Our Response:-

We still could not understand the whole lot of symbols and numbers you amassed in between your sentences. Please let us know why you are doing that sort of thing in both of your present and last emails.
Assuming that you have posed your remarks as questions, here are our answers

:
1) We, Ethiopians, of The Kingdom of God do not accept your assertion that Ethiopia is Orthodox, and Orthodox is Ethiopian. For us, they are quite different. Both the word Orthodox and the concept of Orthodoxy are foreign; they are not Ethiopian. They cannot be ours for many reasons, one of which is the existence of two irreconcilable Orthodoxies: the Greek that has some sort of basic affinity to Catholicism; and the Coptic (the Egyptian), that has close semblance to Tewah'do. Both these foreigners strived for centuries to distort and exterminate everything that is purely and genuinely Ethiopian, and substitute and implant thereby what is Egyptian or Greek in their respective scramble for domination of Ethiopia.
You must not be naïve to know that the Faith of Ethiopia and Ethiopians remained the Holy Covenant and ultimately Tewah'do throughout the unbroken survival of Ethiopia for the last 7, 500 years, long before the word of Orthodox came to be used in religious connotations around the 4th century after the Birth of Christ: the time when the doctrine of Orthodoxy was created.
So, we advise you to beware of the usage of the designation of Orthodox and the doctrine of Orthodoxy! It is maliciously misleading and potentially dangerous for the religious identity of Ethiopia and Ethiopians.

2) We also do not accept your vague statement that says "Victory and Defeat are by the hands of God." The Divine Truth speaks unequivocally and without a speck of doubt that God, and whoever is faithfully on His side, are always victorious and had never been defeated by any power, as was told in Revelations in reference to the Incarnate and Crucified God Jesus Christ Who was symbolized therein as "the Conquering Lion" and who relinquished the forces of Evil, Sin and Death. "Victory" is all the time the Blessed Legacy of True Ethiopians, and "Defeat" is the cursed garbage for the Devil and his followers only.

It is so good to keep our Orthodox religion with the help of GOD. But I want to pose as a question: (Are you saying) "why (does)Mkidusan keep the right of church?"

Our Response:-

Nibure-Id! I have two questions:

1.Who is greater? The Virgin Marry or the Holy Cross (bek'br)?

2.When Krstos came to this world, He did a lot of things: One of them was eating food. Does God eat? Why did He eat ? For now, this are my questions.

Our Response:-

 

The answers to your two email questions are as follows: 1) Both the Holy Virgin Mary and the Holy Cross are on the same basis and of equal status: The Virgin Mary is the Mother of God who derived Incarnation from Her humanity; and, the Holy Cross is the signification of the Crucifixion of the same Incarnate God, conceived and born of the Holy Virgin Mary. But, for ethical purpose that renders the Mother senior over the Son, and in compliance with the sequence of both events, it is our Ethiopian established tradition that we give precedence to The Holy Virgin Mary above The Holy Cross in pronouncing and writing the Name of the Former rather than the Latter. 2) Don't forget that Iyesus-Krstos is both Human and Divine. As a human-being, he eats and drinks and do all sorts of things that we, humans, do, except the commission of sin. He does this, i.e., eating and drinking, of course, with the complete unity (Tewah'do) of His Divinity and His Humanity.

I have been reading the book, Ethiopia and Ethiopiawinnet, by Nibure-Id Ermias. I found it very interesting and could also come across to know very crucial points that one Ethiopian should know and accept. I felt very happy and amazed while going through in depth, for I found that Ge'ez has been the original language of Adam and Eve in Heaven [Gennet of Eden]. This means Ge'ez has been the original language of Human beings until the fall of Babylon. I could also come to know that Eden Gennet had been in Ethiopia, around Lake Tana. And this time I want to know more about this knowledge and the source and the resources that are available.

 

Our Response:-

To learn that you had perused one of our books, Ethiopia and Ethiopiawinnet, by N'bure-Id Ermias, gave us contentment. For full enlightenment on the same subject, we hope you will continue to read the whole series of the three volumes with the same title, along with the other previous publications whose titles are all posted on our web site. This Divine Truth about Ethiopia and Ethiopiawinnet is inscribed by God Himself in the hearts and minds of Living True Ethiopians, and is manifest in the lives of the same, as well as in the Living Testimony of the Nation called Ethiopia. As such, the Knowledge that constitutes Ethiopia and Ethiopiawinnet is an inherent one that emanated from God Himself and enshrined within the individual Ethiopian entity. The source and the resources of this Divine Knowledge are, therefore, God Himself. And, It (the Knowledge) can only be attained by adhering to the Faith and Deed of the Holy Covenant of God that Ethiopians maintained for 7,500 years, and to this day. Other than that, for physical evidences, one could resort to the authentic texts of Scriptures (Holy Bible) and to the various and multiple Ge'ez manuscripts whose contents remain compatible with the Divine Knowledge enshrined in the True Ethiopian nature. We, in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, do not and never rely upon human historical tales and findings, relics and theories, as our sources and resources of the Divine Truth about Ethiopia and Ethiopianness, but solely on our Ethiopian Faith of the Holy Covenant. This is because of the fact that those human items aforementioned unfailingly tend to be vulnerable to any and every kind of deficiency, fabrication or perversion. For more information on this subject, we urge you to consult our Q & A Forum of our web site.

Our Response:-

In our Ethiopian Church of the Kingdom of God, the 16 (actually 15, the last Sunday being Ressurection Day) fasting days over and above the 40 days of Lent, resulted from the additional 2 weeks that are placed at the beginning and at the end of the long period respectively. We, Ethiopians, fast the first week, named "the Fast of H'rqal (Heraclius)" in commemoration of the Roman Emperor of the 7th century who responded to the call of Christians of Jerusalem for deliverance from the infidel invaders by rescuing them from the latter with his conquering forces. For Ethiopians, Jerusalem has special significance, as they inhabited it as pioneers from the time of its founder and their ancestor Melke-Zedeq to this day. As to the last week, named "H'mamat (Passion)", Ethiopians fast it separately but in conjunction with Lent in commemoration of the Passion of Christ. Throughout its duration, they confine themselves in the Churches in spirited meditation and contrition along with the continuous prayer and prostration. We hope the above brief answer meets your requirement.

Our Response to the First E-mail:

In the Name of the Holy Trinity!

In the Name of the Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of God!

In the Power of the Holy Crucifixion of Our Lord Jesus Christ! Ethiopian Greetings!

Thank you for your recent email. It is nostalgic to receive an overdue correspondence from a member of the same Parish Church of Mekane-Sema'i't Q'ddus Qirqos of Addis Abeba where I myself was born, grew up, educated and served and still belong, and to which, hopefully, you will ultimately prove to be a valuable asset. I congratulate you for the successes you maintained in your educational pursuit, and wish you the best for the attainment of your doctoral honour for which you said you are presently a candidate. Accepting honourably your gesture of humility that reads "My apologies if I myself erred by sending this email to you and to the members of our yahoo group site," I hereby respond to the comments you made in your email. It is rendered in my usual disposition of the Divine Truth of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God that my vocation in the Holy Covenant obliges me to discharge with the inspiration and guidance of The Holy Spirit to which I am eternally committed. When I do this, it is not without recognizing the possible recurrence here of the reckless attitude you had shown for my books as well as for our web site, as you had expressed in your email. However, I urge you, for your own benefit, to set aside such attitude for the time being, and to peruse this response seriously and attentively. I said this because you seem to be lacking the Divine Knowledge that Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God had preserved for millenniums and maintained to this day. Hence, focusing on the issue brought up in your email, I found it imperative to present this Knowledge to you, purely from the genuine Ethiopian perspective vis-à-vis that of the foreigners whose teachings you are in pursuit of. Now, let me open my presentation of response in an organized and orderly way, breaking it into four sections. The first concerns the main incentive of your email that prompted you to write it to me, as you expressed therein; the second deals with your personal status as you portrayed it; the third relates to the fundamental and universal Ethiopian belief with regard to the concept of Knowledge; and the forth is confined to concluding remarks.

1. To grapple with the first item, in which you passed your personal judgment that I erred in my dealings with your "spiritual brothers Tibebe-Iyesus and Haile-Petros, two of the members of our group yahoo site: Traditional Ethiopian Scholarship." my unequivocal refutation would follow after these paragraphs: However, before going into the details, I would like to let you know my evaluation of character and behaviour concerning your two colleagues whose names are aforementioned. From the assessment that I made on the attitude and action of each one of them, as presented and expressed in their respective emails, I could, in no way compare, by any standard, those of Ato T'bebe-Iyyesus with that of Ato Haile PeTros. The former (Ato T'bebe-Iyyesus), in addition to his previous prudence, has demonstrated relative decency through his expressed repentance communicated to me lately. He is, therefore, immune and absolved from any blame or wrongdoing that the latter (Ato Haile PeTros) had committed brazenly, including those that were implied. So, in all my dealings with the subject matter you raised in your email, concerning both your friends, and unless it is stated explicitly and is relevant to Ato T'bebe-Iyyesus specifically, be mindful to recognize this fact when perusing the contents of my response, particularly that section that involves both. When I started to write my responses to the first emails to both, the primary gesture I showed was an expression of my appreciation to them not only for taking that initiative, but also for being frank with me in their email correspondences. I reacted appropriately without deviating from the Ethiopian way of humility and devotion to my Ethiopian commitment indicated above. I do not think that there was anything unusual in the emails of my response, except simple replies to the questions presented, and to the opinions conveyed to me by the aforementioned. I merely did what my vocation as the servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God required me to accomplish, with no intention on my part to hurt anyone of your two friends whatsoever, and with no personal feeling of mine affected by no one else. What was at stake there, was not something that concerns personal matters or conflicts; it was more serious and of great urgency than that: It was and still is a critical situation in which the spiritual warfare of the Evil Spirit against The Holy Spirit is involved. Without wavering hither and thither, and without implicating any ulterior motive or consideration, it was my duty to enlighten them with what they need to know, i.e., to provide them straightforwardly with the knowledge of the Divine Truth. I believe such was the kind of work that any body would expect of me, as a responsible servant of the Divine Truth of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, to undertake and achieve with regard to the correspondence I made with your colleagues. I wondered why you wrote me your email in the first place, and, since you did, what was the message you were trying to send to me. As a student of Theology, I think you need to be cautious in selecting your references that are pertinent to the subject under discussion. It was perplexing to me to find your statements and quotations, expressed and referred to in your email, lacking any relevance and purpose in relation to the main issue of the same. Here are some of the prominent ones:

a) You said, for example, "you know that the crux of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ is LOVE (GK. agapy), so that we are supposed to win people by the same LOVE we learn from the Lord; not by resisting what we think is wicked by a similar wickedness (Mtt. 5:39). While mentioning the word LOVE, I do not know why you needed to include the Gk. word "agapy" along with the English. Instead, if there was the need, I would rather prefer you used the G'i'z equivalent of F'QRE-IGZIAB'HER. How about your statement that says, "it is unlikely that we can correct a mistake by doing another mistake. That means, while trying to correct their ideas which you deemed to be erroneous, I think, you yourself erred when you used a few strong words that I do not need to mention them," together with your specific quotation of Mtt. 5: 39, as well as your reference to Our Lord's teaching with regard to the two sisters', Mary's and Marta's, conduct? It seems to me that you need to know the true interpretation of the word F'Q'R, from the Ethiopian perspective of the Holy Covenant. The Word of God differentiates and categorizes LOVE in Its type and rank, according to the following quotations: "But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?" Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets." (Mt.22/34-40) Here comes the crucial interpretation of LOVE that religious proponents of dualism and double standard abhor and shun: "Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. For I have come to 'set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law'; and 'a man's enemies will be those of his own household.' He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me. And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me. He who finds his life will lose it, and he who loses his life for My sake will find it." "If anyone comes to Me and does not hate his father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters, yes, and his own life also, he cannot be My disciple." (Mt.10/34-39; Lk. 12/49-53; 14/25-26) So, you ought to identify of which LOVE you are talking about or referring to: The one that is of or for self, of or for the neighbour, or, of or for God? Whose teaching am I required to listen to, follow and adhere to? Yours? Or God's? My dear scholar of Theology, I, as an Ethiopian and servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, stand thus for the DIVINE LOVE that incorporates also the other two components, the self and the neighbor's Love. The Divine Truth had provided us, two millenniums years ago, with the righteous answers to these questions, in Word and Deed, thus. The Divine Love, the Purest and the Perfect One, that became Incarnate, personified in Jesus Christ, strived and sacrificed Itself for the sake of the Lost Sheep of Israel, as well as for all humanity, to whom It came into this world in order to win them for Itself and for their own Eternal Salvation. Yet, alas, all was in vain; It made no success as far as the latter are concerned. They, not only rejected It, but also killed It by crucifixion, let alone render themselves to be won by It. During that entire bloody ordeal, Its Personification, Jesus Christ persevered in His Love to His tormenters. He went even further to the extent of interceding His Divine Father for their Absolution from their grave sin, while their unabated torment of Him on His Cross was underway. In spite of all those agonizing experiences, He never, even for an instant, relinquished His constant pronouncement and act of refuting and opposing wickedness. Therefore, your statement in which you surmised "that we are supposed to win people by the same LOVE we learn from the Lord; not by resisting what we think is wicked by a similar wickedness" proves inconsistent with the reality of the above Utterances and the Deeds of Our Lord that remained effective ever since and to this day. As a result, your conjecture that renders all the utterances and deeds thus made by Our Lord to constitute "a similar wickedness" committed "by resisting what we think is wicked," amounts to blasphemy, and demands the immediate submission of the perpetrator to the appropriate ordinance of repentance. Hence, I advise you to comply with this spiritual commitment without delay.

b) Your quotation of Mt. 5:39 seem to be out of context. It is irrelevant to our case. Here, we are not dealing with an internecine conflict, viz. evil against evil, as you visualized in your misconception and wrote as "resisting what we think is wicked by a similar wickedness", but in a perpetual and celestial warfare waged by the Evil Spirit on all that is of The Holy Spirit, as explained above. I would have rather preferred to fulfill that Divine Ordinance expressed in "Not to resist an evil person," had "your spiritual brothers" perpetrated those physical, mental and spiritual afflictions upon me, as I endured plenty of them in their diversified forms from the time of the reign of terror of the Dergue rule to the present. Notwithstanding the above reference you quoted, in which Our Lord Jesus Christ instructed us "Not to resist an evil person," He had never ceased to speak of The Divine Truth against hypocrisy, lie, and all other evils He endured in all the provocations, persecutions, inquisitions, despises, humiliations, physical sufferings and bodily afflictions. These evils were instigated and inflicted by the Devil and his henchmen upon Him all through His Life of temptation, and while He was on Earth, even at the last moment of His Crucifixion and Death thereon. Such Divine Stance and Deed of Our Lord were the phenomena that always served me as a paradigm in the discharge of my vocational commitment, including when I dealt with the confrontation that was initiated by Ato Haile Petros. This course of action, just as all Faithful Disciples of Jesus Christ, following suit, did and continue to do, will remain with me as such as long as The Lord and His Holy Mother allowed me to stay in this hostile world of the flesh. For you, even as an apprentice and inexperienced young scholar, it would have not been so insurmountable to comprehend and distinguish the way your spiritual brothers, particularly Ato Haile PeTros, presented their emails and acted thereupon. Rather than resorting to that consideration, and reprimanding your own friends for their uncalled-for actions, you simply elected to jumping into conclusion and making your own biased judgment to the extent of proclaiming that I erred. How on earth, did your theologically oriented mind permit you to pronounce such verdict? Is telling The Divine Truth against the Devil's lie to err? No, it is not. Alternatively, is to correct the Devil's mistake by the Justice of The Divine Truth "doing another mistake?" No, it is not. Or, is "resisting what we think is wicked by" the Stipulations of The Divine Truth committing "a similar wickedness"? No, it is not. You see, how your mind-set and perception are perverted? I hope and pray that you will make the necessary meditation in the Holy Spirit and acquire the revelation of The Divine Truth. By such biased and prejudicial action you took, you began to show the symptom of failing the test of a man of theological studies to stand for the Divine Truth rather than for siding with men of the world just for fear of reprisals or loss of selfish interests. Let me disclose those "few strong words" that you refrained from mentioning them: They are words that refer to the Devil and to his sinister acts. I used them, specifically, in my response to the emails of your spiritual brother Ato Haile PeTros with whom I had neither any prior acquaintance nor had he any prior communication with me. The latter became overwhelmingly and hysterically, even relentlessly and blatantly aggressive in attacking me with his emails. He did this just all of a sudden, as if from the blue, and without any provocation whatsoever from our part. It was quite evident for any religious or spiritual person to recognize easily such unbecoming emotional attitude and behaviour that could not, in the first place, be conceived of, and in any way acted upon by someone whom the Holy Spirit inspired, but only by someone who is possessed by the Evil Spirit. The immediate reaction of Ato T'bebe-Iyyesus to such indecent conduct conspicuously demonstrated the justification of this assessment, when he reprimanded the culprit, his own "spiritual brother", by an email, a copy of which I received carrying such outrageous sentimental outbursts from the latter. To substantiate the case in point with greater vindication, a recollection of the brief dialogue that took place between Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostle Simon Peter during an episode on their way to Jerusalem would suffice. When The Master revealed to His Disciples of the Passion, Crucifixion and Death that awaited Him, "Peter took Him [Jesus Christ] aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, 'Far be it from You, Lord; this shall not happen to You!' But He turned and said to Peter, 'Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men." Did St. Peter turn into becoming Satan then? No. Yet, the evil thought that he conceived of in his mind and which he dared to bring it forth and speak it to His Master, the Incarnate God, a thought that inherently contravened the Divine Will, made Peter, in the Eyes of God, Satan. At that moment, Peter was viewed as possessed by the Devil. Are you incapable to discern The Divine Truth that when Our Lord pronounced those Words of Reprimand against Peter, personifying him as Satan, His Utterance was not devoid of the Love that you referred to above? Now, would you be willing to pose to render your verdict to the admonition of Our Lord uttered to His Head of the Apostles, Simon Peter, as you had done on me? Please be mindful and assured that I was in the same mental state when I composed, in the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, those "few strong words" you refrained from "mentioning them." and mailed my email to Ato Haile PeTros "your spiritual brother" and my friend. It was not me but The Holy Spirit that spoke then, through His Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, the Eternal Entity of The Divine Truth, both to Ato Haile PeTros, the human, and to Satan, the Evil Spirit that possessed the former. Such situation of the same episode that took place between the Master and the Apostle is, of course, one of the daily recurrences that kept on to happen in the lives of all human beings, believers as well as unbelievers, for the last two millenniums, and even in more aggravated condition for the preceding five and half millenniums. Our instance in question is not different from that: It was simply another enactment of that episode. Simon Peter, the human, was possessed momentarily by the Devil simply because of the evil thought that was conceived of and spoken by the former entertained and provided the right and authority to be possessed by the latter. This was what took place in the case of Ato Haile PeTros. Just as The Incarnate God, by His Divine Power, exposed the Devil that took control of the. human person of Simon Peter in its entirety, so also The Holy Spirit did the same on the Devil that possessed the person of Ato Haile PeTros.

c) To make you understand more easily and effectively about our position with regard to the issue under consideration, this is how we, in the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, overturn and rephrase your statement included in your email: "It is imperative for us, True Ethiopians of the Holy Covenant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God to say: 'We should not leave a stone unturned to defend, not ourselves, but THE DIVINE TRUTH, against the Devil and his hostilities, in the Grace and Power of The Holy Spirit, and to repulse all and every provocations, attempts, pretensions and acts that emanate from him, the Devil, and his henchmen in any of their forms, overt and/or covert, yes, "when people accuse us" because of the Cause of THE DIVINE TRUTH of the Holy Covenant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God."

d) As to your view that says, "we need to leave the issue to God, in order that HE, the true Judge, may stand on our behalf as long as we are sure that our actions/duties are done in accordance with the word of God." we have our reservations. Yes, Judgment is the Exclusive Divine Prerogative of God Alone. Yet, for Him to administer His Judgment, He expects, even demands, from each one of us, first and foremost, the categorical requirement of fulfilling his/her part. That commitment is to live up to The Divine Truth of the Holy Covenant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, and fight the Devil and his henchmen fearlessly and unreservedly to the ultimate success, with the Grace and Power of the Holy Spirit, for the maintenance of Her Triumphant and Eternal Existence. This is exactly what I did when I dealt with the issues of the emails of your "spiritual brothers" and which duty I will strive to do always.

e) The reference you made with regard to the case of the two sisters, Mary and Martha, again, does not merit any applicability to the issue in question, since no trace of evil sentiment or the Devil's influence was implicated in the occupational choice or conduct of both the sisters. Neither was there any hint of favoritism or condemnation, even by implication, in Our Lord's treatment of the question raised by Martha except that His utterance manifests only the Divine Endorsement of the individual preferences of both sisters in the vocation each chose to commit her life to. Whereas the core of our subject matter that is under scrutiny concerns the involvement of the Devil to which concern, the proper and adequate handling is already given.

f) I was glad by the initiative Ato Haile PeTros took in writing me, because that venture served us a great purpose. It helped to expose, at least to us who are in the Service of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, if not for anybody else, the true nature and the identity of your spiritual brothers, quintessential representations "of the members of" your "group yahoo site: Traditional Ethiopian Scholarship." who are known by their acclaimed designation of "WE'EMFIREHOMU TEAMIRIWOMU". As you see, such appellation proves to be a fitting description of them, since the Word of Our Lord Jesus Christ designated the term only to the false prophets. When He warned His Disciples to "Beware of" the latter, He provided them with the distinct clue to recognize the former, by pointing out in His Word that says, "YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUITS", the English version of your Ge'ez title of your Group, if that is the object being referred to in your own statement. In fact, I am a little confused why you chose to use this Quotation "WE'EMFIREHOMU TEAMIRIWOMU"(Mtt. 7:16), as the title for the issue you raised. What purpose did you intend for it to serve, since it is only in relation to "the false prophets" that Our Lord uttered it. Is your quotation meant to refer, implicitly or explicitly, to me, as your "spiritual brother" Ato Haile PeTros openly alleged in his previous email to which I responded on time, or to our Services as a whole? If it is the title you designated to your group's mission, it proves damaging, although it conveyed the Divine Truth in exposing your true identity, by revealing the kind of fruit that you are producing, as explained above.

2) This much suffices for the main issue that your email was meant about, and which you projected to accomplish. Now, let me impart with you the mutual personal matters of concern that you expressed in the statements of your email

a) The first reads, "Honesly, I have not ever read any of your books. But I have got a glimpse into your vocation and interest from your website." You gave this statement at the end of your introduction of your own background and scholastic achievements in the field of Theology with your ongoing pursuit of the prospective candidacy for the doctoral honor. I appreciate your honesty in confessing your flagrant disregard for my books and your brazen contempt for "my vocation and interest", which you meant to belittle and which feeling you exhibited in your own expression of "the glimpse you have got" from our web site. You acknowledged that you know who I am personally and what my vocation is, as well as the official positions I held before the Dergue assumed power, since you and I cohabit in the same Parish, as you stated in your email. In addition to that, you claim to be an Ethiopian, and a Theological student for that matter. As such, it was appropriate and imperative for you to have been able to make yourself worthy of being one of the primary persons to look for, get and read my books, as well as one of the leading customary visitors of our web site, as both domains concern Ethiopia and what is Ethiopian, including the area of theology. Yet, as you admitted, you did not bother even to comply with these common duties, until the current case of your two "spiritual brothers and members of your group yahoo site: Traditional Ethiopian Scholarship," and whose names are already mentioned above, emerged. To these personal acquaintances, you seem to be greatly committed, more concerned and eagerly involved than the Divine Truth you are called for to serve as a student of Theology.

b) The following is the personal advice that I am obliged to give you on behalf of The Divine Truth of The Holy Covenant. On my part, I am only offering it to you, as the servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, and in compliance to the Word of God that says, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' Whereas, on your part, I believe, you wrote me because, the Holy Spirit willed it, and urged it: An act I assumed to be a good omen. Therefore, I did not prefer to miss such opportunity: An opportunity to convey The Divine Truth of the Holy Covenant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, not only to you, but also to all your contemporaries. I shall tell you only the most important, basic and crucial points that are pertinent to your person, of course, as related to the contents of your email.

c) Under the circumstances, you and I should be cognizant of the spiritual fact that when The Divine Truth speaks through any human being to persons of this world, let alone to those who serve the cause of the Devil, both the latter will be agitated and their hatred ignited. This is inevitable, because the Divine Truth spoke two millenniums years ago in the following terms: "And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. But he who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen, that they have been done in God." The Lord said to those unbelievers and worldly people, "The world cannot hate you; but it hates Me because I testify of it that its works are evil." He said to those who believed in Him, "If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own. Yet, because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you." (Jn. 3/19-21; 7/7; 15/18-18) Here and now, when The Divine Truth speaks, as a matter of coincidence, through a committed Ethiopian veteran and servant of lifetime vocation, who underwent a multitude of experiences and diverse vicissitudes, the consequence will remain the same. So, don't be surprised, and don't panic, as the case maybe, if, the utterance I am to make turns out to be as such. Bear me when I present the Divine Message that God The Holy Spirit meant to you and to your likes:

d) Allow me, if you will, to kindly request you to make a recollection of your own mindset, just for an instant, as to what its condition was when you composed your email in which you articulately expressed thus: "Honesly [Honestly], I have not ever read any of your books. But I have got a glimpse into your vocation and interest from your website." (Insertion and emphasis mine.) Any sensible observer could easily discern and make his/her own inference from the above quoted statement of yours, and from the several remarks noted in your email, that he/she conceives of the motive of your unwillingness to read any of my books, and your reluctance even to hastily visit a segment of our web site. Now, I ask you to make your own confession to God the Holy Spirit and the Divine Truth and tell the fact of the matter as to where from had such motive derived. Indeed, God and you know that. The aforementioned statement that you gave, of course, upon the urge of The Holy Spirit made us also to know the source of that motive. As The Divine Truth demands of me to expose that evil secret, in the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, I, hereby, submit to the Divine Demand, and present the case in the following words believing that it corresponds to the confession you already made to God. Did not this motive derive from your own deep-seated feeling of:

i) conceit? Considering yourself an accomplished educated man, of domestic and foreign orientations, and a scholar as such in the modern concept of intellectual pursuit that is pending to culminate in your attainment of the PhD honour, you seem to be overwhelmed by such infatuation that utterly dominates all humans, may be, I do not know, with few exceptions.

ii) contempt? This is concomitant to the above, as a result of which such attitude of revulsion for everything that is Ethiopian seems to be engendered within yourself and which is characteristic of Ethiopians, the syndrome that unfailingly infects all your likes, the secular as well as the spiritual ones. If this is the case, the reality is that you fall prey into the trap of vanity and hypocrisy, and nothingness in the eyes of The Divine Truth. As a human being and as a scholar, you seem to be following the same pattern and traces of your predecessors and contemporaries who treaded invariably on such track, irrespective of their field of professions, including, regrettably, those in the pursuit of theological studies like you, who ended up just the same way as all the rest. From the substance of your email, I perceived in you a symptom of that tendency in all its manifestations that are apparent upon our clergy of all ranks. You need to disavow and discard this malady right now in its stage of infancy, if you truly aspire to attain the genuine integrity of scholarship and professionalism that would prove to be beneficial to Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God in the Holy Covenant.

e) From what I gathered from the email correspondences that I conducted with one of your colleagues, namely, Ato Haile PeTros, and from your lack of any knowledge of what is genuinely Ethiopian, as attested from your disinterest and scorn for what is Ethiopian, I don't think that the knowledge you have acquired so far would prove to be Ethiopian. All your intellectual and theological efforts apparently are focused and concentrated only on what is non-Ethiopian; and that would ultimately turn out to be detrimental to what is Ethiopian. You are engaged in something that deals with and promotes the causes that pertain to Coptic and/or Greek Orthodoxy, or any thing that may have to do with the ecumenical matters, but all devoid of all fundamentals that are pertinent to what is Ethiopian. Unfortunately, such courses of actions are found to be diametrically opposed and destructive to whatever is Ethiopian, which God worked on ever since the time of Creation of Adam and Eve to the present. Let me tell you emphatically that unless every part of your scholastic pursuit and achievement is based on the Divine Knowledge of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God in the Holy Covenant and the Divine Truth, it will prove to be not only futile, but also null and void as far as what is Ethiopian is concerned. To be more explicit, your acquirement of BA, MA and PhD in whatever field of study would not be utilized for the benefit of or to the serve the Divine Cause of Ethiopia and Ethiopians. Had you had the spiritual will and courage to read or even consult what is contained and conveyed in my publications, you would have saved yourself from such unfortunate consequences. That positive measure would have provided you at least with the capacity and resourcefulness to view and evaluate the Ethiopian perspective vis-à-vis the foreign and/or the ecumenical outlook in theology, history and other branches of learning. If, however, you still want to make your scholarly achievement worthy of anything that would contribute to the above mentioned Ethiopian Cause, it is not late for you to salvage your dire situation, as your undertaking of working on your doctoral dissertation is underway as yet. There, a unique opportunity presents itself for you to make some compromising inputs in favour of what is Ethiopian. I dared to suggest this proposal not without suspecting or being mindful of the likelihood of your chance of losing your eligibility for the conferral of your PhD, as your professors would never endorse any presentation that constitutes Ethiopian of the Divine Truth. Yet, I doubt whether you will opt to stand fast to such allegiance. But, who knows, if you do, you will certainly become to be numbered among those Ethiopian Martyrs who sacrificed, not only their individual interests, but also their lives for the sake of their Ethiopian Divine Heritage.

3. Now, we need to turn to deal with a fundamental and crucial question. This is the most obvious but profoundly natural matter for any normal and healthy person to comprehend and answer, let alone for you, an academic who is specialized in Theology. Even if you, as a scholar, may feel humbled to be lectured and interviewed in such common and elementary catechistic style, I hope you will let us have your forbearance at least for a moment.

a) To that end, here are the questions I pose to you. Is there any being, created or non-created (if you find one), human or angelic, secular or religious, male or female, foreign or Ethiopian, black, red, white or yellow, philosopher or thinker in any field, metaphysical scientist or theological professor, historical or contemporary, you name it if you will, that you know of, who is more knowledgeable, learned, educated and wise, and who is more capable to teach, other than God? Is there any knowledge with the same specifications of the foregoing, which is better, greater or higher than that of The Divine? I presume your answer to both questions is hopefully and singularly NONE.

b) You also know and believe that God had created every human person, including you and me, in His Image of Divinity. Such Wonder of Creation that emerged into human beings in Divinity began to develop from the original, then proceeded into the intermediate, and finally culminated unto the Perfect Completeness of the Everlasting Present. The enhancement of this phenomenon was divinely set off and revealed in the first, the second and the third stages, as briefly explained hereunder:

i) The first stage of Human Divinity, of course, was realized when Adam and Eve were created in the Image of God, and confined only in the Divine Realm of Goodness, as attested in Scriptures that says, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (Gen. 1/27.) The progeny of this stage continued its survival through the recurrence of the procreation and the life that span from conception to birth and up to the age of adolescence of each one of us, whereby only the Good dominates every aspect of our lives.

ii) The second stage of Human Divinity occurred when our primal ancestors ate the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. This was the epoch when they were both proclaimed by God to attain Fullness of Divinity, as attested in Scriptures that says, "Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like One of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever, therefore, the LORD God sent him out of the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken." (Gen. 3/22-23). The progeny of this stage continued its survival through the recurrence of the attainment of adulthood. It is at this stage whereby the knowledge of Good and Evil transcends, the will and the choice to commit either of the two prevails, and the capability to decisively execute the preference avails itself, in the life that span from adulthood to old age and death of each one of us.

iii) The third stage of Human Divinity culminated when the human person is baptized in the Names of the Divine Father, the Divine Son and the Divine Holy Spirit, One God, and partakes the Holy Communion, the Tree of Life acquired through the Sacrifice, Atonement and Redemption of Jesus Christ. By performing such Act of Faith, each one of us becomes Eternal and Divine Son and Daughter of God, Priest and Priestess, King and Queen. Such status is attained over and above the Divinity each one of us already possessed originally in the first stage, but which we rejected and lost of our own will and choice in the second stage, in preference to the evil. The Body of Our Lord crucified on the Cross and the Blood shed thereon purified, restored and affirmed the third and final stage that is ultimately maintained and eternalized for the Life of Divinity in Sanctity. This is attested in Scriptures that says, in fulfillment of "And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever," Our Lord Jesus Christ declared that "This is the Bread which comes down from Heaven, that one may eat of it and not die. I am the Living Bread which came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever; and the Bread that I shall give is My Flesh, which I shall give for the Life of the world." "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."… "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become Children of God, to those who believe in His Name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man and woman, but of God." "Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." (Gen. 3/22-23; Mt. 28/18-20; Jn. 1/12-13; Jn.3/5-6.) The progeny of this stage continued their survival for the last two millenniums of the Era of the Covenant of Mercy. This was acquired by The Incarnate God Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Mother of God The Virgin Mary, through the recurrence of the attainment of Divine Childhood, Citizenship, Priesthood and Royalty in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God of the Holy Covenant, the Life of God where evil, sin and death non-exist. The above brief presentation is the revelation of The Divine Truth with regard to the identity of the individual human who is personified as the Ethiopian. The latter, in the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, remained for millenniums on end and to this day, as the intelligent creature who acquired his/her knowledge, teaching and belief of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God directly and inherently from his/her Divine Creator, Provider, Protector and Redeemer.

c) The following quotations of the Words of God corroborate this Divine Reality: "All your children shall be taught by the LORD. And great shall be the peace of your children." "Then the Word of the LORD came to me, saying: " Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations." Then said I: " Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth." But the LORD said to me: " Do not say, 'I am a youth,' For you shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak. Do not be afraid of their faces, for I am with you to deliver you," says the LORD. Then the LORD put forth His hand and touched my mouth, and the LORD said to me: " Behold, I have put My Words in your mouth. See, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out and to pull down, to destroy and to throw down, to build and to plant." "Behold, the days are coming, says the LORD, when I will make a New Covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah -not according to the Covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt, My Covenant which they broke, though I was a husband to them, says the LORD. But this is the Covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, says the LORD: I will put My Law in their minds, and write It on their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people. No more shall every man teach his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, 'Know the LORD,' for they all shall know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more." "It is written in the prophets, 'And they shall all be taught by God.' Therefore everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to Me." "Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. And the Jews marveled, saying, "How does this Man know letters, having never studied?" Jesus answered them and said, "My doctrine is not Mine, but His who sent Me. If anyone wills to do His will, he shall know concerning the doctrine, whether it is from God or whether I speak on My own authority. He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him." "Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they …conferred among themselves, saying, "What shall we do to these men? For, indeed, that a notable miracle has been done through them is evident to all who dwell in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it. But so that it spreads no further among the people, let us severely threaten them, that from now on they speak to no man in this name. So they called them and commanded them not to speak at all nor teach in the name of Jesus. But Peter and John answered and said to them, "Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you more than to God, you judge. For we cannot but speak the things which we have seen and heard." "But I make known to you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. For, I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but it came through the revelation of Jesus Christ. "For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent." Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. For Jews request a sign, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. Glory Only in the Lord. "For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, that no flesh should glory in His presence. But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God-and righteousness and sanctification and redemption- that, as it is written, "He who glories, let him glory in the LORD." (Isa. 54/13; Jer. 1/4-10; 9/24; 31/31-34; Jn. 6/45; 7/14-18; Act. 4/13-20; Heb. 8/8-12; Gal. 1/11-12)

d) Now, as such, and according to the stipulations of The Divine Truth that the Word of God expressly provided heretofore, you and I, and for that matter, every human being, are the Image and One of Him, as well as Son/Daughter of God. Yes, God wanted each one of us to be, live and act like Him, no question about that. If you choose, of your own will, to know and accept in Faith this Divine Gift and Truth, you can think, speak or write, and act and live like God. For someone to attain such spiritual transcendence, it is as simple as doing anything ordinary that worth personal preference. Accordingly, if a human being, like you and me, of his/her free will and choice, resolves, on the one hand, to promote himself/herself into becoming an angel, and then to think and speak, act and live as such, he/she can. Or, on the other hand, if the latter resolves, in the same manner, to remain a bare human, or to demote himself/herself into becoming an animal, a beast, Satan, or even worse than the Devil, and then to think and speak, act and live, yes, he/she can. However, regrettably and surprisingly, the intransigent tendency of all human beings, right from the beginning, viz., from Adam and Eve, became manifest in exclusively following suit of the evil path of their predecessors. This is, of course, with the exception of a handful of hopefuls with whom God made Transitory Covenants. Such condition of human misery remained a status quo up until the Advent of The Holy Virgin Mary Who bore God The Son, The Lord Jesus Christ.

e) At the End of Time, The Virgin Mary uniquely and unequivocally refused to succumb to the will of the flesh, and to let Herself fall victim of the usual evil tendency, that retraced the same track upon which all humans treaded in the direction of the domain where the Devil rules, Sin prevails and Death dominates. The Virgin Mary, being immaculate in Her Faith and Love of The Divine Truth, vigorously desired and totally resolved, to tend and commit Herself into becoming completely the Divine Image of God, to learn from Him and acquire His Knowledge. She totally rejected the human or the evil one as Her kinds from the time of Adam and Eve to Her Day were entirely inclined and determined to make their preferences. To achieve this end, of course, She exercised Her enhanced triune Divine Powers that were inherent in the human nature bestowed by the Benevolence of God, as explained above. These Sacred Virtues are the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Willpower to reject the Evil in favour of the Good, finally the utilization of the capability to execute the preference She had decided upon. By electing and using the nature of our Divinity, each one of us will be capable, just as the Holy Virgin Mary was capable of becoming Mother of God, of acquiring the highest Divine knowledge a human being who elects only the use of the physical and/or the mental nature is incapable to achieve.

f) This brings us to the core of the matter that I wanted to draw your attention to, viz. that God, the Source and Author of All Knowledge had already taught each one of us, including you. And we individually have already acquired His Knowledge. The following quotation upholds the above assertion: "But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. But he who is spiritual judges all things, yet he himself is rightly judged by no one. For "who has known the mind of the LORD that he may instruct Him?" But we have the mind of Christ." (1Cor. 2/ 14-16) This phenomenon materialized through the process of His human creation that began in the possession of His Image and culminated in our present being of the enhanced Divine Status, which came about by means of those gradual developments of the three stages already explained. However, the reaction of humans for such extraordinary benevolent gift of God proved to be contrary to the Divine Will, as was evidenced by the choice and act of Adam and Eve who preferred the evil teaching and knowledge offered to them by the adversary of God rather than that offered to them by God their Creator Himself earlier. Ever since then, the general tendency of humans remained the same as their predecessors throughout the ages even to this day, with the exception of Ethiopians who learn only from God through their inherent creation of Divinity. Whereas the rest of humanity elected to take that evil course of action and survival, only Ethiopians, from the time of the repentant Adam and Eve, decisively preferred to lead the Divine Ordinance of the privileged Life. They continued to adhere to that preference through those singular personalities of the Faith of the Holy Covenant until the Advent of The Virgin Mary, the Ethiopian, and the Birth of The Incarnate God Jesus Christ from Her.

g) Ethiopians of The Kingdom of God in the Holy Covenant believe that Knowledge is of, from and by God. The Knowledge that emanates from God, and not from the humans, is the best and the highest, and the perfect and the eternal one. Yes, there is no knowledge that supersedes that of the Divine, which God implanted within our individual self. There is neither teaching nor teacher in the whole of Creation that is higher or greater than that of Our Creator and Him. True Ethiopians live up to that belief about Knowledge, as all the other creations were made and destined to be. As far as Ethiopians of the Holy Covenant are concerned, it is their established faith and norm for the Divine Knowledge to exist and prevail within the whole universe in general, and among themselves in particular, just as it is for the Divine Truth and the Divine Love to be so, as described herein and elsewhere. The entire world always supposes and continues to pretend to suppose that there is an alternative knowledge other than that of the Divine. However, True Ethiopians never accepted and followed such supposition or pretension. In fact, the Precepts of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God in the Holy Covenant render the latter null and void. According to the Precepts to which we, Ethiopians of the Holy Covenant adhere, those human suppositions and pretensions about knowledge are only temporal, meant to serve the material and physical needs of the human life on Earth. We give precedence solely to the Divine Knowledge that is inherent in our nature, as described heretofore, over and above all other knowledge, human, devilish or even angelic. Unless these latter ones are separately and/or collectively based on the former, i.e., on The Divine Knowledge, they are considered by Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, not only as perversion of The Divine Knowledge that constitutes evil, but also they are rendered null and void, as stated earlier. From the time of Adam and Eve to this day, the rest of humanity, just as it had done and continues to do with regard to the Holy Covenant, persisted in its rejection of the Divine Knowledge in favour of the human knowledge that is perverted and constitutes as evil. As a result, the wisdom, toil and achievements of humans always ended up, without exception, in strife, destruction and death, as recited in Scriptures. (Mt. 7/24-27; 1Cor. 1/18-31)

4. In closing, let me extend to you few relevant and conducive remarks:

a) I advice you not to disregard, ridicule, or evade the foregoing Words and Precepts of God, as others who boast of their professional acquirements and scholarly statuses do, but rather to beware of them. If you truthfully claim to be an Ethiopian yourself, you need to be preoccupied in the vocation of propagating about the greatest Providential Phenomenon that God did for and about Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, rather than in meddling and engaging yourself in foreign concepts and concerns, like Hellenism or Orthodoxy and the Greek Term of AGAPE. For me, you may be another typical image of the present impenitent and intransigent Ethiopian generation, particularly the elite group that claims to be well educated in the modern and foreign implications, and more specifically the religious youth within this sector. Once again, I exhort you, and through you, all members of the aforementioned, to come to your senses and hearken to the Divine Message of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God that calls for your repentance and devotion to the Holy Covenant your predecessors made with God. I implore you to be, as Ethiopians, cognizant of your status, among humanity, of seniority and loyalty in the Eyes of God. Be mindful of the fact that nations like the Greeks and Egypians (Copts) were pagans while we, Ethiopians, were Believers and Worshippers of God. As such, you need to be conscious of your obligation to discharge your responsibility of leading humanity to the Knowledge of God. Not only God, but also the whole world expect of and look upon you, as Ethiopians, for such leadership. Their desire and expectation is not to see you simply hauled handcuffed and blindfolded on everything that is foreign and detrimental to yourself and to what is Ethiopian, thus bringing down your God-given status to such level of degradation that remains unimaginable and unacceptable in their sight. The following Words of God depict The Divine Truth that is presented above: "Are you not like the children of Ethiopia to Me, O children of Israel?" says the LORD." "And he [the father] said to him [the older son], 'Son, you are always with me, and all that I have is yours. It was right that we should make merry and be glad, for your brother was dead and is alive again, and was lost and is found,'" the eldest son exemplifying the Ethiopians while the younger one the children of Israel in the Parable of the Lost Son. (Amos 9/7; Lk. 15/31-32) To this end, I emphatically suggest that you read those books and publications posted on our web site, including those contained in the Q & A Section.

b) There is a new revelation that I came to discern concerning the present Ethiopian generation's attitude vis-à-vis my vocation. The current controversy could serve as a case in point. It is the one that is underway between members of the generation implicating, on one side, the House of the People, the House of the Priesthood and the House of the Government, as represented herein by you and your spiritual brothers, and on the other, Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God Services, as represented by my person. Such is the mystery that I recently discovered from my lifelong and accumulated vocational experiences in this respect. It involves the Ethiopian custom through which a conventional perception remained vigorously pursued to this day. According to this perception, the above-mentioned archaic national establishments do not expect of me, as a clergyman, to behave and act in such a way that I, in all my life so far, lived and served, and am presently conducting my life and service. That is to say that in their outdated opinion they firmly believe that I am not permitted to be outspoken, objective and instructive, and, when necessary and appropriate, authoritative and aggressive in my teaching services. My only option, according to their view, is to behave and act like all the members of the priesthood. These priests are required simply to succumb to the whims of, and to be subservient, not only to the despotic clerical hierarchy, but also to that of the lay authority and even to that of the common laity. The clergy has to submit unequivocally to what the latter say, want, desire, command, not only in the physical, but also in the mental and spiritual aspects of the life of the community. Such is no more the case in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God. Here, it is The Word of God, The Divine Truth and The Divine Knowledge, and The Divne Love Personified in The Incarnate Jesus Christ and The Virgin Mary, The Mother of God that Reign and Lead the lives of the members of all the Houses of the People, of the Priesthood and of the Government.

c) A final reminder for you: I am sure by now you realized what Mekane-Sema'i't means, not only in the literal sense, but also in the actual. The name refers to the Parish in which you and I were born, grew up, educated, served, and still reside. It connotes "The Community of Ethiopian Martyrs." As such, it remains the Community of Ethiopian disciples, zealots, men and women, boys and girls, elderly and young that stands in constant guard of the Divine Knowledge and the Divine Truth of the Holy Covenant of Ethiopia. It continues to challenge every sort of falsehood, the human or that of the Devil. If need be, its Faithful Members are ready to sacrifice their lives, in faith and patriotism, for the cause and sake of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God in the Holy Covenant, following the footsteps of our Infant Patron Martyr Saint Qirqos and his Mother Saint IyyeluTa. I wish and pray that you prove to be a worthy sweet fruit of this Parish, not the bitter produce of foreign made.

Our Second Response:-

I am contented to learn and overjoyed to get the written assurance that you are someone whom I heartily aspired to be, i.e., a True Ethiopian. I praised God for that revelation. My perception of you proved to be false as evidenced in your email that reads "Your assumption that I have been brainwashed by the Westerners, and that I have no sense of patriotism at all is incorrect. I cannot emphasize enough to tell you how proud I am of being an Ethiopian. My graduate studies here in Toronto, Canada are only meant to gain a broad theological knowledge, and be familiar with the Western research methodology so as to present the unadulterated doctrinal tradition and exuberant liturgical beauty of our Mother Church, the Ethiopian Tewahedo, in a written work." This statement dispelled my legitimate fear and doubt that made me to think that you might be one of those members of the present Ethiopian generation who unfailingly fell victim to foreign brainwash and indoctrination. I pray your assertion would come to be true. What remains is, indeed, to wait to see for your word transformed into the sweet fruit of your deed. With the acknowledgement of your email and the above brief complimentary preamble, I found it appropriate to raise some significant points of interest and relevance in your aforementioned response that deserve clarification from my side, leaving the rest to your conscience and to the conscience of others.

1) As you see, I am not as swift as you proved yourself to be in responding to an email. I have witnessed that reality in your quick reaction even to my long email. As a candidate for clerical or for any of the theological professions, you may benefit from my experience in this regard. On my part, besides dealing with the unceasing flow of incoming emails that I need to answer to in their turns of priorities, and fulfilling various duties of our Services along with family responsibilities, I have other plausible reasons why I could not be as prompt in my reaction as you are. Realizing what is at stake, i.e., since my vocation and service involve the Divine Cause, I feel that I aught to be very cautious in what I think, say, write and do. To that end, I force myself to take my time in order to digest the case at issue, to meditate on it, and pray for the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit. I undertake this commitment deliberately not without a determining reason: It is for fear of being led astray into believing that I may solely and humanly feel knowledgeable and emotionally possessed and carried away on that subject, or of entertaining any personal intuition that would jeopardize the Divine Cause.

2) I will tell you why you had depicted my response, to quote from your writing, as presented "in a hair-splitting manner", and as a"whopping and abnormally lengthy 16-page email that was given as a reply to my only single-paged email". It is because you did not realize the Divine Truth whose warning I heed not to belittle what is the Divine. As explained above, for me there is nothing in the world that is greater and more serious than matters that concern God. My preoccupation is the optimum enlightenment and dissemination of the Word of God to my fellow humans regardless of their status and to the full extent. Also, do not think that I am responding only to you, or, for that matter only to others with whom I engage in email correspondences; but, more than that, I am using every opportunity of this kind to impart the Divine Knowledge with all those who truly seek and aspire to acquire that Enlightenment. Hence, I would not allow leaving an iota or gap of misunderstanding, discrepancy and/or vagueness in the Teaching and Message of the Divine Truth about Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God. It ought to be conveyed to intelligent as well as unintelligent persons in the most simple, unadulterated and unambiguous presentation possible. In the declared Service I am committed to, it remains my responsibility to discharge the ordinance of my Divine Sovereigns that the following Words of Our Divine Teacher portray: "Whoever therefore breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least in the Kingdom of Heaven; but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the Kingdom of Heaven. For I say to you, that unless your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the Kingdom of Heaven." (Mt. 5/19-20)

3) It is very unfortunate to witness that you make an attempt to evade, change or deny your word that you had expressly and emphatically stated in your previous email. Therein, you passed your personal judgment on all I said in those responses I gave to your two "spiritual brothers" by writing blatantly and audaciously that I had erred. That explicit personal judgment was the core of the spur for the whole contention in my response. While the substance of your email shows, in stark clarity, the main purpose of your writing was to lay blame on me with regard to the controversy, how can you respond now that "Hence, the email had no other purpose than forwarding my personal opinion regarding the unpleasant correspondence that you had with those two brothers." Is giving judgment, and a biased one as such, simply forwarding personal opinion? It is not, at least in my view.

4) For a Theological scholar and a spiritual personality who had the audacity to write that response, to add obsequious terms such as K'bur N'bure-Id, K'bur Hoy and Your Excellency that you used in addressing me therein renders the message of your email not only paradoxical and cynical, but also hypocritical and iniquitous. To show the paradox and the cynicism, the hypocrisy and the iniquity, it suffices to quote the following few sample phrases. "…you really felt that your honour was offended, …critique which offended your dignity and unprecedented pride, …claim that you are as infallible as the Roman Pope", and "What about the first person plural (we/egna) that you applied to yourself? Is that a subtle means of showing off your claim for a royal status as the last monarch of our beloved Ethiopia, H.I.M. Haile-Sillasie I, used to do? Which honour, which dignity, which pride, which infallibility, and which royalty were you speaking about and referring to in your above quoted email? Do you still consider me who humiliated himself to such degree of nothingness to be worthy of any of your respect or the esteem of others, as well as those worldly statuses? No. Indeed, there would be no cause or room for any person to undergo any kind of offence or annoyance, under such circumstances, let alone for me. How did you imagine and then articulate your imagination, alleging and concluding that I wrote those sixteen pages of email response, or, in your own word, that I" have exerted that amount of energy" just "in self defense" for those honour, dignity, infallibility, and royalty? Is it not a disappointment for your own conscience, and for any one who may come across this correspondence, to witness that all the amount of energy that I had exerted was reduced to worth merely such vain outcome of vilification from you? As a spiritual counsel, all my effort that I exerted was aimed solely to reveal to yourself, in the Power of the Divine Truth, your misguided intentions and deeds, in order to assist you to come to your senses, then confess your wrong-doings to God and finally to follow the Ethiopian Faith and Way of the Divine Ethiopian Life. Rather, to my surprise and puzzlement, it turned out to ignite your hidden anger and hate against me with such harsh and vindictive attitude. With regard to the use of the pronoun "igna/we", my colleagues and I always meant to refer to our co-servants of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God Services whenever we applied the same term of reference of "we". It is safe for me to believe that you surely understood this fact, as the designation had always been the normal practice, implicitly and explicitly stated, in all our email correspondences, herein in my response and elsewhere. However, since the sinister nature of your deliberate intention to raise the issue in the present context is obvious, it is unnecessary to expound anything more on the subject. This is simply to describe the actual state of the affair under consideration from the perspective of our Faith of the Holy Covenant. Otherwise, I hope you, as a Theological Scholar, is mindful of the Divine Truth that here, in the Domain of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, each one of us had already attained the status of a king or a queen, according to her/her gender, by the Grace of God acquired through the Sacrifice, Atonement and Redemption of Our Lord Jesus Christ, born of the Virgin Mary. (Rev. 20/4-7) Without attempting to explain anything further on this allegation and discrepancy, I simply and categorically reject your false gesture of respect. If you are prone and accustomed to doing it, you should not direct it towards me, but rather towards any of those hypocrites who crave for it, and whom you well know and behave accordingly. The following Word of God attests to this Divine Truth and sets rightly such human attitude and relationship in its proper context: "How can you believe, you, who receive honour from one another, and do not seek the honour that comes from the only God?" (Jn. 5/44)

5) Let me roughly translate verbatim, as follows, in Ethiopic as well as in English, your G'i'z maxim. The maxim that you had the temerity to quote in your email from "the wise saying of our Ethiopian traditional scholars" with the covert aim to discredit the significance of my presentation of my previous email reads as such. "Embiziha temahizotu yini'es mogesu, we'embiziha qalatihu yehasiriwo,". The Ethiopic rendering of the same is "Buwalt mabzat mennaq'n yasket'lal; neger mabzat'm kewrdet yadersal." and the English one is "Excessive silliness diminishes one's grace; and excessive verbosity demeans one's honour." Given that I have already responded to similar derogatory expressions in the foregoing paragraphs, I rather chose, here, to leave aside the implications of the terms "y'n'i's mogesu" and "yehass'r'wo" that targeted at my email response with the end result to inflict upon me some sort of humiliation. However, if you regarded all the Divine truths, testimonies and details, including the Words of God that I presented in my email response, as excessive silliness and excessive verbosity that brought about disgrace upon me, it constitutes something else that entail grave consequences. In addition to that, if responding to you in the Inspiration and Guidance of the Holy Spirit, as well as enlightening people in the Knowledge of God amount to "Temazho, Buwaltegnannet, or silliness" and "Negerawi, Negeregnannet, or verbosity", yes, this is utter blasphemy on The Holy Spirit. And you are liable to the Divine Condemnation for the premeditated commission of such sin, until and unless you repent, if you find any means (Mt. 12/31-37).

6) Look again how you resorted to another inconsistency! On one side, you bestowed upon me the highest rank of royalty, and on the other, you demean yourself to the lowest base of poverty. This reality is portrayed in your statements that depict yourself as a poor and fledgling student and me as a distinguished dignitary, which fact is reflected in phrases like "there is a huge gap between your esteemed personality and the ordinary personal status of mine," as compiled in your email. Here, you are advancing your own perception and advocating the status quo of the human perversion of the social stratum that created a class-oriented distinction among ourselves. This scenario diametrically negates the Teachings of the Divine Word that says, "You are all bretheren." As the Precepts of the Word of God prevail in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, we, who live under the Divine Kingdom and participate in this Service are all Children of God of equal status, treat one another only as brothers and sisters, and nothing else. (Mt. 23/8)

7) On the whole and with some specifics, you seem to be in disregard to such fundamental Teachings of the Word of God that were initially inscribed on our hearts, then transferred to us, Ethiopians, through the Holy Covenants, and finally became Incarnate, born of the Virgin Mary. Not only that, you seem to deviate from the right thinking, saying or writing, and acting in accordance with the Same. It appears, therefore, that the time has come for anyone, including your "spiritual brothers", and for me, from the Ethiopian perspective of the Holy Covenant, to question the genuineness as well as the type of your Theological acquirement. I hope your scholarship would not fall in the category of those so-called Jewish academics who posed as adversaries of Our Lord Jesus Christ to whom He retorted in the following Divine Words: "You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me. But you are not willing to come to Me that you may have life. I do not receive honour from men. But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you. I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, him you will receive. …Do not think that I shall accuse you to the Father; there is one who accuses you-Moses, in whom you trust. For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me; for he wrote about Me. But if you do not believe his writings, how will you believe My words?"(Jn. 5/39-47) I would like to conclude my note of clarification by taking each one of your two "spiritual brothers", Ato T'bebe-Iyesus and Ato Haile PeTros, as exemplary figure for the Repentant and the unrepentant human being respectively. Thus, I extend my earnest prayer that you will prove in no uncertain terms and in The Divine Truth to be the True Ethiopian by joining the former, and exalting yourself to the status of a Faithful Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God. Please inform us of the publication of your new book that constitutes your master's thesis, so that we will order for a copy.

Thank you for your email that conveyed, among other things, your worthy, constructive and open question with regard to Mah'bere-Q'ddusan.

1) I appreciate your expressed sentiment of sympathy for what my family and I are destined to bear. Yet, I would like you to know that we, who live and serve in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, as a result of the sweet fruit of our Ethiopian Faith and Worship in the Holy Covenant, are always enjoying the full Divine Life of Freedom, Contentment and Bliss wherever we are. As this is the kind of Life that Our God prepared for each and for all of us to lead, and which He expects us to render ourselves worthy of it, I wish and pray that you and others like you, as Ethiopians, would choose to attain it. Because of such Benevolence of Our Lord, we are in constant gratefulness for everything that God did in the past, is doing now, and will do in the future, not only to us, to our compatriots and to our country in particular, but also to humanity and to His Creation in general.

2) Your suggestion that contributes towards the improvement of our web site is commendable as usual. We simply used English in our responses to those emails we received in the same. However, occasionally, whenever there is the need, we send our replies, as an attachment, in a PDF document compiled in Ethiopic (our designation to Amharic). We are in the process of making the Q & A Forum of our web site available also in Ethiopic, in line with your suggestion.

3) As far as Mah'bere-Q'ddusan is concerned, we in this Service, laud the Association, of course with some reservation expressed previously elsewhere, for the mission it had embarked upon, and for the task it is undertaking in the implementation of the latter. With few essential and basic adjustments made, as hereunder mentioned, it is worthwhile that its current effort and strategy continue with the same enthusiasm and vigour. However, it should not accept its mission and task to remain confined to the limit where Ethiopia's adversaries had allocated it to be. It should extend to the Divine End that God had ordained for Ethiopia and Ethiopians from the beginning. That Divine End is the basic component that is uniquely missing from the present mission and task of the Association. This component, which needs to be, for Ethiopians, a primary theme of our life, involves the core of our Ethiopian Divine Identity that God bestowed upon us right at the time of Creation. To make the long account short and the broad exposition concise, the missing component is simply Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God in the Holy Covenant. Thus, what remains for Mah'bere Q'ddusan to fulfill now is to make this component its sole fundamental aspiration, its major pursuit and its ultimate goal of its mission and task. It is simple, but profound, as that. Indeed, such drastic measure requires, on the part of the leadership and the membership of Mah'bere-Q'ddusan, a decisive and positive action in The Divine Truth. It entails the need for the Association to discard the current perception it had adopted and disseminates about Ethiopia: A perception that is inherently based on the false premise and teachings of foreign elements like the Orthodoxy of the Greeks or Copts (Egyptians) vis-à-vis Ethiopia. It needs to abandon its subservient attitude for and alien inheritance of what is all foreign, and entirely shift its main concern and priorities to the vital interest of what is Ethiopian and beneficial to the Divine Ethiopia. As you may also believe, what God established, no one could and should attempt to destroy. We Ethiopians, as the Custodians of all that is Divine, should and could not collaborate with and serve as instruments to those adversaries of God in their destructive maneuvers aimed at Ethiopia and Ethiopians. To attain the Divine Goal that God had put in place for Ethiopia and Ethiopians from the time of Adam and Eve, Mah'bere Q'ddusan should sever all its overt and/or covert relationship with any entity, domestic or foreign, whose purpose and assignments are proved detrimental to what is Ethiopian. It is imperative that it ought to disassociate itself from this conspiracy, and engage itself in the pursuit and promotion of The Divine Truth about Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God. The Church of Ethiopia, designated as the House of the Priesthood, is one of the two integral parts of the Divine Kingdom, the other being the House of the Government. As such, and since there is no any other Church for Ethiopia, but only the Church of Ethiopia, the Association has to recognize and adopt this name alone: "The Church of Ethiopia". For, the Divine Truth affirms that the age of this Church, whose post-Christian theological doctrine is always Tewah'do, spans seven thousand five hundred years, thus going back to the prehistoric time of the Genesis. The Association, therefore, has to endorse and adhere to the Faith and Ordinances of this indigenous Ethiopian Church, as expressly stipulated in my books and in the literatures posted in the "Faith" Section of our web site. It is needless to reiterate, here and now, the fallacy of the present designation and historical status of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, to whom the Association is intimately affiliated, and whom it serves with dedication. As you know, this subject has been dealt with extensively and sufficiently in my books and in the materials posted in the various forums of our web site. The leadership of the Association as a group may decline to comply with this proposition and arrangement. However, in the likely event of such outcome, it is incumbent upon each member of the Association, individually or collectively, to declare his/her stance or the course of action he/she takes in this regard, since it involves one's own religious commitment to his/her God, Country and People. As you know, we are in an age of crossroads, in a critical stage of our existence, where each one of us is required to make a decisive choice, to either survive or perish. The choice is either for the Divine Good or for the evil, or, for the Divine Truth or for the falsehood. or, for the Divine Light or for the darkness, or, for the Divine Blessing or for the curse, or, the Everlasting Divine Life or for the eternal death. Finally, the choice for Ethiopians is either for Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God under the Leadership of the Priestly King Jesus Christ and the Motherly Queen Virgin Mary, or for a nation that languishes under the regime of the Devil. In our Ethiopian relationship with God that amounts to our Ethiopian Faith of the Holy Covenant, there is no middle ground or double standard, such as the present Ethiopian generation in general, and the so-called Ethiopian Orthodox Tewah'do Church and Mah'bere-Q'ddusan in particular, are implicated in. Every Ethiopian, male or female, young or old, must decide now, today, at this instant, which of the two extremes to choose: On the Right Extreme are The Incarnate God and His Holy Mother personified in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God; and on the left extreme, is the Devil. On our part, we, as Servants of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God had already made our choice public from the beginning. Now, it is for each one of you, who claim to be Ethiopians, and who are involved in the leadership and in the membership of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewah'do Church or Mah'bere Q'ddusan or any other organizational body within the living Ethiopian generation, to make your individual choice publicly in accordance with the Word of God that never ceased to sound its voice: "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in Heaven. But whoever denies Me before men, him I will also deny before My Father who is in Heaven." (Mt. 10/32-33)

1) I am really impressed by your activities to save Ethiopia and Ethiopians. How will I be able to participate in your Services. I read most of your books. And I really felt that God send you to our generation. If it is God's Will, I wish to talk to you when you come back to Ethiopia.

2) I really appreciate your effort in making Ethiopiawinnet come true. I have a strong desire to talk to you physically, since I have a lot of issues to discuss with you, if possible of course. I think, at this particular time, our Church needs a father who is determined, convincing and knowledgeable like you. Please allow me to have your home address in Addis.

Our Response:-

Thank you for your email of kind and encouraging words. I am glad that you read most of my books. We appreciate and admire the will you expressed to participate in our services to Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God. At present, this is the service that Our God The Holy Spirit and Our Holy Mother Country Ethiopia expect from each one of us to render to their Kingdom, as well as our compatriots require of us. It is to bring ourselves first to the awareness and recognition of our Ethiopian Identity of the Holy Covenant, then to its attainment, and finally to serve Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, just as you had offered yourself now for the fulfillment of the same. We hail you for such achievement. Until there comes further call and notice for each one of us from The Holy Spirit what to do next, this is what you need to do. Stay where you are by retaining whatever you had accomplished so far with regard to your Ethiopianness of the Holy Covenant. Fortify your religious and spiritual accomplishments by continuous prayers and fasting, readings and meditations. Maintain your Ethiopian Faith of the Holy Covenant by fulfilling your commitments in deeds, and by disseminating to others, members of your families, relatives, neighbors, friends and co-workers, the Divine Knowledge that you had acquired for yourself, as well as by urging them to read our books and to visit our web site. I hope you had already made your testimony of your Ethiopian Faith of the Holy Covenant by now. This is the testimony that each one of us conduct of our own will and by our own self while standing and prostrating in the Divine Truth and The Holy Spirit, in front of Our Lord God Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother The Virgin Mary. At the end of this ceremony, we tie around our neck the Seal, i.e., the MATEB (the symbolic sacred filament made of the tricolors of the Ethiopian flag). If you did not fulfill this commitment, you need to do it now. The procedure is found in our publication, entitled, "Ethiopia and Ethiopiawinnet". Yes, God Willing, I will be happy to speak to you upon my return to Ethiopia, as you wished it. God Bless You!

Our Response:-

 

Thank you for visiting our web site and for your email that carries devout questions, as well as for your complimentary title you bestowed upon my vocation, which I do not personally dare claim to deserve. Prior to proceeding to my response to your question, I want to make sure that you know distinctly about us, viz. who we are and whom we serve: We are, and in service, as well as speak on behalf of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God alone. Our Church of Ethiopia, with Her proper designation of the House of the Priesthood (Bete-K'h'net), is one of the two integral parts of the Divine Kingdom that stemmed out from the House of the People (Bete-H'zb), the other integral part being the House of the Government (Bete-M'lk'nna). We, in this Service, are not and do not serve or speak on behalf of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, as such. For, this Church is neither Ethiopian nor does it represent the Church of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God. We recognize the former, viz. the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, as the Coptic (Egyptian) Church in Ethiopia, just as we recognize the so-called Ethiopian Catholic Church or Ethiopian Evangelical Church, etc. as the Catholic, or Evangelical Church in Ethiopia. So, whenever we speak about the Church of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, we are dealing with a tradition of 7,500 years of age, not of 1,600 years, which is the time the Egyptians (the Copts) claim to have established the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, viz. in the 4th century A.D. and which claim the latter submissively accepted. Based on the above Divine Premises and the Divine Truth of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, the Theological Stance of the Church of Ethiopia with regard to the (Assumption) Resurrection and Ascension of the Holy Virgin Mary is as follows: When the Holy Virgin Mary's Saintly Soul in the Holy Spirit departed from Her Saintly Body in the Holy Spirit on the 21st Day of the Month of T'rr (January 30), Her Soul, on one hand, accompanied by the Angelic Hosts, directly went to, entered into and rested in the Earthly Paradise with the Spiritual Bliss. On the other hand, Her Saintly Body in the Holy Spirit, while It was being carried and taken by the Apostles for Burial to the Sacred Sepulcher, an incident, of similar characteristics with that of Her Son's Day of Crucifixion, took place on the same day of Her Passing. A recurrence of the hostility and brutality, instigated and executed on Her Son by His adversaries, also, ominously reappeared in reality on this occasion. The contemporaneous Jews attempted a violent confrontation against Her Holy Casket. However, this time, the Divine Grace, attained by the Atonement and Redemption of Jesus Christ that resulted in the Bestowal of the Power of the Holy Spirit, vanquished them. After the discharge of the appropriate chastisement on those perpetrators of the blasphemous act, the Angelic Hosts transported Her Saintly Body in the Holy Spirit to the Earthly Paradise with Blissful Grandeur. The Evangelist John alone witnessed this phenomenon. There, in the Earthly Paradise, both Her Soul and Body in the Holy Spirit, remained as Lively as they were, in the same manner as Her Son's Body in the Tomb stayed and His Soul went to preach the Gospel to those in the Hades until His Soul and Body reunited in Resurrection. Such was the Blissful Status of Her Soul and Body until the period of the Apostles' two Sabbatical Seclusions of Prayer and Fasting on Earth that lasted from 1st to 14th of Nehassie came to an end. On the Last Day of the Apostles' Devotional Confinement for the recovery of Her Body, viz. the 14th Day of the Month of Nehassie (August 20th), which fell on Sunday, and in answer to their supplication, the Angelic Hosts brought and delivered Her Body in the Holy Spirit unscathed, fresh, and warm to the Apostles, who, with great rejoice, buried It on the same day. On the Third Day, which was Tuesday, viz. the 16th Day of the Month of Nehassie (August 22th), just in the same pattern that happened to Her Son, Her Soul in the Holy Spirit, with the same company of Angelic Hosts, came to Her Body in the Holy Spirit that lay in the Holy Sepulcher. Thus, Both Her Soul and Body United in the Holy Spirit, and Resurrected in the Same Prototype Way and in the Resurrected Body of Her Resurrected Incarnate Son Jesus Christ. On the 40th Day, that fell on the 21st Day of the Month of Meskerem (October 2nd), following the exact duration, She, The Resurrected Mother of God, The Holy Virgin Mary, Ascended, just in the Same Pattern as that of Her Son, to Heavens. There, She is seated, as the Eternal Motherly Queen of Heavens and Earth, on Her Throne where Her Son, preceding Her, is seated as the Eternal Priestly King of Heavens and Earth, Both of Whom Reign as Divine Sovereigns of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God. Thus, She remains there until She Returns with Her Son in His Glory of Trinity for the Final Day of Eternal Judgment. In this Divine and Heavenly Glory of Resurrection and Ascension, The Holy Virgin Mary, The Mother of God stands out as the Unique Perfect Human Being, Only Second to None, but Her Son, The Incarnate God. This Divine Reality of The Mother of God being entitled to become Second to Her Son The Incarnate God in the Heavenly Phenomenon of Resurrection and Ascension is, in every respect, whether angelically or humanly conceived, is definitely logical and legitimate, beyond any reasonable doubt. (Rev. 11/15-19; 12/1-17.)

_____________________

We have received your recent successive emails. Our detailed answers to your questions will follow in due course. They are pending until our heavy schedule permits us to deal with them at the appropriate time of their turn.

_______________________

Honourable Father, I don't want to take advantage of your generosity, and it's not my intention to disturb you. But your great knowledge is for me a vital source of information and spiritual comfort. So, I would ask you some other important questions concerning the Ethiopian faith. If you won't have time to give an answer, I will understand.

1) Did Holy Mariam receive the original sin? What do you think about the catholic dogma of the "Immaculate Conception"?

2) At the end of time, I know that this world will be destroyed by God, and Seol and Gennet will be abolished: in fact, these are terrestrial kingdoms. Then, the just will go to the Heaven, and the wicked to Hell (Gahannam), which are spiritual, non-terrestrial Kingdom. Is my idea right? And if it was right, where would the spiritual Hell be placed? Is it a "part" of the Heaven?

3) How do you calculate the day of Easter (Fasika)? Do you celebrate it on the 14th of Nisan, as the Jews? I'm very confused about this point, considering that the Council of Nicaea forbade such a practice. I give thanks to Yesus Chrestos, First, Who is able to inspire and guide your wise soul; and I thank you, deeply, for the great services you are doing to those who love Ethiopia and believe that it is the Real Kingdom of Christ.

Our Response:-

 

Thank you for your patience, and for your understanding of our busy schedule that caused the overdue delay of our response. I appreciate the kind words of gratefulness you offered to Our Lord Iyyesus Krstos for the Graciousness of His Holy Spirit in inspiring and guiding us in the service we are rendering within His Divine Kingdom of Ethiopia. Let me answer your questions in their sequence:

1) We, in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, believe that there is no "original sin" as such for anyone to inherit from his/her parents. It is a phenomenon which every human being acquires later in the process of his/her individual life, i.e., at maturity, by the inherent attainment of one's own will-power of making his/her CHOICE. The conventional belief that the infamous action of Adam and Eve that culminated in their eating of the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil rendered every individual human being liable to the inheritance of the original sin is utterly unacceptable in our Faith of the Holy Covenant. According to such conventional belief, The Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of God, as the offspring of Adam and Eve, could be regarded to have inherited the original sin as any ordinary human being, through Her natural birth from Her Parents, Iyaqem (Joakim) and Hanna (Anne) who are descendents of the seeds and the chain of abnormal and illicit relationships of eminent sinners and gentiles like Judah and Tamar, Salmon and Rahab, Boaz and Ruth, and David who married BethSheba, wife of Uriah, to beget Solomon who, from the Ethiopian Virgin Queen Makk'dda, begot Menelik, the Grandparent of The Virgin Mary. The Divine Truth is that the above critical option taken by the First Parents, contrary to the conventional belief and to the benefit of the human nature, raised the exalted status of the Divine Image of the latter to the perfect fullness of Divinity by expanding his/her capacity of the Divine Power to the extent of possessing the Divine Knowledge, not only of the Good, but also of the Evil. This attainment of the human nature of the Divine Status signified simply the elevation of the human nature to such stage where he/she is empowered to discern both the Good and the Evil, just like God does, as well as to make the CHOICE of adhering to one of the two alternatives. It did not constitute or imply in any sense as committing a sin, as it had never been in the case of God Himself. The concept of "original sin" is, thus, made null and void, merely on this premise. Hence, the decisive and significant factor in this and all aspects of creation that rendered The Virgin Mary a unique human being, particularly among the female gender, is simply the CHOICE She had made that no other person of Her kind, from the time of Adam and Eve until Her emergence, ever attempted to attain: The CHOICE of making oneself Divine, rather than Evil. (On the male gender side Abel, Henok and EthioPis, the Primary Melke-Tsedeq, the Archetype of the Final and the Everlasting Melke-Tsedeq, Jesus Christ, and who received the Sacred Heritage from Noah, and the Intermediary Melke-Tsedeq, who blessed Abraham, could be cited.) The praise expressed by the Arch-Angel Saint Gabriel in his Annunciation to The Virgin Mary such as "Blessed are you among women!" attests to this Divine Truth. (Lk. 1/28) Let me elaborate on this vital issue. You certainly know and believe, as is written in the Scriptures, that God had created every human person, including you and me, in His Image of Divinity. Such Wonder of Creation that emerged in human beings in Divinity began to develop from the original, then proceeded into the intermediate, and finally culminated unto the Perfect Completeness of the Everlasting Present. The enhancement of this phenomenon was Divinely set off and revealed in the first, the second and the third stages, as briefly explained hereunder:

i) The first stage of Human Divinity, of course, was realized when Adam and Eve were created in the Image of God, and confined only in the Divine Realm of Goodness, as attested in Scriptures that says, "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." (Gen. 1/27.) The progeny of this stage continued its survival through the recurrence of the procreation and the life that span from conception to birth and up to the age of adolescence of each one of us, whereby only the Good dominates every aspect of our lives.

ii) The second stage of Human Divinity occurred when our primal ancestors ate the forbidden fruit of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. This was the epoch when they were both proclaimed by God to attain Fullness of Divinity, as attested in Scriptures that says, "Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like One of Us, to know good and evil. And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever, therefore, the LORD God sent him out of the Garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken." (Gen. 3/22-23). The progeny of this stage continued its survival through the recurrence of the attainment of adulthood. It is at this stage whereby the knowledge of Good and Evil transcends, the will and the choice to commit either of the two prevails, and the capability to decisively execute the preference avails itself, in the life that span from adulthood to old age and death of each one of us.

iii) The third stage of Human Divinity culminated when the human person is baptized in the Names of the Divine Father, the Divine Son and the Divine Holy Spirit, One God, at which time his/her original sin, if there is any, is absolved, and partakes the Holy Communion, the Tree of Life, acquired through the sacrifice, atonement and Redemption of Jesus Christ. By performing such Acts of Faith, each one of us becomes Eternal and Divine Son and Daughter of God, Priest and Priestess, King and Queen. Such status is attained over and above the Divinity each one of us already possessed originally in the first stage, but which we rejected and lost of our own will and choice in the second stage, in preference to the evil. The Body of Our Lord crucified on the Cross and the Blood shed thereon purified, restored and affirmed the third and final stage that is ultimately maintained and eternalized for the Life of Divinity in Sanctity. This is attested in Scriptures that says, in fulfillment of "And now, lest he put out his hand and take also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever," Our Lord Jesus Christ declared that "This is the Bread which comes down from Heaven, that one may eat of It and not die. I am the Living Bread which came down from Heaven. If anyone eats of this Bread, he will live forever; and the Bread that I shall give is My Flesh, which I shall give for the Life of the world." "And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, "All authority has been given to Me in Heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age."… "But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become Children of God, to those who believe in His name: who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man and woman, but of God." "Jesus answered, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the Kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." (Gen. 3/22-23; Mt. 28/18-20; Jn. 1/12-13; Jn.3/5-6.) The progeny of this stage continued their survival for the last two millenniums of the Era of the Covenant of Mercy. This was acquired by The Incarnate God Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Mother of God The Virgin Mary, through the recurrence of the attainment of Divine Childhood, Citizenship, Priesthood and Royalty in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God of the Holy Covenant, the Life of God where evil, sin and death non-exist. The above brief presentation is the revelation of The Divine Truth with regard to the identity of the individual human who is personified as the Ethiopian. The latter, in the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, remained for millenniums on end and to this day, as the intelligent creature who acquired his/her knowledge, teaching and belief of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God directly and inherently from his/her Divine Creator, Provider, Protector and Redeemer. Now, as such, and according to the above stipulations of The Divine Truth that the Word of God expressly provided, every human being, including you and I, is the Image and One of Him, as well as Son/Daughter of God. Yes, God wanted each one of us to be, live and act like Him, no question about that. If you and I choose, of our own will, to know and accept in Faith this Divine Gift and Truth, you and I can think, speak or write, and act and live like God, just as Adam and Eve did in their preference to the Evil. For someone to attain such spiritual transcendence, it is as simple as doing anything ordinary that worth personal preference. Accordingly, if a human being, like you and me, of his/her free will and choice, resolves, on the one hand, to promote himself/herself into becoming an angel, and then to think and speak, act and live as such, he/she surely can. Or, on the other hand, if the latter resolves, in the same manner, to remain a bare human, or to demote himself/herself into becoming an animal, a beast, Satan, or even worse than the Devil, and then to think and speak, act and live as such, yes, he/she can. However, regrettably and surprisingly, the intransigent tendency of all human beings, right from the beginning, viz., from Adam and Eve, became manifest in exclusively following suit of the evil path of their predecessors. This is, of course, with the exception of a handful of hopefuls with whom God made Transitory Covenants. Such condition of human misery remained a status quo up until the Advent of The Holy Virgin Mary Who bore God The Son, The Lord Jesus Christ. At the End of Time, The Virgin Mary uniquely and unequivocally refused to succumb to the will of the flesh, and to let Herself fall victim of the usual evil tendency, that retraced the same track upon which all humans, particularly the female gender, treaded in the direction of the domain where the Devil rules, Sin prevails and Death dominates. The Virgin Mary, being immaculate, if not in Her physical body and human nature, but in Her Love and Faith of The Divine Truth, vigorously desired and totally resolved, to choose and commit Herself into becoming completely the Divine Image of God, to learn from Him and acquire His Knowledge. She totally rejected the human or the evil one unlike Her kinds from the time of Adam and Eve to Her Day were entirely inclined and determined to make their preferences. To achieve this end, of course, She exercised Her enhanced triune Divine Powers that were inherent in the human nature bestowed by the Benevolence of God, as explained above. These Sacred Virtues are the Knowledge of Good and Evil, and the Willpower to reject the Evil in favour of the Good, finally the utilization of the capability to execute the preference She decided upon. By electing and using the nature of Her Divinity, the Holy Virgin Mary was capable of rendering Herself Immaculate of the original sin, if there is any, and of any blemish, thus of becoming Mother of God, through the Cleansing Power of the Holy Spirit. This phenomenon materialized within the process of God's creation of Her human person and nature at Her Conception in Her Mother's womb that began in the possession of His Image and culminated in Her being of the enhanced Divine Status, which came about by means of those gradual developments of the three stages explained above. Be mindful that the attainment of the last stage in Her unique pre-Redemption case was undertaken by the work of the Holy Spirit Himself. Yet, the reaction of humans for such extraordinary benevolent gift of God proved to be contrary to the Divine Will, as was evidenced by the choice and act of Adam and Eve who preferred the evil guidelines, teaching and knowledge offered to them by the adversary of God rather than that offered to them by God their Creator Himself earlier. Ever since then, the general tendency of humans remained the same as their predecessors throughout the ages, up until the Conception and Birth of The Virgin Mary, and even to the present. This is, of course, with the exception of the Ethiopians who learn only from God through their inherent creation of Divinity and live accordingly in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God. While the rest of humanity elected to take that evil course of action and survival, only Ethiopians of the Holy Covenant, from the time of the repentant Adam and Eve, decisively preferred to lead the Divine Ordinance of the privileged Life. They continued to adhere to that preference through those singular personalities of the Faith of the Holy Covenant until the Advent of The Virgin Mary, the Ethiopian, and the Birth of The Incarnate God Jesus Christ from Her. Based on the premises of the foregoing Divine Truth, we do not accept the Catholic Dogma of the "Immaculate Conception". For anyone who may tend to consider this Dogma, it is inevitable that certain serious and concomitant questions will ensue in his/her curious mind. These are, such as: Why did the Gracious and Merciful God waited, according to our computation, for 5, 500 years to effect the Divine Benevolence that God bestowed and revealed upon The Virgin Mary on any one of the female human beings who were born after Eve up until the former? And why did He simply prefer to see humanity fall into the crushing yoke of the reign of the Devil and allow His Creature in His Image to languish in and endure the unbearable misery under such condition for so long?

2) Your question that reads "Is my idea 'At the end of time, I know that this world will be destroyed by God, and Seol and Gennet will be abolished: in fact, these are terrestrial kingdoms. Then, the just will go to the Heaven, and the wicked to Hell (Gahannam), which are spiritual, non-terrestrial Kingdoms right?" is basically in accordance with the tenets of our Faith. The Spiritual Hell is placed separately in the Spiritual Realm of Heavens, just as Seol is placed in the terrestrial world along with Gennet. As all Creation is owned only by its Creator God, so also is the Dominion of Creation under His Possession. There exists nothing outside His Control. There is no other Kingdom, but that of God alone. God has made no partnership of His Creation, or of His Kingdom with any adversary of Him, angelic or human, i.e., the Devil and/or his henchmen. There is only SEPARATION between Heavens and Hell within the Eternal Dominion of God' Creation. (Luke 16/19-31)

3) The computation of our Calendar, comprising Fasting Periods and Holidays, is based on the age-old Ethiopian system that starts the new year on Meskerem 1 (September 12). Our current standing precept that complies with the Canon of the Council of Nicaea in this regard proscribes Easter, viz. TNSA'E (Fasika) to be celebrated on the 14th of the Jewish month of Nisan. We always celebrate the Week of Passion and the Feast of the Resurrection only on a different week other than that of the Jewish in which their Passover falls.

Our Response:-

 

I am glad to hear from you, after a long while, that you are blessed with a son who was longed with great expectation before he was born. Now, to witness that you are in search of a meaningful name for him is gratifying. Once again, I congradulate you, both parents. In accordance with our Ethiopian Tradition, it is appropriate and legitimate that you, as parent, should give an expressive name of your liking to your son. That is why we, Ethiopians, cite a maxim that our predecessors say "S'm'n Mel'ak yaweTawal!". This is interpreted to mean that the name parents give to their offspring reflects on one side what God speaks through the deep sentiment of parents, and on the other what parents convey the same to God, to themselves and to their fellow humans. So, the name of your choice, Armah, who is remembered as one of our illustrious and magnanimous Atsies, and who rightly personified Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God in his momentous deeds, is commendable. The name also connotes sending a message of special relevance and expediency of the present national and international situation to the contemporary generation that exist at the birth of your son. Even, if you still go ahead looking for another better name, as long as it appeals to your spiritual mind and heart, in the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, do not refrain from considering and accepting it as if it serves your purpose.

Before I write you the answers to all your questions and conclusions presented in both your aforementioned emails, I want you to tell me more about: 1) Your view of the first email in which you said, "You resemble for me as racim (Zeregna)." What do you mean by that statement? Why and in what connection did you mention the Scriptural incident of the encounter of Our Lord with the Samaritan woman by writing "You see Christ didn't make such kind of thing as we can see from Bible when He have been making a dialogue with the Samrawit girl?" 2) The hordes of symbols and numbers that filled the pages of your second email. Please provide me with the replies of both these queryies, and explain to me as much as you can so that I understand your opinion satisfactorily. Fifth E-mail from Welde S.: Hi! How well of you. The first email just emanate from your view regarding different issues that you replied to different bodies. The second is since it was written in Amharic it is expected from you to have power gee'ze and read it. Sorry for the inconvenience; and I never expect from you such kind of reply, although my question is clear. Bye! The so-called "Nibure-Id" Our Response to the Fifth E-mail: I gather, from your name and email address, that you are the same person who complained to have suffered from the sinful act of masturbation, and called for help that would bring him out of the anguish that engulfed him, and whom I tried to rescue with the aid of God. If this is true, and as one could easily deduce from the successive series of your recent negative emails you sent to me that you do not seem to prefer cooperation with us in searching and finding for the Divine Truth, I have no option but to give you my final response, as follows:

1). Your mention of "racism" or "zeregnannet" in connection with our Services or messages is reckless and worthless. This is because, even its concept, let alone the practice is non-existent in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God, or in our Services. I do not understand how and why you brought it up, in the first place. Either you know or read nothing about us, or you have an evil attitude towards us. In fact, our Ethiopian Faith of the Holy Covenant abhors and opposes racism. The reunification and the unity of all the races of humanity ordained by God are the core of our Ethiopian Faith of the Holy Covenant. Our ancestor, ItioPis, who became the First Melke-Tsedeq, and from whom the name Ethiopia derived, was the one who brought about this reunification and unity. He was born from the Seeds of Shem, Ham and Japheth, the three sons of Noah, thus reuniting humanity who otherwise partitioned and disintegrated into different races and ethnic groups, creating hatred and hostilities among peoples of the world, even to the present. Our Lord Jesus Christ born from the Ethiopian Holy Mother, The Virgin Mary, confirmed the Authenticity, Sanctity and Eternity of this reunification and unity. Today, the Ethiopian is the personification of this Divine Truth and Reality.

2) If you feel, you belong to or are follower of the Coptic (Egyptian) Orthodox Church in Ethiopia, (as this should be the correct name of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewah'do Church), why did you come to us, i.e., to Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God Services, for help in the first place. You should have gone to your own clergy with your physical, mental and spiritual anguish of masturbation. You surely admit that you were the one who came to us and requested for help. We did our best to help you, and we certainly helped you in the Word of God and in the Holy Spirit by providing you the unique and the perfect solution. Under such circumstances, anyone would wonder, and still I am wondering, what made you to change your mind lately, so immediately, and drastically into evil temper, reflecting your express and conspicuous anger against me in the tone of your email. Let me tell you, in the inspiration and guidance of the Holy Spirit, the reason why your mood changed and you became belligerent towards me: It is not your human self alone that behaved and acted as such. It was because of the Evil Spirit that took control of you, and which was trying to take complete possession of your entire person. According to the Word of God written in Roman Chapter Seven and your confession, this was what happened: First, the Devil enticed you, mentally and through your flesh, to the temptation and commission of the lust of masturbation. Through my priestly counsel, you began to resist and refrain from committing the sin. However, this move alarmed the Devil, and made him to coerce you with his relentless force to continue with your sinful act. By then, you returned to me for further counseling. Those Words of Our Lord Jesus Christ that I communicated to you for your enlightenment invoked the Grace and Power of the Holy Spirit to come to your rescue. This enhanced situation in your favor, proved to be a threat to the Devil. Now, he realized that his influence on you was going to fade away with the possibility of himself being not only rendered powerless from tormenting you, but also exterminated from your physical body and mental soul. Hence, he became furious. At this point, it was for you to stand firm in your Faith and in your Commitment to your prayer of Repentance and pleading your Lord God Jesus Christ with the intercession of The Holy Mother The Virgin Mary, for His Mercy on the seven times seventy a day confession basis. Had you done so, you would have won the battle against the Devil. Rather than challenging him to the last, you retreated from the confrontation, and to my disappointment, you succumbed to his vain influence he maintained and exerted on you so far.

3) Through such crucial blunder and failure you made, it seems you chose, of your own free will, to be the abode of the Devil, instead of being the Temple of God The Holy Spirit; you preferred to be the servant of the Devil, rather than remain the son of God in the Holy Spirit. Even at the initiation of our email correspondence, the Devil knew who was after him; it was not you, but me. He knew that I was resolutely in pursuit of him. So, you see, the Evil Spirit in you directed its extreme fury and profound envy that it sustained not really against me, but more significantly against Our Lord Jesus Christ. Why? It is because, the Incarnate God was the One who sacrificed Himself for the sake of the sinful humanity, Whose Atonement and Redemption saved the world, and Whose Covenant of Mercy assured the unlimited absolution He granted to all sinners who submit to genuine penitence. This is The Divine Truth that triggered the fury and the envy of the Devil in you. Look, the outcome of our effort that we, in this Service, applied in the Name, Faith and Word of God for your wellbeing. You can easily see it with your own eyes, because it is in store for us on your side: For such helpful deed, what you reciprocated to us is ingratitude, rather than appreciation; hatred, rather than love; revenge, rather than reward. You even did not thank God for what He had done for you. Whereas, on our side, we thank God The Holy Spirit for reminding and leading you to contact us, for allowing us to serve you in the Divine Truth, Knowledge and Love, and to tell you still frankly and affectionately all the evil and the manipulation that the Adversary of God is utilizing on your person. This episode could not be new to us; we always expect it, because Our Lord Jesus Christ foretold us about it, while He Himself endured it. In this regard, I do not need to tell you how and what His contemporary generation of the Jews recompensed Him for all the multitude of Goodness He thought, spoke and did to them? Yes, the people, the clergy and the authorities collaborated not only to reject or even to leave Him alone, but went to the extent of crucifying and slaying Him. So, no wonder that you did this outrageous deed to us.

4) Now, I hope you will recognize who is on the right track, and who is on the wrong track. The right track is the One that is of the Holy Spirit, which we in Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God proclaim in the open daylight, and follow throughout our lives. The wrong track is the one that is of the evil spirit, which you and your likes in your so-called Coptic Orthodox Church in Ethiopia whisper of backbiting in darkness of the night, all throughout your lives. If this is the case, who are you to make judgment by saying, "whether you believe or not you are not on the right track".

5) Fortunately, for you and your likes, all our books and publications posted on our web site dealt in details with each issue aforementioned. Unfortunately, your problem seems to be your own accustomed disinterest to read any literature let alone those books I suggested to you. As a result, you remain ignorant of everything and victim of hearsay. If you were a good reader, you would have been knowledgeable of many good things about Divine Ethiopia, and would have not needed to send me most of your email questions. As all those books are, with the exception of only one that is in English, composed in Ethiopic (Amharic), I am sure you will understand the messages therein without any difficulty. So, if there is any question that you put forward in your latest emails and is pending answer, including the one you asked as where from I received my title of "the so-called N'bure-Id", you may either go or write to your own priests of your Church, or read the books that are posted on our web site.

6) Enclosed, you will find an attachment, in adobe PDF, of the image of the email you sent me on 1/24/2008. As you see, it does not seem to be from some one who is inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit, but only from some one who is instigated by the spirit of the Adversary. My computer does not have the power gee'ze software. If you so desire, you may print your letter in the power geeze font, or have it handwritten, and mail it to me through our postal addresses of P. O. Box 812, Addis Abeba, Ethiopia or P. O. Box 43262, Washington DC, 20010 USA. 7) Please review the literary, spelling and contradictory composition of the statement of your last email that reads, "sorry for the inconviniencee.and i never excpect from you such kind of reply, although my question is clear."

N'bure-Id Ermias Kebbede Welde-Iyyesus, Servant of Ethiopia: The Kingdom of God
