Ethiopian Christianity is not older than Catholicism (if by that you mean the Roman Church,) and it actually comes from Greek Christianity. It was introduced into Ethiopia by a Greek man, and was an offshoot of the original Greek Church (which is the real oldest Christian sect.)

And your ancestors and everyone else not in East Africa was converted by Europeans, too.

Not a very good telling of history there, friend.
Christianity has been found in Ethiopia as early as 1 AD. The angelic teachings of christ were not legalized in Rome until 4 AD. I think you should fall back a tad there. There are many important figures but the work of this great man and Savior of humanity were making waves before an official church was established. Initially, the streets were the tabernacles for the Lords word.
many individuals of European descent like to lay claim to starting Christianity in ethopia but ethopians themselves have a different account of a eunuch who was baptized and returned to ethopiea to spread the good word. Its a matter of what you choose to believe in and i guess Google has taught you incorrectly.
Christ is here to save everyone, even europeans. Even you, if you, you know, want to be saved and stuff.

Nice try, friend, but no, it hasn't. In 1 AD, Christianity barely existed even in Jerusalem. You're conflating two things- "legalization" and Christian presence, but it doesn't matter, because Europeans had both first.
Christians were in the Hellenic world and Rome before they were in Ethiopia. Even the word "Christian" was first used by Europeans in Antioch. Christianity was introduced to Ethiopia by a Greek man, and that's why Ethiopian Christianity is clearly an offshoot of the old Greek Church. Christianity was only "legalized" in Ethiopia after 330AD.
The first Christian state was actually Armenia, another European country.
No matter how you look at it, African Christianity comes from a European tradition. Your ancestors were converted by Catholics, anyway, so all this talk of the Ethiopian Church isn't relevant to you, friend.

the one community of Christians in sub-Saharan Africa which is not the product of European missionary work, but can document its foundation prior to any European countries.

Armenians like to make the claim they were the first christian nation but this is debatable among many Ethiopian scholars. I think you should do more Google research on the Ethopian eunuch that was baptized shortly after the death of Christ and went back to ethiopia to preach the good word. Again, your account is debateable and that is Armenias account of what happened.

Some friends like to paint pictures for agendas and dont really like to understand the truth. Once they find words that link to their personal feelings, they stop their research. Its sad, that self proclaimed intellectuals in KTL are like this. Even when they're wrong they stick to their position because they cant admit, they're wrong. Hopefully this changes, God willing.
What you say is true. Armenians expect friends to believe them because of an oral account but i feel Ethiopians have more concrete evidence backing their claims. Its cool though. Everyone likes to be the first. Whats more important though, is that we are all saved.

We kind of got off topic there re-educating TheReal. Theres nothing traditional about gay weddings in Africa. South Africa needs leadership if they're openly celebrating this nonsense.

Yes, we all know about that, but he never started a Church, and his influence did not effect Ethiopian Christianity, which, as I said, was established by a Greek man as an offshoot of the Greek Church.
Ethiopia legalized Christianity in 330AD. Armenia adopted it much before that. Everyone wants to be first, but we have to rely on the historical records we have and not wishful thinking, friend.
I'm sure your after the Portugese converted your ancestors, they made up stories about being Christian before that, too, but we all know that isn't true.
Your own link says that "Orthodox Christianity became the established church of the Ethiopian Axumite Kingdom under king Ezana in the 4th century through the efforts of a Syrian Greek named Frumentius." That's the only concrete historical record in the region. Obviously they have a mythological history that extends before that, but so does every other Church.
And most of the Christians in the Middle East were converted through Greek Christianity. That's pretty well-documented. That's why they all believe in certain concepts that originally come from Greek philosophy and not from the Bible.

So in your opinion christians were in ethiopia but they were nobodies until the greeks and armenians came and then they were qualified them?
You arent making sense. There were already christians there, before they came. This is a fact. Some European friends came and helped but they did not BRING/INTRODUCE christianity to Ethiopia like you are suggesting. A church was established using the flocks of Christians that were already present as a basis and adding more to that with converts. The fact remains. Christianity existed in ethiopia in 1AD but the official church was not built and established until much later. Nice try there pal. People with agendas love to speak about 1 side of the coin but when you call them out, they act like they already established what you countered their 1 sided argument with. TheReal, show more integrity and speak about the whole picture because your satanic slants on issues are getting frustrating for friends, friend. We're tired of having to dance around stuff with you.

There may, have been some Christians there, and if so, they were mostly foreign merchants, and with no Church, though they still don't predate the Christians in Europe. The problem is we have literally no historical record of that. The only historical record we have, including in Ethiopia itself, is of the adoption of Christianity in 330AD.
What fact? There is literally no evidence of a Christian Church in Ethiopia before the 300s. The Church was established because the King was converted by the Greek Frumentius, not through any existing flocks. Sorry, but now you're just making things up. Even the Ethiopian sources themselves disagree with you there.
I already gave you the whole picture. You would rather rely on wishful thinking than actual historical record, though, which is understandable. You just can't deal with the fact that some European Catholics converted your ancestors and are going to all kinds of lengths, talking about Christianity on the other side of the continent and a people who have no connection to you to try and avoid that very simple fact.
Not sure what you're getting at here. Greek philosophy having foreign influences doesn't have any bearing on the fact that that Hellenized Christianity was what the Middle Easterners were practicing.
