Youthman,

I hid your post instead of deleting it because you were responding to questions asked of you.

As I said, this is finished. There are plenty other places you can go to try to convince people to fall away from Selassie I, and all who want to continue with that circle with you can deal with that subject elsewhere.

This is a place for RasTafarI to reason of things I and I are sure about, and to reason of things I and I are unsure about, so that I and I can learn and be sure. It is not a place to debate with others who want to convince I and I of unsurety.

Ark I:
That is alright with me, and I support finishing the thread.
The post included questions that I myself answered, but they were as a mean to express myself. I wanted to respond to statements by Ten because he had clearly misunderstood me.

Some final answers to Ten:
Yes, I have reasoned about Selassie-I with Christians, but of him as a Davidic king.
I never meant to force my belief on anyone, that is just making a religious proselyte. My participation in the thread was to share my view on the interview with Selassie-I, the Gospel and will of our Father, without wanting to be highminded or arrogant. I did it because of concern.

It's understandable that these kind of posts aren't welcomed. Don't think I'll be active anymore, but if I join some time, I'll try to respect the guideliness.
I hope and pray that we all may reside in Jah kingdom.
Bye.

Very well done all.

There are lessons in all things. Give thanks Youthman.

Greetings.

About Selassie I beaing free from sin,

"If Selassie I can be born like I and I, and still live without sin and be One with Jah, then I and I can do the same." - Ark I

Id like to quote a part of his speech about Christmas/Genna.

"It is quite true that there is no perfection in humanity. From time to time we make mistakes, we do commit sins but even as we do that, deep in our hearts as Christians we know we have forgiveness from the Almighty." - H.I.M. Haile Selassie.

As a member of the Royal family he allways adressed himself as "we", but he could also adress humanity, But in the interview he makes it clear that he is a man, seen?

what are your thoughts about this?

Yah liveth and ruleth and reingth!

lol you are beginning to irritate i.
How many times have i seen people starting their posts with something like "i am not trying to disrespect you" and they continue and do the exact same thing. It doesnt help for you to say i am not trying to provoke anyone when that is exactly what you are doing.
I really try to overstand people like you. What is it. You see as well as i do the banner on top of this page. It says JAH RASATAFARI, do you see it? so what is it, do you feel like you have a mission to convince people of what you belive to be true? why do you keep banging your head against the wall? why do you keep coming back to the one point that no RASTAFARI will argue about. Everyone who comes here is here to reason on life and ini GOD and KING Emperor HAILE I Selassie I JAH RASTAFARI. I dont care if you are Bobo or Binghi or TTOI, if Emperor Haile Selassie I is not your God and King, then you have no business calling yourself Rastafari, that is a complete misrepresentation and you will regret that. Have you ever seen a christian who claims Jesus is not his Lord and saviour. Have you ever seen a buddhist who doesnt hold his faith in Buddha? You ever seen a muslim who doesnt say that Muhammed is Gods prophet?
so what are doing my friend?

Perhaps you are wondering why i sound vexed with you, i will tell you

You keep trying to convince people that Selassie i is a man
you just wrote " But in the interview he makes it clear that he is a man, seen?
and then you ask what one thoughts on this are lol

let me see, Ark I gave you the link to this post so you can read and get your answers right ? ok, right in the beginning of his post Ark I wrote
" When I look at RasTafarI's answer, this is how I Iverstand it. He showed the people that he is a Man, and will be replaced by the oncoming generation. Selassie I was born of mother and father, just like I and I "

So what part of that sentence did you not understand that you just had to come back and ask again ?

These are the words of the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the ruler of God's creation. I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot. I wish you were either one or the other! So, because you are lukewarm—neither hot nor cold—I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

what a time that is approaching fast iyah

Bro.Asher,

Before you read this, I have one important thing to say. I am not interested in hearing any of your answers to any of the questions I ask in this post, because it will just continue the distraction you bring. I ask these questions so that you can answer it to your own self. And if you answer them on the forum, it is likely that you will come with more talk trying to say that Selassie I is less, and if I see any more talk from you saying Selassie I is less, I will erase the post as soon as I see it. And if your post has 100 lines of something different and one line saying Selassie I is less, I will erase the whole post.

And as a reference for others who see this post, here is the New Season Topic.

New Season


Haile Selassie I said:

It's quite true that there is no perfection in humanity. From time to time we make mistakes. We do commit sins, but even as we do that, deep in our hearts as Christians we know we have a chance of forgiveness from the Almighty. He taught us that all men are equal regardless of sex, their national origin and tribe. And He also taught us all who seek HIM shall find HIM. To live in this healthy life, a Christian life, is what makes me follow Jesus Christ.



It is obvious from this paragraph that Selassie I is speaking about humanity as a whole. So when he says we, he means "we as a human race". He is not talking about himself when he says we.

What do you think the people's reaction would be if Selassie I said, "It's quite true that there is no perfection in humanity. From time to time you make mistakes. You do commit sins, but even as you do that......"

People would shun him and refuse his words because it would sound like he is accusing people. So by saying we, He is generalizing, so that people might be more likely to hear His words. Selassie I doesn't say what he says for vanity, he says what he says so that people can learn and rise higher.


Haile Selassie I said in another speech:

Shame on those of us who are Christians and do not follow the way of the Savior of the World, whose life was filled with kindness, humility, and martyrdom! If we lived by the laws he gave us and were worthy of being called Christian, peace would have reigned on this earth.



Does your filthy mind think that Selassie I is saying Shame on himself for not following the way of the Saviour of the World and saying that He is not worthy of being called a Christian, because He talks about we and us? If you think such things, then I not only don't want to see you saying that Jah RasTafarI Haile Selassie I is less, I don't want to see you saying anything at all here, I have no interest in the anti-christ.


Try to find one place in any of Selassie I words where he talks about a time where he sinned, or even says that he himself is a sinner? You will never find such a thing.

But one thing you will find is this.

---------------------------
Fallaci: Your Majesty, I would like you to tell me something about yourself. Tell me were you ever a disobedient youth? But maybe I ought to ask you first whether you have ever had time to be young, Your Majesty?



Selassie: We don't understand that question. What kind of question is that? It is obvious that We have been young. We weren't born old! We have been a child, a boy, a youth, an adult, and finally an old man. Like everyone else. Our Lord the Creator made us like everyone else. Maybe you wish to know what kind of youth We were. Well We were a very serious, very diligent, very obedient youth. We were sometimes punished, but do you know why? Because what We were made to study did not seem enough and We wished to study further. We wanted to stay on at school after lessons were over. We were loath to amuse ourselves, to go riding, to play. We didn't want to waste time on games.


---------------------------

So as you can see, Selassie I was such an obedient Youth, that the only thing He was punished for was not wasting His time with games and refusing to stop from Rising Higher for even a moment. How can a heathen like you imagine that He would be sinful as an Adult? When He was a Child, He was different then any other youth in the world, no youth is as obedient and righteous as He was as a Youth.

Get your mind out of filthiness, or if you can't do that, at least get your mind out of this forum.

I can't deal with people like you, it is a complete waste of time saying anything to you, because saying something or nothing has the same affect, which is nothing. I tell you something very straightforward, direct and simple. Did you not even look at my reasoning "New Season" or anything I have been saying to you the last couple of days you have been posting here?

In the TTOI post you said:
----------------------------------
I never meant to distract noone, since im new to this forum, I have never discussed this subject here before.

Give thanks for the link, i will read the thread and if i have anything else to say about the interview i will say it there.

One more thing, if i would like to continue discussing the TTOI mansion of RasTafarI with Ilee, where would i go?
----------------------------------

You are fine to talk about the TTOI mansion in the same TTOI post. And I was not telling you that if you wanted to talk less of Selassie I, then you should say it in a different topic.

I hope I am making Iself clear in this next sentence:

If you want to say anything less about Haile Selassie I. Say it elsewhere, not in another topic, but elsewhere as in not in this website.

Here is a quote from the book Reggae Routes: The Story of Jamaican Music By Kevin O'Brien

-----------
Former Senator and Gleaner editor, Hector Wynter, tells of asking him, during his visit to Jamaica in 1966, when he was going to tell Rastafarians he was not God. 'Who am I to disturb their belief?' replied the Emperor.

Haile I Selassie I intended to liberate man yet man is still caught up with external appearances go WITHIN AND SEE I SELASSIE I
