Does anyone here practice the original Ethiopian form of Christianity?

Orthodox Church probably follows a bible that is longer, before books were edited out.
True
I'm interested in it from the "Academic" perspective of observing a brand of Christianity free of later cac baggage.
Think of physics class when doing vector forces...
....once you know/theorize what happens free of one particular force you can better understand what the other forces are doing.

In this case you are better able to understand what Christianity can be free of alot of the roman Catholic / Protestant baggage.
Let's see how many "Christianity started in Africa!" parroters come in this thread to affirm your question.

This is a great question. Given the numbers of replies, you might as well posted this in the Root.

Books weren't edited out. They accepted books/writings that Western Christians didn't, but the whole 'You must use ONLY these books to be considered a true Christian' is a false narrative that is actually falsified within the text, itself. A bunch of Western Christians, for example, considered Enoch canonical.
Books didn't really matter, theological reasoning did.

Elaborate on that last part. Also do you practice ?Books weren't edited out.

Just look into the Arian controversy. The problem with him was his theological reasoning as he believed that the 'Son' was not 'eternal' in the past with the 'Father'. That is what lead to the Council of Nicea. Had nothing to do with which books he or anyone else considered 'canonical'.
No, I don't practice. The majority of my family are Baptists.

Which bible do Orthodox Ethiopian Christians tend to follow?

I think the Orthodox Church also denied the Council of Chalcedon which means that they do not agree that Jesus is both God and Human at the same time.
