Burn JC and Burn bible

Time Zone: EST (New York, Toronto)

Messenger: Nesta1 Sent: 3/13/2019 10:42:29 AM

"WE IN ETHIOPIA HAVE ONE OF THE OLDEST VERSIONS OF THE BIBLE, but however old the version may be, in whatever language it might be written, the Word remains one and the same. It transcends all boundaries of empires and all conceptions of race. It is eternal....And I might say for myself that from early childhood I was taught to appreciate the Bible and my love for it increases with the passage of time. All through my troubles I have found it a cause of infinite comfort. 'Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest'-- who can resist an invitation so full of compassion? Because of this personal experience in the goodness of the Bible, I was resolved that all my countrymen should also share its great blessing and that by reading the Bible they should find Truth for themselves. " --H.I.M. Haile Selassie ========================================================================================================================================== These are not statements designed to mislead or deceive; they are imbued with the sincerity of a man bearing honest testimony. I have followed the Teachings of Haile Selassie I for over four decades. It was His Majesty's spiritual leadership that cause me to reconsider Jesus Christ, from whom I had been alienated by organized religion as an adolescent. I was inspired by the integration of His Majesty's Wisdom & Teaching with the the Teachings of Jesus Christ. Together they form a moral basis which Babylon cannot defeat and upon which a RastafarI can build a solid foundation of Righteousness even in a heavily corrupted world.

De problem with nuff Idrens is dat dem are not in de trod fo cause of de trod. De cause of de trod was n still is to liberate Black people from physical, mental n spiritual bondage.

It (BIBLE) transcends all boundaries of empires and all conceptions of race. It is eternal.... There, G.A, thats that, there you have it. You can rant all you want, for all eternity, if you please. How futile. These words knock out the muta complete dead.

"Because of this personal experience in the goodness of the Bible, I was resolved that all my countrymen should also share its great blessing and that by reading the Bible they should find truth for themselves. Therefore, I caused a new translation to be made from our ancient language into the language which the old and the young understood and spoke." but G.A preaches (since he say it more than once) it was for political reason. So who's fooling who? Then H.I.M. Itinues and say... "Today man sees all his hopes and aspirations crumbling before him. He is perplexed and knows not whither he is drifting. But he must realise that the Bible is his refuge, and the rallying point for all humanity. In it man will find the solution of his present difficulties and guidance for his future action, and unless he accepts with clear conscience the Bible and its great Message, he cannot hope for salvation. For my part I glory in the Bible."

There has been RastafarI who burn things in Bible and such, I never denied this, nothing new to I. Problem is when you try and say Selassie dash fire on parts of the Bible, with no proof of such things. Your only example being your misunderstangs of the Bible and what H.I.M. did. Some RastafarI people chant down Bible. This is true and it's nothing new. JAH RastafarI, Haile Selassie never do such a thing, H.I.M. spoke only love for the Bible. This is true. Don't try to cause CONfusion. You can't change HIStory, Haile Selassie made sure His words and actions, the truth, has been written and recorded. Respect

Jahcub. Your sadly mistaken if you think Haile Selassie agrees with all parts of the Bible such as that which condones slavery and God-ordained invasion of other peoples lands as in the OT etc. Or with Jesus teachings of turning the other cheek or complete pacifism. I am aware Haile Selassie peofessed Cristianity. Haile Selassie also had discern and could differentiate right from wrong. These areas of the Bible in which his example shows disagreement show common sense and a Fire on biblical script. Even Jesus himself put fire on some of the older Jewish teachings. Fire isn't something to fraid of but a purification and purging Anyway.. At least you overstand there are Rastafari who don't deal with the Bible at all and are just as valid part of this trod as any next man. Ones who deny this validity of InI who burnt he bible are only lieing to themselves and need to know themselves before they talk I am not debating this with any of unuh This thread is for likeminded I Dem to put our feelings and reasoning questioning and 'burning'bible and Christian thought. As to keep it separate from the rest of the generally biblical website .. I not in any debate or discussion about this with Bible dreads HAILE I

Messenger: VoodooRuutzSent: 9/2/2014 12:28:40 PM "Still can't overstand how ones can talk this way about what H.I.M held dear in his heart, mind,and soul; demonize it and then say they follow H.I.M? CONfusion no matter how ya try justify this." Ones and ones in d West and other parts of d continent received bible in a much different way than HIM did! Many things HIM did in HIM life d example HIM show what make ones follow HIM not jus d belief HIM had of bible! Ones haffa have dey own reasoning ability also, if d I clearly read and supm CONtradicting or a plain lie d I go hold on to dat jus d one wha u follow hold it dear? Dat show you own weakness and not HIMbracing ones own Godness!  At d same time tho how can ones hold HIM as God/Creator/Yeshua and say they follow HIM when HIM was "ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN" and couldn't hold HIMself as such? HIM was taught by French Catholics yet one burn Catholicism and Pope and Rome but say they follow HIM. I point is one don't hafta hold ALL d se ideas and beliefs as one to a follower! Ones must of they own consciousness to rise to dey own higher self if only a follower then where is d growth, where is d Irit if a book a lead d way!!

I don't need to share the religion of I father (who states he is aware his path is not the only valid path) to Honor and follow I father. Or to see the divinity of I through him. For those who do, fine But I do not. Same with I mother who is Christian and I'm SURE the same with many of the I Dem parents who are not Rastafari and have different spiritual beliefs yet we I Dem follow their example righteously GUWEH with unuh argument. Cant be any clearer.
