When a person has faith that they will fail, and that they will strive to live perfect in Selassie I ways but always fall short, it is willing failure and a serious sin. It might seem like a small thing on the surface, but when people spread such notions, it is more destructive than much of the other foolishness that people spread. To teach people to have faith in such lowness is such a destruction and will keep anybody who believes in it away from RasTafarI.
The only way to accomplish a thing is to have Faith that it will be accomplished. Having faith in less than that is gauranteed failure.
Imagine if a person wants to start a business and has the firm belief that they will not be successful in the business, but will just strive to be successful, until they finally succumb to their unavoidable failure. They are defeated before they even start, and their business will surely end in failure, and will likely end quickly.
If it were only to a business that this destructive philosophy was being applied to, it would be better. But it is being applied to a place so much more serious and important, a person's Irits. Willing failure. That is a sin that I blaze serious Fire on, it is a sin that can bring forth every other sin and destruction. That duppy is like a parasite or virus, spreading doubt, lowness and failure.
RasTafarI people must know that faith in failure only brings failure, and that I and I must always have Faith in the Most High God RasTafarI Haile Selassie I for every thing, including that I and I will be made Perfect while I and I have breath, in this very second if I and I Faith is strong enough. It is only our choice and preference for slackness and our doubt that prevents it. Fire Burn that slackness and doubt until it is no more, Fire Burn excuses and delay. Fire Burn everything that is contrary and disagreeable, Fire Burn until only Pure Fire remains, with Pure Fire is Pure Righteousness, because Fire only destroys wickedness.

I sight Fire as a good thing, because it burns the wickedness inside and outside. Some prefer to keep the wickedness within, or they have too much wickedness, so they don't like the Fire because it burns too much.
The scripture below is the best way to look at Jah Fire. It is a strength and purification for those that want to live in righteousness, but it is a destruction and torment for those that desire wickedness.
Mark 9
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
46 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
47 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire:
48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
49 For every one shall be salted with fire, and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt.
50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
The way I interpret salt in this scripture is that Salt is Fire. That is why he said "For every one shall be salted with fire".
In verse 50 where it says,
50 Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith will ye season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
I see this verse as:
Fire is good: but if the Fire has lost its strength, what can you burn with it? Have Fire in yourselves, and have peace one with another.
Christ is showing I and I that we will all go through the Fire, that is why he says "For every one shall be salted with fire". So it is better for I and I to blaze the Fire upon ourselves, to burn out wickedness when I and I see it. Instead of waiting for when we die, to burn eternally in the eternal Fire.
43 And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched:
44 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched.
Christ is showing I and I to burn away any part of ourselves (thoughts and actions) that is wickedness. Because it is better to enter into Life without that part, then to keep that part, and then burn in eternal Fire, where the worm dieth not, and the Fire is not quenched.
The Fire must come, it is our choice to bring the Fire upon ourselves for a time, until the wickedness is gone. Or it is our choice to not have Fire within, and when judgement come, we will have to deal with eternal Fire.
Keep Jah Fire within
Fire is Good
