RasTafarIWork,
"I don need no syndicate" - That's clever. Truth has never been a popularity contest. As a matter of fact, many times in history Truth has been proclaimed by a very few speaking people like voices in the wilderness. You've got it right: If one expresses contempt for Haile Selassie's self-professed core spiritual underpinnings, and one scoffs at & disdains his exhortations of Righteousness; then saying you follow RastafarI is like putting on a t-shirt with an image of H.I.M. silk screened onto it - you're a fan or groupie, but not a follower or a disciple. That's much is crystal clear.

I can think of no finer example of an exhortation to Righteousness by H.I.M. Haile Selassie I than His famous address to the United Nations in 1963 (excerpt below). In His well-known series of "until" statements, H.I.M. clearly articulates the steps that we, His faithful, must make integral to our lives & put to reality if we are to be key to achieving His "[D]ream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality"." Making these visions of His Majesty's a reality is the key to "the victory of good over evil" of which H.I.M. stated he was certain. Hence, until each one of us, faithful RastafarI, assures that in our own lives "the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes", there's no way to expect that the world around us will achieve this. Lead and teach BY EXAMPLE; this is what His Majesty was exhorting of us when he said that we must emulate the Life of Jesus Christ and that "all men do their maximum in their human efforts to see to it that they approximate as much as they can the good example that has been set by [Christ]."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"On the question of racial discrimination, the Addis Ababa Conference taught, to those who will learn, this further lesson:

that until the philosophy which holds one race superior and another inferior is finally and permanently discredited and abandoned;
that until there are no longer first class and second class citizens of any nation;
that until the color of a man's skin is of no more significance than the color of his eyes;
that until the basic human rights are equally guaranteed to all without regard to race;
that until that day, the dream of lasting peace and world citizenship and the rule of international morality will remain but a fleeting illusion, to be pursued but never attained.
And until the ignoble and unhappy regimes that hold our brothers in Angola, in Mozambique and in South Africa in subhuman bondage have been toppled and destroyed;
until bigotry and prejudice and malicious and inhuman self-interest have been replaced by understanding and tolerance and good-will;
until all Africans stand and speak as free beings, equal in the eyes of all men, as they are in the eyes of Heaven;
until that day, the African continent will not know peace. We Africans will fight, if necessary, and we know that we shall win, as we are confident in the victory of good over evil."
-- Haile Selassie I before the UN General Assembly, 1963

TRUTH:

If you express contempt for His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie's self-professed core spiritual underpinnings, and you scoff at & disdains his exhortations of Righteousness; then saying you follow RastafarI is like putting on a t-shirt with an image of H.I.M. silk screened onto it - you're a fan or groupie, but not a follower or a disciple.

I'm putting the fire out on this thread. Yes the bible and Jc bring confusion, I agree. But the most confusion that we all can bring to ourself is battling a pointless fight that neither side know the truth about the world.

Everyone got a destiny. Look more into that destiny of yours to find your purpose.

If we keep burning JC and the bible then we are only using are energy the way Babylon want us to used it. Stop! It doesn't make any sense anymore.

In my previous thread I talked about Chakra. Not everyone can master the full potential of it. That's because not everyone are destined to used it.

To have more of a sense of it, let me explained

Everything got a source of energy in it. (Statues, the sun, pictures, and of course the actual Creator ) The actual Creator give such a great power to chosen people. But other energy like the sun, statue, mother nature, spirits, etc... give energy too. This is why when people that worship these other type of energy feel like that these type of energies are Gods. But they are wrong, because only the actual Creator can give such a power to chosen people. If you go astray, yes you might find a hidden power from another source, but no other source can give you a greater power then the actual Creator. Witchcraft and dark magic falled in its own category of sources of energy that some people seek from

No matter how much the bible deceived the actual truth of mankind, the bible still reveal sudden things that only the gifted ones can see. It say in the bible "There's only one God", the reason I quote this, is because if you think more deeper, thinked about other spirits that can give energy just to have people to worship them as a God. These sprits will get label as false Gods.
This is where religion get divided. Many energy of sources tricking the mind of Jah children's.

But either way it doesn't matter because Judgment time will come for the ones in the Spirits and for the ones that are walking among us that are tricking Jah children's.

Jesus? What I do know, his name probably wasn't Jesus, but their was a man like him.

I been stop adding the name of Jesus or the bible in my spirituality, because it's hard to seek power of strength from these sources. But it doesn't mean that I must burned these things that got hidden truth between it.

Jah as the Creator and Jah Jah as Haile Selassie I is what my source of power I used.

Look into yourself and seek the actual Creator and you will find the truth of it all.

Astrology, are also signs but can also be oppressing mankind. But if you have the eye to see through these things you can figured it all out. Haile Selassie I The Conquering Lion birthday is July 23rd. His zodiac sign is a Leo, which symbolize a lion. Used your head. Mankind destiny is already decided. But who will bring the thunder? As a Libra I am. The scale of judgment, of words will make everybody wake up! I dedicate my life to Jah, and only to serve him. I swear I'm going to bring changes.

Oh yeah Nesta a different name for black supremacy will be B.L.U (Black Love Unite)
Even if it takes for us to start from scratch... Living all together in one house to bring back that one love that we are missing in the black community. That Black Love will unite this whole world.

Only Jah a Christian.
There's a book I once read, The Real Abyssinia, by Charles Fernand Rey. He was an american journalist who had travelled to Ethiopia for accademic reasons. By invitation, he got to meet Negus Tafari in His office. In the book there is a chapter entitled Ras Tafari. The chapter dwells on the person of Tafari as the author witnessed.
If I remember correctly, he takes the saying that 'Aethiopia is an island of christianity in a sea of heathen' further, and observes that in his country, Tafari is the Island of christianity in a ethiopian sea of heathen. Such a long prose before he came to his concussion. That was the author's claim. He ment to show the conviction and commitment of Selassie I to His Faith.
Am not in position to access the text i could have posted it already. My point is, Selassie I all His life commited Himself to the Christian Faith. I get assuarance in this. So no matter what they do or say, I have I Mentor, I look up to HIM. I shall not remove.
Just like the tree that is planted by the waters, I shall not remove.

All good points, Rasmi. The essence being that there's no need to disparage the sacred spiritual mythologies and personages of others -- if they don't world for you, go another direction, but there's no need to blaspheme what's sacred to another person (especially, in this case, when that just happens to be what is also most sacred to Haile Selassie I). No need for the negativity of this thread, I concur.

Whether Christian or not, there's much Wisdom to be learned from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount (especially when we consider Haile Selassie's exhortation that we emulate the life of Jesus Christ). If one finds the personage of Jesus off-putting or does not favor the concept of salvation through Christ, one can simply learn from the Wisdom offered without concerning themselves with attribution. An atheist can learn & derive Wisdom from these passages without the need to feel any sense of reverence for Christ, just as someone who knows nothing of RastafarI and the divinity of Haile Selassie I can learn from His Majesty's teachings .
[I personally find some of the hyperbole and marital legalistic content of Matthew 5:27-32 off-putting so I just set that aside and savor the rest. No need to throw out the baby with the bath water.]
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MATTHEW 5-7 (SERMON OF THE MOUNT)

5:
1 And seeing the multitudes, he went up into a mountain: and when he was set, his disciples came unto him:

2 And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

10 Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake.

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.

13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.

15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.

16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.

18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

21 Ye have heard that it was said of them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment:

22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.

25 Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison.

26 Verily I say unto thee, Thou shalt by no means come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing.

27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:

28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.

29 And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.

31 It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:

32 But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.

33 Again, ye have heard that it hath been said by them of old time, Thou shalt not forswear thyself, but shalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths:

34 But I say unto you, Swear not at all; neither by heaven; for it is God's throne:

35 Nor by the earth; for it is his footstool: neither by Jerusalem; for it is the city of the great King.

36 Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

37 But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than these cometh of evil.

38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:

39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.

41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.

43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy.

44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;

45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?

47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

6:
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:

4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.

5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

9 After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

10 Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

11 Give us this day our daily bread.

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

13 And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

14 For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

16 Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

17 But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face;

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly.

19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:

20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

22 The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!

24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.

25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?

27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:

29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?

32 (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.

34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

7:
1Judge not, that ye be not judged.

2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again.

3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?

5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:

14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?

17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.

19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.

21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.

28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
