I concede you have several points. But the author was a Nyahbinghi, and they do believe that anyone can be God. I found a link that I thought would be interesting: http://www.rastafarian.net/tribetab.htm To be official you go by the Hebrew month not the Roman month. For example, I was...

Great link, Dauer. Especially liked the article on the Ark (loved how they mentioned the Kebra Nagast). CanuckRasta

Thanks for the info. CanuckRasta

Could someone provide me with some guidance on the Black Jews of Ethiopia?? Why are they not considered part of the Jewish community?? http://robtshepherd.tripod.com/falasha.html Thanks, CanuckRasta

I have been Rasta from creation. CanuckRasta

I am attaching a reasoning on this from a wise Rasta idren of mine. You see, H.I.M. spiritually and H.I.M. physically are two different things. He does not emanate from the deity. He emanates to the deity. CanuckRasta

I wish it were that easy. His mother died when he was only two and his father, I believe, did not live to see his son crowned (Selassie ascended to the throne at 38, after nearly twenty years of political games). Also, he did not fulfill the prophecy until he was crowned. There is little...

This probably isn't wanted but Ras Pidow gave a great reasoning on Melchizidek. I can do a translation if needed. Ras Pidow: Glory to Word, Glory to Sound, Glory to the Most High Jah Rastafari Yes Haile I Selassie I, He is de owner-founder of Sun Moon and Stars, Man Woman and Children. Green...

Sort of. The letter is fairly important from psycological standpoint. For example, pronouns are often replaced with "I and I" (shortened to InI). The phrase essentially came about because there is no you, no me there is only InI. It also said to mean the speaker and Jah. Another time I is...

Okay, first let me go back and readdress dauer's question (this is a response from a rasta idren of mine, thanks FiyahBun): "Blessed Love No human can contemplate the infinite absolute spirit. I and I can only see it in a relative way. In order for I to get a glimpse into this divine nature...

It is a more structured form of Jamican Patois (Patwas). Often Rastafarians will replace the beginning of words with an "I". In this case Selassie I bless continually and/or eternally. CanuckRasta

Visitor, check out my Rastafarianism thread in the Monotheism forum. Selassie I Bless Itinually. CanuckRasta

Greetings, Master Vigil, I am glad you asked. I am going to cover the events that led to the beginning of the movement (i.e. the prophecy of Marcus Garvey that you mentioned) and then summarize some Biblical passages believed to refer to Haile Selassie. A Trinitarian Christian, Marcus...

Greetings, dauer, you have a great question. It is complex and hopefully I can answer it. I will also post it on the rasta forum(s) I am on; the idren (brethren) and sistren should find an answer for you which I will post here. Eventhough JAH was for a time physically on this earth (1892 -...

Here is my guide to Rastafari beliefs. Key Figures Haile Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopia (1930 – 1974), Marcus Garvey, Dr. Vernon “Prophet Gad” Carrington, Prince Emmanuel Charles Edwards, Leonard Howell, Joseph Hibbert. Key Beliefs/Concepts - His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie the First...

Thanks for the irie (positive) welcome!! I have two questions: First, should I start a thread explaining Rastafarianism, and if I did which forum would it be?? I am thinking the General Monotheism forum, but I don't know. Also if I could a sense of what people know about Rastafarians that would...

Just wondering, has anyone read the Kebra Nagast?? CanuckRasta

Greetings, As you may gather from my user name, I am a Rastafarian in Canada. I do not know if there are other Rastas on the forum, but hopefully if there is we can reason together. I hope to gain some wisdom and knowledge, and give some as well. CanuckRasta
