I have opened this topic for Jude 1:3 to tell us more. Here is short snippet I found on Oriental, "The primary theological difference between the two communions is the differing Christology. Oriental Orthodoxy rejects the Chalcedonian Definition, and instead adopts the Miaphysite formula, believing that the human and divine natures of Christ are united. Historically, the early prelates of the Oriental Orthodox churches thought that the Chalcedonian Definition implied a possible repudiation of the Trinity or a concession to Nestorianism." (Wikipedia). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's some info that I posted about The Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church : The Ethiopians had ties to Judaism through Queen Sheba and King Solomon.(1 Kings 10) The first Ethiopian Christian is recorded in Acts 8:26-38 when the Ethiopian Eunuch is baptized by Phillip. According to Wikipedia they were administratively part of the Coptic Orthodox Church of Alexandria from the first half of the 4th century until 1959. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oriental_Orthodoxy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethiopian_Orthodox_Tewahedo_Church http://www.ethiopianorthodox.org/english/canonical/books.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I genuinely believe that this is why they have 1 Enoch as part of their Canon of Scriptures because they have a Pre Christian Connection to Judaism and The Temple through Queen Sheba and also the Eunuch in Acts 8. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I have an interest in Church history, is am really only beginning to learn more about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
