I would have put this in the lounge but this is religion. Once again here it is: "Bikaaz a da somting ya ebribadi huu hier disya fi-Mi Wod an huu dweet fieba laka-se wan kleba smadi huu en wuok fi-im huom pan rakstuon. An rien en faaldong an korint en kom an win en bluo an dem en shub dat-de...

Just got to put my props in for Rastafarianism. One Love CanuckRasta Lij Marques B.

InLove, Just wondering what Bob Marley lyrics did you replace?? One Love CanuckRasta Lij Marques Benjamin My thoughts on the article: First, I must take issue with this statement: “Growing numbers of Rastas have entered Christian churches and taken Jesus as their Savior while continuing a...

Interesting question. One Love CanuckRasta Lij Marques Benjamin http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2003/132/31.0.html Could Rastas and Christians Really Unite? There's more in common than you might think, but some factors keep adherents wary of one another. Hundreds of Rastafarians came...

Well, I used this quote at a different forum on the same topic so... "Life and Jah are one in the same. Jah is the gift of existence. I am in some way eternal, I will never be duplicated. The singularity of every man and woman is Jah's gift. What we struggle to make of it is our sole gift to...

I cannot accurately say whether or not your tribe is correct. This table was developed by a Rasta leader as a result of a vision. How the tribe was decided per month was first born son of Israel (Reuben) was given first month of Hebrew calendar etc. I also have data for each tribe from the...

http://www.rastafarian.net/tribetab.htm Just wanted to know what everyones tribe is. By the way to be totally accurate, you have to use your birthdate according to the Hebrew calendar. One Love CanuckRasta

Guys, this is Knowledge. I should know, I spent months with him on a Rasta forum. He routinely had 500 Rastas after him with the same complaints. He is like a pendulum. At times, he may be very helpful, or he could be disrespectful and pushy. One Love CanuckRasta

Knowledge, that original post looks familiar...lol. One Love CanuckRasta Lij Marques Benjamin LIJETHIO Representative for Canada

I give thanks for the info, bananabrain. The Ethiopian Imperial Family does maintain some symbolic control over the Rastafari faith. That said they do not dictate theology or doctrine, they assist with organizations such as the Ethiopian World Federation and other bodies that allow for...

bananabrain, I'd have to agree with that it seems they didn't really know about Judaism, they really didn't know a whole lot about Rastafari either. Everyone, and I mean everyone who writes in academic paper on Rasta generalizes. All Rastas believe something different. Anyways, I would be...

Truthseeker, technically Selassie was not a Jew because as I understand it that is past down from the female side. His mother was Muslim. bananabrain, there are three articles written about Jews and Rastas at: http://debate.uvm.edu/dreadlibrary/ebardfield.html...

The Prince of Peace Okay, let's move on to Isaiah 9:6. "For unto us a child is born, for unto us a son is given; and the government will be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called wonderful, counselor, Mighty King, Everlasting father, Prince of Peace." For this passage I am attaching...

Also: "Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there." - Psalm 87:3-4 http://web.syr.edu/~affellem/nyah.html Selassie is Jah for all people, because...

Okay, let's start back at Rev 5:5. Couple this passage with Rev 19:16. You get Christ returning as the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conguering Lion of Judah. Well maybe it is just a coincidence but since the time of Menelik the First, Ethiopian Emperors have always held the same title as the...

I sorta figured the thread would move, no problem. Here is why I changed my mind with regards to debating the divinity of His Imperial Majesty. On Rastafarian forums, this is a fairly common debate. We get a fair number of Christians dropping in who eventually bring up this issue. I, myself have...

Thanks for the answer. You have a great explanation there. I do have a couple questions: First, will Christ come again as Christ?? Will that be his name or will he come as a "Great King... my name is dreadful among the heathen" - Malachi 1:14 Additionally, what Tribe of Israel did Jesus...

"And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof." - Revelation 5:5 (KJV) So, how will Christ be recognized when he returns?? What does the above passage mean, refer...

You are welcome, Truthseeker. If you have any questions feel free to ask. One Love CanuckRasta

Wow, I never even saw this thread. Great stuff. Besides the Kebra you should also look into it's sister scroll, the Fetha Nagast. Rasta is usually considered an identity/way of life. One does not necessarily have to believe in the divinity of RasTafari, but rather they have to feel a...
