[MenechemShaul]

What you are hearing is music from an ancient time and it may sound very foreign to your ears Kensington place. The singer in this particular video is not paticularly adept; neither on key or in tune.  The chants go all the way back to those of ancient pagan Egypt! Amazing but true, Egyptian chants to Anmon-Ra and Aten were the basis for the tonality of many Christian hymns. Enjoy the diversity.

[samthed]

You are incorrect. These chants have nothing to do with pagan egypt.These are Orthodox Chants from the Divine Liturgy (which was handed down directly from Christ God to St. James the Just).

[fidokalman]

You are entitled to the opinion derived from your faith. Like it or not, however, ancient Egypt greatly influenced Greece and through the Patriarchate of Alexandria, itself influenced by ancient Egyptian chanting, the Byzantine church. As for Jesus Christ, that is also a matter of faith in that there is absolutely no proof of his ever having existed, +Faith is wonderful in that it gives comfort BUT never forget that Greeks always believed in Truth.

[samthed]

It is a fact that the angelic choir exists(celestial music).Within Orthodoxy all of our chants originated from Saints in Deification who perceive this "music".In fact there is a special type of saint who hears this and all our chants originate there.

BTW if you do not think Jesus Christ existed then you are an ignoramus who willfully ignores the truth, because the historical evidence proving that He existed is irrefutable.

[fidokalman]

I told you that accepting Jesus the Christ as a matter of Faith is fine BUT there is absolutely no physical proof nor written proof anywhere. Stop using Faith your argument

[samthed]

Just because you tell me that doesn't make it true.

EVERY serious scholar agrees that Jesus Christ did exist! This is not some disputed thing by anyone credible.

Everyone agrees that history proves that Christ's existence is an empirical fact.

If you want to talk about faith. think about this..how much of what YOU believe are you taking on faith? Almost EVERYTHING that you believe you take on faith.Problem is you use dubious and fraudulent sources (as in this argument)

[fidokalman]

Excellent: Name your "serious" scholars.....
