Cool it Zion Mountain.
Whatever the man has come speaking, I and I should know better than to call a man a pig, especially a Muslim man, because they take that just as seriously as I and I, and Haile I teaches love and Raspect, no matter what God a man praises.
In response to the main point the I is trying to make Sandrasta, of course Haile Selassie I is a human. Him being human does not change anything I and I know about the Most High, if anything it only fills I and I with greater Ifidence. I and I know that a Man who is living in Oneness with the ways of God, is a living, breathing Manifestation of God in flesh. Haile Selassie I is a Man who's ways are in perfect Oneness with the Most High, and His life and work is the purest testimony to this, besides the many and varied prophesies made around the time of His birth in Ethiopia, in the Bible, and even in the Qur'an. By living in His example and continuing His works in this time, I and I bring I and Iselves closer and closer through the practice and discipline of RastafarI Livity to walking the same path of Godliness and Manifesting His works on earth.
I and I know both Yahshua of Nazareth (Jesus) and Mohammed (PBUH) as real, living and breathing people, although undoubtedly the I will come across those within RastafarI who would ignorantly dismiss both.
I and I do not see 'heaven' and 'hell' as separate from this Earth. There are those in this world who live in a living hell of poverty, violence, war and downpression. What I and I seek is the establishment and building of Zion (heaven) here on earth so that mankind may no longer suffer under the yoke of downpression. Judgment is not con-fined to a day, but executes in its due time on everyone who allows their ways to stray into downpression of others.
I have to shed light however on the I's claim that Africans are naturally Muslims and were before trans-atlantic slavery, because that is a false claim. Islam has been present in Africa since Mohammed sent some of his first followers to seek refuge from the Christian Negus of Ethiopia, and while some African Muslims were no doubt taken into slavery by Europeans, there is and always has been great diversity of faiths, religion and tradition in Africa, and Islam is actually relatively new to the scene. RastafarI actually comes more as a fulfillment of Incient African Iceptions of 'God' and divinity stretching back to Kemet, Nubia, Kush and Ethiopia, where it was fully acknowledged that man (and woman)kind is divine and inseparable from the Most High. These ideas actually form the basis and roots of all the so-called 'Abrahamic' faiths of Christianity, Islam and Judaism.
I pray that answers the I's questions.
Blessed love
