Orthodox Christianity
(continued part)👆👇
Basically, when we say "Orthodox Tewahedo Religion", we believe in the unity and trinity of God, and the knowledge that we cannot see with our fleshly eyes, that we cannot touch with our hands, that we cannot reach through research, and that there is a God (Creator) who precedes us even if we run. Through the laws of nature, he created heaven and earth, darkness and light, day and night, man and angels, wild animals and animals, plants and vegetables, creatures that move on land and sea, crawl on their chests, and fly on their wings, 22 creatures in total. 'Orthodox Tewahedo Religion' is the direct way to acknowledge the creator who feeds and guides all creatures. Therefore, as the creator is one, religion can be one. This is the main secret that makes it different from other types of faith. Because all faith is not religion; For example: those who believe in Satan, those who believe in worshiping gods, those who believe in the spirit of the king, those who worship fire, river, tree, stone, various spirits, we do not call all these nominal beliefs as 'religion'.
The true and direct religion is the treasure of the Holy Spirit given to us to believe in God alone, the Creator, Sustainer. “Religion is the foundation of everything; But the others are buildings and walls or roofs and walls." The foundation of a house does not support the whole building. Religion carries faith, conduct, and various good works. Just as a building does not stand without a foundation, there is no religion without conduct. Or it doesn't make sense. Apostle St. Jacob said, "If there is faith without works, it is dead in itself." Religion and morals; He said that they are like aspects of the same coin that cannot be spoken separately
Therefore, religion is not only believing in the existence of God, but also trusting. This means obeying God and performing the proper rituals according to the laws and regulations of the religion.
