@Selamawit Debebe very true!!!
Hello Brothers! greetings from Costa Rica, I'm one of the few eastern orthodox christians in the country. I hope one day we may resolve the calcedonian controversy and be in communion, may the will of the Lord be made.
"The more we learn about the Church, the more we fall in love with it." This is very true. St. Jared (ቅዱስ ያሬድ) of Ethiopia said the following about the Church: "ርኢክዋ፣ አእመርክዋ፣ አፍቀርክዋ" meaning "I saw her, I knew her, I loved her."
Your brother from the Coptic orthodox church, we are happy for the oromia church to be back to the mother tewahdo church. May god bless you
I'm really interested in learning about the Ethiopian church, of late there's been a lot of dissatisfaction about Christianity in the African youth and the black race in general claiming Christianity is the religion of the colonizers and slave masters...I think it's a great time for evangelists and missionaries from the Ethiopian and Egyptian churches to reach out to the black people, so that we can own our Christianity. Hope to visit Ethiopia soon for more insights...

Many "Church Fathers" were from Africa. Do you know that Tertullian who was a North African is the "Father of Latin Christianity" and the "Founder of Western Theology"? The history of christianity specially the ancient christianity is greatly tied with Africa particularly Egypt, Ethiopia and Sudan. 💖

Crazy how you put 2000 years of history so simply like this, thank you! It’s interesting to see looking back how all the schisms have political roots, part of me wants to be able to have one universal church, but I love the diversity of beauty different cultures worldwide have expressed their faith in Christ. Perhaps you could discuss differences in culture/practice between the oriental churches for your next topic?

Very well put.
I was born in France from Senegalese parents. I always wondered about Ethiopia 🇪🇹 . Everything you explain in the video indicates that this particular group of Ethiopian have nothing to do with Roll or the Catholic Church, and I am glad! Now you never said anything about the Gospel. I was born and raised a Muslim in a Catholic nation but then when I read in the United States I heard the true gospel of Jesus Christ and I believe that. I am now a Baptist which comes from Anabaptist which come from the people who were persecuted for 1400 years by the Catholic Church and other groups. The same Gospel message (Free Gift) Jesus taught the apostles and the apostles to all men throughout the world.

I respect the Ethiopian Church more than any other church, but what rational Muslim would convert from Islam to Christianity unless he didn’t understand his religion very well? Islam is the natural progression of all the earlier Prophets’ messages. The Quran sent by God settles the disputes surrounding the nature of Jesus. All existing Christian sects are only the result of human speculation about Jesus’s nature without divine authorization. Interestingly enough, the Ethiopian Church led by Negus As-Huma, accepted Islam during Muhammad’s time. This paved the way to the flourishing of Islam in Ethiopia today.

@@yushaq2434 Dear Muslim Don't try to.manipulate like the west or using taqiya like the Arab Muslims who came to africa to slave blacks. Mr Muhammad the founder of islam and his companions ran away from persecution in Arabia and asked help to the orthodox Christian kingdom to get a safe heaven in the first hijira and the orthodox kingdom gave them a.protection and a place to stay. Mr Muhammad agreed on Ethiopian bible. Ethiopia is the first Christian nation. Islam tried to attack Ethiopia so many times but failed. Sahih Hadith telling us Mr Muhammad bought sold and traded black slaves. Mr Muhammad the founder of islam had 16 privileges given by so called Allah or himself and most of them are sexual preferences. Islam is a cult founded by a mad Arab and a false prophet. Mr Muhammad took a six year old and had intercourse when she was nine year ld girl. That is a rape. May our lord the sinless living holy God open your eyes.

I really want to know more about the original teachings, which bible contains the original verses and I’ve been lead to Ethiopia orthodox tawehedo church home of Emperor Haile Selassie etc. It seems to me the Ethiopian Bible still contains books which were taken out and I’m not sure about my denomination anymore and just want to follow Christ instead of any corrupt teachings God bless you and thanks for your work here I’ve learn a lot 🕊🕯✝️
Saint Cyrill of Alexandria said two natures in the incarnate son - God and human. Both fully. Why does the Tewahedo church teach only "one nature of Christ"?

No he said, from the two came one nature. Hypostatic union, the union of natures. True Christ is fully God and Man but the two natures have been united in to one incarnate nature.

Emperor Constantine did not made Christianity a national religion of the Roman empire. The Edict of Milan simply gave a legal status to Christianity. It was emperor Theodosius I officially made Christianity the official religion of the Roman empire in Thessaloniki 380 AD. Please correct this!
You're doing great work Dawit. Did you study theology?

What about the book of Enoch? Tewahedo tradition is older than other modern Orthodox who reject scripture, calling it apocryphal.

I learned some things from this! I've been studying Church history for a long time. I'm not familiar with those teachings that you say came from the Jesuits. I'm Latin Catholic, and know that the weakness of human communication caused different language and cultural groups to misunderstand one another when defining concepts to each other. I know it's important to get it right, so I wouldn't say it's not important how we express things. I just wonder if those 2 false teachings you refer to fall into a misunderstanding of the concepts being expressed? But I leave it to the Hierarchy to agree on proper expression. May we be one as Christ and the Father are One.

The term "orthodox" as understood today in "orthodox Church" was coined by the pope of Rome Leo III when the german emperor Charlemagne tried to add the "filioque" to the christian symbol. Pope Leo III nailed the symbol written in both greek and latin on the doors of St Peter Church of Rome, adding those words : I Leo did this for the sake and love of the orthodox faith.
