[cheekkiller]

God bless them

[ndclossett]

You can call it that if that is such a word that pundits use to make fun of people who are touch and embark on a deeper spritual journey.

I dont laugh at saints praising his name, may the "ullulating" continue for the blood of Christ and GOD's continued mercy on his children.

[ronoman88]

Peace to our brothers in Jesus The Christ from the Ethiopian Orthodox Church from American Baptists! A beautiful ceremony. We hope all is well in Washington DC.

[JGi8]

I still don't get it, what are he differences among the Catholic Church, the Ethiopian,Greek,Russian,and Syrian Orthodox Churches, and the Portestant Churches? I mean we all believe in God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, We all believe in the Testimony of the Holy Apostles, so then there should be no differences.

[BijiKurdistan80]

Peace to all Christians, this is the time to unite

[teruboy5959]

JGi8- when your desire is what everyone wants (to unite in Christ) that is not the case because not everyone is preaching the True Jesus Christ. Every denominations you see has changed the right true teaching of the Orthodox Christianity. Some spliting because of politics and some spliting because they simply started to interp the bible like they wish, so there is differences.

not all that calls upon the lord is from lord

[eyobabay08]

protestant don't believe in st marry catholic and orthodox are very close but orthodox is the ancient and the original one.

[actionchild05]

i beleive in Mary but why would anyone praise Mary..for what??

She didnt die for you on the cross for the world..only Jesus Christ did!

i respect her but would i sing to her and praise her???...NO

Matthew 4:10

Then Jesus said to him, Begone, Satan! For it has been written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve.

The scripture says nothing about Mary, but if it does feel free to tell me where

God Bless

[Tigrigna]

there is nothing wrong with praising Mary or Saints. People even prais other people and aske other people to pray for them and what not...yea there is only one God but there is nothing wrong with praising good people for they have done good and they followed God's foot step...btw it does not matter what religion you have what matters is your belif and doing good there is a saying in Amharic "gulicha bilewawet wet ayatafit" ;) so all i can tell you to do is be good "LOVE is the answer"

[PaganFreak9210]

The orthodox and catholic chruch had a great schism, how ever they wanted to break away from the pope, it started as an argument about icons.

it shouldnt matter the denonination.

we are all one in jesus christ our saviour, who was crusafied and died for our sins. i am an x-pagan who found the love of christ.:):):):)

[malatosta]

the orthodox chruch was the first chruch ever created the way God wanted to be worshiped

[passwordthisasspart2]

I stand corrected . I still think Christianity is the most evil institution on the planet , but I was wrong about their native culture !

[actionchild05]

Why do you beleive that?

[vaio720]

AXIOS1...AXIOS!...AXIOS!...may GOD bless their ministires and remember them in His Kingdom!...MANY YEARS!!...

[passwordthisass]

This video shows a tragedy . The rape of Africa of its natural culture . Christianity is a disgrace and if there is a hell those who spread this poison will go there .

[bezmolvie]

Ethiopia was Christian during the times of the Apostles. It is their natural culture.

[nicephor]

Ethiopia is one of the oldest Christian cultures.

[branim]

i am member of serbian orthodox church and i will be a deacon soon time, so this is glory to Our God and we must prise Him in his Holy Trinity

[oneloveethiopia]

Thank you GOD it's about time

temesgen we got more papapsat

[jv134thstreet]

As a African American Episcopalian who is intrigued with the Eithiopian Orthodox church, PLEASE explain what the disagreement and concern here is...please I am very interested!

[teruboy5959]

If you are intrugued to learn about the Ethiopian Orthodox church first learn the teachings and doctrines of our church before asking about the disagreement. I would be very happy about discuss with you about our Apostolic church

[chris101325693]

fucking wierd kanguage

[Teqee]

O lord How is that a blessed people are crowning bishops outside the hallowed grounds of Ethiopia where the true tabot rests which is where all our bishops (true bishops) have been crown in peace for 2000 years.

Fall from grace.

Oh how it hurts Lord.

Please help us; especially the well meaning and innocent people who do not know what this really is.

To all who saw this video. I am sorry. Our bishops are always ordained in Ethiopia, nowhere else.

[Teqee]

Oh Egzio have mercy. Please restore us to your grace.

O Egzio Please direct us our Lord. Please help us out of this terrible horror.

[Teqee]

God Look away from the sins of my people (your people still.... I pray), our clergy who are filled with disdain and contempt and are brutal and unforgiving in nature. But happily and proudly divide your people and Holy Church while adorning themsleves in fancy robes and hats; placing grandios titles on themsleves. I know 'they' really believe tbat this is your hope and will.



WE know deep down in our hearts and souls that this is not your way.

Amen

[omofilofilos2]

this is illegal and shouldnt have happened. they are being schismatics of the church! all oriental orthodox accept Abba Paulus as patriach so why is makarios ruining the church?!

[CherishWinds]

if mr. merkarios was "of God" he would accept the decision of the church, and not be full of pride and mislead these people. what a tragedy this human being is.

[edolch]

I love the look on the Anglican bishop's face. He is in the front reading through the little paper thing and his face is just hilarious. Lol!

[saifepetros]

What?!These are criminals/racists. Mr. Mercurios & his sons are not elects of God, but of themselves. Saul was elect of God, but dethroned-so too, Mr.Mercurios. Blessing murderers and apostates. Attempting to divide the holy Orthodox Church of Ethiopia...

God have mercy upon us.

[selambelay]

Let no one judge; their is one Lord, Master, Savior and Judge and his name is The Lord Jesus christ. Not, Mary, Peter nor Paul judges us, lest the Gospel of christ they received and witnessed by the God The Holly Spirit, who is one with the father and the Son. Even the Angel Gabriel who is a messenger of God, and John the Baptist did, refused to be nothing but messengers sent of the Trinity or ELOHIM> Is a plural name for God.

[teruboy5959]

Of course the ONE JUGDER is Jesus Christ. But he said to his disciples "when the kingdom of Heaven comes you (the 12 holy disiples)will sit 12 seats and jugde the world." But since its Saints nature to put themselves down before there lord, they have said i am like a worm ect... putting themselve down. that doesnt mean you should be hating on them saying they are nothing. please read the bible carefully

[selambelay]

Man is made a little less than the Angles, they are messenger, servants, and worshipers of the creator. Elohim is infinite every thing else is finite. Other than Jesus all humans are sinners saved by grace. There are humans chosen for Gods plan of salvation. Jesus said unless you eat my flesh and drink my blood...is symbolic.

[masacrist]

Bob Marley converted to orthodox christianity before he died

[196121]

God bless my church,

God bless Haile Selassie who was there when I attended in 1997/98. Please come again Mr. Brown and Mr. Boney!

I have often been critized for attending this church because I don't speak the language verbally. Howebit I speak with my Father . Blessed be the Ethopina Orthodox church for never scorning or looking down on a retch like me.

[FUNDACIONNEGRA]

Christianity in Ethiopia is long before catholic rome,

[shire4life]

they do nt no wht they r doing aw god 4 give them

this is end of de wold

[caydamien02]

wow... im an asian catholic, never seen this before.. hope the bishops will strive to keep the apostolic inheritance to preach our LORD's gospel..halelujah. i think the muslim adopted the Christian religious vestment coz its very similar anyway.. Praise JESUS!!

[kingfoxIII]

Catholics are good buddes with Muslims. thats the end of this world.

[voice4orthodox]

In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit...

peace be to all

[titisa6010]

it is a nice change go for it. we proud of you all abatoch.thanks GOD

[voice4orthodox]

God is great!

Blessings to you all. Thank you so much for posting this beautiful video. Thank you for sharing Orthodox Christianity with the world.

Does anyone know where to find Ethiopian Orthodox chant on CD?

God bless

[elsabeth29]

nither by the blood of got and calves but by his own blood he entered in once in to the holy place having obtained eternal redemption for us. heb 9-12 god bless you .

[beyene1985]

Make sure to google this EOTC and watch the vidio under vidio search it's a news that talks about this priest and how Ethiopia does not consider them pops no more and Aba Merkorios to be called by his old name Aba Zelibanos

[titisa6010]

You know what if you are a true ortodox memen or ...first you have to respect your father that is the main and the first thing in the bible

[Tewahedo]

The problem this that these days people like Beyene1985, thinks they know about EOTC and wrongly accuse our church fathers like they have, the authority, the knowledge and the skill. May the lord have mercy on all of us.

[beyene1985]

Let me guss people like u know abt EOTC

[Tewahedo]

I never said I do, but at least I don't put people down, specially people I don't know not let a Patriarch. And if you knew His Holiness you wouldn't have said what you did, which shows you don't know about him. And if you did know about EOTC faith and order you would have put your self at the bottom of the list. Don't take me wrong but Jesus Christ won the world by being humble and patient

[beyene1985]

to begin wit u don't know me there for you don't know who and what i know and r u telling me Abune Merkorios put him self at the bottom of the list and is humble and patient. I think not and btw i don't put anyone down and it's not my place to i just make sure people know both side of the story cuz trust me my brother i know a lot more than you think i do and both Paulos and Merkorios know me

[Tewahedo]

I never said I knew about you nor I discourage your knowledge about EOTC. H. H. Abune Merkorios is among the most patient and humble person on earth. Remember The holy spirit has anointed him as 'Holy" and your little comment on youtube isnot going to take that away. I was just refering to the idea you mentioned whcih simply confuses people. To let others know about the church, You must be certain and talk about the truth. Just because His Holiness knows you doesn't mean you know about him.

[teferiehaile]

beyene1985:must u comment in everything? God!

u say they both knw u! hum...if they know u u should be holding a bible somewere & teaching PPl God's way ...but u just have to say somethen about everythn! Anet Mechame Yeneay Mekere Ayadenehem ..Sebel New Enji..

[beyene1985]

My mind is capable of passing beyond the line that you'r mind have drawn for it I don't have a narrow mind like u'r self my brother I let my mind loose and learn and know everything and anything and for u'r information I will comment everywhere  as they say Knowledge can be communicated: it just shows that u don't have any knowledge to pass on

[teferiehaile]

I knew you were gone comment on my comment so there is no point .

Mr Knowing it all ! keep it up! Mechereshashe Mabede New Menchegeren!

[heracles89]

Orthodoxy, the future of the world!

[bsahle]

God is GREAT!

[bmamoeth]

For all true Orthodox Tewahedo believers, when you post your comment, please use church language, and focus on the solution than magnifying the difference. Let's avoid hate and save our church together. The truth will set us free, seek the truth.

[AbbaTateq]

Jesus is the truth! And Jesus is one - be it in his nature or his hypostasis! This is the true teaching of Tewahedo! TeWAHEDo is about Oneness... so why is there all this fighting and cursing and unchristian behaviour and disunity which only pleases Satan and not God? Unity is the way! United we stand - Divided we fall!

[seifeseattle]

perfect explanation...

[ethiogirl310]

Egziabeher Yibarek! We are so BLESSED to have all of these fathers in North America. God is Great!

[miajnorway]

...for some reason they remind me of the priests and high priest who crucified christ. Watch The Passion of The Christ to have a vivid image.

[196121]

The passion of the christ my dear is only mimicked from partial truths, and do remember you are only looking at a movie. May oru true Lord and Saviour raise your mind.

[AbbaTateq]

They exactly look like them! But don't forget... that was a movie...

[asebot]

We believe in One, Holy and Universal Church of God. Let us not set a new rules here. Neither St.Athnasius or any other Holy Father have taken the Synod with them during their exile. This is new to the Church of 2000 years. Is this about self dignity and earthly glory or about the heavenly life. Will this benefit the church, will this gather the lost sheeps? Are we in communion with the One who said He came to earth to serve others not to be glorified?

[Tewahedo]

This is not about self glory. It is about truth. It cannot be hidden and GOD has chose this time and place for the truth. Besides this isnot new to the church. And of course it will benefit the church as it will gather the lost sheeps. I agree in one Universal Church of God ..how it should be! But most of us are still dwelling around old testment and have difficulties differentiating faith and culture.

[asebot]

The EOTC is two thousand old.Who are the people who are trying to diffrentiate the faith from the culture and become the revealer of the generation? The church definately had so many scholar for the knowledge and martyrs for sacrifying their life; do any of the new breed reformer had any of the qualities of the previous saintly people? Tradition is our pride, which show us the apostilic way.Why reformation now? Why not when they are at home and when they have the authority?

[Tewahedo]

There is a difference between faith and Culture, and that is a fact! Now, I wouldn't call church fathers new breed and they never talked about reformation. I suppose you know very little about EOTC faith and order. The church still has many scholars. Many have over 30+ years of service and you call them new breeds with out quality? God has chosen them to serve him on earth and that is the apostilic way.

[yohay124]

Amen Bro...

[AbbaTateq]

Watch your language!

[gabealem]

hailex watch your language. I am so happy. Long live Abune Merkorios. I have the pleasure to be taught by Abune Lucas and Abune Yohaness, they are there in the middle, and Abune Zena Markos, lique papas.

[AbbaTateq]

May our Lord and Saviour and God reunite those spiritual fathers with the one and holy Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo church! I hope they leave their destructive ways with which they do nothing but harm the church.

[emekonen]

i dont understand, what do you mean?

[AbbaTateq]

I am talking about the actions of both synods!They fight eachother all the time, while there are so many other more pressing problems!Our Church needs to face the reality out there:The Menafeqan and extremist Muslims have started a widespread campaign to convert the Orthodox Christians.And instead of spending their money and time fighting eachother those "bitsuan" fathers should work together and stand as one - TEWAHEDO! For the good of our Church and our People! Ahadu Amlak,Ahadu Bete Kristian!

[AmilakAale]

I Believe they know better than us. Let us clean ourselves first, do not give comments, He(GOD) only Knows and choose his follwers. may God get us togther again. amen

[zenimother]

I totally agree.GOD Bless!!!

[Ethiohahu]

AmilakAale,I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!!!Hope the LORD will let us all get together AGAIN.One Orthodox!!!GOD Bless Ethiopia!
