easymancfc: Tampinu.. that picture is inaccurate.. You need to learn your history.. The catholic church was founded by Christ in 33 AD.. in The Great schism of 1054 it was the orthodox church that broke out.. you are twisting history....
The church was originally one both catholic and Orthodox before the east west split in 1054., so both go back to Christ. It was the east (Orthodox ) that split from the west.. So going by your thought. I would say that the patriach of Constantinople and the other eastern fathers founded the Orthodox Church..
Thank you for your comment; I thought we had an understanding to stay far from each other' posts as far as East is from West? I'm just not agreeable to your tone and method of communication, please let's respect the decision to eschew each other's posts.
Deal?
Many thanks
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Orthodox_Tewahedo_Church The Oriental Orthodox Churches, which today include the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria, the Armenian Orthodox Church, the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Malankara Orthodox Church of India, the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, and the Eritrean Orthodox Tewahedo Church, are referred to as "Non-Chalcedonian", and, sometimes incorrectly by outsiders as "monophysite". Monophysitism is a theology adopted by a 5th-century presbyter and archimandrite in Constantinople known as Eutyches and claims that Christ has "One Single Nature" where His Divinity absorbed His Humanity resulting in a "Simple" mathematical "One" Nature to which the Oriental Orthodox Churches object. According to these, both natures in Christ are perfectly preserved after the union in "mia physis" - One Nature; yet, not resulting in a distinct third Nature.
"For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book" (Revelation 22:18-19).
The vatican canon has 73 books not 66. There is a curse to those adding or subtracting from the Word of God. Don't bring yourself under the curse of God.
66 books is a lot of books, so we delight that they bothered to read them. Imagine if they had read only one book! Understanding however, is of a different magnitude and essence.
If he were to reason, he would wonder what would happen to those who added the new testament to the old. If they are cursed for adding the extra books, no one would have heard of Christ, then where would we be?
The Pharisees and Sadduces argued the same point, which books are to be read. In one text, Christ said something about marriage. The second escapes me at the moment, but I wonder if it does not involve Caesar. Will check the text duly.
In the meanwillie it would behold thee to meditate on "[Hu]mans shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God". And contend it with the 66 Books version in [url=https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=John+21%3A25&version=KJV]John 21:25[/url] of the following, "If all the trees on earth were pens, and the ocean were ink, replenished by seven more oceans, the writing of Allah's Words (His wonderful signs and creations) would not be exhausted; surely Allah is Mighty Wise."
I have lived in Europe for 21yrs and, I swear, I've never even met a European who dispute Ethiopian Supremacy in Christianity, Walahi. If anything, they keep quiet. A.k.a, No comment.
Here you have an African man lying against his own heritage and destiny .... I wonder what he has to say about the Kebra Negast and with specific reference to Section 93 that talks about how the men of Rome destroyed the faith. I asked severally but he keeps evading the question...
This is the kind of guys Fela was singing about; they have no love, pride or respect for anything African.
He is here telling me that despite the fact that Ethiopia is the first country mentioned in the Bible on the very 1st page of the Bible, and some Europeans managed to set 66 books as canon, whilst ancient Ethiopia has 81 books.
He is arguing that the Ethiopians will be cursed for adding more books than the 66 books selected and approved by the Europeans. (Sigh).
What kind of reasoning is this? What are you defending? Why not just keep silent if unsure?
Only God is allowed to add to His Words and He concluded it in the book of Revelation which ended the canon. Anything outside the completed 66 books of the Bible is to be met with a curse. So credit goes only to God for compiling the Bible, the RCC are trying to rob God of His glory which is to their own peril.
So Ethiopian 81 books are not approved by God, abi? So only the 66 books approved by Oyinbo are allowed, because they are selected by Oyinbo? Even though Ethiopia was first country mentioned in the Bible? Huh?
“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…”
You have the right to believe in what you think is the right. For me it's a myth, but for you it's a fact. I guess what matters is your thought in this kind of things.
You also have the right to choose not to see what you don't want to see, though someone else may have the responsibility to try and show you...
People say it here in Ethiopia what you posted above. They say Ethiopia is the new Israel and God chosen country. But they need to understand that everything about it is a myth.
The ancient Elders who wrote Kebra Negaste stated that Ethiopia is Zion, you stated that their statement is a myth...hmmm?
Who do you think I will follow? You or the ancient Elders? Huh?
AfroKalinago: Rastafari is really a Hindu Christian hybrid concoction. There is lots of information on these facts on the internet. I agree with adamant Rastafari is total garbage, and its removal from the black world is fast approaching. ( thieves,Molester,murderers,drug dealers ) is spot on, along with preaching a philosophy of self hate by advising black people to Not comb their hair, and they worship Haily Selassie as a black god/man when in fact he is a Yemeni/Ethiopian and looks very very Arab= NOT A BLACK MAN
Rastafari is very dangerous for young trusting black minds and should be taken seriously as it is used to hypnotize, confuse and superimpose a twisted foreign culture onto unsuspecting black people all over the globe
highyo: I want to give thanks and praise to the almighty King of Kings and Lord of Lords, Jesus Christ. (Rom 8:35-39). I want to thank him for delivering me from evil spirits, spiritual husbands and the marine kingdom. Without my knowledge, I was initiated into worshipping the marine kingdom, when I started my worship in celestial church of christ. I have noticed that since then things where going from good to bad, and that everyone in my family was been seen to be my enemy ( according to prophetic revelations in the church). It came to the point that I stopped talking to everyone and stayed away from my family and friends, in the hope of delivering myself from any evil eye. I developed a spirit in the church, which allowed my to be in 'spirit' and prophesy..but I was told to hold a feast at the church,by a prophetess in spirit, to satisfy the spirits that are following me-by (Obanje- apparently it was a good obanje spirit) and this is when I unknowingly got initiated to worship marine kingdoms. The sheperd also revealed to me that an evil spirit was blocking my ways.. And asked 3 elders to take me to the sea..where I had to take my bath and leave items(bowl, swords etc..and a white yard cloth) at the sea coast. It is now, that I realise that by doing this, I entered a covenant with a marine spirit husband, which made it very difficult for me to stay in a serious relationship talk less of get married. I also started having dreams, in which I had full intercourse with men and women and would be ashamed to tell anyone about it.... To cut the long story short... A couple of weeks ago I embarked on a journey to nigeria, to visit my family after almost 19 years and to bury my father and as I was passing by, a pentecostal church I decided to attend one of their services ( believing in my mind that God is one!), the service was quite good, but all of a sudden the pastor asked me to come to the pulpit so that he could pray for me. He held my hands and we started praying.... After 10 minutes, I started feeling hot and faint...and a male voice started coming out of me telling the pastor to stop praying, because this body belonged to me( I was later on told that my spirit husband was the one talking to the pastor). The spirit husband was very violent during the whole deliverance service and threatened the pastor that he was going to kill him and his family. The spirit husband also bribed the pastor and told him that he will give him money or even my body (to make love) if the pastor stopped with the deliverance, but the pastor rebuked him and used anointing oil and ' the blood of Jesus' to cast him out of me. In spirit I was also pregnant with children and that deliverance service forced me to have a spiritual miscarriage.... The whole deliverance took 3-4 days.. Since many unclean spirits where deposited in me. The pastor did not know me from Adam, but God told him that I was a member of the marine kingdom and that I was initiated by the so called ' celestial church of Christ'. I deeply apologise for my bad english.All I want to tell u people is that, there is darkness in white garment churches and that if u are a member and do not know about the evil in that church, that u should leave the church before it is too late. I thank God for delivering me! I am happy that I am finally seeing a thread on this NL with the truth written about white garment churches. I am not suprised that people (White garment members) ignore ur thread.. The same way they ignored mine. But God will one day open their eyes. I just pray that it will not be too late for them

2 Who raised up the righteous man from the east, called him to his foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? he gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow.
3 He pursued them, and passed safely; even by the way that he had not gone with his feet.
4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.
5 The isles saw it, and feared; the ends of the earth were afraid, drew near, and came.

Hati13: To be specific, it's believed to be located in the building known in English language as the Chapel of the Tablet. This building is located in Axum town, Tigray region (northern Ethiopia).
Adjacent to this building are the old Cathedral of Our Lady Mary of Zion and the new Cathedral of Our Lady Mary of Zion.
The old Cathedral of Our Lady Mary of Zion is the holiest Christian site in Ethiopia. The Lalibela churches are the 2nd.
Well am not rasta, and am very certain and sure of my roots
Rasta is not anywhere near my origins.
You guys are unique in your own creativity and ideologies. God created you guys in a different way.
But Nah, am not Rasta. Don't get it twisted.
Just wondering...Are you Christian? Hmmm....
So if I tell you ALL the prophets in the Bible wore dreadlocks, and the Bible expressly stated that Samson had Seven Dreadlocks! Jesus was not clean shaven either, and the reason Jesus had to be kissed by Judas was because ALL 12 disciples wore dreads and they all looked alike!
Sorry if I broke your heart, are you gonna stop going to church and talking to Christians now?
Well you are right, Rastas are created differently according to Psalm 4 "The Lord has set apart he that is GODLY to Himself!"
Then the ones with dada? Is another big turn off. My spirit just do not agree with their kind if lifestyles and personality. And seriously I can't question my spirit about it.
I prefer to marry an enlightened Nigerian or African or Mexican or Colombian.
But seriously Mexicans and Colombians are hot!
Also Nigerian men, the good-looking enlightened ones are delicious as well
*coughs*
I hope you are not a Rastafarian?
I see, I can't blame you for liking good and cute things or people, but some things last for a time and some things last for ever...I prefer to focus on eternal life which only the King of Kings can give...Only He who rose the dead to life can give eternal life to the living.
We are all Rasta, the fact that you do not know that you are something does NOT mean that you are not that thing...
