Ras Kebre,
I didn't send any post last time, as the life matters start rushing.
I found long lecture, in all brothers and sisters messages.
Many Thanks to the I for posts, true wisdom in the I words.
"To all who want to say this and that about "white" Rastafari..let this African youth say this....It takes much more for a white person to sight the Divinity and Supremacy of the Ivine Black King of Creation than it does for a black person."
So they must to try harder then any one else, after its make them stronger than the weak ones who get it and didn't developed, as a grace given but not appreciated.
I think, that is no way matter of someOnes place and family of born, but the work that I and I perform.
I was born on the East, and made hard efforts to get where I am already.
I've learnt English for many years and still I am not so confident in using it, to fully express what I am thinking and precisely present may point of view. Who made that effort to learn any language, can overstand and appreciate that work.
To learn way of Rastafari it is whole life of hard work and challenges.
If any I and I Idren or Sister was born on the West, it is hard to overstand the way of the East.
There is wisdom in this world and there are people who looks for it or who ignore it. No matter, black or white, yellow or brown.
Is it bad for Rastafari, that people are trying to overstand His wisdom?
I fill pain and sadness, when children of Mighty God try to exclude any One from right to follow the way of His Majesty.
Scary is also to hear from brothers and sisters, that Christ and Bible is not and fundamental authority for I and I.
If the I_s want to create religion/movement who refuse the words of Father and say that a Man they chose is God, it is apostasy.
HIM words:
***
" Our Lord has said in the Gospel: ''It is written: ' The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and before Him only shalt thou prostrate thyself'' And He commanded His disciples, saying: 'Go and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost' He also said: ''Since God is spirit,''and also:
''I and the Father are one, and all that which belongs to the Father is Mine.'' These words show that one must believe in the Divine Unity and the Trinity of the Persons, and in the equality of Person, in one Divine nature, and His power, and in the greatness of His glory. Moreover, one must adore God only, and must prostate oneself before Him only, because of the words of Gospel: ''And God is the Word, and the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us; we saw His glory, as the glory of the only begotten of the Father.'' This is the demonstration of the incarnation of God, and this is Christ, to Whose power glory is due, and to Whose benefices, thanksgiving. And the Highest - glory be to Him!- said the Pentateuch:''I am the Lord thy God; thou shalt not adore another god beside Me,''(...)."
