Yes, Ras, I would suggest also reading all the things that the Catholics consider "heretical" These books are being intentionally kept from us. For what reason, I do not fully know. There must be a reason, however, that these "heretical" books are so hard to find. So, I am eventually going to have a small library (when funds permit) and heve in it everything from EOC Bible, Kebra and Fetha Nagast, The Key of Solomon, The Nostic Teachings, Gospel of Mary, etc... Anything I hear that the "church" considers "evil"--these are the things I want to read.
Now, don't misunderstand me.. I do not follow just anything that is non-Catholic... but I would like to educate I-self on all things, not just what people say is ok for me to know. The Roman Catholic Church seems to exist only to keep people from learning the truth. They preach sickening things, about "Jesus" -a made up name -and lead people away from who this Man truely is. They make this so-called "Jesus" to be this all-powerful god... But they are not even praising the Biblical Messiah, instead they praise a white man with brown hair and blue eyes (the picture of a former Roman Poop) and more so, they glorify His death on a cross... Why do they pick the name "Jesus" if we know it was more like "Yeshweh"? Names do not translate, you know? "Ras Tafari" is not an english name, but it is pronounced "Ras Tafari" in english, spanish, japanese, etc.... Why is thier symbol a cross (and dead man on it) when, for example, Yeshweh used a fish symbol to represent life? Could they not think of anything better than a cross (which is similar to a guillotene -pardon the spelling - or a gun, or electric chair) They could not use a symbol to glorify His life?
I am going off on a tangent... My advice on the subject at hand: educate the I-selfs... Learn to overstand what they want you to understand, get me? Accept no limits as to what you read and learn.. but make sure you ask Jah for help and guidance, as it is needed to OVERstand things. Without Jah guidance, this knowledge will become confusing and cluttered in ones mind.
I hope my ramble was helpful to someone, in some way.
Respect and Love
