Ethiopia has existed for ages. I read elsewhere that the first name of Africa was Ethiopia. It was until the Romans conquered the ethiopians that the name was changed. The name of the emperor that conquered Ethiopia was africanos. According to the the Roman's tradition whoever conquered an empire earned the right to have his conquered empire name after him. So africanos was given the right to have Ethiopia continent named after him. Hence the name of Ethiopia continent was changed from Ethiopia to Africa.

Africa is the original home of all mankind.

Africa and their craziness about religions.
Yet the religions could not propel them to build sensible countries.

Ethiopia is one of the oldest enduring civilizations, and some of their clans are genetically part of the Jewish tribes, or specifically speaking, part of the 12 Tribes of Israel. cool They are the descendants of Kush, son of Ham, son of Noah. The Ethiopians are the CUSHITES.

Christianity came to Africa before It got to Europe.

The Ethiopian Eunuch that philip preached to was the first gentile convert IN the Bible.
And he took It back to Ethiopia.

God told Joseph to take Baby Jesus to Egypt so that Herod will not kill him.

Anybody that said white people brought Christianity to Africa does not know bible history.

It's also strange that Ethiopia IS about to enter a civil war right when they were set to cut Egypt from the Nile.

Some people have attributed it to the curse of the Pharaohs.
The ancient Pharaohs cursed anybody that will divert the river Nile.

But I think the Egyptian government is trying to keep Ethiopia busy so they won't build the dam.

I don't think so if they can get into Sudan and Kenya it won't be difficult to get into Ethiopia.... I think the Ethiopians resisted every attempt by the whites to get into their country,m not sure though

Out of stone: Bete Giyorgis, one of the 11 rock-hewn churches of Lalibela, Ehtiopia during the celebration of the Epiphany - the baptism of Jesus in the Jordan River

Who wrote this

There is no way the Epiphany is the celebration of the baptism of Jesus. The Epiphany actually commemorates the revelation of Jesus to the gentiles-i.e. the three Magi or "wise men" who came to visit him in Bethlehem right after his birth.

I don't think the author of this article is a Christian. This is a major error.

Another abdul of the Pedophile Prophet Muhammad who enjoyed dislocating the hips of a 9year old girl child while claiming it was divine for the bastard to do so.

Christianity is one everywhere. A Christian is one believes in the Godhead.


One important information to be noted by all:

"The 'New Jerusalem' was created after Muslim conquests made travel to the Holy Land dangerous

Satan has always been working through these islamists whether offline jihadi and online jihadi like this clown here to stop the church but they can never succeed as the True God-Jesus Christ that HE changes seasons and times for HIS true worshippers to continue to worship.

There was a season Orthodox was prevalent till now that there are Evangelicals, etcetera

These Islamists and puppets of the greatest false prophet muhammad do nothing but engage in warfare against the true God trying to obelirate the Church, it's history, it's artefacts, it's main model: Jesus while claiming that Jesus was a Muslim. Such clowns grin grin


Blacks were Christians before even the Europeans especially for your clowns that love saying the White man brought religion to Africa.

300 years before the birth of the child of Satan: Muhammad and his plagiarized invented religion. There were already African Ethiopian Churches.

I am of the view. It will be islam from within trying to disintegrate that country and make it lose all her Christian heritage like they did to Syria and other former Christian lands.

I got to know about these buildings in a history book authored by a guy called F.K. Buah(Ghanaian historian).

But I didn't get to see what they really looked like until I watched a documentary that was put together by Ollie Steed on Discovery World several Easters ago.

Very impressive structures for real.

Wonderful that 900 years after its construction, it is still a tourist attraction as well as still serving the purpose it was built for. That’s a plan for the future that has worked out.
With the kind of leaders we have that can budget N380 billion for repented terrorists and N20 billion for our universities in 2021 budget, there can be no future for us! undecided
