Blessed love Iyah,
There are many great teaches that come from the bible which is why I believe that His Majesty wanted His people to read it. But the Bible in itself is over whelming with some serious contradictions that need to be recognized, and then a person can take the teaching without the dogma and doctrine which has bound down the rights of many people, mostly women. Ti implore you to take a look into the teachings of Zoroaster and Mithras and you will see that all of these same teachings are applied. There is a basic concept or a law, that has been written in the soul and heart of every one, but some peoples minds are so dirty they can't see it. Israel is just as holy as Ethiopia, not as ancient, but none the less it is none greater. Why would God call one place holier than another? Didn't Rastafari create every place? What makes one place holy? Because when one place is considered holy another is considered unholy, but it isn't the land that is holy, it must be the people that are holy that makes the difference, and judging by the way things are going in that country I am not sure if holy is all togehter an appropriate word. And as far as a chosen race of God, what is that? Why would God have a chosen, because that creates an unchosen. This concept perpetuates the idea that the supreme being has some kind of agenda for itself. Rastafari is omnipresent and everloving and forgiving as our Father. I don't know if any of you are parents, except rock, but think about when your child does something wrong and you punish him/her, do you punish them and set them on fire or torture them? Is this the kind of God that you see everyday in the creation of this life? I certainly hope not.
Ras Zion I
