9:30 that guy's not Orthodox. I've been to Tawehdo church. They certainly don't believe that Hailie Selassie was the second coming of Jesus. Hailie himself was a follower of Jesus and specifically said he was not Jesus.

Awesome, enjoyed your video. Thanks for sharing, jah bless!

Remember, Bob Marley himself was baptized in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church before his death.

It's a blessing up taller 🙏 Jah live

Interesting insights into an area often misunderstood by so many. Let's look at a few things covered in this documentary: 1. The name Jah is a name "all" Christians (regardless of denomination) should be identified/associated with (Psalms 68: 4). Weirdly enough only Rastafarians use this name...any guess. 2. Nazareen Vow: The abstinence of certain foods (meat etc) isn't a legalistic requirement given that Yeshua (Jesus) has satisfied the Creator's righteous requirement. In essence, Rastafari is the remarkable story of when a man became God but was always God from the beginning. We (72 nations) of the world gave our tacit approval that He, Qedamawi Haile Selassie 1 is the Almighty Creator of all things (Psalms 87). Ironically enough, we even made Him into the world's most decorated statesman in history (ref: Ethiopia Shall Stretch Forth Her Hands Unto God - Gregory Copley). The title comes from Ps. 68, which came to pass when He returned to His country on 5th May, 1936. Those who will judge/evaluate the 'life and times' of H. I. Majesty may well wonder (or reasonably ask themselves) is this God Himself? Our audience will have to reconcile whether there can be 2 'King of Kings and Lord of Lords'....I think most will resign and say not...unless the devine is the author of confusion?....A watch of: Haile Selassie 1 visits the Vatican 1970 ( KZfaq).....this is the "terror of truth". Nugget: Footage shows that the emperor choses the door of His choosing to enter. Is it because He is the door??...(you can decide). Questions are always welcomed!....Also, check out my latest reggae release on KZfaq 'Serious Times' (and much more!).

Love that garden tool. 19.19. Start exporting it please.😊 It's brilliant. Would a woman be able to use it? Normal strength type of woman? "LiVerty" is also good.

I'm from South Africa, I have many Rasta friends. Grew up on Bob Marley and other musical struggle icons from various genres and backgrounds (who my parents listened to during their years of struggle against the Apartheid regime). To me, I see Rastafarians as the 20th century equivalent of 21st century "Hebrew Israelites". Much like the 20th century "Nation of Islam" and "Black Muslims" as well, who I feel fall into the same category. These were sociocultural and sociopolitical reactionary movements formed during their respective eras in history. The children of the diaspora, confused, misguided, oppressed, and faced with a serious identity crisis, began creating their own. Afrocentric subcultures and/or countercultures is what it is, and what it was.

Bob marley was baptized in Ethiopia and christian before he died. Even Haile Selassie was a christian and said do not worship him.

Thank you 🙏🏾 🌸🪷

i think you could call it a type of "Gnostic Christianity"

Wow absolutely amazing ❤️💛💚

Hi I am from eastern part of Indian. When I came across the philosophy of rastaferi I connencted it within no time because this philosophy is well prevailed in India among the Indian sadhu. They are also strict vegetarian, live with nature, meditation, spiritual song, deadlock hair style(jata). Smoke ganja(Indian name of marijuana ) for higher spiritual connection. So many same. Rastaferrian philosophy was born in jamaica coming in contact with Indian immigrants (labour). You are invited to India and explore it

The carnal mind is death indeed because there will be no understanding in it.

Foolish ppl will always try and make rasta look crazy, if you actually pay attention you can see why they would believe in His Majesty, ppl tend to forget Christ did not tell his followers to worship him, and neither did His Majesty, ive had one dream of his majesty before i was thinking serious about rasta, and i was in high elevation surrounded by forest and a lake when i had this dream, there was nothing showing me that this dream was a false or demonic dream

Jesus said:Bofore Abraham was I AM. Selassie said:i am mortal. Sallasie was a king of a earthly nation. Jesus said my kingdom is not of this world. Selassie died and is still in the grave. Jesus died and resurrected because in Him is life eternal, unborrowed, underived. Jesus said: Matthew24:23¶Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before. 26¶Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. 27For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

I like this religion but I got to do more diggin

He also despite church opposition brought us the Al-Nejashi Quran 🤲☪️ from the Tigray Ethiopia

His majesty glory in the Bible, the defender of the faith, their is no “hidden” connection it is straight forward! Nah watah down and a lot of them jus don’t understand!

Song of Solomon 5:14-15 14 His arms are rods of gold, set with ljewels. His body is polished ivory,2 bedecked with msapphires.3 15 His legs are alabaster columns, set on bases of gold. His appearance is like oLebanon, choice as the cedars.

Be ye followers of me as Iam of Christ .Beautiful ❤

Just as Jesus was born and lived on earth. Explain to us then Isiaah 9: 6-7. Tell us who this person is and when, and where this took place. Also, where is the throne spoken of in Acts 2:30, can be found.

Look fi sky open yu hear

Look at him the lord

As Rastafarians, we must always be on guard against any kind of dogma determining the tenets of the Philosophy of RASTAFARI. In other words, we must be willing to examine the contents of our beliefs, the origin of our beliefs, the logic of our beliefs, and the probable truth or falsity of our beliefs. Three of the original tenets of the Rastafarian Movement were (1) the belief in the authority of the Bible as the word of God, (2) the belief in the Deity of His Imperial Majesty (HIM) Emperor Haile Selassie I, and (3) the concomitant notion that HIM was the reincarnation of the reputed Jewish rabbi commonly known in the English-speaking world as Jesus Christ and who as certain schools of thought insist could be the only true bearer of the title "King of Kings and Lord of Lords", together with all of the other epithets attributed to Jesus in the Bible. Now, as everyone knows, the Founding Fathers of the Movement, including Leonard Howell, Archibald Dunkley, and Joseph Hibbert were adherents of Christianity before becoming proselytes of RASTAFARI. A similar observation could also be made of The Right Honorable Marcus Mosiah Garvey and HIM. Other early Rastafarian leaders like Ras Boanerges, who founded the Order of the Nyabinghi, Prince Emmanuel, who founded the Bobo Shanti Order, and Vernon Carrington, who founded the House of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, also had a Christian upbringing. Meanwhile, as the history of the development of social movements shows, every social organization derives its genesis as an offshoot of the antecedent institution with which its members were previously associated. The same is true in the case of Judaism and Christianity, Christianity and Islam, Zoroastrianism and Buddhism, and all of the other great social institutions which have been in existence for millenniums. As a fledgling social movement that is barely 90-plus years young, RASTAFARI is still in the process of shedding its bonds with Judeo-Christianity and asserting itself as an institution that is more than just a radicalized black version of Christianity. While a wide cross-section of Rastafarians continues to hold on to the teachings of the original leaders, a growing number of Bredrens and Sistrens, like General Thau Thau and this commenter, have shown their willingness to take up the mantle and take the Movement to the next philosophical level. Accordingly, the present crop of Rastafarians is hardly satisfied to settle for any type of dogmatic belief, rituals, or practices. To the contrary, today's Rastafarians are determined to ground the Philosophy of RASTAFARI in logic and verifiable knowledge, rather than blind faith in the Bible and Christian theology. Thus, if one were to seriously consider that one of the attributes of GOD is His OMNIPOTENCE and if, as is generally intimated by detractors of the Movement, HIM had to plead with the Member States of the United Nations (U.N.) for help in crushing the Italian invasion in 1935, the question of whether HIM truly satisfies the conditions to be regarded as a Deity must come to the fore. And so, before one could conclude that HIM is GOD, the concept of GOD and the attributes of GOD must be sufficiently enunciated. And any entity that fails to satisfy the necessary conditions must' of necessity be ruled out from the category. Even so, when one considers the origin of the CHRISTOLOGICAL DOCTRINE, the profound influence that Christianity had on the early formation of the Movement, and the fact that HIM had made it clear that he wanted to have nothing to do with the claim that he is God, the proper place of HIM in the Movement should not be regarded as an Achilles heel in the Philosophy of RASTAFARI. Accordingly, if RASTAFARI is to avoid being a static copycat organization, such kinds of philosophical exercises must be brought to bear on the notion of the pre-eminence of the Bible, on the notion of Haile Selassie as the Black Christ, etc., etc. For it is only by allowing the Movement to develop in a dynamic manner that it would be truly worth being recognized as a dialectical synthesis of enlightened BLACK Thinkers, and as a philosophical vehicle for articulating the COLLECTIVE experiences, hopes, and aspirations of the AFRICAN People; as envisaged by HIM, Prophet Marcus, and so many others. Moreover, it is only by so doing that the NEW WORLD ORDER that HIM had so wholeheartedly espoused and had so eloquently outlined in his speech to the U.N. in 1963 could be actualized.

What's wrong with you. It is a fact that he's not in Tomb. So, not as Rasta call it. He is the King of kings, light of the World, Elect of God, Conquering Lion of Judah. Please do keep it straight. Blessed Love 💚💛❤️

Ras Tafari divinity got nothing to do what people think and feel. His Imperial Majesty is the Root of David, the Power of the Trinity, the Defender of the Faith and the governor of Peace. Rastafari is livity

GINO please respectfully accept this glimpse of the chosen and be still Amen and Amen Selah

There are no hidden connection between Ethropia were the 1st christian.

This dude is nuts

Haile Selassie was an orthodox Christian. He’s not Jesus. He was a blessed devout follower of our Lord

Who else saw lil Uzi vert

all gods are spirits...and they that worship must worship within that truth

Get the book Safe: How I Got Here by Sandra Rosetta Morris. Know His Imperial Majesty, our God and the only One God. 12:25

So sad That Haile Selassie wasnt mentioned because The truth will.offend the Fake Jews in Israel..Rastafari was from the Lineage of King solomon and King David of The real Israelites

Rastafari is a total spiritual-movement of JAH-JAH children bless Exodus bless

Rastafari ❤

Rastafari was a devout Christian & Defender of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Faith, he was a Descendant of King Solomon & Makeda, Queen of Sheba, making him both from the Line of David & the Line of Moses (Moses had an Ethiopian Wife in his youth as general of the Egyptian Army & Makeda's Royal Family came from that line) which means he was the Rightful Ruler, Custodian of God's Throne on Earth, holding the Scepter of Judah...He was a great Christian philosopher & a lover of life, liberty & human dignity, and should be treated as such by modern Christians, Jews & Rastas alike...and I'm not well-versed enough but I'd venture to say even Islam held the Throne of David in high esteem.

So, basically Rasta is living what Jesus stood for..? That’s why Rasta’s more a “lifestyle” and not a religion itself… Which most religious people don’t live “the way”… and I don’t say that with one iota of “hate” against anyone, mind you. I’m just telling it like it is. Unfortunately most don’t fully grasp or integrate what Jesus stood for… They look to and worship Jesus outside themselves. Instead of walking the walk and honoring the God within, in others and all life, like Jesus means to reveal. He lead by example… “For, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” “Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do because I go to the Father.” In other words when you understand and believe in what Jesus was capable of, you can do it also - and more - because it all stems from the Almighty Creator, and we are likewise creators, made in God’s image… That’s my two cents for what it’s worth, makes sense to me.

The lord rain man

I am Ethiopian: First, Ras does not mean Prince, Prince is Leul in Amharic. Ras is a title given to local leaders in the past. Second, do this guys know that Ras Teferi was a notorious slave owner, he never consider himself as black person and he can not be traced to david. Lastly, I would like to appreciate their connection to nature but they seem to be still enslaved by the ideas of their old masters, the idea of Hile Silasse seem to be imposed on them by their masters since 1930s, and they think he is their savior.

Rastafarianism is a cult of personality. It was debunked by Haile Selassie himself. "In a 1967 recorded interview with the CBC, Haile Selassie denied his alleged divinity. In the interview Bill McNeil says: "there are millions of Christians throughout the world, your Imperial Majesty, who regard you as the reincarnation of Jesus Christ." Haile Selassie replied in his native language: "I have heard of that idea. I also met certain Rastafarians. I told them clearly that I am a man, that I am mortal, and that I will be replaced by the oncoming generation, and that they should never make a mistake in assuming or pretending that a human being is emanated from a deity."

Christendom and Western Civilization's imprint on the world is so dark, and disturbing. The legacies and remnants still withstand to this day. Particularly in non-white communities. The fetal alcohol syndrome, the unemployment, all the addictions, the mass incarceration, the poverty, and so much more. Not only were cultures and communities disintegrated and destroyed, but so too were natural ecosystems.

Ras means Prince or Duke in Amharic a semitic language spoken in Ethiopian, Tafari is Haile Selassie name. Tafari Makonnen So Ras Tafari is Prince Tafari Also Jah is Yahwah....no J in the Aramaic/Amharic language Praise Yah=Praise Yahwah HalleluYah No name Jesus Christ that's greek/roman wrong interpretation... Yahshua means salvation/saviour. Yahshua HaMessiach a hebrew name HaMessiach the anointed one. He will come again. Dietary laws come from De.va.rim and Va.ik.ra = Leviticus and Deuteronomy = eat as in E'den. Fruit from the trees and food from the ground.

He told us His Son would be Crucified and He would be rejected. Africans must unite so the world can see peace. Come home to His Imperial Majesty. 18:37

Rastafar-I is the TRUE ay of Christianity, bc it follows both old and new testaments without question

If Sellaie is king of kings, why did he hide in England during WW2?

Yeah but stop calling them dreadlocks they are just locks. ❤

The original Christian was called nazarites we come from that tradition

His guide is American, and giving him "acceptable" truths, not true truths.

Jah Rastafari 🌴👄🚬

And you should of went to some Elders

I believe Rasta is the future. Remember it took 300 years from the time of Christ for Christianity to become the “religion of the realm.” Approximately 300 years from the coronation of HIM Haile Selassie is the Hebrew year 6000, the beginning of 1000 years of peace. The whole world will be Rasta.

Salasie was a believer he accepted jesus as his saviour how could he be jesus if jesus is his saviour.

Pronounce Hali Selasi and Rastafari correct.

Bob Marley converted to orthodox Christianity before he died. I’ll leave that with you….

Jah🙏🏿The true original Jews nd rastas are christians. one luv 🫶🏿

Hidden connection? 😂 nothing hidden about it. Rastafarians know the Bible like the back of their hand. Stop the cap.

Rasta is Christ Vibes

Not show Esau , please .

Hali salasi is not Jesus lol

Keep in mind that all Rasta’s don’t believe the same thing.

This white dude is so cringe

There is a wrong way and a right way.

RasTafari isn’t a movement or religion it’s a name he’s the the tru and living God The Most High Haile Selassie

I think it was story is going to be told it should be told by the true descendants of that particular culture not the oppressive class. That really disrespects the nationality the culture the religion obviously. When you learn about history and you're learning about different countries and different cultures it is inappropriate for somebody that has never been a part of that culture never been brought up in the grassroots of it to even tell the historical facts in my opinion 👀🥴🤦🏻‍♀️📽️📺

THE LORD GOD JESUS IS NOT A RELIGION

Tgey tell you rasta started like 120 years ago. Big lies. King david1 of scotland was a rasta king

Stop gazing into the sky fantasy and start looking into yourselves. For the kingdom of heaven comes not by observation. The kingdom of heaven is within you. Selassie I live.

IT IS NOT OF THE TRUE LORD GOD JESUS THE ONLY SAVIOUR OF THE WHOLE WORLD THERE IS NO OTHER GOD

LOL

JESUS IS GOD

NO, WE ARE NOT ALL GODS CHILDREN UNLESS WE ARE BORN AGAIN IN THE HOLY SPIRIT OF OUR LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST AND ONLY BELIEVE IN HIM THERE IS NO OTHER GOD THAT YOU CAN BE SAVED

WHAT A LOAD OF BULL

Not all ancient Rastafarai subscribe in to these biblical myth. Ancient Nyahbinghi chants elders could burn down the Bible

Haile Selassie I is the true and living God. The only God. Rasta was here, is here and will return. Bob Marley told us "JAH Live" 7:33

Horus was a God. Hercules was a God. Mithra was a God. Jesus was a God. Haile Selassie was a God. Lol. *None of the above is, or was, God,* *the son of God, a demigod or God incarnate.* Worship The Creator, not the created.

To our mother father source creator there is no religions, another thing saying love or unconditional love only comes when you respect and love all life , you killing and eating the animals that is not unconditional love for all life ,I will only say this once,all humanity have a soul however not all humanity have a soul connection, eating meat is a low frequency activity this alone shows clearly that you got no connection to you soul, eating meat is cannibalism eny meat what soever, you lot don't have body disciplines ,then you don't know that it's a inside job and not a outside job,Jesus is enki sky god,Christ mean consciousness in in all humanity,to say Selassie is the creator it proved how far away you are,there is only one man born birth name Rastafari he can show that on is birth certificate can any of you dread birth certificate shows you are Rastafari no,then you need to do some research on you self because if you say Selassie is the son of God as you call the name of source in your language terms who's son and who's daughters are you lot ,am waiting for the answer.

There is no connection. One is false the other isn't

Rastafari is a total spiritual-movement of JAH-JAH children bless Exodus bless
