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 🙏❤
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.

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.
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.

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).
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.

You didnt talk about our very long prayers The prayers of holy friday (the day jesus was crucified) last for complete 10 hours I dont think there is any religious group that pray so much like us
@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.
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 was thinking the same. he should have mentioned other oriental churches & how the Ethiopian & Eritrean church are another branch of us & very similar.
Our Coptic Christian Brothers and sisters are getting persecuted in Egypt, churches are getting bombed. Prayers to our Coptic Christian Brothers and sisters 🙏🙏🙏
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.

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.
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.
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.

I believe that the Coptic orthodox church broke off with the Catholic Church at the council of Chalcedon around 450 AD. The Universal (Catholic) Church was united as one church at the time. Roughly 600 years later, the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Churches and the Catholic Church of Rome excommunicated each other over several issues.
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.
❤❤❤Coptic Orthodox Christian’s belief that Jesus Christ is incarnate worldwide 🙏🙏🙏 🤲Especially fasting and prayers of holiness. I’m so happy for the Coptic Christians; as one United Glorious servants of God surrounding the throne of the Most High the Holy Spirit 👑🇮🇱 Amen🇮🇱👑
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
As a copt, i think you did a great job overall. I just have to comment on the "Monophysite" part. We are definitely not Monophysite. We are 100% miaphysites as explained by early church Father St Cyril of Alexandria. In fact, we condemn the heresy of Monophysitism by Eutechys. I know most people confise the two but it is worth noting they arw not the same. Also, although we believe in synergism. Our entire salvation is only through the Grace of God alone. Our works are done, not as an act towards our salvation, but as an act of Love for God. Nothing we do can attain our salvation.
You did not even mention the persecution of Copts for centuries under Romans and Arabs. But your other points are great, but it is a big part of the Coptic history

@@daniyalnaeem1404 but to call modern egyptians arabs is not true, recent dna studies proved that 62% of egyptians are of haplogroup e1b1b while arabs are of haplogroup j Another study suggest that 68% of egyptians are native north africans while only 17% of egyptians are of arab origins
Egyptians (Muslims and Christians) are descended primarily from Ancient Egyptians. For thousands of years, waves of people had migrated to Egypt and became assimilated into Egyptian population. Egyptian Muslims generally embraced Arab identity due to Islam and Arabic language. Egyptian Christians or Copts themselves also embraced many aspects of Arab culture but never identified themselves as Arabs. There is a misconception that the Copts are generically pure and never intermarried with Arabs. This is of course untrue. Although Copts practice endogamy, they do married outsiders as long as they are Christians. The second religion of the Arabs after Islam is Christianity and many Arab clans and tribe had been Christians for generations prior to the emergence of Islam. Many Arab Christians migrated and settled in Egypt and intermarried into Coptic communities. There might be some Muslim Arabs who converted into Christianity prior to intermarried into Coptic communities. Coptic Christians do have some Arab genetic markers through intermarried with Arab Christians.

I'm sorry but this concept of 2 distinct characteristics (divine & human) being united in one seems completely contradictory in nature, can anyone explain the theology behind it?
@Melvin Aziz OK now if you believe in one nature that is a union then by definition wouldn't that mean that there was a unification at some point? I see the analogy of states of America but that's kind of an apples to oranges comparison to a certain extent
So here is an example to make it easier for you You look at the sun describe it to me 1. It has a body (big mass of flammable gaseous in space) 2. It has light 3. It has heat But all of These are one Thing and that's the sun Same thing There is father and son and holy spirit all of them are 1 they didn't separate 1 sec or a blink of an eye. Even you as a person You're a Body you have a mind you have a spirit I can't talk to you without your body I can't talk to you without your spirit because you will be dead I can't talk to you without your mind because you won't understand me These 3 factors are all connected together and can't be separated and if you separate them there won't be a human.
Look at the Jerusalem cross. It’s a cross surrounded by 4 smaller crosses. Each cross represents the 4 churches. Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Armenian, and Coptic Christian. Peace unto all.
The One Holy Catholic Church is only made up of the Coptic, Ethiopian, Syriac, and Armenian Miaphysites. Chalcedonians and NeoChalcedonians aren't Orthodox.
Four division of the throne f St.Peter as per Nicea synod was Antioch(Syriac Orthodox ), Rome, Alexandia (Coptic), and Byzantine(Greek from which eastern Orthodox churches sprouted).Antioch and Alexandrea refused chaldean synod doctrine of dyophysitism and are known as oriential orthodox, and are in full communion till today. Rome and Byzantine supported chaldean synod doctrine. Later Rome and Byzantine split due to dispute in unleavened bread, celibacy of priests and so on..
I wish there were Coptic churches in America well, maybe there are a few, but I have never seen one in Northern Sacramento Valley California. I think I would love to be a Coptic Christian.
For your information, It's not just copts , but most of them same with all other Oriental Orthodox Churches. (Antioch, Alexandria(Copts) and Jerusalem ). Although the other two which are Constatinople(Greek Orthodox), and Rome vary due to their new doctrines. These are The earler Churches existed . No other organization who claim to be Church is allowed to perform Communion in the most Holy Churches in Jerusalem...
Egyptian-American here with a Muslim background. I am 1.4% Coptic Egyptian according to 23andme. 😊 I would love to see the Coptic language revived again as a national language of Egypt.
Where did you get this information from? The Coptic church uses the same Bible as the Catholics. The protestants acknowledge the books gathered by Ezra the profit only. they are called the "protokanonica", i.e the first legal books. The Copts and Catholics acknowledge the books that were gathered after the death of Ezra. They are called "Deutrokanonika" i.e the second legal books. They are 9 books .

I'm happy that RUclips suggested FTD Facts for viewing. I am subscribed.

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 ❤

@swain4971 I know right completely shocked me !
in history there were some egyptians did go to mexico to partcipate in Franco-Mexican War from 1863 until 1867
so it probably came from there :)@@Shay-nu7id
You didnt talk about our very long prayers
The prayers of holy friday (the day jesus was crucified) last for complete 10 hours
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.
Coptic Orthodox Christianity is not a different religion. It's a different denomination.
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
Our Coptic Christian Brothers and sisters are getting persecuted in Egypt, churches are getting bombed. Prayers to our Coptic Christian Brothers and sisters 🙏🙏🙏

I'm from Malaysia and I've been studying the Coptic language for 3 years. This year, I'm 15 years old😥
I respect Coptics more than Evangelicals.
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.
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.
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.

I believe that the Coptic orthodox church broke off with the Catholic Church at the council of Chalcedon around 450 AD. The Universal (Catholic) Church was united as one church at the time. Roughly 600 years later, the Eastern Orthodox Catholic Churches and the Catholic Church of Rome excommunicated each other over several issues.
Whoa. Coptics are vegetarian/vegan for most of the year. I want some Coptic food.
Amazing job!! Great video

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.

Nicely addressed thanks just adding the majority of the Coptic bishops are highly educated also the presets . All the presets are married .
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
This really true Copts fasts most of the year I has copt friend he would fast most of the days
As a copt, i think you did a great job overall.
I just have to comment on the "Monophysite" part.
We are definitely not Monophysite. We are 100% miaphysites as explained by early church Father St Cyril of Alexandria.
In fact, we condemn the heresy of Monophysitism by Eutechys.
I know most people confise the two but it is worth noting they arw not the same.
Also, although we believe in synergism. Our entire salvation is only through the Grace of God alone. Our works are done, not as an act towards our salvation, but as an act of Love for God. Nothing we do can attain our salvation.
You did not even mention the persecution of Copts for centuries under Romans and Arabs. But your other points are great, but it is a big part of the Coptic history
as A coptic muslim (basicallly egyptian) i really like coptic christianity, its a huge part of the egyptian history
There’s Egyptian Christianity and Christian Wicca. I’m both.

Coptic is the truth
It is not just a “worship service” like other Christian’s here in America. It is The Mass. It is worship surrounded solely on the word of god, and the consumption of his sacrifice. By “modern day standards” most would not call them Christian, as they are Catholic. I appreciate you calling them Christian’s as Catholics are Christian’s. Thank you for this video, bless you!
Coptic itself meens egyptian so it's roughly 70% of egyptians are coptic but the muslims chose to be called "arabs"

@@djehuti5571 call them African then, no biggies
Egyptians (Muslims and Christians) are descended primarily from Ancient Egyptians. For thousands of years, waves of people had migrated to Egypt and became assimilated into Egyptian population. Egyptian Muslims generally embraced Arab identity due to Islam and Arabic language. Egyptian Christians or Copts themselves also embraced many aspects of Arab culture but never identified themselves as Arabs. There is a misconception that the Copts are generically pure and never intermarried with Arabs. This is of course untrue. Although Copts practice endogamy, they do married outsiders as long as they are Christians. The second religion of the Arabs after Islam is Christianity and many Arab clans and tribe had been Christians for generations prior to the emergence of Islam. Many Arab Christians migrated and settled in Egypt and intermarried into Coptic communities. There might be some Muslim Arabs who converted into Christianity prior to intermarried into Coptic communities. Coptic Christians do have some Arab genetic markers through intermarried with Arab Christians.
Uhhhhhh
Technichly
All (or at least most) people in egypt are called arabs
Arab isn't specifically a race

I'm sorry but this concept of 2 distinct characteristics (divine & human) being united in one seems completely contradictory in nature, can anyone explain the theology behind it?
no they dont unite as a orthodox ethiopian i dont accept that
@Melvin Aziz OK now if you believe in one nature that is a union then by definition wouldn't that mean that there was a unification at some point? I see the analogy of states of America but that's kind of an apples to oranges comparison to a certain extent
@Melvin Aziz that is very detailed brother you got theology knowledge i see
So here is an example to make it easier for you
You look at the sun describe it to me
1. It has a body (big mass of flammable gaseous in space)
2. It has light
3. It has heat
But all of These are one Thing and that's the sun
Same thing
There is father and son and holy spirit all of them are 1 they didn't separate 1 sec or a blink of an eye.
Even you as a person
You're a Body you have a mind you have a spirit
I can't talk to you without your body
I can't talk to you without your spirit because you will be dead
I can't talk to you without your mind because you won't understand me
These 3 factors are all connected together and can't be separated and if you separate them there won't be a human.
Great Information.
New Religion? I thought the literary come directly from Saint Mark
To add to your list the first and the founder of monastic life was an Egyptian Monk named father Antonios. Egypt is where monastic life spread from.
Look at the Jerusalem cross. It’s a cross surrounded by 4 smaller crosses. Each cross represents the 4 churches. Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Armenian, and Coptic Christian. Peace unto all.
The One Holy Catholic Church is only made up of the Coptic, Ethiopian, Syriac, and Armenian Miaphysites. Chalcedonians and NeoChalcedonians aren't Orthodox.
Four division of the throne f St.Peter as per Nicea synod was Antioch(Syriac Orthodox ), Rome, Alexandia (Coptic), and Byzantine(Greek from which eastern Orthodox churches sprouted).Antioch and Alexandrea refused chaldean synod doctrine of dyophysitism and are known as oriential orthodox, and are in full communion till today. Rome and Byzantine supported chaldean synod doctrine. Later Rome and Byzantine split due to dispute in unleavened bread, celibacy of priests and so on..
I wish there were Coptic churches in America well, maybe there are a few, but I have never seen one in Northern Sacramento Valley California. I think I would love to be a Coptic Christian.

Hi Leroy, you forgot to mention that their bible has 81 books, 8books more than the Catholics, and 15 books more than the protestants.
Where did you get this information from? The Coptic church uses the same Bible as the Catholics. The protestants acknowledge the books gathered by Ezra the profit only. they are called the "protokanonica", i.e the first legal books. The Copts and Catholics acknowledge the books that were gathered after the death of Ezra. They are called "Deutrokanonika" i.e the second legal books. They are 9 books .
