Now I'd ask you to again rethink your phrasing and use of the words 'Christian Nation' which set this whole reasoning on a tangent. A Christian Nation would surely be a nation who's official religion is Christianity? I have direct evidence -on Ethiopian currency - to show the official religion of Ethiopia at LEAST up into the 3rd century was dealing with the SUN and MOON, +not a cross. Archeological anthropological sociology - a personal hobby.

Also, Candace is a GENERIC term used for any African Queen - Candaces all around Africa.

As I don't see any 'Candace' on the List of Ethiopian monarchs published by His Majesty himself I am wondering what you are using as a reference for this Queen of Ethiopia?

Monophysitism vs Duophysitism. Apollinarism. Nestorianism.

=The roots of Christianity (and Islam) are based in the different beliefs of Jesus. Including the belief that he was strictly Human (and not God).

My only point is, there is and never has been one way of interpreting spirituality. When people and their religious scripts start demonising and persecuting and cursing people just because they hold a different system of spirituality or divine interpretation ; this is a problem. When these differences oppose the life example (not individual beliefs) of Haile Selassie, who we now see as God. The problem is even bigger. To touch on us seeing Haile Selassie as God - the religion HE believed in did not give us this reality, so why ones keep on using that in their counter arguments is beyond me.

________________________________________

ZionMtn - the way you twisted that was very clever. I like that alot, you say even if Ethiopia is the foundation of Christianity (which i disagree), Christianity is not the foundation of Ethiopia.

Yeah, that one's powerful my Lord. Powerful.


IyahOats - a few Christians in a Country is quite different to that country becoming a 'Christian Nation.' It is generally accepted the EurAsian area of Armenia was the first to adopt it as their official religion. Many countries - not just Ethiopia - have stories of apostles and other 'holy' men bringing Christianity from as early as 1 AD. This is usually speculative and subjective. But my point again, this is different to becoming a 'Christian Nation.'

There are many sources that claim Ethiopia was the first nation to except Christianity. The source that I have been quoting from is here:

"CHRISTIANITY is not the root of Ithiopia" Never said it was, though Christianity has been rooted in Ithiopia 's history for 2000 years. Is the I trying to separate Christianity from Ithiopia? Make them 2 where they are one?

If you wanna bun what I and I Father held dear in His heart, that is your choice. I have grown weary of all this. Maybe go argue your disdain for the Bible on an atheist forum. That is what all this talk has reminded I of; all the same talk I hear from the atheists. G.A. even posted some atheist propaganda, from atheist sources.

I see many Rasta don't agree with Muta; Muta always arguing with other Rasta about Bible, Hebrew, Christian.

When Selassie speak it's about unity; and He speaks to the many peoples of many religions. I see people quoting Muta, to backup their disdain for the bible, only causing divisions.

Yes I the circle of argument, I see it and so I've kept quite on many posts. I say this and so you say that; you say that and so I say this. I'm gunna break I part in the cycle right here, right now, and move onto more fruitful reasonings.

More love and more life,
Iyah Oats

Garveys Africa, the I said, "I also think you agree with me much more than you may know". I do sight from the Reasonings that we are in agreement on multiple things. It is the way you communicate your message that sometimes bothers I. A person can point out things in the Bible that should rightly be questioned, without mocking the Bible or being condescending towards people who read the Bible, as if they are lower than you because they still find value in the Bible. I don't know if you somehow can't see that you come off that way, but you do. Even though the I has expressed that you recognize that the Bible has some good teachings, and you still respect people that deal with the Bible, the way you communicate makes it appear that you don't. Sometimes when you say something in a positive light, immediately after, as part of the same thought, the I says something negative. This has the effect of almost negating the positive thing you said, and even makes the negative statement have a worse effect than if it was just said alone. That is just one example of the kind of things you do that will give the I harsh responses instead of a listening ear.

When I Reason, I don't want to just blow breath. If I words will not be at least processed, than it would be better to spend I energy on something else. So I think about who I am speaking to when I speak, and their state of mind, their mood, whether they are in a defensive state, and any other relevant factors, so I can express Iself in a way that they will hear it and not just close their ears.

Haile Selassie I shows by his Example, Teachings and the laws he passed that He can think outside of the Bible, and has carried the Good in the Bible into His Ways, but doesn't follow any wicked or foolish examples. Even though Haile Selassie I Lives so, he still speaks so highly of the Bible, and even calls it the rallying point of all humanity. And when you insult or belittle people who glory in the Bible, it feels like an insult to Haile Selassie I. I know that this is not your intention, but that is how your approach will be perceived by many.

People I insult or the text? I hear what u say you know, and give thanks. Passion begets niceties sometimes. When dealing with ancient concepts and misconceptions the fire is the leading force. Also sometime the best way to respond to fire is with fire. From both sides.

Yet still, when shown a calm hand and sound reason, one hopes this will only attract a humbled response , even if a disagreement.

For future replies, from all of the I dem; I only ask that ones would acknowledge this is the Burn Bible and JC thread. Not a thread to change Garveys Africa views; nor disrespect Rasta elder, none Christian African culture, or anything of that sort. If this doesn't resonate with you, hit the many other threads in which the bible is unquestionably glorified. BalAnce.
