@@praisekek181 "a scientist can see things as they are apart", this depends on the science, the statement "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts" is largely true, this is because the properties a 'whole' can exhibit is only limited by the number of interactions the 'parts' can have with each other and the outside (this keeps on going as properties can themselves result in new properties, &c).

British churchyards contain ancient protected trees. They are often quite impressive.

Fuck off, The church is Satanic. They lie to you

@Random Username 2:17, my friend.

@Random Username Dude, it does. Clearing a rainforest results in the disruption of the water cycle. These forests are self sustaining systems and if you remove them you fuck up the climate and rainfall tremendously, creating a Savanna or desert on that exact spot where the rainforest used to be. The Aztec had to learn it the hard way, as well as the Spanish settlers in Mexico and Brazil is on it’s way to experience the same.

​@Random Username I think you missed @David Kammerer's point that forests are self sustaining systems. Everyone knows that removing plants/trees too quickly without rejuvenating the soil will deplete the land of nutrients and turn it into dust. In addition, the link between decreased forest cover and decreased rainfall has been observed for hundreds of years. The 'normal environment for the area' - the particular one in this video - was probably lush forest, as suggested by the thriving patch you see here, that was once much much larger.

@Random Username The forest was there for long before humans cut it down - how is the resulting barren environment not a human issue? I'm from Mars. Do educate me.

@Random Username You think Ethiopia is a desert LMAO..maybe near Yemen and Somalia. To take It a step further, the equator runs through the highlands ( what the documentary is about ), its far from being considered arid. The issue comes, from long periods of drought, and a large pop. They still receive a lot of rain in a years time though. They have some tropical areas, as well as many many woodlands. The use of regenerative agriculture and rain harvesting techniques are becoming more common in this area. What's happening, is much like what occurred in the great dust bowl. (That's why they build swales now). So while drought is a major environmental factor, its being overlooked by the farmers, in favor of fast profits.

In the bible there is no such thing as a holy place on earth for a Christian. We don't have a temple as true Christians. Our body is the temple of God, if indeed we are indwelled by the Holy Spirit through faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ. The biblical "church" is not a building or institution, but a congregation of believers. Rom 1:16; 1 Cor 15:1-4; Eph 2:8-9; Rom 3:23-26

​​@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeepthere were never pagans. Your religion is the same as those you look down upon. Historically the people only worshipped one God. They worshipped God within the animals.

@@longhairdontcare122 Exactly, it’s a subtropical climate, meaning it almost never freezes. Temperate climates (four seasons) force plants to stop growing to endure winter. If the climate doesn’t freeze, plants have no obligation to stop growing. Hence, the “sped up” growth rate.

Instead of nations colonising nations we have big multinational corporations doing it

the source of everything we have is our religion if u really try to ask deeply the route of every cultural thing we have or somethings we do , you find it ultimately being related with the religion.

@@WaterspoutsOfTheDeepGenesis 21:33: And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God. Maybe… just maybe… the issue is one of abuse by planting groves in imitation of sacred groves made by pagans, and not groves in and of themselves? It makes sense why it would have been forbidden in Deuteronomy as part of many of other ceremonial laws that were meant to help the Israelites distinguish themselves from the surrounding nations, but those religions from the time of the Torah are long gone and ceremonial laws like this, not eating shellfish, or even wearing fringes with blue on your clothes no longer apply.

The sentiment is appreciated, for sure, but that's pantheism, and Orthodoxy is not pantheistic. God is the Creator and Lord of creation, but he is not creation nor is creation him. There is coming a time (the new heavens and new earth) when the glory and grace of God will infuse and pervade everything in all of creation, and so in a sense the new creation will be panentheistic, but that is not the present state of things. As things are now, we still live in a fallen and corrupt world. But it is being redeemed, and that redemption began with Jesus Christ.

@@HickoryDickory86 Seeing God's love and presence in His creation is not pantheism, and neither is displaying poetic in the presence of beauty.

This is truly a beautiful set of practices. But I think it is best said that Gnostics hated the physical world, and particularly, women. The original Christians weren't Gnostics, and Christian mysticism isn't Gnosticism. If you'd like to see a Gnostic presentation of "Christianity", read the Gospel of Thomas. You might find that it has nothing to do with Christianity or with anything actually societally desirable. It's not kind to women or nature. It's not kind to the body. It's doesn't give us a savior who actually knows us or can sympathize with us because he cannot be one of us - most Gnostic texts from something approximating Christian tradition work to iterate or imply that Jesus's body wasn't real because a good God cannot be a part of the physical universe, and for the universe to be restored to goodness, it must be abolished entirely; distinction and division must be eliminated; women must become men to be saved. In this perspective, rising above the sufferings and evil in this world demands not that we enter in with true love or care but that we hate creation. That's not Christianity, and it doesn't seem like it would make good gardeners.

@@williamashley7147 I use it as shorthand for preinstitutional Christianity - no form of which is particularly kind to women.

The Ark of Covenant is believed to be kept in Ethiopia. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ark_of_the_Covenant

Being old and having more books in their canon aren't correlative. Eastern Orthodoxy and Oriental Orthodoxy (including Ethiopian Tewahedo) are of equal ages... from a certain point of view. Orthodoxy is the most ancient, Apostolic form of Christianity wherever it is found. That is, unless you count the Fourth Ecumenical Council (the Council of Chalcedon in AD 451) as the beginning date of the Oriental (including Ethiopian) Churches, since that's when they broke away and became "Oriental." The Ethiopian Church has always had a larger canon of Scripture, though, even before Chalcedon. That's simply because they accepted some books as canonical that the other churches elsewhere did not. The books of 1 Enoch and Jubilees are two examples. In some places Revelation wasn't accepted; it others, Hebrews wasn't; in still others, the letters of Peter; and on it goes. The development of the canon took centuries; not everyone had the same canon at all times. Nearly all of the books in the Ethiopian canon were known to and cited by Church Fathers outside of Ethiopia as well, so they're not necessarily unique to Ethiopia; they just were not regarded by the rest of the Church as belonging in the Bible. But whether they are in the Bible or not is not really all that great of a concern within Orthodoxy in general because the Bible is only part of the wider Apostolic tradition. It should also be noted that for much of its history, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church was under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Alexandria, and was represented by him in the Ecumenical Councils. After Chalcedon, the parallel structure of Coptic Church of Alexandria was erected with its own Patriarch (the Coptic Pope of Alexandria) to oppose what now is called the Greek Orthodox Patriarch. The Ethiopian Church followed the Coptics in rejecting Chalcedon, adopting at that time the name "Tewahedo." Only relatively recently were they given autocephaly and granted their own patriarchate by the Coptic Papacy. The Ethiopians do, however, have their own unique versions of some of those books, such as the Ethiopian Maccabees, and I would like to get my hands on an English translation one day.

@drag0nfly_girl The Ethiopians always had a larger canon than the rest of the church, but that's only because they regarded as canonical books that others did not. No one "removed" any books from the widely accepted canon of the whole church until the Protest Reformation against Roman Catholicism, where the Protestants rejected the Deuterocanon/Apocrypha. That was a Western phenomenon, to be sure, but it wasn't the Western church rejecting what the Ethiopians had accepted, as you make it out to seem. The Ethiopians always accepted more than everyone else; and what the Protestants rejected was the Apocrypha.
