Christ, The Christ. These words are not the source of confusion. The source of people's confusion is within themselves.
Selassie sometimes says Christ or Jesus Christ, so I don't have any issue saying the same. Haile Selassie I has come in a new name, so I don't feel the need to say Christ or The Christ when I refer to HIM. Saying RasTafarI, or Haile Selassie I works just fine for I.
I don't worry about people such as Young Lion. Those with ears to hear and eyes to see will Iverstand.
Many of the things Young Lion has said in the past and in recent times makes I think that he takes RasTafarI as a joke, or at most without seriousness. Here are some of the recent posts, I won't even bother about the past ones.

He has already turned away from Selassie I before and is contemplating turning away again. One thing I know and have said many times in the past is that RasTafarI will never leave RasTafarI, such a thing is impossible.
