"42 "negative confessions" which are the origin of the 10 commandments in the O.T
Is there any historical proof for this, i.e. written words that connect the two? Or is this just a theory based on Khemetic-centric thinking? Rasta not satisfied with Haile Selassie I, Christ and the Gospels? Why dilute and water-down Rastafari and what He has given to us as revelation?"
You are approaching this topic as if things are mutually exclusive - you make it sound like investigating history is watering down.
Think of it this way - if you know people were around thousands of years before the bible was even written, and we know that the Egyptian papyrus pre-dates the bible and is indicitive of a civilization that existed thousands of years beforehand - and we see within ths "42 negative confessions" a code of conduct which mirrors and is actually more strict than the O.T. 10 commandmants - one can make a logical deduction that the 10 commandments are reflecting something from an earlier time. There is a correct way to live - and this was known for a long long time. I am not saying you cannot find truth in the bible and find many of the same principles therein that you can also find by looking at something older. I am merely giving a historical context.
