Lol! Except you don't know it means to 'defy' the Roman empire, otherwise that link should suffice to prove that to you.

You're speaking of a people that suffered persecution from the Roman empire for a prolonged period under different empires, because of their faith which went against the traditions, laws and official religion of the Romans, but didn't give in until the Roman empire embraced their own religion officially.

That's defiance man except you're just seeking for the actual word.

*Evidence that demands a verdict*:

1. *The OT predicted* His incarnation, birth, life & ministry, *arrest, mockings, torture, execution, resurrection & ascension*. They are *many, over 300* of them. However, the *source* of them is *Genesis 3:15* - And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; *it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel*.

2. *Jesus predicted His own death & resurrection*

Mark
10:32 And they were in the way *going up to Jerusalem*; and Jesus went before them: and they were amazed; and as they followed, they were afraid. And he took again the twelve, and *began to tell them what things should happen unto him*,

10:33 Saying, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and _the Son of man_ *shall be delivered* unto the chief priests, and unto the scribes; and *they shall condemn him to death*, and *shall deliver him to the Gentiles*:

10:34 And *they shall mock him*, and shall *scourge him*, and shall *spit upon him*, and shall *kill him*: and *the third day he shall rise again*.

3. *Fulfilments*

a) When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, *he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost* - John 19:30

b) Mark
16:5 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: *Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here*: behold the place where they laid him.

16:7 But go your way, tell his disciples and Peter that *he goeth before you into Galilee: there shall ye see him, as he said unto you*.

c) Mark
16:9 Now *when Jesus was risen* early the first day of the week, *he appeared first to Mary Magdalene*, out of whom he had cast seven devils.

16:12 *After that* he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.

16:14 *Afterward* he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and *upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen*.

d) *The testimony of Apostle Paul*

1 Corinthians
15:3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that *Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures*;

15:4 And that he was *buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures*:

15:5 And that he was *seen* of Cephas, then of the twelve:

15:6 *After that*, he was *seen of above five hundred brethren at once*; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.

15:7 *After that*, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.

15:8 And *last of all he was seen of me also*, as of one born out of due time.

e) *Revelation Declaration by Jesus*

Revelation
1:12 And *I turned to see the voice that spake with me*. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;

1:13 And *in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man*, *clothed* with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a *golden girdle*.

1:14 His *head and his hairs* were white like wool, as white as snow; and his *eyes* were as a flame of fire;

1:15 And his *feet* like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his *voice* as the sound of many waters.

1:16 And he had in his right *hand* seven stars: and out of his *mouth* went a sharp twoedged sword: and his *countenance* was as the sun shineth in his strength.

1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, *Fear not; I am the first and the last*:

1:18 I am *he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore*, Amen; and *have the keys of hell and of death*.

4. *The Call! The Invitation*

Jesus said unto her, *I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live*: - John 11:25

5. Finally, *have you received Jesus into your life? If you have not, please do so today! He loves you! I do too!*

This information is the public domain so it's strange how you are not aware of it despite claiming to know much about the early Christians and church.

jesusjnr2020:
Oh I see you're the only one that doesn't know this. Google is there to help you man if you sincerely want to learn the truth.

jesusjnr2020:
You obviously don't want to believe the obvious truth for obvious reasons. Go and enquire about how the early Christians defied the Roman empire from historians.

jesusjnr2020:
Yeah... After trying everything they possibly could to destroy the church to no avail.

They had to accept the fact that the church was here to stay and there was nothing they could do to prevail against it, so that was just a way of admitting defeat in their plans to destroy the church.

By the way, the church was already spreading far and wide with or without their help, so they only joined the winning team since they couldn't beat them.

The Light and Sound of God are the twin aspect of the ECK also known as the Holy Spirit.

Come bask in it and be uplifted, purified, and blessed.

DeepSight:
It's just the first step in addressing those who say that the universe needs no cause.

However, by way of deductive logic, the implications are:

1. The cause could not be matter or energy of the universe itself as nothing caused could be its own cause

2. The cause would be powerful, given the scale of universal energy and matter

3. The cause would pre exist the universe.

These simple baby steps in clear reasoning will disclose a transcendent, non material, powerful cause: key ingredients of the definition of God.

You are Pagan and all pagans are sodomites. This whole post was intended to condemn Sodomy, so your insults and rudeness proves you are just upset at the post. I offer no apology and wish you repent.

Our original African culture didn't see anything wrong in exposing our bodies. Am currently in my village and I have seen many breast of all ages either at stream or when you visit a non Muslim or christian home. And there are men of all ages around. No one cares.

So, you are becoming bothered unnecessarily op. Allow the ladies be themselves and dey your lane. Unless you want to get involve with them

You are a polytheist looking for a way to make your religion have root in truth. There is only one Creator recognized by even polytheists.

El means Lord that's a common title for many gods in that region. Abraham travelled from Chaldea to Egypt then to the Promised land, Hebrews had to adopt to the native tongues of the region. Just like my ancestors the Franks spoke German yet crossed into Gaul they had to learn Gaul and Latin, by doing so the French language was born. You are overplayimg your hand. You can't bluff me. Why don't you read the Bible you would see Yahwe is the only God worshipped.

You are defending Paganism by trying to make our ancestors pagans thus make us look like frauds. We are not Africans nor or we Canaanites, Cushites or Hamites.

Did Ethiopia take part in the Crusades?



They never forged any alliances with the Crusaders, however, and it is a measure of how much of a threat they constituted to the Muslims that Saladin, after retaking Jerusalem in 1187, expressly invited Ethiopian monks to return to the city and even exempted their pilgrims to the tax usually levied on visiting Christians.


Hugues de Payens or Payns (9 February 1070 – 24 May 1136) was the co-founder and first Grand Master of the Knights Templar. In association with Bernard of Clairvaux, he created the Latin Rule, the code of behavior for the Order.

A brown skin man head of knights templar my ancestor who fought for Christians who were being slaughtered by Saracens on the road to Jerusalem.



Give us back our religion if you are in here defending Paganism.

During the Crusader era Ethiopia was under the Zagwe Dynasty (about 960 to 1270), which was mostly involved in domestic affairs. The Zagwes did maintain contact with the Christians beyond their borders via Cairo’s Coptic population and Jerusalem, where they maintained a few chapels and an annex. They never forged any alliances with the Crusaders, however, and it is a measure of how much of a threat they constituted to the Muslims that Saladin, after retaking Jerusalem in 1187, expressly invited Ethiopian monks to return to the city and even exempted their pilgrims to the tax usually levied on visiting Christians.

Just admit you have a polytheistic mindset so what we both can read of this will differ. There is only one Creator who has many attributes. Just like the 99 names of Allah there are even more names not widely known. The same is with Eloah who also uses Elohim to refer to His many attributes.

The trinity is from Sumerian/Shem it's not complicated to explain. Yet I will make a post on it in the future.

What is the meaning of blood line?
: a sequence of direct ancestors especially in a pedigree. also : family, strain


My ancestry has always been monotheists we have never ever been pagans. The Franks were pagans though when my Merovingian ancestors ruled over them. It took a few generations before they accepted our Christian faith and abandoned paganism. My family has always believed in religious freedom.
