Christianity came to Ethiopia through the divine visitation upon the Ethiopian Eunuch. Acts 8: 26 - 39

[@curtisoular]

Biblical Ethiopia is not the small country that we know today! Just like Egypt is not the same space as it once was! Much of today's map was designed to harm The Africans Who Wrote The Bible! The idea is to remove Africans from African History!.. God says Ethiopians are the Parents of the Israelites!.. Biblical Ethiopian means AFRICAN in today's English! It's why the Atlantic Ocean was called "The Ethiopian Ocean" until recently renamed atlantic: To Remove Africans/Ethiopians from our Land and History!🥰🤔

[@ninagolgi3132]

@@curtisoular Modern day Ethiopia is what is left of the sovereign people. The colonization of the rest of Africa was a loss, and Ethiopians today don't wish to remove other Africans from their proud history but preserve the untouched culture and religion that we have sacrificed to preserve.

[@curtisoular]

@@ninagolgi3132 the devil on colonies is who the bible says, came to kill steal and destroy! If Modern day Ethiopia avoided the devil 🥳😇👀🤔🧐🥳 Hip Hip Horray!.. Remember the devil wants us to worship him instead of God!.. Do they worship God, or the image of the devil/colonizer in Modern day Ethiopia??..?

Hi hi

[@thereisonlyone6357]

The TRUTH of the matter is Jesus was practicing Judaism and was sent to the Isralite to uphold the laws of the Ten Commandments that God has given to Moses directly . There were no churchs in his time. He himself prayed to the one he created him. The the New Testment is written by 4 men who are not Jesus. The New Testment has been revised, edited and information taken out many times so, the original bible got lost in translation from Aramaic to other different languages. The Son of God in those times does not mean literal son of God, it was a figure of speech given out of respect for those who has God chosen and who were pious, examples like Adam, Abraham, Moses,.Jesus and many more. Jesus was born by the power and will of God and perform miracles again by the power and will of God who created him. People are all responsible for their sins, and do not need a middleman for the sins to be forgiven by the one who created us all. God is merciful and forgiving if we pray and ask him directly. The Roman Empire and Paul are responsible for spreading false religion that Jesus himself never practiced. Jesus might be brown, because Israelite at the time were in Egypt and black people were building the pyramids and might have black blood in him. Determining precise descent-groups based strictly on patrilineal descent is problematic, owing to the fact that nations are not stationary. People are often multi-lingual and multi-ethnic, and people sometimes migrate from one country to another. By the way, Jesus was not born on December 25th, this was another invention date made by the Romans, chosen as a convenient date on the same day of a pagan holiday. Christmas actually evolved from pagan traditions celebrating the winter solstice. Jesus was born in the Spring not Winter. Another major fact is dying on the cross was used as punishment by the Romans during those times. While a crucifixion was an execution, it was also humiliating and gruesome, by making the condemned as vulnerable as possible. Do not you think God would save his chosen man from being humiliated and dishonored like this in front of the public? No he did not dye on the cross and yes, he is still alive in heaven and coming back to tell mankind the Truth. I suggest you read the book "The 100: A Ranking of the Most influential Persons in History" written by Michael Hart, an astrophysicist.

Hi to you too

[@yonasalemayehu1735]

in ethiopia orthodox there are 2 kind of wedding the first is called teklil. in this kind of wedding both the groom and the bride have to be virgins. the second one is called kurban. in this ceremony the bride and groom don't have to be virgins, anyone can get married in this type even if they are virgins. so the wedding you saw is either teklil or kurban. the first ceremony of the takes place inside the church at night and the second phase will be at their house or hotels or anywhere they want it to be. the second is less religious but cultural, there will be a lot of dancing, tej, tela and not to mention the delicious foods like kitfo, raw meat, gomen, ayib and many many more it is really beautiful. but not everyone marries this way, there is another type of wedding which is not religious, but still a priest will be present ;)

Lalibela is a town in the Amhara region of northern Ethiopia. It's known for its distinctive rock-cut churches dating from the 12th and 13th centuries, which are pilgrimage sites for Coptic Christians. Carved out of rock, the subterranean monoliths include huge Bete Medhane Alem, and cross-shaped Bete Giyorgis. Many are joined by tunnels and trenches, and some have carved bas-reliefs and colored frescoes inside.

Ethiopia is the first country on earth that accepted Eyesus Mesih (Christ) 2019 years ago. Ethiopia also worshipped the Most High the King of King's Selassie (Holy Trinity) long long before the birth of Eyesus Mesih (Christ). Holy Land Ethiopia is also chosen by the Most High Selassie to be the Seat of Tabote Tsion /Ark Of the Covenant.

[@QueenDesta]

am glad you enjoyed the video😊
