@aibn16 ethiopia was never muslim til the arabs came and asked for shelter while they were being persecuted. the ethiopians, in their generosity, opened the country up to the muslims and later some of the ethiopians become muslim themselves but for the majority ethiopia is proudly orthodox tewahedo christians....
really? What about the christianity you are talking about? did it begin in Ethiopia? where did it come from? you are one of ignorant people who call themselves Ethiopians!

EVERYBODY!!! Think about it, is your belief in order to get to heaven and live with the Lord Jesus, or is it only to make a routine and find something to do in life? Just asking. Accepting Replies.
Christianity in Ethiopia was not introduced by Egyptian monks, Ethiopia was one of the first few countries to accept the Original Christianity. Today, there are like a thousand sects in the western world. God bless Ethiopia and the world.
@goitomification As long as I know the religions of the world to be wrong, I will do no such thing. It is my mission in life to free your mind from the lies of that book.
@1turner22 I was raised Christian and for many years was one. I read the bible all the way through by age 12. reading that book destroyed my faith. You are fed tidbits and tastes of it weekly so you wont read it for yourself freely. You do not know the full story unless you have read it yourself, as I have done for every major religions texts past and present now.
That book has a few dozen inspiring and good clear messages, the rest is total fabrication and fables filled with horror from god.
@TheAnubisDrake well reading that book is what gave me clarity and it strengthen my faith along with millions of others, God does everything for a reason and for his purpose to show his Glory.. so tell me what is the full story? is it the fall of man and sin and God's purpose to redeem us by giving us Christ as a mediator or is the full story about how in the end God is merciful and compassinate and wants us to love freely?
christianity came first by the ethiopian man who was the minister of the queen and travel to jerusalm for celebration of the holly day and then he get one of the decipals of Jesus Phylipos(Dec8, from#26-40)on the river of Gaza and he baptized him. then he brought to his own country Ethiopia. that was the bignibng of christianity in Ethiopia not by Egyptian monk..thanks God bless all.
@MRSJACKIELAKE yes this is true but the Coptic Orthodox Church has played an important role in the nurturing and development of the Ethiopian Church it is not very far in 1959 when Pope Cyril VI of Alexandria ordained a new pope for the Ethiopian Church before that the Ethiopian Church is still attached to ours even now when the Coptic Pope visits Ethiopia he is welcomed in great joy as the descendent of St.Mark who brought christianity to Alexandria and Africa,, this truth must be mentioned
thank you my African brather for shining our history, dignity, strength, and long lasting freedom. to the world. God bless you for ever!!!! I love you
Ethiopia...mentioned in Genesis...Moses took an Ethiopian woman to wife...one of the first converts and baptisms in the book of Acts was the Ethiopian court official by Phillip....the Ethiopian was reading out of Isaiah
GOD BLESS YOU ALL !! I want to explain something; first off ,I am an white christian and I know Jesus was black and he was (black) jewish before becoming The Messiah and The ancient roman historian Josephus described Israelites as looking like Ethiopians and also My Blacks friends must know that ALL WHITE SUPREMACISTS WILL SAY IT DOESNT MATTER OF JESUS'S WHEN THEY FIND OUT HE WASNT WHITE. WELP..HE WAS BLACK NOT A WHITE EUROPEAN AND WHEN I SAY BLACK I MEAN LIKE THE NEGROES, NOT THE ARABS !
Fastenanting. Christianity thrived in North Africa, Egypt, Nubia. Before the Muslim invasion. Who failed to snub it out completely and Christians lived under dhimmidie oppression. True that LIvingston and others in the 19th cen, brought Christ to other areas of Africa. But they were first.
I need some one to answer if they follow same parables as whats taught in Christian Church. As there is no historical record of Moses, Abraham, Noah Adam/Eve and many others. Please we need evidence. Believing is fine, but doesnt make it truth. 1600 yrs ago is still early. I know the Ethopians cant believe there Jesus is a European. What is there stance on that ?
Bringing Christianity to Africa, by the One Holy and Catholic Church is to do among non ethiopian africans what ethiopians were unable to do for almost 2000 years. The Catholic Church is the fastest growing church in post-colonial Africa. ¿Why Ethiopians are unable to spread christianity at the speed of the Catholic Church?.
The first African converted was Baptized by Saint Phillip apostle, a eunuc, but before him the first not Jew baptized was Cornelius a Roman Soldier from Italy.
@jorgecarrillo2@jorgecarrillo2 Ethiopians believe in Jesus Christ, son of God, so that makes them just as christian as catholic people. What this video tells us is that there was christianity in Africa before missionaries came with their colonial projects. It also tells us to RESPECT this form of christianity and you will be surprised to learn that the way Ethiopian express their love for God may be familiar to the first followers of Christ. We use old times instrument, old times traditions
@jorgecarrillo2 so way also claim we practice the true christianity ? no, there is no "true christianity", all the Ethiopian people ask is that foreigners respect their traditions and leave them as such. We don't want imported marketing religions such as "pentes" (american evangelists). Ethiopia became the second christian state after Armenia in the beginning of the 4th century. it was made official by the king of Aksum, Ezana who willingly converted.
@jorgecarrillo2 1 ) ok you are comparing what can't be. The catholic church has had different challenges and different ressources than the Ethiopian church. While with Europeans, the missionaries precede the soldiers, Ethiopians do the opposite. Yet the result is the same. if we take actual Ethiopia the religion started spreading from the region of Aksum towards south-west in Begemeder, then Godjam and Shewa, the central highland, and even further south. Again, with the means of a single nation.
@jorgecarrillo2 2) Even before thinking of spreading christianity, Ethiopia, unlike Europe, had to struggle for the survival of its own christianity and existence. The major point being the 20 year ravaging war against muslims in 16th century. 3) Guess who came after that war : the catholics, leading to a civil war.
So there you go, Ethiopia didn't spread christianity because we were to busy dying for its survival.
@MekonnenAshenafi I am answering the video questions and claims, And yet you took it as if I was striking Ethopians, my case is to show that many claims of the video fall by their own weight, is is just a mater of pushing a bit to see them falling.
Noe REspecting to Muslims, we have to remember that Muslims were born not before 600, so what happened the first 600 years of ethiopian christianity?, where did it pread?
i feel bad for you, you like it or not Ethiopia did spread Christianity just read at your reason , you can say what you want but your heart knows the truth and fact. keep hating on Ethiopia. God has been and well keep protecting Ethiopia.
One historical resource, the book "Church History" was written by Eusebius of Caesarea, who lived from 263-339AD. This fascinating and exhaustive work is still available to us today.
It is available free as an audiobook from LibriVox.org
People who disrespects the beliefs of others are demonic. Why would you question how Gos has told people to worship. No one has no right to disrespect anyones beliefs. I am not a Orthodox nor Ethiopian BUT I HAVE RESPECT FOR THEM blogtv.com/People/bluntress
@bloodysoldier009 You are poorly educated and know nothing of what you speak firstly this is Orthodox Christian and exited along side other faces else's where in the world as-well. Look at Russia for Instant where holy city of kazan to both Islamic and Orthodox faith. Secondly your statement is false there has been countless bloodshed and wars over faiths in africa do know nothing about African history or recent events? Maybe you should better yourself in education.
@BahreNeGash Because they are descended from Catholic faith who branch off from the orthodox faith when the pope tried claim it self as the leader of all Christian faith. All those Western Christians faiths are descended from Catholic While Orthodox church stands unchanged for two thousands. It the Christian faith of Egypt, Ethiopia, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon Iran, Iraq(well genocided), Armenia, Serbia, Greece, Russia. Romania, Ukraine, Georgia.
Are you telling me Jesus Christ was Orthodox Christian?
Or the Greeks & Egyptian empires created Orthodox Church to expand their "conquest", just like the Romans created "catholic church to conquer Europe" & King James of England re-wrote the Bible (King James Version), created "protestant church" to fight against the Roman catholic conquest?
@BahreNeGash I would suggest you do the research your self and look at the history of Christianity and orthodox church because you no clue sorry. The churches founded by the Apostles themselves with the Patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch, Jerusalem, and Rome and Constantinople. The Rome split when it decided to take control with the pope. While the other Orthodox church stood unchanged. Sorry there was no history sending missionaries conquer and convert. These church's stood long before.
Ain't it funny, all the Churches, the Orthodox, catholics, Protestants, Pentecostals ALL claim to represent Christ, while waging endless wars against each other?
@BahreNeGash Perhaps you should research some history because there was no Orthodox church against another. I do remember crusaders launching countless wars against Orthodox church and Muslims.
Too bad, you know too litlle about how Christianity was used by the Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Russian & English to "EXPAND EMPERIAL CONQUEST.
FYI: Crusade was a war to FORCE convert Europe to Christianity & succumb to the Roman Empire, just as the Greeks, Turks, Russian, Armenian empires did before.
Sure, you will have hard time ACCEPTING that CHURCES have been instruments of conquest.
The Christian Bible & the rest of of the "HOLY BOOKS" state,,,,"Moses cried LET MY PEOPLE GO & CROSSSED THE ERYTHREAN SEA", to liberate his Jewish people from Egyptian slavery".
Now are you saying,,,the Holy Books are wrong to state Mosses crossed the "Erythrean sea"???
Nope, im saying your wrong for right FAKE history about Eritreans in the Old Tesement. I've looked everywhere about the same sea Moses liiberated his Jewish people from Egyptian slavery and all I found was the invasion of Bayblon.
The Northern Red Sea Region is amongst the coasts of Jordan, Egypt, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Eritrea. ... According to the bible, it was the sea that Moses crossed when he fleeing from Egypt ...
Both of you fail when you insist on implying Moses brought the "Jews" out of slavery when in fact it was the Hebrews who the Jews were just one small faction of.
Fricken tired of hearing these Jews rant and rave about being Gods chosen when it was the Hebrews who were chosen "to bring forth a messiah" .., its done., get over it already
proud to be orthodox and Ethiopian.peace and love for Serbian orthodox Russians orthodox Greece orthodox brothers and sisters love you all we have the purest religion in the world.
@leull they're eastern orthodox though, not oriental orthodox like armenia and ethiopia. armenia was the first country to convert to christianity anyway.
Why are you making such a big deal over the narration, which is done by Kwarme? If you want to talk logically about race, it's not 'pink man,' it's Caucasian.
I'm not a Christian because I fear death. That whole argument, you are religious because you fear death is extremely poor and easily refuted.
If you see all the religions of the World, you find the happy place, lets call it Heaven, and Heaven does seem to meet the definition of wish fulfillment, there is no sickness, it lasts forever, so you could see why a bunch of guys who wanted to make a better world would make up Heaven.
But why would anyone make up Hell? In every religion you've got the bad place, in fact in ancient Greek religion there was no good place..everyone went underground to a dismal Hades, and so the actual beliefs of religions in the World don't meet the wish fulfillment theory, so this has not faired very well.
I've never been persuaded by that argument, simply because it assumes that religious people and religious thinkers are somehow less self-critical, less suspicious of their own motives than atheists are! We've had some of the brightest minds in the history of human race as defenders of the Christian faith, and they are certainly as equally aware of human fallibility, human projection, human wishes, as any atheist would be.
@himmaggin I see where you are coming from, but bible was not narrated by a pink man. I was by middle-easterners who weren't white. Caucasian people didn't come till the Romans in the New Testament. It just through Roman control of the church (Roman Catholics) that the artists of the day depicted everyone (even the Ethiopians) as white. And they used the bible to justify their beliefs of slavery and discrimination. But that is human nature, not the bible. Christianity and Africa are alike.
And I thought you were down for the cause about Africans. Now your making petty remarks. Look where Christianity has been in Africa for, not the European missionaries. The Ethiopian official for Kandake. Even the parallels of Egyptian (really Ethiopian) religion with modern Judaism, Christianity, and Islam and where "Amen" gets its source. All principle to African origin. Do you want to discard every bit of info, whether you believe it or not. Listen, and see how you can use it.
I am down for my people. But never for chrisitanity. Don't get it twisted. It is also a waste of time to try the psychological approach when dealing with me. Read my comments before you attempt to enlist me in your struggle. I have said nothing positive of christians and despise christians as they tend to disrespect those who do not practice their form of paganism. To attempt to use my heritage as a link to those barbarians is erroneous.
Maybe I was wrong to say such a thing, but i reallyhave zero love for christians, muslims and jews. For too long folks attempted to prove their beliefs as opposed to finding truth. I seek only the truth. Never do i attempt to prove myself right. I simply seek knowledge. But when a person comes at me, especially after reading what i posted, i find it disrespectful. When you link my support for my people to support for xtrians, it is especially disrespectful and condescending. so check yourself.
Ok, but before you assume that every Christian comes with the same form of Christianity, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was a church found in Africa a millenia before Europe came with its form of Christianity. All I'm saying is this isn't a European form in Ethiopia. And digging deeper, what' your view Kemetic Religion as, with the Book of the Dead, Madonna and Child, Isis and Horus? All of Nile Valley origin. Put a focus on the mystery systems of Kemet and Kush, there is our spirituality.
I will continue to focus on uniting my people. I have absolutely no desire to discuss religion because it creates divides. Whenever religion comes into play it causes unnecessary discussions and angers people. I desire truth and never seek to prove what I believe. I despise religious zealots whose aim is to foster acceptance of their ideas as opposed to doing what is beneficial for my people.
@himmaggin Well then your not focusing on the unity of Africans. We're united by our culture, and our spiritual beliefs. Whether Kemet or Kush or Punt or Axum, our spirituality and culture and family structure serves as our way of life. Our true religion, found in the Kemetic and Kushite religious systems is our unity and liberation. To deny our spirituality, when Africans are a spiritual-centered people, is like being a European Marxist. Dead in spirit and family. That's not our purpose.
You keep linking your religion to our unity. It has done nothing for us so far. Listen to Malcolm X speak in Ballot or the Bullet and you may wise up. Religion divides. You are a religious zealot. I shun religion. So which of us is truly the divider? Ask the people on my page whether i am a unifier or divider and you will get your answer. Meanwhile, the church is getting rich while we starve at their doorstep.
@himmaggin My religion? I just said forget about all the religions seen now, its about spirituality. Kemet and Kush spirituality is the cornerstone of us Africans. You shun African spirituality? I heard all of X's speeches. Religion is an institution, but its the spiritual I focus on. My leaders Tenkamenin, Pianki, and Selassie knew it. I aint talkin the church, I speak our awareness. X knew it as a Black American. I speak Sankofa. To go back is to go back to our spiritual mystery systems.
If we desire our riches and glory, Africa it is. Forget about the eurocentric life and attitudes, return to our homeland as the warriors and monarchs. Return to our Kushite spiritual systems that precede Judaism and Christianity (BEFORE, so dont ever accuse me of pushing christianity again), our lifestyles of the glorified Kushite women, the homemakers (feminist women had no place in the Nubian home, women were powerful) and forsake the evils of this life forever.
You notice the first correspondence you hit me with said christaianity and Africa are alike. So before you try checking me, check yourself. I bore of these internet revolutionaries who speak one thing but mock it in the same breath. If you are down for us it will show. All of our intentions will show. If we can work together then we will set aside our differences. Please be aware that i subscribe to no religion and despise religion. My focus is on unity and unity only.
Christianity was based around our Kemetic Spiritual systems first in its Judeo forms. Once Rome got it, it became Catholicism as we see now. If u preach unity, we unite thru our cultures, languages, families & spirituality. I told u how African life is based on spiritual and cerebral living, but u focus on Christianity religion. If u want unity, just by calling ourselves black is conforming to what they call us. We are a way of life, melanin is our geographic marking, but we're more.
Remember this: the Ethiopians built Babylon, Aztec, and Shua civilizations, and brought vast knowledge on living, culture, and spiritual thinking. We cannot accept the corruption that has become of the societies that we built, but we cannot downgrade our societies. If anything, we must bring back our learning, but keep it exclusively for us. Rebuild our cities, watch theirs fall to its corruption, and relive our glorious past. But dont deny our spiritual purpose because Europe made Catholics.
@africaever Amazing. You attempt to analyze me then insinuae that I am denying my African spirituality. Listn good. I steer clear of anything related to religion because it is divisive. We will neve agree on spirituality or religion, but our blackness shos and cannot be hidden. That is the bond I focu on. So if you disagre, then keep on doing what you do. My concern is unity among my people. Religion ill only interfere. I am done with religion. If we cannot mov past that our comunication is over
So to quarterback this thing, despite I made it clear that its not a RELIGION thing (I am not a religious person), its African spirituality, never claimed a denial, u think if it seems like a religion its bad. Despite our cultural and language unity, u prefer to unite us based on the European concept of us being akin of color and nothing else. Despite a connection to African life thru the mystery systems and African living, its just black unite black, period? Ok, we're clear.
You are free to your opinions. I will keep on the path that I am on. I am absolutely uninterested in continuing this dialogue as it bears as much fruit as an arctic landscape. My position is never defined by none other than me. Label my actions in any way you choose. As long as my target audience gets the intended message, I am making the desired impact. My aim is not to please anyone. I seek only unity so call it what you must. Meanwhile genocide continues and we argue over pettiness.
I guess one thing we can agree on is we would like to see the progress of the African diaspora, whichever means we take. That's a common goal. In terms of mission, we'll agree to disagree. But African empowerment is the case here. BTW genocide occurs when u have a set of unwanted values, people (Europe, China) and concepts infiltrating. Or investing, if that's how its phrased. Expelling the "visitors" will help heal the problem. More than unity, we got to fight and kick em out!
@himmaggin This will be a classic case of W.E.B. DuBois vs Marcus Garvey, two men who believed their views on black people were correct but negated either ones' view. I view it as Africans reconnecting with everything African: spiritual, cultural, family, etc. You: black unity devoid of anything else, all about skin color. Been there before, had opposing views of reparations.
@himmaggin So African people are an atheist people? That's a European attitude. Forget about Christianity, Islam, or Judaism for awhile, think about Kemet and Kush and their religious systems. Because you aren't a believer in Christians, you deny the Kemet and Kush beliefs? That's our people. This is why I shudder at freedom fighters who came out claiming Black Unity but disregarded anything linked African. We aren't comrades! Commies and liberals don't care about us either.
Fuck you. Never have I stated we are atheist. Conversation with you is akin to befriending a lunatic-useless. Just ignore me. You are angry because i shun your pagan religion. Like I said before, shove it up your ass. Your opinion of me is meaningless. You call me a fake, but you continue to promote your religion and say that i am not a fighter because i am not a christian? Never have I disavowed anything african. Listen to my videos before you give any more proof of how misguided you are.
I can go back to pray God and be religious without resentment towards Whites and what my people went through because of them 500 years ago. Thank you so much for this, it means a lot to me. God bless.
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. I'm African and was raised by protestants parents. Recently I had discover how European Christianity totally RUINED Africa and supported the slave trade back in the day, and it made me so sick in the stomach that I started to hate Christianity as I thought it was a European-made religion. Little did I knew that REAL Christianity actually came from BLACK PEOPLE in Ethiopia. Now I just feel so good inside.

@1turner22 I was raised Christian and for many years was one. I read the bible all the way through by age 12. reading that book destroyed my faith. You are fed tidbits and tastes of it weekly so you wont read it for yourself freely. You do not know the full story unless you have read it yourself, as I have done for every major religions texts past and present now.
That book has a few dozen inspiring and good clear messages, the rest is total fabrication and fables filled with horror from god.

@TheAnubisDrake well reading that book is what gave me clarity and it strengthen my faith along with millions of others, God does everything for a reason and for his purpose to show his Glory.. so tell me what is the full story? is it the fall of man and sin and God's purpose to redeem us by giving us Christ as a mediator or is the full story about how in the end God is merciful and compassinate and wants us to love freely?

@MRSJACKIELAKE yes this is true but the Coptic Orthodox Church has played an important role in the nurturing and development of the Ethiopian Church it is not very far in 1959 when Pope Cyril VI of Alexandria ordained a new pope for the Ethiopian Church before that the Ethiopian Church is still attached to ours even now when the Coptic Pope visits Ethiopia he is welcomed in great joy as the descendent of St.Mark who brought christianity to Alexandria and Africa,, this truth must be mentioned

Bringing Christianity to Africa, by the One Holy and Catholic Church is to do among non ethiopian africans what ethiopians were unable to do for almost 2000 years. The Catholic Church is the fastest growing church in post-colonial Africa. ¿Why Ethiopians are unable to spread christianity at the speed of the Catholic Church?.
The first African converted was Baptized by Saint Phillip apostle, a eunuc, but before him the first not Jew baptized was Cornelius a Roman Soldier from Italy.

@jorgecarrillo2 @jorgecarrillo2 Ethiopians believe in Jesus Christ, son of God, so that makes them just as christian as catholic people. What this video tells us is that there was christianity in Africa before missionaries came with their colonial projects. It also tells us to RESPECT this form of christianity and you will be surprised to learn that the way Ethiopian express their love for God may be familiar to the first followers of Christ. We use old times instrument, old times traditions
MekonnenAshenafi 1 year ago
@jorgecarrillo2 so way also claim we practice the true christianity ? no, there is no "true christianity", all the Ethiopian people ask is that foreigners respect their traditions and leave them as such. We don't want imported marketing religions such as "pentes" (american evangelists). Ethiopia became the second christian state after Armenia in the beginning of the 4th century. it was made official by the king of Aksum, Ezana who willingly converted.

By the way, Cornelius was baptized by Saint Peter himself. Who later came to be the First Bishop of Rome.
jorgecarrillo2 1 year ago
@jorgecarrillo2 1 ) ok you are comparing what can't be. The catholic church has had different challenges and different ressources than the Ethiopian church. While with Europeans, the missionaries precede the soldiers, Ethiopians do the opposite. Yet the result is the same. if we take actual Ethiopia the religion started spreading from the region of Aksum towards south-west in Begemeder, then Godjam and Shewa, the central highland, and even further south. Again, with the means of a single nation.
MekonnenAshenafi 1 year ago
@jorgecarrillo2 2) Even before thinking of spreading christianity, Ethiopia, unlike Europe, had to struggle for the survival of its own christianity and existence. The major point being the 20 year ravaging war against muslims in 16th century. 3) Guess who came after that war : the catholics, leading to a civil war.
So there you go, Ethiopia didn't spread christianity because we were to busy dying for its survival.

It just through Roman control of the church (Roman Catholics) that the artists of the day depicted everyone (even the Ethiopians) as white. And they used the bible to justify their beliefs of slavery and discrimination. But that is human nature, not the bible. Christianity and Africa are alike.

Ok, but before you assume that every Christian comes with the same form of Christianity, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was a church found in Africa a millenia before Europe came with its form of Christianity. All I'm saying is this isn't a European form in Ethiopia. And digging deeper, what' your view Kemetic Religion as, with the Book of the Dead, Madonna and Child, Isis and Horus? All of Nile Valley origin. Put a focus on the mystery systems of Kemet and Kush, there is our spirituality.

@himmaggin Well then your not focusing on the unity of Africans. We're united by our culture, and our spiritual beliefs. Whether Kemet or Kush or Punt or Axum, our spirituality and culture and family structure serves as our way of life. Our true religion, found in the Kemetic and Kushite religious systems is our unity and liberation. To deny our spirituality, when Africans are a spiritual-centered people, is like being a European Marxist. Dead in spirit and family. That's not our purpose.

Christianity was based around our Kemetic Spiritual systems first in its Judeo forms. Once Rome got it, it became Catholicism as we see now.

If u want unity, just by calling ourselves black is conforming to what they call us. We are a way of life, melanin is our geographic marking, but we're more.
