Praise and worship is only for our LORD GOD Jesus Christ. The holy bible strictly teaches us to call and praise the Name of our only LORD GOD JESUS! Singing and praising to any other is blasphemy and a great sin that will hinder human beings from entering the Kingdom of God.

[which is how the name of the messiah was pronounced before multiple translations led to the distorted name we use today. (When the bible was translated into Latin there was no J, you can Google the rest)]
Did not leave behind any graven image. We should pray with our hearts and minds, not with our eyes. If there was a cover-up it will be revealed in the end. It makes no difference.
disheartening to see Ethiopian/Eritrean worshipping white Jesus and white Mary. I wonder way the Vaticans and Spanish churches in Spain have black Mary with baby Jesus hidden from the public view. The truth is Jesus described to be a black man in the Bible but we have been brain washed by the Europeans to worshipping white Jesus to deceive us from our true identity. God would never pick the wicked white people to be chosen people. They are the true devils walking in disguise.
@zxa105@zxa105 i wish somehow you could understand what we believe. don't say white Jesus or Mary, it is our lord christos and his chosen mother kidist dingil mariam. what do you mean deceive us from our true identity? i am black Ethiopian but what make me proud is not my color but me being a christian. i am sorry if you see only the "white" out of this icon. but we see the power of the love of god that sent him to earth to teach us love ,forgiveness. i hope God forgives all of us from our sins
@zxa105 Unfortunately the head of our church is a devil worshipping uncle Tom bent on destroying the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido house of God. He assumed power as head of our church illegally and is a political rather than spiritually appointed patriarch. his only concern is the white mans money and luxury goods as well as resplendant robes and gangster style jewellery which no Ethiopian papas has ever before indulged in. He has installed sattelite TV and has a bullet proof limousine.
@zxa105 Apart from the white washed icons, please note the sunflowers in the video. The sunflower is a symbol of devil worshiping NEW AGE white folk! ..What this unholy item is doing in our holy places is another question with a disappointing answer.. Regardless of seeing such sad things happening in Ethiopia and its ancient holy religious places we must not give up hope. God will protect Ethiopia and Christ will defend the EOTC!!. Stay confident in the victory of good over evil. Amen!
We don't worship Mary. We only give her the honor she deserves. Our icons are a "window into heaven." We honor the images as we honor the pictures of our loved ones.
@Zovlanov Well I aint racist, White people are! and I dont want to worship White man's propoganda!!!!!!!!, It is true but worshiping a lie, knowing the truth is hidden by white people making themselves, holly like and black people lower is the most racist thing done on black man and This is fight of Black man, anways you paint Him white and yet white people are known for their arrogancy, God is humbled by black (slave) and Annoyed by Slavereer (White man). I aint racist, IT is the Ugly Truth!
well i'm so sorry if u have a bad experience with white guys and white racist. but your reaction doesn't show that your attitude are better than them.
"fire can't extinguish fire itself, only water can do it" GBU
Are you a Christian? If you're not then the skin tones of the historical Jesus and Mary shouldn't be of any relevance to your life. But if you are a believer, your worship of our lord Jesus Christ must NOT be contingent upon his appearance! When I get to heaven and see Him in person at last, I won't care if He's white, black, yellow, or purple, just that He died for my sins and those of all humanity.
God loves all of you in Ethiopia who still worship the true faiths of Christianity and Judaism long live all of you and death to Islam greetings from all Serbs
@changeishere2008 Hm traditional christians who belong to an apostolic church, like them, and me, believe Jesus is God the son. Mary is his mother, worthy of all praise, and we love to pray with her to God whom she accepted and offered to us. <3
watching ethiopian orthodox mezmurs has refreshed my faith like nothing else and i don't understand a word. we need you to show us westerners how to worship with reverence and joy, with love and humility, with togetherness and with heart, outdoors with liturgical beauty and dress. thank you so much. is there a way to english lyrics to the songs?
@eulwazzup10 Oh my friend you considered your self as good in bible.But don't think that.B/c there are people who knows Holy Bible more than you know but they remain as they don't know nothing.Most protestants talk about Bible.But they don't perform what the Bible orders.Don't deny this bb/c I live with protestant roomates who drink alot not only drink,they are also sexy...

@jimma304 Just think what God has done for you,look the thing around you and the main thing read the bible and LIVE with it. Just like Orthodox people. Don't just rad it and say "wow" You have to live with it..Pray so hard not for a couple of min per day. listen Mezmur often than any other things you will find him. when you find him you will be Strong, Rich, Hopefull and Peacefull cause Jesus is the only source for this .God bless you and God bless Orthodox forever!!
There are lots and lots of quotes like this..saying that Christ is God, and Saints yamalidalu...The pastors own their helina so they would do anything they say even ignore the bible.

dude do me a favor walk out side & look at the sun well u can't.what makes u think u r capable of judging the good LORD saying he's a man while u can't even look at the damn sun????????
what do you mean by this? i cant look at sun? just get some sunglasses. or welding glass. then you can see. anyway how many gods are they? 1? FALS! jesus is god and jesus have a father that is allso god now 2gods and the holly spirit. now wtf is this shit. is there 1 god or 2? or 3?? and they were no clue of worldwide flood 4000 years ago. and i have never ever seen TALKIMG SNAKE. i dont belive that. no sry. and the snake never had a leg. that proofs the snake DNA. and its evolution sequence.
Jesus is called God's Son, and it is written that God came down to us through and in the Lord Jesus Christ. that is how we say Jesus is God, and Man. anyone can look at the created world, and see there is a God. He is a God who chose to send His Son, who is the fullness of the Father dwelling in human flesh, to save us, and reconcile us to Him. if you seek the truth about Jesus the Messiah, God who loves you will answer.
so the lord was withing Jesus and came down. but Jesus him self was not god! OK! who was Jesus praying to when the god him self was within Jesus? why would this all mighty god NEED to come to earth to save us from WHAT? why would god do something terrible to human at first place and then save us? when i see this earth we live in, i see a fascinating pure chance of things happening by them self, without Jesus has to involve in it.
actually, God didn't do anything terrible to humans. according to the Bible is was the foolishness and rebellion of humans which brought sin and sadness into the world. but God sent His Son to atone for our sin (which seperates us from Him) and reconcile us to Himself. so if you know and belong to Jesus, you know and belong to God, the Creator. and the universe operates based upon the laws and measurements God has put in order.
creationist and science has always been in conflict. but we can see clearly today the science is wining the debate. people are seeing light, and coming out of the darkness and restrictions of religion. but people like you try to avoid that to happen. and want to still believe that snakes can talk.
hey, why can't people beleive what they want? what you call darkness has brought the joy and peace of the Living God into my life. trust me brother, i've been where you are. a skeptic and a scoffer on the outside, confused as to how anyone could trust or understand Christian faith. it's not easy to understand, and it's certainly not logical to many people. for me it's not avoidance- it's what i have found to be true after years of seeking and asking and debating.
also, it is our human need which sent Jesus, not God's need. God didnt need to send Christ, but becayse of our need for Him, He sent Him for us. and while the universe moves as it does whether you know Jesus or not, you can not personally be reconciled to or know the thinks of God without knowing and being humbled before Jesus- who is both historical, and eternal.

well, no i am not a sceptic, i relly know what faith is all about. its a spiritual world. it may make you feel comfort and give you a hope that someone is always watching over you and what you do. but that doesnt exist. (its like closing your eye to just not see all the problems even tho you know they are there.) come on open your eye. this life you are living here today is the only one you will ever live! use it! we are extremely lucky to be born and to be here at first.
i agree with you a lot. faith should never be an excuse not to use our brains, or not to make the best of life! our lives are a gift, and we should use them to honor God, make the best of our talents and resources, and bless and help others. God will help us and give to us, but He wants us to make the best use of this life He's given us, and remember that we only get one life.
Philip 2:6 who though he existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped,but emptied himself
by taking on the form of a slave,by looking like other men,and by sharing in human nature. He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death even death on a cross!
Réponse sommaire à samyaddis... Chacun de célébrer le Seigneur à sa façon(les origines de la Bible sont ce qu'elles sont...) Et "tout ce qui monte converge (T. de Chardin) Alors on converge ou on descend ... Un choix de vie L'important c'est la foi et le reste, le cérémonial... qu'il aille suivre un office orthodoxe pour les chants à trois quatre, cinq voix sans accompagnement de musique aucune : et là l'âme vibre et s'élève vers l'Eternel! et les discussions??
these immages are not the ancent ethiopian. these immages made vy some tugs in the streets of Europe. i urge chrstian ethiopians to bow to the orginal immage mad in ethiopia 900 years ago. they are found in monsteries( gedamat)
When I saw the brotha bowing down before images of Beings that do not 'physically' reflect him; something moved in my spirit and it's nothing nice! I immediately felt that this was an unnatural occurence... I feel that this sort of practice is the root of black inferiority... The idolization of false Gods and Beings that DO NOT reflect the God pressence within is down right illogical and extremely non-progressive and I don't care what anyone has to say about it!
People who fixate on so-called 'race' are generally unhappy. Look past the colour of the ikon to Who is represented thereon and what the brother is singing about. Not all of the world is as 'race' obsessed as the US. You will see 'white' Orthodox Christians bowing to ikons depicting 'black' saints and vice versa. Righteousness has no colour nor does wickedness. Investigate Oriental Orthodox Christianity. Everyone's bloodline goes back to the same grandparents: Adam & Eve. Peace to you sister.
A lot of psycological damage has been done to the collective black conciousness in America due to centuries of white supremacy. What is displayed here is a reminder of this fact! You say that color doesn't matter and in a perfect world this is true but color does matter to "the establishment" because they systematically promote larger than life white Gods only. As part of our healing American blacks MUST see Gods, super-heroes and dieties IN OUR image as well whites and everyone else - period!
Dear orthodox bros and sists, peace in the name of Lord: It is time for all of us to preach for the kindgom of God. We have to fight satan who is deviding us in to paul and merkori or what so ever. Please think that Jesus is one and we are followers of the Him. Let us stand together and help our church and country.
Please my friend just think and imaging I'm not saying that you have to follow mine but what I mean is you just think and you will know that islamic is the right please open your mind %100 or better then you will know!!!!!!!!!!!
first aske about islam then decide to believe what relgion is right It's inpossible to believe that Jessus is the God or the God's son please don't make me die please !!!!!!!!!
Jesus is God he is the son of God he is the begining and the end. Salvation is only trough Jesus Christ. Why don't you try Jesus then you will know that there is no other God. It very simple you can ask the Lord Jesus Christ to come into your heart and be king of your life. May God Bless you
There is no salvation through St Mary. If you read the bible you will see that salvation is only through Jesus Christ, He is the only one who paid for our sins.
Theotokos (Mary) guides us and helps us as well as other Saints, although yes Christ is the only one who died for us, and if not for him we would have to follow Jewish law.
There is no such thing in the bible, can you prove me wrong by telling me which verse or passage from the bible say that St Mary or other Saints guide us.
Unfortunatly I do not know of a verse, this doesn't mean that theres not since I don't have the Bible memorized, but if the very first Christian church did this why let a man in 1517 change this?
You can read the new testament and you will see no such things, nowere in the bible its say pray for St Mary or other Saints. Can you tell me where you got the part where you said the very first Christian churh did that.
The Orthodox Church was the very first church and we pray the same then as we do now. If you don't want to accept the Orthodox then you'd have to accept the Catholics as the first church, but the Catholics also pray to saints.
My friend, The orthodox church accept not only the bible but the holy tradition which the apostiles and their diciplines had been using. And it is 100% sure that the appostles as well as their disiplines have the same beiefe as today's orthodoxes. The major difference between protestants and orthodoxes is that we orthodoxes believe in sprit, holy tradition and bible. Where as you believe only in material.YOu believe only on ritten thing not of the holysprit who spoke through our apostlic father

pray is only to God, no one else. But while praying we include angels and Mary in them to help us. The point of angels is to send God's messages and they help God, they are in front of Him all day everyday, why not give them the respect? No its not in the bible to pray to them but there are many exaples of people including them to help them and they do. If God provides them to us for us to use them then why not?
We do have to follow Jewish laws if you were Jewish first. As an Ethiopian Orthodox, you do because they were Jews before Christians. Egyptions were Gentiles bofore Christian so they don't have to. Now when Jesus came he said that we can keep the traditions of the Aposiles and who didn't before, it does not count against them. But Spinoda7 and Samyaddis, assuming that yall are Ethiopian, You're supposed to follow these laws
Menafikan? ahahaha I havent heard that word in so long? what else do you guys use to call us apart from menafekan? hmm pente kostay hahahaha.. I remeber two girls calling me that one day at school .. Now I look back and laugh.. the ethiopian mentalty never changes.. its real sad.. real real sad..

Currently the church in the ethiopia is strengthing as a number of preaching in diversified topics are being given. So the church outside the country has to use resources. Every orthodox christian especially the young has to know the dogma and cannon of the church. The church has been teachning the truth and will do the same forever. Guys know yours before visiting others. If you know orthodoxy u will be biult on rock.Otherwise you are on sand. Take care
Christiangirma, what you said does make sense but the only problame is that not a lot of pople know about that, I think poeple convert to other religions because of those simpe prinseples that we do not understand. peace god bless
The most important thing is salvation which is a gift of God for all of us, its up to us to accept it or not. Jesus Christ he died for our sins so that we might live. All of us we must repent of our sins and live a christian life. Jesus Christ is the answer for everything.
Using icons is not good beacuse you see that some people they worship them. The bible it is the word of God and everything we do it have to be accoding to it. No place in the bible it say use icons.
I dont know way but I have been doing that until my father read the bible and tall me it was wrong. Attending the church in Ethiopia I have never heard any on talked abut how the worship of the Image works. I believe we as orthodox oat to enforce Ethiopian church to teach what exactly the bible say rather than telling as fear history and honestly some times wrong massage (specially during 4:00P.M. sermons).
My brother RATFIT, It is to share you my knowledge about the images and the orthodox church. I grew up in sunday school and tried to understand the teachings of the church in every aspect. The formal chuch teaching doesn't say to worship the images of Jesus or any saint. As you might face the preachers always say worship only God.(Math 4, exo 20) and this is the true teaching of the church. But the chuch uses icons. We use icons for two reasons: first for textual description of the bible /books.
Hi, I love orthodox, perhaps, I will die being orthodox. However, no one had told me when I was back home about what the image is about, rally! I have stop worshiping on the images after I came to U.S. If you remember you go to any church in Ethiopia you will see People touching the image and rube their face.
I am not a Christian, but learned that according to Eastern Orthodoxy (distinct from the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition), reverence shown to an icon accrues to its "prototype" i.e. the portrayed saint or holy figure who is revered, but NOT worshipped (unless it is an icon of Christ.) I do not claim to understand this doctrine in detail, or to know whether or how it applies to Ethiopian Orthodoxy.
@RATFIT Images are earthly windows on heaven. Praying before an icon is not against the bible. The icons are not another God. Veneration of Christian icons represents an earthly type of worship of the One God of Christianity.
I am orthodaox but I sotp laying under mary or and church pictur. becaus the orthodaox bibel forbid in worsipin in any kind of image. So all ethiopian as butifull as our belive is, we have to corect the worsiping on the image.
Dear RATFIT,we ethiopian orthoodox christians don't worship images of any kind.I can explain this some other time if u want.i have got to go now...give me ur email..i will tell u in detail how i got out of pentecostal beleif.God bless
You are right, the prostrations before the image of our Lord or the Virgin Mother are directed to Heaven and not the image. The Icon is but a window to Heaven.
In Christ, God Bless the Ehtiopian Orthodox Church.
The bible in Revelation 22 verse 8 8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me. 9 But he said, No, dont worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!
As far as I can tell, regarding the "graven image", the Catholic Church employs the use of statuary for the most part while the Orthodox Churches incline toward iconography. And in this case, extremely vibrant paintings. Some of these paintings are obviously influenced by European works but the artists were not painting them for use in Catholic worship/mass. Plus, the art that influenced this art is great. Great art influences great art. Just ask the painters.
The icons are venerated, not worshiped. These icons are created to honor the saints and direct worship. This is because we pray to the image not the paint or wood of the icon. The icons are holy images that require discipline, prayer, fasting, and the blessing of the Bishop to paint. As for actual worship, we sing and pray, sometimes facing the icons because it directs our worship the image of God. They are not graven images, but symbols, as an online icon would direct you to another page.
The Bible teaches that whenever the creation wants to correct the Creator, its a sign of ignorance not knowledge. The only way one can conclude that this is the time of knowledge is if one is looking at this from the worldly point of view. From the spiritual point of view, its time of destruction. knowledge acquired about the world and small "facts" are irrelevant to spirituality. may i kindly remind you that Jesus did not choose scholarly geniuses who understood the bible to be his disciples.
Wow, it's amazing that in this time of such great knowledge, some continue to walk in ignorance behind the guise of religion or tradition.Your scripture tells you to make no image to bow down to,or worship,or make no representation of God.And if color does not matter, why is that image you bow to, so white. No persons native to Israel in that time of history was white. It's time for the Orthodox church stop practicing white supremacy and misinformation,in God's name.

Personally I pray to no physical image.

He assumed power as head of our church illegally and is a political rather than spiritually appointed patriarch. his only concern is the white mans money and luxury goods as well as resplendant robes and gangster style jewellery which no Ethiopian papas has ever before indulged in. He has installed sattelite TV and has a bullet proof limousine.

@zxa105 Apart from the white washed icons, please note the sunflowers in the video. The sunflower is a symbol of devil worshiping NEW AGE white folk! ..What this unholy item is doing in our holy places is another question with a disappointing answer.. Regardless of seeing such sad things happening in Ethiopia and its ancient holy religious places we must not give up hope. God will protect Ethiopia and Christ will defend the EOTC!!. Stay confident in the victory of good over evil. Amen!

Are you a Christian? If you're not then the skin tones of the historical Jesus and Mary shouldn't be of any relevance to your life. But if you are a believer, your worship of our lord Jesus Christ must NOT be contingent upon his appearance! When I get to heaven and see Him in person at last, I won't care if He's white, black, yellow, or purple, just that He died for my sins and those of all humanity.

Jesus is called God's Son, and it is written that God came down to us through and in the Lord Jesus Christ. that is how we say Jesus is God, and Man. anyone can look at the created world, and see there is a God. He is a God who chose to send His Son, who is the fullness of the Father dwelling in human flesh, to save us, and reconcile us to Him. if you seek the truth about Jesus the Messiah, God who loves you will answer.
graceinmay 2 years ago
so the lord was withing Jesus and came down. but Jesus him self was not god! OK! who was Jesus praying to when the god him self was within Jesus? why would this all mighty god NEED to come to earth to save us from WHAT? why would god do something terrible to human at first place and then save us? when i see this earth we live in, i see a fascinating pure chance of things happening by them self, without Jesus has to involve in it.
saleall 2 years ago
actually, God didn't do anything terrible to humans. according to the Bible is was the foolishness and rebellion of humans which brought sin and sadness into the world. but God sent His Son to atone for our sin (which seperates us from Him) and reconcile us to Himself. so if you know and belong to Jesus, you know and belong to God, the Creator. and the universe operates based upon the laws and measurements God has put in order.
graceinmay 2 years ago 2
creationist and science has always been in conflict. but we can see clearly today the science is wining the debate. people are seeing light, and coming out of the darkness and restrictions of religion. but people like you try to avoid that to happen. and want to still believe that snakes can talk.
saleall 2 years ago
hey, why can't people beleive what they want? what you call darkness has brought the joy and peace of the Living God into my life. trust me brother, i've been where you are. a skeptic and a scoffer on the outside, confused as to how anyone could trust or understand Christian faith. it's not easy to understand, and it's certainly not logical to many people. for me it's not avoidance- it's what i have found to be true after years of seeking and asking and debating.
graceinmay 2 years ago
also, it is our human need which sent Jesus, not God's need. God didnt need to send Christ, but becayse of our need for Him, He sent Him for us. and while the universe moves as it does whether you know Jesus or not, you can not personally be reconciled to or know the thinks of God without knowing and being humbled before Jesus- who is both historical, and eternal.

well, no i am not a sceptic, i relly know what faith is all about. its a spiritual world. it may make you feel comfort and give you a hope that someone is always watching over you and what you do. but that doesnt exist. (its like closing your eye to just not see all the problems even tho you know they are there.) come on open your eye. this life you are living here today is the only one you will ever live! use it! we are extremely lucky to be born and to be here at first.

i agree with you a lot. faith should never be an excuse not to use our brains, or not to make the best of life! our lives are a gift, and we should use them to honor God, make the best of our talents and resources, and bless and help others. God will help us and give to us, but He wants us to make the best use of this life He's given us, and remember that we only get one life.

Philip 2:6 who though he existed in the form of God did not regard equality with God as something to be grasped,but emptied himself
by taking on the form of a slave,by looking like other men,and by sharing in human nature. He humbled himself, by becoming obedient to the point of death even death on a cross!

People who fixate on so-called 'race' are generally unhappy. Look past the colour of the ikon to Who is represented thereon and what the brother is singing about. Not all of the world is as 'race' obsessed as the US. You will see 'white' Orthodox Christians bowing to ikons depicting 'black' saints and vice versa. Righteousness has no colour nor does wickedness. Investigate Oriental Orthodox Christianity. Everyone's bloodline goes back to the same grandparents: Adam & Eve. Peace to you sister.

A lot of psycological damage has been done to the collective black conciousness in America due to centuries of white supremacy. What is displayed here is a reminder of this fact!

My friend, The orthodox church accept not only the bible but the holy tradition which the apostiles and their diciplines had been using. And it is 100% sure that the appostles as well as their disiplines have the same beiefe as today's orthodoxes. The major difference between protestants and orthodoxes is that we orthodoxes believe in sprit, holy tradition and bible. Where as you believe only in material.YOu believe only on ritten thing not of the holysprit who spoke through our apostlic father

pray is only to God, no one else. But while praying we include angels and Mary in them to help us. The point of angels is to send God's messages and they help God, they are in front of Him all day everyday, why not give them the respect? No its not in the bible to pray to them but there are many exaples of people including them to help them and they do. If God provides them to us for us to use them then why not?

We do have to follow Jewish laws if you were Jewish first. As an Ethiopian Orthodox, you do because they were Jews before Christians. Egyptions were Gentiles bofore Christian so they don't have to.

But Spinoda7 and Samyaddis, assuming that yall are Ethiopian, You're supposed to follow these laws

The most important thing is salvation which is a gift of God for all of us, its up to us to accept it or not. Jesus Christ he died for our sins so that we might live. All of us we must repent of our sins and live a christian life. Jesus Christ is the answer for everything.

Do you believe that using Icons is wrong way?
christiangirma 3 years ago
Using icons is not good beacuse you see that some people they worship them. The bible it is the word of God and everything we do it have to be accoding to it. No place in the bible it say use icons.
samyaddis 3 years ago
Icons have been used in bible and they were first created by God Himself. Please refer your bible.

Can you tell me where in the bible it say that icons were created by God or the use of icons.
samyaddis 3 years ago
I dont know way but I have been doing that until my father read the bible and tall me it was wrong. Attending the church in Ethiopia I have never heard any on talked abut how the worship of the Image works. I believe we as orthodox oat to enforce Ethiopian church to teach what exactly the bible say rather than telling as fear history and honestly some times wrong massage (specially during 4:00P.M. sermons).

My brother RATFIT, It is to share you my knowledge about the images and the orthodox church. I grew up in sunday school and tried to understand the teachings of the church in every aspect. The formal chuch teaching doesn't say to worship the images of Jesus or any saint. As you might face the preachers always say worship only God.(Math 4, exo 20) and this is the true teaching of the church. But the chuch uses icons. We use icons for two reasons: first for textual description of the bible /books.

Hi, I love orthodox, perhaps, I will die being orthodox. However, no one had told me when I was back home about what the image is about, rally! I have stop worshiping on the images after I came to U.S. If you remember you go to any church in Ethiopia you will see People touching the image and rube their face.

I am not a Christian, but learned that according to Eastern Orthodoxy (distinct from the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition), reverence shown to an icon accrues to its "prototype" i.e. the portrayed saint or holy figure who is revered, but NOT worshipped (unless it is an icon of Christ.) I do not claim to understand this doctrine in detail, or to know whether or how it applies to Ethiopian Orthodoxy.

@RATFIT Images are earthly windows on heaven. Praying before an icon is not against the bible. The icons are not another God. Veneration of Christian icons represents an earthly type of worship of the One God of Christianity.

Greetings in Christ to you ameteslase,
You are right, the prostrations before the image of our Lord or the Virgin Mother are directed to Heaven and not the image. The Icon is but a window to Heaven.
In Christ, God Bless the Ehtiopian Orthodox Church.

You are right we only have to worship God.
The bible in Revelation 22 verse 8 8 I, John, am the one who heard and saw all these things. And when I heard and saw them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed them to me. 9 But he said, No, dont worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers the prophets, as well as all who obey what is written in this book. Worship only God!

can some one tell me why they are using the roman catholic painting's ??????
LoveBabe16 3 years ago
As far as I can tell, regarding the "graven image", the Catholic Church employs the use of statuary for the most part while the Orthodox Churches incline toward iconography. And in this case, extremely vibrant paintings. Some of these paintings are obviously influenced by European works but the artists were not painting them for use in Catholic worship/mass. Plus, the art that influenced this art is great. Great art influences great art. Just ask the painters.
This is merely my observation.

The icons are venerated, not worshiped. These icons are created to honor the saints and direct worship. This is because we pray to the image not the paint or wood of the icon. The icons are holy images that require discipline, prayer, fasting, and the blessing of the Bishop to paint. As for actual worship, we sing and pray, sometimes facing the icons because it directs our worship the image of God. They are not graven images, but symbols, as an online icon would direct you to another page.

Colossians 3:17 NIV
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
samyaddis 3 years ago
The Bible teaches that whenever the creation wants to correct the Creator, its a sign of ignorance not knowledge. The only way one can conclude that this is the time of knowledge is if one is looking at this from the worldly point of view. From the spiritual point of view, its time of destruction. knowledge acquired about the world and small "facts" are irrelevant to spirituality. may i kindly remind you that Jesus did not choose scholarly geniuses who understood the bible to be his disciples.

Wow, it's amazing that in this time of such great knowledge, some continue to walk in ignorance behind the guise of religion or tradition.Your scripture tells you to make no image to bow down to,or worship,or make no representation of God.And if color does not matter, why is that image you bow to, so white. No persons native to Israel in that time of history was white. It's time for the Orthodox church stop practicing white supremacy and misinformation,in God's name.
Somebody has to say it.
