to Christ, are only made stronger, from such speculations. So, may be a worthwhile topic for any sect of Christians.
Great job 👍u r so honest and did it in an amazing way❤️well said , bless u richly , I am a Coptic and I love it

Coptic Orthodox Christianity is not a different religion. It's a different denomination.
can you make a video of 10 facts about dr.Ali Shariati please?
Nicly done....thanks
Very nice 👌
I love Jesus
Just for clarification, in point 7: We (the coptic church) don't believe that both God and man have a role in salvation. That is not true, we believe that Salvation is the work of God through Jesus Christ only as stated in Ephesians 2:8. The only role that man plays in this is to accept God's grace. The praying, fasting and sacraments...etc. are just a reflection of that faith. Just as the sign of your faith and accepting God is through baptism as a first step so does all the other practices. But we don't believe that you have to do that to be saved. You do it as a result of being saved. Thanks
This channel is " Bubble Gum " for the brain!!! 👑
Cool, I always wanted to learn about the copts
Can you do a video of Idris / Enoch (as) in Islam

I love that the child gets to choose the pope. It as though humans get to narrow down the choices to 3 and then The Holy Spirit ultimately chooses through a innocent child.

Very interesting !
The Coptic Church is a very devout Church. Members are fasting for most of the year and they are praying 🙏 constantly as directed by St. Paul in the Bible. The Coptic Church is a true Orthodox Church.
Nativity of Christ literally means Christmas. We celebrate Christmas on January 7th
A little mistake in the nature of Jesus: nature of Jesus in the coptic church is Jesus fully man and fully divine appearing in the incarnate word- yet this nature is united but never mingled, never altered in a single moment or in a blink of an eye.
Could make a video about Ethiopian Orthodox Church. I am from Ethiopia and also Orthodox, Coptic Orthodox and Ethiopia Orthodox are parts of Oriental Orthodox Church too.

Hi thanks for letting people know I'm also coptic orthodox
@ftdfacts plz make a video about Qadiyani (ahmadi muslims) their beliefs n what Actual muslims think of them.
Coptic is the truth
We never used the term Monophysite. That is a false accusation by Chalcedonians.
It is worth noting that we believe in one nature in two natures without mixing or changing in the two natures also fasting is not drinking or eating for some time also, not just the vegan part, meiaphitism is the term we use now also
Please let us know about the Bahai beliefs
How do they enter the church?,bare foot or with shoes?
