Actually, Jesus movie have been made in Ethiopia (all are black). I am not going to lie but it was kinda hard for me to see it. Even though I knew it was the right thing to do

That was when I came to understand the post card of white Jesus and the movie of white Jesus that av seen frequently have had an effect on me.

The movie made here must spread to others. Especially kids, black kids might think white ppl are the best or on top because they view Jesus white

Of Course Ethiopia is where it all began, that's where Adam & Eve were placed in the beginning, see Genesis 2:13 (KJV).

Ethiopia is teh FIRST country mentioned in the Bible (gen 2:13), Ethiopia is the First country to convert to Christianity after Jesus arose.....Ethiopia is where teh Ark of the Covenant was taken to by the Son of King Solomon and Queen Sheeba and it remains there today....Ethiopia is the land where "Lucie" one of the world's oldest fossils was found.....Ethiopia is what was mentioned in Psalm 87 as the land where "This man (Jesus) was born!"

My brothers, we know in our hearts that the son of God was not a black man. The Bible tells us Pride cometh before a fall. We must put aside our childish things and first humble ourselves to receive His blessings.


King Solomon says the "I am Black", so how can Jesus the Root of David (Father of Solomon) be white? come on man, give yourself a brain! (Sigh)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Orthodox_Tewahedo_Church

Tewahedo (Ge'ez ተዋሕዶ) is a Ge'ez word meaning "being made one". This word refers to the Oriental Orthodox belief in the one perfectly unified Nature of Christ; i.e., a complete union of the Divine and Human Natures into one nature is self-evident in order to accomplish the divine salvation of humankind, as opposed to the "two Natures of Christ" belief commonly held by the Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran and most Protestant Churches. The Oriental Orthodox Churches adhere to a Miaphysitic Christological view followed by Cyril of Alexandria, the leading protagonist in the Christological debates of the 4th and 5th centuries. Miaphysitism holds that in the one person of Jesus Christ, Divinity and Humanity are united in one (μία, mia - "one"wink nature (φύσις - "physis"wink without separation, without confusion, without alteration and without mixing[5] where Christ is consubstantial with God the Father in as much as He is with Mankind. Around 500 bishops within the Patriarchates of Alexandria, Antioch and Jerusalem refused to accept the Dyophysitism (two natures) doctrine decreed by the Council of Chalcedon in 451, an incident that resulted in the first major split in the main body of the Christian Church.[6]

People need to read the "Kebra Negaste" (Glory of Kings) and supplement it with the Book of Kings and Chronicles (of the Kings) in the Bible...It explains how the Churches split when the Romans brought heresay into the Faith...I will send you a link in that regard...see section 93

See again? White people want to hide this so bad! Trust me, if Ethiopia was a country of white ppl, world wouldn't have put us on this position

Many African countries must protect Ethiopia!!!!!! Because Ethiopia have many newses that make black people proud! 800 Bibles were stolen from us. We have been offended in Israel! Israelis have been trying to throw us out of our own monastries.


Ethiopia is not well known yet, we still have many things to show

Yeah. People don't meet by accident, it's all planned by the Most High. We can meet 100 times and not do something together until when GOD says its the right time to do something together...I feel very strongly that we have a Godly mission at this time (You and I) and we need to work together to set our people free. I think I stopped chatting with you when you stated that you did not rate Haile Selassie...Below is Haile Selassie's words on Religion/Spirituality. One Love


“The temple of the most high begins with the body which houses our life, the essence of our existence. Africans are in bondage today because they approach spirituality through religion provided by foreign invaders and conquerors. We must stop confusing religion and spirituality. Religion is a set of rules, regulations and rituals created by humans, which was suppose to help people grow spiritually. Due to human imperfection religion has become corrupt, political, divisive and a tool for power struggle. Spirituality is not theology or ideology. It is simply a way of life, pure and original as was given by the Most High of Creation. Spirituality is a network linking us to the Most High, the universe, and each other…”

Put it this way, there's no leader who will not have a section of the population saying He/she is evil, do you agre?

So once one is clear about that, it becomes easy to investigate each and every report of evil deed allegedly carried out and each has to be judged on its merit. Now, since you said you agree with HIM's words and you are witness to the development he has brought to ET and Africa as a whole, I think it is better to focus on working and enlightening our people with the positive words and get some work done.

Your reply amazes me but I am not inviting you to an argument. I have been researching HIM since November 1996 and I have never heard these type of allegation but I respect your views. Though I will also bear in mind that you did not PERSONALLY witness HIM committing these alleged crimes..so there's only so much credibility that can be attached to your reports if you know what I mean.

But for now, let's just focus and work on what we know to be objectively true about HIM as the Prince of Peace, King of Glory and Lion of Judah (All given to HIM, as stated in the Bible) in Isaiah 41 and 42 and Psalm 2

Interesting!

The funny thing is that the Bible says we should prove all things...It's a pity I cant find this guy to ask him some simple and relevant questions. e.g, So because he was in a wrong business deal with certain "Rasta" people who turned to voodoo to eliminate him it means EVERY AND ALL RASTAS are like that? What kind of reasoning is that?I would like to ask him about the Kebra Negast and ask him which Jesus is he talking about? I would like him to tell me what his idea of a "god" is if he is saying Haile Selassie whom Psalm 87 says is the "god" was born in Ethiopia. Having said that Psalm 82:6 says that we are all gods. So what's he saying that Haile Selassie is not a god? Is he trying to deny Haile Selassie what you, I and all othes have got? (That is we are all gods, as stated in Psalm 82). This guy sounds like a joker to me, he stated that Haile Selassie is dead, but he did not assist those who rate Haile Selassie ..,.He should have assisted us by showing us the grave or tomb where Haile Selassie was buried, common sense dictates that to support one's point, one needs to provide evidence, innit?

There's something called Freedom of speech and freedom of opinion and I am not in the mood to deny this guy his own in that regard after all who has the right to deny another man his right? Tenastallin

I know what you are saying, but because I am a man of truth I always speak the truth and the truth is that he is the greatest man on earth. Christ returned. "Power of the Trinity". He did not run away to England when Italy invaded; it was the world powers who advised him to go and they supported HIM and there photos to support this point, he was not like some terrorist dictator King who ran like a rat to the safest place as soon as war came to his country...lol

He was in Bath in the UK for 4 and half years before returning to ET, I have been to his House in Bath and I have seen his bedroom and held his staff that he held in his hand! All the photos that I took on that day in 1999 mysteriously disappeared when I tried to view them on the camera (very strange indeed!). Mobile phones did not have cameras at the time...
