“that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Wanna recite this?
Pearly Young, 77, was killed today in

shopping for groceries.
For 25 years she ran a pantry where every Saturday she fed people in Central Park. Every. Saturday.
She loved singing, dancing, & being with family.
She was mother, grandma, & missionary. Gone too soon 🕊
Clout money chaser who has no signs of living a transformative life. Looks at Islam and Orthodoxy (to a lesser extent) as based conservatives instead of genuinely looking for truth & love. Sincerely doubt his conversion to Islam as well.
Cry more you filthy pagan. Processions will never go away. You can be glad with scientific accomplishments while still holding to religion. All these nations that have advanced, the Nordic countries, Russia, etc. all have deep Christian pasts. Their divorce of the Christian
Seeing habesha orthodox make fun of habesha Catholics for not having netela when they play kebero is so funny. Yes, while you were bickering over how to wear netela in church and whether women can have the mic in church, the Latins have evangelized and spread Christianity to
Holy Communion is part of the fulfillment of Christ being the New (and Greater) Moses from Deuteronomy 18:15-19. The Mosaic Covenant was established after the pouring of the blood of the covenant on to the Altar & Israelites, but was officially sealed with the Heavenly Banquet..
I’ve had kids at my church that attended Berkeley high school ask me if King David was homosexual because their teacher told them he was. Apparently they have a Bible class where they treat it purely as “literature” and pick it apart using their own constructions.
There is a popular evangelical delusion that secular university professors hate Christianity and purposely target Christian youth to humiliate them and try to get them to apostasize. Bible colleges and Christian universities have long benefited from this fear-based delusion.

Matthew 16:13-19 buddy.
Christ accepts the claim of him being the Son of God along with divine Fathership & divine Sonship which Islam categorically rejects. Also claims to be the Son of Man who is divine. 2nd Temple Jews also held this belief (Daniel 7, 1 Enoch, 4 Ezra)
The Last Supper is the institution of the Eucharist. Why be offended in something you think never happened? Muslims equally blaspheme the Holy Eucharist, so why be offended at this?
Hulu is working on Queen Of Sheba drama.📺
The one hour long series, inspired by a true story of Africa's well-known queen, highlights her quest to unite and fortify Ethiopia as one of the most economically robust nations in the world.

I hope people know *bragging* about not eating till 3pm and abstaining from all these things… breaks the point of the fast. Don’t be like the hypocrites who brag and show off all the spiritual religious things they do.
Rn a bunch of colonizers are trying to come for me because they don’t want to actually admit that they are racist, colourist colonizers. You will not gaslight me, I have videos of the mad racist I’ve experienced in North Africa, by straight haired, nearly white people.
Holy wine
- cultural orthodox that probably hasnt attended a service since they were in high school & only goes for funerals, only had their wedding in the church for their parents sake and have no concept of what communion is
Don’t partake in the sacraments if you don’t get it
Yes the Bible is enough for preaching truth. Does not mean everyone with a Bible will be able to properly interpret it. In the 5th century very few people had books of the Bible let alone a whole Bible (depending on what the canon is in that area).
@Cazonci98
I know an Ethiopian Orthodox lady joining the Greek Orthodox Church (there’s a Greek church nearby that does almost everything in English). She says her reason is she was away from it too long and can’t understand Geëz. I’ll be visiting that Ethiopian church soon so will see.
Faith has lead to delusion among their population that has caused the fall of the modern man & morality. It is also an inconsistent belief to hold to a materialist worldview and hold to no justification for transcendentals.
“Let us believe then according to the tradition of the apostles that God the Word came down from heaven and entered into the holy Virgin Mary in order that taking flesh from her and assuming also a human— by which I mean a rational— soul, and becoming this all that humans are
Took him to a nearby monastery with me today. I think significant progress has been made, but he still has these weird latches on to Buddhism & trying to make it synthesized with Orthodoxy. Keep praying for him.
Pray for a guy named Erick, 22 year old guy my age who grew up 2 minutes away from me. He visited our parish and I just met him for the first time, a struggling deist looking for meaning in different worldviews & faiths.
The Early Church & Christ never said to only be a pacifist. In the proper circumstances violence can be seen as just & necessary, but these circumstances must be based scripturally.
Said it before I’ll say it again, the obsession that the Orthodox Church in Ethiopia has with hair is truly insane. Was told just how the military has hair rules so does the church… the military isn’t an ark of salvation. That analogy presupposes legalism.
Confession isn’t to be abused in this manner and any competent priest knows this. Most likely didn’t happen. + Penance & Confession (both public, private & in the church) have apostolic witness so cope and seethe trying to claim it’s a corruption.
@ahrazzafar12
Gospels aren’t anonymous lol there are literally ZERO manuscripts that show it as anonymous.
“Completely different language” you mean the apostles & Christ communicated with each other in Aramaic since it’s in their native tongue and the NT was written in Greek cause it was the
Different corners of the world. What have we done? Whenever you see how Christianity has reached different corners of the world make sure you realize that was not the work of you or your church but of other Christians cause of our negligence.
@Cazonci98
Eotc lacks in educating people on the schism properly and proper OO ecclesiology so a family will end up going to an EO parish over an Armenian or Egyptian one in the same city if there is no eotc there.
When it comes to the biblical canon, Christians have always instinctively known through the providential guidance of the Holy Spirit what is and what is not Scripture, yet people would rather believe nonsense like them voting on the canon at Nicea in 325 which is false
The amount of absolute braindead secular Ethiopians trying to justify this in the replies is honestly painful. Anathema to them and the people involved in this video.
Not discriminated in jobs is just a lie. If they find your personal accounts where you say abortion is wrong, gay marriage is wrong, transgenderism is wrong, will they still accept you at the company? No.
Just ran into a priest from one of the churches here doing security at my community college. It hurt to see that. A priest shouldn’t have to work that much outside of the church just to provide for his family.
I personally don't know any man, Muslim or non-Muslim, who has been sandwiched by non-mahram women as much as this, let alone had this many public pictures of it.
But this "imam" -- who some hilariously think is a "scholar" -- has an entire portfolio.
The church I’m at rn currently has dividing veils between the men and women’s side. Should be standard for every church instead of only having men on the left and women on the right.
A) the Patriarch of Alexandria & their synod did not bless them
B) This is not Rome where one Patriarch has supreme authority. The Patriarch of Alexandria cannot step into an area that his not his jurisdiction let alone autocephalous church (Coptic church) *UNLESS* asked to.
@OBUFGG
The fathers of Alexandria blessed him? They all come under that patriarch so just be peaceful about having an Abune for Oromo. Fine. Live and let live!

Real gods, like Zeus, are forms of the good: strength, power, beauty, health, virtue.
Fake gods, like Jesus, are forms of the bad: weakness, powerlessness, humiliation, ugliness, emaciation.
Which gods we worship determines what we manifest. Manifest the good. Manifest Zeus.
Circumcision is not a requirement and the OT is not obsolete, this is such an evangelical protestant mindset. Go back to your catechism class and don’t talk about theology till years after you’ve been baptized 👍🏾
If I was someone who had authority on epiphany feast in Gondar;
1. I would ban a map which includes Eritrea. It is not lawful & I would respect my brother.(1pet.2:17)
2. Ban all secular music for that day. You are just ruining the holiness of the feast. (Mt. 6:24)
The Eternal Habesha Uncle: Watches news back home about Ethiopia & the Church but legit hasn’t been to Church in years. You can’t fix anything here or even if you lived in Ethiopia. Fix your salvation & relationship with Christ.
“Let us not be circumcised like the Jews” from liturgy every Sunday.
+ Pork isn’t eaten for cultural reasons. It’s not considered a sin, but there are some judaizers in the church who try and say it is sinful, but officially the church has never taught this and has written
