I am an copt orthodox, we love our ethiopian and eritrean orthodox and all the oriental churches
The Ethiopian "Orthodox" are not Orthodox at all. They fell away from the Church (Orthodox - true faith, teaching, spirituality and life) as well as other Monophysites even (somewhat) before the Roman Cathedra (Roman Catholics) They are not part of the Orthodox Church! That they do not profess Monophysite Christology is, I think, a dubious claim to say the least, even if someone claims it, and then the question is when and how did they stop professing it. Priest George (Georgie) Maksimov said that, I guess, some religious dignitary from Ethiopia or even maybe their council in the document that was published, whether in English or another western language, I'm not sure, expressed wording similar to Orthodox, or said something similar, and in the text in Amharic, I guess, the terminology that is Monophysite. The so-called "Oriental Orthodox" or "Miaphysites" are not part of the true Church of Christ - the (Eastern) Orthodox Church.

It took me over a year because I wanted to understand the mysteries of the church.
The services are in Geez, but, twice a month, I go to kidasse( liturgy) in English.
They are on TH-cam as SPOT ( St. Paul Orthodox).

@@pravoslavlje_je_vera_istinita I am not completely sure what is Monophysites mean. I tried to define it and this is what I found "A christological teaching that the person of Christ consisted of a single divine nature or a united divine and human nature in which the human was absorbed by the divine. The full humanity of Christ was not upheld." According to my knowledge the name Orthodoxy has nothing to do with Monophysites. The name is given to Christians after the Council of Nicaea, which was called to resolve the controversy of Arianism, a doctrine that held that Christ was not divine but was a created being. The council argued Arianism based the church's holy bible and proved that Christ is God, Son of God, among the Holy Trinity. Christians who accept the Nicene Creed, who believe Jesus Christ is God are called Orthodox. According to our church teaching, Orthodoxy is believing that.
About Monophysite, we believe Jesus Christ is Devin and Man but he is one. That may sound we believe in Monophysite but we don't because it says "... which the human was absorbed by the divine. The full humanity of Christ was not upheld." We don't believe in that.
We agree Jesus Christ is one entity after Holy Incarnation, we do not say two. But is both human and Devin. Let's take a simple but not perfect example to show my argument. A man has both soul and flesh (body). Even if he has both flesh and soul we don't refer that man as two entity. He is one. He has one name, one thought one life ... likewise we understand Jesus Christ's Holy Incarnation is like the unity of soul and flesh. hence the name "Tewahido" stands for no separation between 1) The divine person of Jesus Christ and (2) The human nature of Jesus Christ after God became man in the womb of our Lady Saint Verging Marry.
I hope that give you some context about Ethiopian Orthodox Tewhido church.

Very interesting topic, I have been interested in the Ethiopian Church for a long time. I wonder why Western forms of Christianity are so popular among Black People? Considering that Ethiopia is one of the oldest Christian Nations.
With the right evangelism they can make converts
the ethio orthodox church is seen by many in the country as the religious arm of the imperial state. so when the ethio empire expanded at the turn of the century this resulted in a lot of forced conversions to orthodox christianity & cultural assimilation. Many people in the south who were part of formerly independent kingdoms therefore chose to convert to western forms of christianity (or Islam) as a kind of protest against what they saw as imperial hegemony. So the reasons for the growth are mostly wrapped up in politics, the history of the church and a desire to resist cultural homogeneity
For American black people, one sad word; slavery. Evangelical Protestantism was forced on these people hundreds of years ago. It’s all many folks know. It would be cool if there was a black ancient church consciousness movement. Many would be returning to their roots without even knowing it. I’m not black so I suppose it is just not my place to speak on such matters.
@@divinespark236 I am Black, and you are correct. We don't really know about it. I'm also a catechumen in Eastern Orthodoxy. I didn't know much, really anything, about Orthodoxy until a few months ago. But you're right on point. There is a movement of looking back to ancient African Christianity (Coptic, Ethiopian, Nubian) among many Black evangelicals as a reactions against the white supremacy in American evangelicalism. I'm hopeful that this will result in many more conversions to Orthodoxy.
As a quick side note: Ethiopia, as an uncolonized ancient African Christian civilization, has always played an important role for Africans Christians and for us in the Diaspora, even Black Protestants.
Don't worry the world religions will units into Ethiopian orthodoxy at the end and it's not too far🙂

Its interesting that Ethiopians have these 9 Assyrian saints that spread monasticism and Christianity in Ethiopia because in Georgia we have a very similar history with 13 Assyrian fathers that spread monasticism and astecism here. This was in the 6th century
Georgian Orthodox Church accepts Chalcedon and logically these saints would be Chalcedonian as well so its interesting how exactly it happened in Ethiopia
This is not the case, even Chalcedonian scholarship accepts that the 13 Assyrian fathers were anti-Chalcedonian (they had to be since it was the Chalcedonians who were at the time persecuting other Christologies). But, Georgia sainted them before they became Chalcedonian in the time of Kyrion. It's just like how Georgians historically have venerated St Peter the Iberian, even though Sophronius of Jerusalem anathematizes him in his Encyclical Letter accepted at 3 Constantinople.

Great video and interview with Dean Arnold. I would like to add that when Frumentius and Adesius came to Ethiopia Ella Alada was King and not the father of Ezana who was Senfa Ared II. When Frumentius returned from Egypt after being consecrated as the fist Bishop of Ethiopia by Athanasius, brothers Abreha and Asbeha were in power. After converting to Christianity there names became Ezana and Shai azana. Adesius returned Tyre where he became presbtyr. It was from here that Adesius told Rufinus Tyranius the account of what had taken place in Ethiopia.
This was a fascinating conversation.

Thank you for sharing our Orthodox Christianity and ancient history with the world. By the way, I am a deacon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and I have enough knowledge about our church as well as the history of our country.

I think some people might be confused: he’s Eastern Orthodox (the actual Orthodox) in Ethiopia. He’s not part of the anti ChalcedonIan Ethiopian Church.
You should invite ‘Henok Elias’ who is a deacon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and has a similar channel called the “philosophy of arts and science.” I feel like the guest in this video missed out on a lot of the rich history. Please reach out to Henok he’s very knowledgeable on these topics and i would love to see a part 2 on this. Love these vids!

I have his number
I appreciate Deen w. amold to come to Ethiopia, to stedy and to understand about Ethiopian Orthodox theology, but I think he missed,that he must have to talk the higher scholars ,high priests,and he must have to make contact to the senodos (diocies ) members. And more if he talks to mahebere kidusan offices with, the sabbath school cnoseltance. That why he simes little confused about orthodox doctrines.

@@pravoslavlje_je_vera_istinita To claim that Ethiopian Orthodox Christians are not Orthodox and have fallen away from the true faith, teaching, spirituality, and life of the One, Holy, Congregational, and Apostolic Church, and that they are not part of the Orthodox Church, is a perspective rooted in theological differences and not factual evidence.
The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church is one of the ancient Oriental Orthodox Churches and holds distinctive theological positions, including a Christological perspective that is often characterized as Miaphysite.
The term "Miaphysite" refers to the belief in a single, unified nature of Christ, combining both divine and human aspects, and it is associated with the Council of Chalcedon in 451 AD. The Ethiopian Orthodox Church, along with other Oriental Orthodox Churches, did not accept the Chalcedonian definition and thus diverged from the Byzantine or Eastern Orthodox tradition.
However, it's crucial to recognize that the issue of Christology has been a subject of ongoing dialogue and exploration between various Christian traditions, and differences in theological language and interpretation do not necessarily negate the sincerity or orthodoxy of a particular Christian group.
Moreover, discussions between Eastern Orthodox and Oriental Orthodox Churches, including the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church, have taken place in recent decades, aiming at finding common ground and resolving historical theological disagreements. Efforts toward mutual understanding and reconciliation demonstrate a shared commitment to dialogue and unity within the broader Christian community.
As long as Ertrean 🇪🇷 orthodox quite not speaking Ethiopians stoling the history. I wish one day the Eritrean monastry open for research and study.
We should also remember that later in life, Moses married an Ethiopian woman. That occurred well before Solomon and Seba's union.
That’s true. Moses was criticized for marrying Ethiopian
King Solomon as well

It’s true in Oromia region there has been a genocide that’s so gruesome has been going on against Amharas orthodox christians. Ine of the leading figure is a Muslim Oromo’s guy that lives in Minesota that has been going back and forth recently residing in Kenya getting help from Middle East. He use to be on Al Jazeera a lot Kuwait is one of the countries that help Muslims i. Ethiopia to dominate the region.
A “reverse missions trip” AKA a pilgrimage.
My grandfather spent a lot of time in the church and he would say Jesus and Mary crossed through, what was then called, Axum.
Ethiopians hold a significant position in Christianity, second only to Israel, as they were among the earliest to embrace the New Testament. Even during the Old Testament era, Ethiopians worshipped God and safeguarded the hidden location of the Ark of the Covenant. Despite these historical facts, many individuals refute this truth, often due to preconceived notions about Africans and their contributions.
Anyone familiar with the Bible would recognize that Ethiopians are mentioned more than 40 times throughout its pages. Surprisingly, the Catholic Church and Freemasons possess a deeper understanding of this reality than anyone else globally. Unfortunately, they choose to suppress this knowledge and instead distort the ancient heritage of Ethiopians, falsely attributing it to Britain.
Since the 16th century, these institutions have perpetrated the theft of thousands of ancient Ethiopian books in their attempt to convert Ethiopians to Catholicism through the Jesuit movement. Disturbingly, over 8,000 Ethiopian Orthodox monks and parishioners have been martyred as a result.
Even today, the Freemasons and the covert forces of the Western world persist in their efforts to erode Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity and dismantle its cultural significance. They do so by supporting ethnic politicians who propagate a distorted and fabricated history, authored by Europeans. Regrettably, much of Ethiopian history, like that of the rest of Africa, has been tainted by biased European narratives that portray Europeans as great and Africans, including Ethiopians, as nomadic and uncivilized people.
We find ourselves living, thinking, and even dying in a world still influenced by the legacy of colonizers.

Why do you lie ?
I think it is better to leave the politics to the locals. I mostly enjoyed the conversation you had except for the current conflict and also the political background related to it. I hope you can either leave the politics or give it a better perspective!
The drums has a meaning and the sticks is the cross of Jesus and the thing they put on their head are meaning and the dance also all its related with Jesus when he suffer from the start until the end the dance is when he walks caring the cross they cared those sticks to and also other thing Even the drum the ropes that are tide like cris cross that represent the injury that Jesus had when he beaten it all has a meaning

John Malala, whom we cited in a previous note, gives an account of an embassy sent by Justinian to the Emperor of the Axômites, whom he calls Elesbóas: thus fortunately, says Salt in his work descriptive of his Voyage to Abyssinia (p. 468), identifying Anda, Ameda and Elesbóas, as titles of the same sovereign. This author points out that what gave occasion to the expedition of Elesbóas was the murder of St. Aretas by the Homerites. He fixes the death of Aretas in the year 522, which was the fifth year of the Emperor Justinus; the visit of Cosmas to Adulê to about 525, and the expedition against the Homerites to about 530. Montfaucon has here the following note: "In the Vatican copy in the first hand the reading is . This Elesbaan, King of the Axômites, in that expedition which Cosmas mentions, destroyed the kingdom of the Homerites, having defeated Dunaanus, a king of the Jewish religion, who inflicted horrible tortures on the Christians. This Elesbaan was known by another name, Caleb, and was celebrated alike by Greeks and Arabians and Ethiopians, and was enrolled in the number of the saints. He is mentioned by Nonnosus in by Metaphrastus, by Callistus, and by Abulpharagitis. All this you will find recorded at great length in Job Ludolph, a most accurate expounder and investigator of Ethiopian affairs." (Cosmas Indicopleustes, Christian Topography (1897) pp. 23-90. Book 2 (tertullian.org))
Justinian treated them as a Christian Kingdom, if Ethiopia was still sent its Bishops from Alexandria, they would have been Melkites (i.e. Chalcedonians) IMHO.
This is pure EO historical revisionism. The Roman Catholics admit that St Kaleb was Non-Chalcedonian, specifically the Bishop Afonso Mendes, (the state religion was Roman Catholicism for a very brief moment) admits that Kaleb had retired to the monastery of Abba Pantelewon & also went there for their blessings before his campaigns against the Himyarites. St Kaleb supposedly sending his crown to Jerusalem was merely an act of Christian unity. Emperor Yeshaq I nearly married off his daughter to Peter of Aragon, Count of Alburquerque for “Christian unity” despite both parties not being in communion with one another. The act of sending his crown to Jerusalem does not at all indicate he was Chalcedonian. St Yared who helped with the coronation of King Kaleb had visited the individual churches/monasteries of the 9 saints and even aided them in building it with the assistance of Kaleb’s predecessors. Roman Catholics also acknowledge that St Aretas & the Himyarites both martyred & post-conquest/Axumite colonization were Non-Chalcedonian. There is simply just a mountain of evidence pointing directly towards Ethiopia & Eritrea being Non-Chalcedonian at the time along with other Chalcedonian groups (Roman Catholics) acknowledging this.
@@kaleabbdagne6641 this is certainly possible because we have in egypt chalcedonian bishops working with non (or former) chalcedonians. However, to posit a chalcedonian patriarch never sent a chalcedonian bishop to ethiopia when we have no source to the contrary does not make sense to me, anyway.
@@OrthodoxChristianTheology Theres no evidence of a Chalcedonian presence in Ethiopia outside of some Greek merchants in the Medieval ages & the Jesuits.... Ethiopia and Eritrea in antiquity were certainly not Chalcedonian. Like I said RC’s admit this in their Martyrdom books & we have documentation of the nine saints. Nothing of a Chalcedonian presence there.
@@kaleabbdagne6641 are you EOC
I'm grateful to the LORD that we have trinitarian bretheren who are defending TRI-UNE GOD. I have no doubt about TRI-UNE GOD of roman catholic, orthodox, protestant (all denominations under protestant exxept onenees) and coptic beleived in the same TRI-UNE GOD. I hope amd pray roman catholic, protestant, orthodox and coptic should unite and set aside trivial diffrence because we (trinitarian christians) must not put foothold for anti-trinitarian i.e. islam, unitarianism, judaism, watchtower, mormonism, cgurch of Christ.
PRAISE THE LORD
You are right We should work on unity. But still 👆Our differences are not trivial .
King Solomon has two children from Ethiopian Queen saba Minilik the First & zaguye from her servant. Their family were lead the country until king Hile silase.
So she was an easy lay
Actually that is a legend .There is no actual evidence to support that. This whole Kebre Nagast story brought into it to prove tribal politics to assert control over the people.
You really did a great job. By the way, Menorah is everywhere. We have it in my house but didn't know it has any relation to Judaism till I move to US. Everything you answered is what I heard as an Ethiopian. I like Dean a lot but I advice you in the future not to comment about politics. For instance, do you know majority TPLF leaders communists? They don't believe in God. Do you know Ethiopian soldiers took suicide rather than killing Tigrean mom and dad who attacks Ethiopian soldiers?
I recommend you also to check Dr Ephraim Issac book about Ethiopian Orthodox Christianity too.
If you want to learn a lot, you should check the monasteries out. There’s a lot of them
Any recommendations of specific places?

What I don't understand is referring to multiple ethnic or linguistic groups "tribes" - are those really tribes or simply linguistic/ethnical groups like in modern world?
The french and german is tribes too
Rome tried to hide books of Enoch
Monasticism is a way of living that's religious, isolated from other people, and self-disciplined. In many religions, monks and nuns practice monasticism. Do you live as though you're a monk in a monastery? Then you can describe your lifestyle as monasticism.
The problem is , the current Ethiopian PM is a Pentecostal. So he is killing the strong Orthodox base which is the North of Ethiopia and Eritrea. Their trying to install Pentecostal in the North which is the strong Orthodox Base,the Tgray, Amhara and Eritrea.
Adam is Ethiopian ❤
I listen to your interview. Do you have any idea about the current situation regarding the orthodox religion in Ethiopia?
The Ethiopian "Orthodox" are not Orthodox at all. They fell away from the Church (Orthodox - true faith, teaching, spirituality and life) as well as other Monophysites even (somewhat) before the Roman Cathedra (Roman Catholics) They are not part of the Orthodox Church! That they do not profess Monophysite Christology is, I think, a dubious claim to say the least, even if someone claims it, and then the question is when and how did they stop professing it. Priest George (Georgie) Maksimov said that, I guess, some religious dignitary from Ethiopia or even maybe their council in the document that was published, whether in English or another western language, I'm not sure, expressed wording similar to Orthodox, or said something similar, and in the text in Amharic, I guess, the terminology that is Monophysite. The so-called "Oriental Orthodox" or "Miaphysites" are not part of the true Church of Christ - the (Eastern) Orthodox Church.
I might have made a mistake because I'm using a translator because I don't know English very well. Excuse me if I am especially using important terms, which can be checked elsewhere.
@@pravoslavlje_je_vera_istinitawhat are you talking about😂😂
You should invite Dr. Zebene who is very knowledgeable in this matter. Don’t forget Moses’s wife was Ethiopian.
Eritrea is not majority muslim
the ecclesiastic center of Ethiopian Orthodoxly is Gonder not Axum.
and one more thing the Felasha and the rest of the Judaic inflows is in Gonder not Axum . Axum is the set of the Ark
Historically, the Ethiopian orthodox empire was centered around Axum- hence the term “Axumite empire”
And also the left hand of Christ cross is also there in short
It’s the right i think
ow here is wrong information about eritreans most of us is orthodox christians.
Great content, Thanks.
Thouroughly enjoyed this interview but Why does something ethiopian always have to be influenced from outside. Like the food you guys conclude if it can't be from India it has to be from yemen? Maybe yemen is influenced by ethiopia? For matter of fact parts of yemen and Saudi were under axumite rule. I see this a lot where outsiders usually assume something always come from outside.
🥴you have no idea to assume we are influenced by Yemen. We don’t have cultural inheritance with Arab world.. decolonise your mind my friend
@@Black-lioness you didn't understand what I wrote read it again. We are making the same point
Well it's because it came from those places
Because outsiders don’t think Ethiopians are capable of doing those things. It a subliminal racism
It's the insidiousness of white supremacist thinking.
Any good trumpet players in Ethiopia?
Hey you guys are missing information
We have the arc you can't evangelic Ethiopians your guys need to learn
When you talk about Ethiopia in ancient times you can include Sudan to. Infact most of Africa was called Ethiopia. Ethiopia is an Greek name for dark skinned African people.
Ethiopian are not Jewish they’re the Real Jews through lineage from the beginning of time
Elaborate please
the person who is giving the interview you have a lots more to learn . you know enough about the subject but not enough to say i am wrong. not disrespect at all i am just saying you need more knowledge that is all.
Thank you 🙏🏼 for recognizing it. Ethiopia still fighting from surrounding Muslim countries pressure. There’s a lots of manipulation either through the government or I’ve Middle East. Leaders still manipulating to split and incite violence to have Muslim m dominance mind you Ethiopians gave shelter to Muslims today they’re trying to burn churches and murder christians.
It’s very disappointing. At one time Indian Ocean use to be called ethiopia ocean. Ruled all the way to Egypt and India.
The population increase he’s talking abt is heavily muslim, same in Nigeria. It’s not necessarily children born to Christian families but actually muslims. Unfortunately.

Craig, the book of Henok that is found in Ethiopia which you said is similar with the one in Greek is only Volume 1. Volume 2 and 3 are only found in Ethiopia, it is never translated to Greek like volume 1 did.
Ethiopia is the morher humanity that will soon bring the truth to the surface. And all human will know God and be human again!
Thank you for sharing, very interesting. I love you it ❤
Ethiopia will stretch forth her hands unto God. We must know our history and the effort by the West over the centuries and decades to bring Ethiopia, the land where the "gods" love to be, to her heels and be no more than a failed African state. Our Abunes, Clergy, Debteras, Deacons, and faithful must stand firm and preserve our faith and unique Christian culture as Satan continues to try and make Ethiopia just a land of legends and myths which is far from the truth.
Prester Jhon and Melke TSadik they have the same character!
Sadly, regarding the situation in Ethiopia right now, Dean W. Arnold got it completely wrong and also is missing some information regarding the history of Axum and how it came to be. Next time, please try to do a bit more research because it would be injustice to the innocent people dying. Thank you.
You really understood the Ethiopia history, culture and religion very well more than its people shouting here their comment indicates that th at they know nothing. Abt Ethiopia...
The Ethiopian Jews do claim that they are the descendants from Queen Sheba's and Solomon's son and his entourage of Jews he took from Israel. However, a more popular belief is that when the First Temple got destroyed and the Jews fled from Israel to Egypt and then later continuing to Ethiopia due to disagreements between the Jews living in Egypt. These Jews stayed there for thousands of years and did not learn of the writings in the Talmud and only practiced the older writings such as the Torah. Furthermore more, according to Jewish sages they originate from the tribe of Dan. It does explain why the Ark of the Covenant is claimed to be in Eritrea/Northern Ethiopia.

Why forgetting Eritrea 🇪🇷. Eritrea and Tigray region was the first orthodox after Egypt. Eritria get independent from Ethiopia colony in 1991. Christian missionaries came to Eritria 🇪🇷 first. Adulis is now digging and find 4th c church archeologist find that.
Ethiopians not convertd from Judia and the Felashs story is as you said when king solomen child Minlik he came with Ark of Covenant and so many people came an they are a place Gonder Amhara region.

This is my first time hearing Adam to be Ethiopian lol and falasha just means foreign it doesn't mean black jws
Selassie was never found he disappeared
It's "Falasha (fuh-lah-sha) and a derogatory term. They're well known. Ethiopia is NOT neighbouring Nigeria. Nigeria is in west Africa while Ethiopia is in north east Africa, very far from one another. Also, if you're curious about Biblical history in Nigeria look into the Igbos of Nigeria. They are now recognized by Israel as being one of the lost tribes along with several other Hebrews groups in Africa such as the Lemba and those in Madagascar.
@58:33 I think you were talking about the Didache?
Actually is didasclia
I think that the (Eastern) Orthodox Church is obliged to realize the Orthodox mission in Ethiopia and Eritrea.
No, before that eastern Orthodoxy should back to the council of Ephesus one nature from two nature must be accepted.
No, Orientals have to accept all Ecumenical councils including Chalcedon.
