Refusing teachings is refusing the word is refusing H.I.M. Accept ALL of H.I.M. not what fits your worldly view.

We back on this subject den? Can't be a rasta if you don't bow to bible? Lol ok

I am saying I am higher than teachings alone. Some Rasta never read any book and still reach a heights whe most man entrapped in doctrine could never reach

Religion has NOTHING to do with African liberation. Most of Africa is not CHRISTIAN, Wha unno Wha fe do? Convert dem like any other european missionary?

Haile Selassie I
Just like Garvey

They both Put dem religion aside for African liberation. If you can't overs that being the central theme to this black liberation trod then you may be lost.

SEEING AS RASTAFARI ISNT A RELIGION, AND YOU HELLBENT ON THE CARBON COPY THING..... WHY NOT FOLLOW HIS TEACHINGS ALL THE WAY AND NOT PARTIAL AND STOP CHANT RASTA AND START JOIN THE ORTHODOX CHURCH AS HIS MAJESTY DID. HIS MAJESTY TEACHINGS DID NOT HAIL HIS MAJESTY AS THE ALMIGHTY.......

It would be an honor of honors to be christened in the EOC as Berhane Selassie is.

Then please do so.

They do not see HIM as the almighty. Many have had to cut their locks to join as it has been a prerequisite. And if you tell them about Haile Selassie a God them will rebuke you.

Please do. Left Rastafari black liberation army and join a religion

"You don't have to agree. The point im making is that the beliefs of a man do not make him any more or less Rastafari. It's a livity, under African consciousness"

H.I.M is my religion.
H.I.M. Qedamawi Halie Selassie: "One cannot deny that in former times man's life had been one of toil and hardship. It is correct to say, therefore, that modern civilization and the progress of science have greatly improved man's life and have brought comfort and ease in their trail. But civilization can serve man both for good as well as for evil purposes. Experience shows that it has invariably brought great dividends to those who use it for good purposes while it has always brought incalculable harm and damnation to those who use it for evil purposes. To make our wills obedient to good influences and to avoid evil, therefore, is to show the greatest wisdom. In order to follow this aim one must be guided by religion. Progress without religion is just like a life surrounded by unknown perils and can be compared to a body without a soul. All human inventions, from the most primitive tool to the modern atom, can help man greatly in his peaceful endeavours. But if they are put to evil purposes they have the capacity to wipe out the human race from the surface of the earth. It is only when the human mind is guided by religion and morality that man can acquire the necessary vision to put all his ingenuous inventions and contrivances to really useful and beneficial purposes."

H.I.M Qedamawi Haile Selassie: "These young people face a world beset with the most effectively organized programme of deceptive propaganda and of thinly screened operations ever known." I ALWAYS look through political smoke screens to the REALITY of the controllers of this system. That is the best way to fight it.

A man is not a religion and if your claiming so the Religion of HIM disagrees with you. You have a comprehension difficulty ..... This is a clear 'double standard' il try explain one last time

You say: I follow ALL the everything of HIM
I say: African liberation > religion and HIM showed this
You say: I follow what he did to the T
I say: HIM had a religion... It's called EOC

You now say: I don't need to follow ALL the teachings of the religion of HIM.

Lol, wasn't that my point?

If you found out that HIM sometime ate meat would you stop Ital?

Man stop it. You have no power or place to tell black people searching for them liberation in the name of Rastafari.... That them have to inna inna the bible. Rasta don't have to agree on no form of belief. Belief don't make any ras higher Dan a Nex ras.

I dont believe I said that I follow his teachings perfectly or that everyone has to follow H.I.M as I do. However, I did say that being baptized in the EOC as Berhane Selassie did would be an honor of honors. The two are NOT opposite, EOC and 'Ras Tafari' go hand in hand. To be a Christened Ras Tafari as Bob Marley -- Berhane Selassie -- and many others would be an honor of honors.
