       Ethiopian Orthodox and Immaculate Conception

       Father I'm curious to know what the Ethiopian Orthodox position
       on the Immaculate Conception is...
       This is because  I've seen statements from Ethiopians that seem
       the same as the Catholic doctrine of the Immaculate
       Conception...

       [s]Just to clarify, are you asking about the immaculate
       conception of Christ or Theotokos?[/s]
       Hello! Not a place of discussion. Please place in it's board
       that would fit best if you want to ask or PM the member.

       TRANSLATION FROM AMHARIC
       Hello dear Child!
       This question you have asked is very important and much confused
       in our church. May I say Mary's Immaculate Conception is
       heretical. She was born of sin and died with original sin. She
       never committed personal sin but that is all it goes too. Church
       goers in Kansas pushed the EOO Patriarch in Addis Ababa and for
       5 years there was no answer. They went to our sister church, the
       COO and we got an answer from his Bishop David, all the way in
       Egypt. I hope you read the document that was sent out a time ago
       to many OO churches.May one day you be able to visit St Gabriels
       ETOC.  God bless and I will add you too my prayers, loved child
       of god.
       -Fr Meskel

       For all interested... This is concerning the Immaculate
       Conception of Mary
       Father what about what The Kibre Negest says:
       [quote] “But in His mercy God the Father created the pearl in
       the body of Adam; he cleansed Eve’s body and sanctified it and
       made it into a dwelling for Adam’s salvation. Thus Mary was born
       without blemish, for He made Her pure without pollution.”  Yes
       Ezekiel’s sealed door was truly sealed with a great marvelous
       seal so that original sin does not pollute it. The Blessed
       Virgin Mary was born without Adam’s original sin.[/quote]
       Thanks in advance  :)

       No discussions again. I can answer that question for you but
