Why The Ethiopian Bible Is False, Is Not The Oldest and Complete Bible
The claim that the Ethiopian Bible is “false” is not supported by historical or scholarly evidence. In fact, the Ethiopian Bible is recognized as one of the oldest and most complete Bibles in existence, containing 81 to 88 books, far more than the 66 books in the Protestant Bible. It is written in Ge’ez, an ancient Ethiopian language, and includes texts like the Book of Enoch, Jubilees, and 3 Maccabees, which were considered important by early Christian communities but excluded from other canons.
Why the Ethiopian Bible is Not “False”
- Historical Antiquity: The Ethiopian Bible contains manuscripts that predate the Council of Nicaea (325 AD) and even the King James Version by centuries. Some scrolls are over 1,500 years old.
- Archaeological Corroboration: The Dead Sea Scrolls (discovered in the 1940s) include texts similar to those in the Ethiopian Bible, such as Enoch and Jubilees, confirming their ancient origins.
- Cultural and Theological Significance: The Ethiopian Orthodox Church traces its roots to the 4th century and maintains that Christianity was present in Ethiopia before it spread widely in Europe. The Kebra Nagast, a key Ethiopian religious text, links the Ethiopian monarchy to King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, a narrative supported by genetic studies showing ancient Near Eastern ancestry among some Ethiopians.
Why It’s Not Widely Accepted
The Ethiopian Bible is not considered canonical by most Western Christian traditions (Protestant, Catholic, and mainstream Orthodox) for several reasons:
- Pseudepigrapha: Books like Enoch and Jubilees were deemed non-canonical by early church councils due to their attributed authorship (e.g., Enoch, a figure from Genesis) and later theological concerns.
- Language Barrier: Written in Ge’ez, it is inaccessible to most non-specialists, and many of its books have never been translated into English.
- Political and Theological Control: The selection of biblical texts was shaped by political power. The Council of Nicaea and later the King James Bible were influenced by church leaders who excluded texts that challenged centralized authority or doctrine.
Conclusion
The Ethiopian Bible is not false—it is a complete, ancient, and historically significant compilation of religious texts. Its exclusion from mainstream Christian canons reflects theological and political decisions, not factual inaccuracy. It remains a vital source for understanding early Christianity and the diversity of biblical traditions.
What Does The KJV Bible Say?
The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible (81-88 books) is often cited as the most complete and oldest (e.g., Garima Gospels, 4th-6th century), but it is not considered “false” in a theological sense, rather it adheres to a different, broader canon (Tewahedo) than the 66-book King James Version (KJV), which follows a more restricted Protestant canon.
Key Differences and Reasons for Divergence
- Extra Books: The Ethiopian Bible includes Enoch, Jubilees, Maccabees, and more in the Old Testament, while the KJV excludes these Apocryphal texts.
- Canon Development: The KJV was compiled based on Hebrew canon (Old Testament) and Western tradition, while the Ethiopian canon was finalized differently, prioritizing older, early Christian texts.
- Translation Differences: The Ethiopian Bible is translated from Ge’ez, an ancient Ethiopian language, rather than directly from Greek or Hebrew, which can create variations in text interpretation, according to YouTube.
Table: Comparison of Ethiopian Bible vs. KJV
| Feature | Ethiopian Bible (Tewahedo) | King James Version (KJV) |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Books | 81-88 books | 66 books |
| Old Testament | Includes Enoch, Jubilees, 1-3 Maccabees (Meqabyan), Baruch, etc. | Generally excludes Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books |
| New Testament | Includes books like 1&2 Clement and Shepherd of Hermas | Standard 27 books |
| Language/Origin | Translated into Ge’ez (early centuries) | Translated from Greek/Latin/Hebrew (1611) |
| Oldest Copy | Garima Gospels (c. 330-650 CE) | Codex Sinaiticus (c. 350 CE) |
Why the Discrepancy?
The Ethiopian Bible is not fundamentally “false,” but rather reflects a different, older tradition. The KJV’s 66-book canon was solidified during the Reformation, focusing on books largely accepted by the Hebrew tradition, whereas the Ethiopian Orthodox Church maintained a wider, ancient, and traditional, Ethiopian, list of scriptures, often called the narrower canon, as discussed on Quora and Reddit.

This is a major important point about forgiveness
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. -MATTHEW 5:24 KJV
Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?
I would start out by saying what Jesus Christ would want us to do? Pray and how should we pray? The Lord’s Prayer, and how often should we pray? Continually. Why do we use the Lord’s Prayer and not some other? The Lord’s Prayer covers all the areas that is important for our spiritual being.
When we pray the Lords prayer we ask to forgive our enemies, let God’s will be done, the kingdom to come. By praying the Lord’s prayer we let go of many thoughts we have in our head and give them back to God so we can have things revealed to us.
We must overcome resentment in our heart, and in a past video I shared about Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about how resentment can destroy us and we become our own very worst enemy and Jordan goes on to say that we must talk to people what we have resentment toward to overcome that resentment. Other people who lived in the past who talked about this is Jesus Christ and someone who is living now who talks about this daily is Brother Augustine, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. Charles Stanley, Rev. John Piper and Pastor Paul Washer.
Women are looking for a fathers love
Women are looking for a fathers love. Its important that men understand women are looking for a fathers love and not get screwed. Woman more than anything are looking for a strong spiritual man to lead the future (the family). I think in many YouTube videos on biblical teachings, how young women are being hurt by men that are just looking to get laid instead of doing right and being in Christ and setting a good example of a strong man. We must be in Christ, hate no one, love all, forgave theses we resent, love what is right and support people who are walking with God.
Women need their fathers in their lives to be strong man to be good examples and not BETA men or weak examples of what a man should be. Its important that a man leads the way as Christ leads men, we as man need to fellow Jesus Christ to keep society from going to HELL.
Every day you can see or people watch how some men and women our living in hell without the right spiritual order then you will continue your hellish way according to 2 Peter. You can also find it in Romans. God will give you over to a reprobate mind.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. – Romans 1:28 (KJV)
In Romans 1, Paul refers to something known as a reprobate mind. If you’re not familiar with the term reprobate, the literal definition in the Greek is failing to pass the test, unapproved, counterfeit.
Spiritual Order – In The Family and Church
God the father
Jesus Christ
Father (Men over women)
Mother (Women over children)
Here is Book, Chapter and Verse from the Kings James Version 1 Corinthian 11:2-16, But the main message is in 1 Corinthian 11:3: “3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”

How God Commands Us To Forgive Those Who We Have Resentment Toward.
All of us are tested everyday by our personal internal struggle coming from resentment of what happened earlier in our lives as children typically what our mother did to us, telling how our fathers were not good enough or driving us away from our fathers when we were children. We most go to the people that we have resentment against and forgive them. By forgiving our mothers or whoever we have resentment against, God will forgive us and we can return to the heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It was said if you don’t love everyone then you love no one. People today live like the Old Testament people did. We must forgive and love everyone as God Commanded us to do according to Matthew 22:34-40.
After Reading The Passage I would Recommend Doing A Silent Prayer
Its is said: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 King James Version (KJV)

In a world where it is so easy to forget the importance of God, we must remember that He is holy and will not share His glory. America has forgotten this truth and it is time for us to re-examine our relationship with God and recognize that He is the one true God who deserves our full devotion and reverence. We must remember that He will not be taken lightly or ignored, but rather should be honored as the Creator of all things. Only then can we truly experience His love and grace in our lives.
