Why do some Rastas reject the Bible since our belief of the Holy lineage and prophecy of H.I.M come from the Bible and Revelations? Give thanks.

The God of Israel calls himself God and David has a root before even Biblical Adam.

But on earth he understands He is in human flesh. In heaven He's God, so is he on earth, God in flesh.

Didn't you say to be careful of anyone who call themself God?

Messenger: John I.S. Sent: 11/18/2015 6:32:34 AM

All I have to say on that. For the other statements I cant believe until they are proven by Jah. Emperor Haile Selassie I Jah authorised the bible by his own lips. Truth that. Blessed love for ever and ever.

Have some understanding first, then seek I and I will tell you what I know.

Messenger: John I.S. Sent: 11/18/2015 6:34:36 AM

As for now am cutting short my reasoning with you. Blessed love.

He authorised a translation. He did not write the Bible neither did he claim literalism neither did he claim to be Bible God neither did he claim his origin starts with any biblical character

Emperor Haile Selassie I the First: "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."

Exactly. Give thanks The words do not stay the one and the same in any translation at all. That's point of a revision. So when he says the Word we know he doesn't mean the literal text. He is talking about his interpretation of the message from the myths and allegories within the text. Which is one and the same. Probably as he knows it is one and the same from that of which it was plagiarised, Nile Valley original
