Something cannot be same day and different calender: It does not make sense.
If I was born during the spring, and a random calender somewhere push my date to August, how does that make sense?
No one really knows the exact day he was born. 25th for example was just accepted by some sect to commemorate the birth of Jesus.

Christmas is 25th December for both the East and the West.

The difference in year and days is as a result of the Gregorian Calendar that was issued in the 16th century.

From Geography, we know that a day, comprising 24hrs is as a result of Earth rotation round the Sun and a year of 365 days is as a result of Earth revolution around the Sun.

Astrologers and Scientists discovered that it takes 23hrs, 56 minutes and 4 seconds for the Earth to rotate round the Sun and 365 days, 5 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds for the Earth to revolve round Sun.

When you add those 5 hours, 59 minutes and 16 seconds produce an extra day once every 4 years, resulting in leap year (366 days) once every 4 years

But those discrepancies were not accounted for in the Julian Calendar that is how it is possible to still celebrate Christmas December 25th but in different year.

Ethiopians calendar may be behind but they're not not economically behind.

If you want to be behind in your home, in your work, in your finances and in your happiness, marry a woman you did not disvirgin.

Fvck any girl you want but when it comes to marriage, find a virgin woman and marry. Only her deserves your love and devotion.
same goes for d makes to remain virgins till marriage. I for one will never fuch a none virgin male casually sef, not to talk of marry. undecided

From the picture above their dressing look more like muslims.
they have one of the oldest Christians in the world and speak something close to the Semitic languages of those days...they speak Amharic which is not far from Aramaic and Hebrew

Satanic verses

Deuteronomy 21:18-21
18 If someone has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and will not listen to them when they discipline him, 19 his father and mother shall take hold of him and bring him to the elders at the gate of his town. 20 They shall say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious. He will not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.” 21 Then all the men of his town are to stone him to death. You must purge the evil from among you. All Israel will hear of it and be afraid.

But Jesus said:
“Don’t misunderstand why I have come. I did not come to abolish the law of Moses or the writings of the prophets. No, I came to accomplish their purpose. Mat 5:17

So how did Jesus fulfil the verse above?
But that is not why "prophet" muhammed hallucinates right? Anyway Genesis 2:17 says "the day you eat of the fruit you shall die", that is Gods judgement, not humans who are also sinners stoning themselves to death. Hypocrisy is not right.

All those dressings are not Islamic's but cultural dressings for people from that region.
How did that dress code get to be their cultural dressing?
They are obviously in church worshipping fully covered like Mary the mother of Jesus…
They way your women dress almost naked to church in Nigeria is that your own cultural dressing?

Adoption of Christianity by white for colonisation purposes led to bible alterations (editions) which result in confusion within the Christian faith

If you don't understand me kindly do your on research, search the julian calender, the coptic calender and the gregorian calender.


these things are not hard to find, please make your own research and crosscheck before you go on the attack.
