    "The love shown in Christ by our ? to mankind should constrain all of us who are followers and disciples of Christ to do all in our power to see to it that the Message of Salvation is carried to those of our fellows for whom Christ Our Saviour was sacrificed but who have not had the benefit of hearing the good news. Since nobody can interfere in the realm of ? we should tolerate and live side by side with those of other faiths."

    Aight, I don't believe that Haile Selassie is in any way, shape or form the incarnation of Christ. There is only one Jesus Christ. I actually thought he was Christian because he believed in Christ but to put him in Christ shoes shows that either the Rastafarians are falsely misled by the anti Christ or they mistook the wrong messiah when he never said he was Christ.

    And why worship Tafari Mokonnen when they could have worship Ras Mokonnen or any of his other descendants. He created a name for himself calling himself the trinity with Selassie but there's only 1 Messiah that died on the cross for my sins and that's Jesus Christ.

    I was just curious as to what this belief is and the women are beautiful.

    Haile Selassie I was a Christian and he never claimed to be the Christ.............

    The titles were bestowed on him by the Ethiopian church along with "His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, King of Kings and Elect of ? ," girmawi qedamawi 'atse hayille sillasie, mō'a 'anbassā za'imnaggada yīhūda nigūsa nagast za'ītyōṗṗyā, siyūma 'igzī'a'bihēr).

    H.I.M. being "Christ Incarnate" is a simplification of the Biblical prophecies concerning Israel and the Lion of Judah....

    I encourage you all to study more......

    Haile Selassie I is worthy of worship for having stood with great dignity in front of the world's press and the representatives of many of the world's powerful nations, especially during his appeal to the League of Nations in 1936 when he was still the only independent black monarch in Africa.

    From the beginning, the Rastas claimed that their personal loyalty lay with Africa's only black monarch, Haile Selassie I, and that they themselves were free citizens of Ethiopia, loyal to its Emperor, and devoted to its flag representing the Solomonic Dynasty......

    Haile Selassie I has several reliable sources of quotes about him being African & for African people........

    Menelik II kicked the Italians ? .....

    Of course there is propaganda about his life and views......

    Here are some "from the horses mouth"

    I have no intention at all of being an indifferent spectator, if the distant Powers hold the idea of dividing up Africa, Ethiopia having been for the past fourteen centuries, an island of Christianity in a sea of pagans...
    —Menelik II, in a letter to Queen Victoria

    Enemies have now come upon us to ruin our country and to change our religion. Our enemies have begun the affair by advancing and digging into the country like moles. With the help of ? I will not deliver my country to them. Today, you who are strong, give me your strength, and you who are weak, help me by prayer.
    —Menelik II, Mobilization Proclamation


    Garvey died before the events of WWII began......

    He had no understanding of what H.I.M. was up against........

    So to him, Selassie I may have seemed like a coward......

    However; Only Kings understand each other.......

    Garvey would have known this if he was not busy making deals with white supremacists.............

    "Do not weep! See, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has triumphed."

    HIM being the only black monarch on the world stage at that time was/is a revelation and guiding light to the lost children of the diaspora.

    HIM showed us that we are not merely freed slaves but a godly race who could go forth to define themselves and their own futures outside of babylon's influence.
