just to make a statement because I see the confusion. when I and I say things like that it does NOT mean the I still doesn't follow and practice many things within the bible.

Nazarite vow
King David
many statements within revelation
'Ye are Gods'

and much more.....

the thing is. these stories these histories and these ideology are NOT exclusive to the bible. Bible teachings (the ones worth paying attention to) are found anywhere and almost everywhere with an ancient past, especially Africa.

the reason I personally burn bible is because
- I was given it and told it was the perfect word of god. yet it gives no credit and reference to the sources the root sources from. which much of its ideology comes. this is plagiarism. And because we still believe it is the unshakeable transcript of gods word, people will make up illogical crazy far out even self harming stories to validate the bible rather than just admit there was no day and night before the sun was created!!!! There was no ancient snake which spoke Hebrew! The black people of Ham are not cursed for an eternity.... I mean really!? Did god put that in or did man? We just gonna let this book Shit on us like that and say God meant it.

- I am fully aware of the council of nicea in Rome where the Babylonians pick and chose and clearly edited books to go in the final copy of the bible. well what about the other books? being Rastas nobody can refute the authenticity of the kebra negast..... and many other books. POINT IS if i give you a book which the POPE choses to hold for hundreds of years before releasing it and the pope tells you he promises he didnt 'change' a word - are we as conscious people REALLY going to believe this?

- when I look to the ancients. the people of Kemet. the nazarites of Israel. historically, these stories cannot be misinterpreted. yet when the same stories are told biblically -and not historically - look at the amount of confusion and different interpretations. this was purposely done and this is what happens with allegorical writing. look how many wars have been faught and people dead through this book. please think about this. I don't deny there is good in the bible. but so many people dead.... so much misinterpretation.... is there no other means of getting 'good' knowledge?

- if we deal with the incients. what were they doing without or before the bible? are they damned to hell? what was there livity? the unsuprising thing is many ancient practices are relived through the livity and ideology of rastafari that has Nothing to do with what rasta read in bible. there is more to this ting!

Now in reference to Jah and tHe bible he clearly used:
For me the ultimate analogy is: if your mother is not a rasta and she has a different 'religion' to you.... does that mean you do not love / cherish and follow your mother? can this only be done if you both share the same religion?

lastly, haile selassie religion does not in any way, teach haile selassie is the almighty. and he uses the same book. are people saying they interpret the book better than Jah? because through his interpreting is not the same as rasta interpretation.

So if through the bible and only through the bible haile selassie is jah. But haile doesn't interpret it this way, who we call god. Then are you disagreeing with god and his interpretation of his own book? You see the confusion?


ThEre is MORE than bible out there

so if it's going to be a stagnant point, where our logical thinking stops and stagnates due to this book. then I will unapologetically burn this book. I can still read every book in the bible, but this collection put together by Rome - I man burn.

JC is a next reasoning. we don't see any reference to the name Jesus (but we do see Christ) outside the bible. but this is a next reasoning.

To beat home the point, LASTLY:

I, as Rasta, am the IRIGINAL MAN. Therefore i represent the Ancestors from allegorical Adam/Eve right down to the I. We are ONE. I represent one and i represent the holy trinity set by my parents and so on down the line. I represent the IRIGINAL man, and every Incient since then.

The IRIGINALS or the INCIENTS (many / most of them) DID NOT HAVE OR USE ANY BIBLE............... Please consider and reason over this.

Secondly, the Bible is one of the LAST texts / sources you want to use when learning or studying (not that its necessary) the Incients.

Just overs the concept....... you dont have to agree.

I represent 55 million. I cannot do this when limited to the Bible and Christian realm.

Haile Selassie I Jah RASTAFARI

O yes, and burn all other scrolls like those not wriiten in the bible and such lies. Burn all books. Burn them! Burn physical science. Burn the schools. Burn all other pagan gods. Burn Horus and Shiva and Buddah and Allah and other false gods too. Burn mathematics and burn the computer too. I and I follow no religion or Science. RASTA IS A FREE OF RIGHT. Most High Selassie I Jah Ras TafarI one and only true God. Rasta is the living God, and any other god written in any scroll, bible, gnostics, stone, text, talmud, korhan, or any religion or science is all false gods doctrine. Fyah bun dem! more fyah! Ras TafarI is the only true God, there is no other.

In the Beginning was The Word,
and The Word was with God,
and The Word was God.
The same that was in the Beginning, all thingswere made by HIM
and without HIM was not made anything that was made.
In HIM was life and the life was the light of men.

Focus on what you are, not what you are not. You are not christian and you don't follow the Pope....leave it out of your faith - it serves no purpose there....and comes across as prejudice.

The same was in the beginning with God.
All things were made by HIM,
and without HIM was not anything made that was made.
In HIM was life; and the life was the light of men.
And the light shineth in darkness, and the darkness comprehended it not...
He was in the world, and the world was made by HIM, and the world knew it not...
He came unto His own, and His own recieved HIM not.
But as many as recieved HIM, to them gave He power to become the sons of God, even to them that believed in His Name:
which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

WE IN ETHIOPIA HAVE ONE OF THE OLDEST VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE, but however old the version may be, in whatever language it might be written, the Word remains one and the same. It transcends all boundaries of empires and all conceptions of race. It is eternal.

========================
In I view, the Bible is not the source of RasTafarI Livity and is not necessary for I and I trod, it only speaks about the Livity. The source of RasTafarI Livity is the Creator and the Livity was there long before the Bible or any religion was formed. The Bible is a book that shows how people lived and thought at a certain time, it shows both righteousness and unrighteousness. RasTafarI Livity can be found in the Bible and people can start to learn about RasTafarI Livity when they learn to see which actions and thought written about in the Bible are of the Iriginal Livity of Righteousness. Also, the Iriginal Livity of Righteousness can be found written about in the guidance books of most ways of Life, and also just as in the Bible, most other books also show the misunderstandings of the people. And without books, the Iriginal way of Creation was passed down from generation to generation by people teaching their children, but just as with the books, it was mixed with people's misunderstandings. The Iriginal way of Creation is in each and every one of us, most just resist that part of us that guides us in Right, and also learn to ignore the rebuke and correction from that same part of us when we do wrong.

I can see why the people who decide to forsake the Bible do so, because they probably see as I have also seen how so many people use the Bible as an indoctrination tool, they use it to indoctrinate themselves into one of the churches; and among people who begin to sight RasTafarI, they end up using the bible to indoctrinate themself into the Ethiopian Orthodox faith. They put their concentration on the self-pacification they learned from the church, and stop concentrating on the purpose of RasTafarI people in these times, to perform the works of the seven seals and also to uplift Jah people. And in so many instances of this, the people eventually stop seeing RasTafarI as God, and many eventually even come to a point where they speak against Haile Selassie I.

And also on the other side, I have seen those who decide to forsake the Bible and focus on something else eventually stop seeing RasTafarI as God, and many eventually even come to a point where they speak against Haile Selassie I.

The original reasoning in this post was directed to what I hear from the second viewpoint, where people forsake the bible. And even though I don't think the bible is necessary, I also won't be silent when people speak about it like it is some kind of wickedness, because it is not that either. I look at the Bible for what it is, not what the churches use it for.

I focus is on the Iriginal way of Creation, to Learn what I have more to Learn and Rise Higher. I have learned much from the Bible, Haile Selassie I and from many other people and cultures, and I have also learned so much by thinking and searching I mind and Irits. I have never gone to an Ethiopian Orthodox Church because that is not I place, I Church is I people, whenever I and I gather together, I and I presence is the Church, and even when I and I are alone with Jah, I and I presence is the Church. If I ever enter a Church of the Religions, it is only as a visitor and representative of RasTafarI, I can never be under their control. Never forget that the root of the word religion is the french word religare, which means to bind (tie up) quickly.

As I wrote in the post below:
-------------------------------------------
The Bible is a great and useful resource to Learn the way of Jah, but I and I can learn Jah way without reading the Bible or anything else.

The thing is, whether or not it is learned from the Bible, the Livity and Heights will be one and the same, because it is the Iriginal way.

If people learn the example of His Majesty from other people telling them about HIM, then they will still learn the Right Path, even though they didn't read the Bible. Also, if people learn the example from other people who know the example of the Most High, then they will learn it same way.

I am speaking about the source and center, Jah RasTafarI Haile Selassie I. The Livity that always was there for I and I to Live, the Livity shown in the Bible and shown by the example of His Imperial Majesty Jah RasTafarI.

In reference to being God. People must realize that God is One. So to be God, I and I must join with the Most High as One, otherwise we will be fooling ourselves with our vain imagination. We can never be God separate from Selassie I, there is not two or more, there is only One God, One Head, and anything separate from the Head is not.
