- 30 differences between COPTIC & EOTC - Purpose: This was written to educate and give Ethiopian believers a BETTER understanding of the origin of their faith, history and tradition and answer why the EOTC is quite different from other orthodoxies. This should not to be interpreted in the wrong way, unity is important but so is transparency. Author: As an Ethiopian Orthodox servant and having attended several Coptic liturgies, and from theological research on both churches, I can tell you we the EOTC have SO MANY differences. ✅ ALL ITEMS HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED! *Dogma Differences* 1. We believe that Saint Mary was born without original sin 2. We believe that Saint Mary has NO fallen nature no sin or nature to sin after birth as well *Jewish Practices* Matt 5:17 - “I did not come to abolish the Law” 1. We have Ark Processions year-round 2. We abstain from all unclean food (Halal, pork, shrimp, crab, etc) 3. We do no enter church if we are unclean (men and women) 4. We wear all white shawls (Netelas) as a symbol of Christ’s Resurrection and spiritual purity 5. We have a shoeless entry (not just during communion) 6. We abstain from any modern instruments (piano, guitar, etc) 7. We have 81 books in the Bible (Coptics have 74) 8. We go of Halachic Jewish Time (Fasting entry and exits are based of our sun and star movements (Twilight) and our hours are reversed (12=6, 9=3) 9. We observe Friday evening and Saturday as the Sabbath (in addition to Sunday) 10. Women after giving birth have to wait 40 days or 80 days to enter church. ( Lev 12) *EOTC Belief System* 1. We abstain from any fish on fasting days (It is a meat - 1 Cor 15:39) 2. We eat starting at 3pm on fasting days 3. We fast 292 days of the year (including Tsige & Pagume Fast) 4. Women are not allowed to wear pants only ankle length dresses (Deut 22:5) 5. We never imprint (wear) icons of saints on clergical or any other clothes 6. We have a 2 or more priest liturgy system (Coptics have 1) 7. We close curtains during significant moments 8. To be a Deacon you must be a unmarried virgin 9. We have 14 liturgies (Coptics have 3) 10. We celebrate all 33 feasts for Saint Mary and all 18 feasts of Jesus with millions in attendance year round 11. We have Hymnaries (Mahlet) 4-10 hours short version and 24-48 hours long on Epiphany and Horologions (Sa’tat) 12. We perform year- round Subae’s (7 days of no food or water) 13. Believers have (Full Body - Holy Water) services year round for healing and forgiveness of sin 14. We do not eat bread inside church 15. Only men can pour Holy Water 16. The Holy Trinity Icon is always depicted (Coptics use mostly Jesus and the 4 creatures of the Gospel) 17. We have to fast 18 hours to take communion (3 days of no intercourse) 18. We prohibit any use of contraceptives or birth control (Genesis 38:6-11) *Explanation:* While we didn’t establish a church prior to Coptics, Ethiopia was and is historically known as the First Christian Kingdom and Civilization (Reference: Prophecy Psalms 72: 9-10 along with multiple Church sources shows that one of the three wise man has been confirmed Ethiopian, Acts 8 shows Christianity teaching existed in Ethiopia and Aksum Kingdom predates back to BC showing traces of Christianity prior to Armenian Church). And so while we the EOTC are labeled “oriental” with our sister churches, we are the only orthodox nation who incorporate 4000 year old Jewish customs (Judeo-Christianity) and Jewish forms of worship and tradition into our faith. The reason for this is because we were the only Orthodox country to convert from Christianity’s former faith so we hold very sacred information or the “original link” that drives our Christian faith to be more conservative or allows us to have more divine levels of worship (Ark Processions year round, Hymnaries (Mahlet), (Horologions (Sa’tat), Subae (7 days of no food or water), Year round Full Body Holy Water Services, all white clothing, shoeless entry, restraining from unclean meat and 292 days of fasting to name a few all makes our orthodoxy unique different and special in every way compared to all other oriental and eastern orthodoxies but most importantly and evidently seen is our love of Saint Mary. Ethiopia is in fact called the Land of Mary. Thank you have a nice day. Blessings in Christ Sources: 1.

Would you say EOTC is closer to Islam or Catholicism? I’m thinking of the word Tewahedo and its similarity to Tawhid, the strict emphasis placed on following the mosaic law like muslims, when Catholics and Protestants don’t follow it at all.

look at the fact we ethiopian orthodox tewahdo church members believe jesus is one in nature as hot iron is both a flame and an iron unlike Nestorianism, the Christological doctrine that Christ was two distinct beings, one divine (the Logos) and one human (Jesus), who happened to inhabit the same body. The churches that later became Oriental Orthodoxy were firmly anti-Nestorian, and therefore strongly supported the decisions made at Ephesus in 431. Twenty years after Ephesus, the Council of Chalcedon in 451 reaffirmed the view that Jesus Christ was a single person, but at the same time declared that this one person existed "in two complete natures", one human and one divine. Those who opposed Chalcedon saw this as a concession to Nestorianism, or even as a conspiracy to convert the Christian Church to Nestorianism by stealth. As a result, over the following decades, they gradually separated from communion with those who accepted the Council of Chalcedon, and formed the body that is today called the Oriental Orthodox Churches

Weak witness. Should not be compared to R.C. church at all; I am a former r.c. and former Greek orthodox who has transitioned into ethiopian orthodoxy by rebaptism. Everything outside of the orthodox churches are heresies and should not be described as churches in the first place. Heretical groups should be described as groups of followers of Christ, but they don't merit to be called Churches in the original definition of Ecclesia contained within the Nicene Creed. We have to give the truth straight to other people whether they like the sound of it or not just as we would have a heart to deliver the same truth to pagans, agnostics, muslims, etc. This should never be skipped over in conversation. Because from the protestant point of view Christianity is a gobbledegook of all different kinds of churches inspired by the will of men and Sola Scriptura. Ethiopian Orthodox Church is directly from God and the synergy of Scripture, and Holy Tradition delivered directly by Angels to the Church, and not some mans cultural invention. Take the case of St. yared in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church as one of the best examples of this angelic and holy tradition.

It was through manipulation Ethiopian Orthodox brought its patriarchy from Egypt. In reality Ethiopians orthodox existed prior to Egyptian but every year ethiopian king use to pay a huge amount of gold and other gifts. The Egyptian patriarchs that was sent started secretly building mosques imagine they were sent ti serve at the Orthodox Church. As soon as the king find out he sent him back. The king at the time in Egypt got upset his coverup was discovered. It has consequences Ethiopian stop sending all that gold and gifts sent. At the time Ethiopia was rich and known for their gold and trade. It’s very interesting if you are interested definitely do your research and learn about it. What’s sad today it’s barley 5% Christian’s in Egypt. The Arab settlers have completely systematically have destroyed the orthodox religion in Egypt.;(

I am Catholic, I must say the Ethiopian Orthodox Priest did an excellent job of explaining the splits that resulted at the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD, this was the Monophysite controversy for which Pope Leo the Great from Rome wrote his Tome which provided the theological formula/explanation regarding the Monophysite question. The Oriental Orthodox, which the Ethiopian and Coptic Orthodox from Egypt are both part of did not agree with is formula, but they both hold to the 3 earlier great councils of Nicea in 325 AD, Constaninopile in 381 AD and Ephesus in 431. As the Priest stated, there are 4 other Oriental Orthodox Churches, 1 in India, 1 in Syria, 1, 1 in Armenia and 1 in Eritrea. The Catholic Church recognizes the 7 Sacraments of the Oriental Orthodox Churches as valid/ Holy Mysteries in Eastern Terminology and there have been for years ongoing discussions between the Catholic Church and Oriental Church to re-establish full Communion. catholicstarherald.org/catholic-oriental-orthodox-churches-a-step-closer-to-full-communion/ www.ncronline.org/news/vatican/pope-catholic-oriental-orthodox-should-look-more-sacramental-sharing
