Ethiopia is a good friend nation but they came second to adopting Christianity. We do share similar alphabet also. Again Ethiopia came second to that also. Much love.
This is the "religious" point of view of this history. The political (and more pressing) reason why Trdat (his name in Armenian) converted his nation was to preserve his nation (something Armenia and Armenians still fight for to this day) He knew that they'd be one day swallowed by a bigger empire like Rome or the Persians so if you have a religious difference, you're less likely to assimilate. Mashdots creating the alphabet also helped Armenia become unique and independent from a "bigger" culture swallowing them up. Zoroastrianism also wasn't the Persian version in Armenia. Armenia had a pantheon much like Greece and Rome, with gods and goddesses, and there were elements of "Zoroastrianism" in it. Romans were continuously pushing Armenia to join their empire, even suggesting that the religions were similar.
*Orthodox Stop fighting over which one of you was the first Christian nation!!!* Both eastern and western Christians need to behave and act proper and united in the Face of Jesus. It's like a bunch of siblings running around instead of sitting in maturity during a family photo.
You’re making a huge mistake in this video. Armenians were NOT Zoroastrians they had their own pagan faith with various different gods not Zoroastrian you are repeating debunked history.
@@StoicHistorian the vast majority of Armenians never followed Zoroaster never had the Avesta or had any connection to the form of Zoroastrianism from Persia. The pagan gods of Armenia has COMPLETELY different attributes and characteristics, there were some linguistic impacts from Parthian but the pagan gods were completely different.
Our Heavenly Father said everyone put the 🍎 s back in the basket of rebellious angels he called false gods in his commandments and there is a pads with wings section of his discipline and we bend the wings section. Our Heavenly Father called king or queen false idols in his commandments and they took many measures to rebellion of false idolism.
There was no catholics or orthodox but instead the one true church. And by the way, the majority of Christians at that time believed the holy spirit proceeded from the father only
@@armen4ok280 not true. The word 'Catholic' was used In a letter to the church in Smyrna circa 110 AD written by St. Ignatius of Antioch. Who was saint Ignatius of Antioch? He was a disciple of John the Apostle. There is a letter of Clement who was Pope Clement dated 96 AD.
ethiopia was the first christian country !Three hundred years after Ethiopia accepted Christianity, Rome became a Christian state! Armenia was a part of Roman Empire!
@@esraeltamrat6346 Armenia was a client Kingdom of rome, there’s no evidence outside of oral myth that Ethopia accepted Christianity until at least 30 years after Armenia
armenia became weak after being a christian state. the invested in building churchers, in the cities of ani they built thousands of churches. the the worst thing was any armenian with othet faith was considered as non armrnian. the turks in the other hand were free to yo believe any religion, so, we can find shamanism, tengrism, budism, ortodox, judaism and islam among turks
