Greetings Benjahmin, Bless up and Mis Ganna for the response concerning my enquiry. I-man, knowing Iself to be Rasta had serious questions and issues with the Orthodox Jewish brethen InI been reasoning with...on this issue and others. To complicate matters, the brethen is dark-skinned, wears locks, has taken the Nazarene vow...but also says he is a Messianic-Jew. So Ini dun really know what to make. No doubt this brethen is very wise, knowlegable but at the same time I think he may be confused and narrow-minded. Of all the reading InI done so far, no where have I read about these alleged abuses of HIM toward the Beta-Israelites. It does not make sense to me that HIM Selassie I would go out of his way to harm these people...especially considering that they were of the same lineage...the 12 lost tribes, Jacob, Issac, Abraham, Yeshua, David, Solomon... I agree with you that they, were and are in fact, probably part of the original Israelites...I have heard that they are of the lost tribe of Dan. Very confusing to me why other Jews would not accept the Beta-Israelites. As for the brethen InI been reasoning with, I think he is moving farther and farther from Rastafari toward Judaism. For InI, HIM was human but of divine lineage and he did good and he set example of how to live life with Jah...just like Yeshua Christos did before.
Give thanks again for the posting,
Jah Bless
Joseph I
