IT IS A FOOLISH NOTION TO SAY RASTA WOULD NOT READ ANY OTHER BOOK OUTSIDE THE BIBLE AS FOR LEONARD BARRETT I DON'T TO TAKE ON BOARD WHAT ALOT OF NONE RASTAFARI DEVOTEES SAY ABOUT THE LIVITY CALLED RASTAFARI.

I READ ALL KIND OF BOOKS AND OF CAUSE MAN IS THE LIVING BIBLE AND YES WE ALL DON'T MUST DRESS LIKE THE EMPEROR OR EVEN HAVE THE SAME ABITS AS HIM, THE FACT IS NO ONE COULD EXPECT THAT BEING WHO IS THE ALMIGHTY TO BE LIKE US IN OUR SIMPLE HUMAN STATE.

I SEE HAILE SELASSIE I AS A EXTRA ORDINARY MAN HE IS ABOVE THE REST YES HE CAME IN FLESH AND BLOOD AND HE IS TINY IN BUILT AND SHORT IN HEIGHT AND IT WONT GO AWAY SOME BLACK PEOPLE WITH LOCKS IN PARTICULAR TO IDENTIFY THEM SAY HE IS THE ALMIGHTY OMNIPOTENT ONE IN FLESH.

IN MY OPINION THE REASON WHY SO MANY RASSES ARE STILL TRADITIONAL BIBLE PEOPLE IS BECAUSE THEY SEE IT AS THEIR DUTY TO OBEY OR FOLLOW THE WORDS OF WHAT THEY WOULD VIEW AS THE WORDS OF THE ALMIGHTY.

IF THAT WHAT WAS INVISABIBLE DID TAKE ON FLESH AND MAJORITY OF THE HOUSE OF RASTAFARI SAY HAILE SELASSIE I IS THE ALMIGHTY, IT STANDS TO REASON WHY SO MANY OF US ARE SO STILL INTO THE BIBLE.

HAVE YOU EVER VIEW THE HAILE SELASSIE I VERSION OF THE BIBLE YOU ASK ISRAEL ANBESSA, I HAVE, EWF IN LONDON HAVE A COPY I SAW IT, IT CAME OUT IN 1961 I FORGET THE MONTH AND DATE THOUGH REASEARCH YOU ARE GOOD AT THAT YOU MAY COME ACROSS ONE YET.

THAT SAID THOUGH RASTA ARE DOING AND LIVING OUT THINGS NOT DONE IN THE BIBLE BUT WE MUST NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE BECAUSE OF GROWTH IN WISDOM KNOWLEDGE AND OVERSTANDING, THAT WE PUT ASIDE THAT WHAT BUILT US TO THE GROWTH WE REACH TO, SO I WONT PUT DOWN THE BIBLE BUT FOR SURE IT IS NOT THE BE ALL AND END ALL BUT IT IS A GOOD COMPASS TO CERTAIN SIMPLE KNOWLEDGE EVEN WITH IT'S INCONSISTANCES AND DESCREPANCES THE EMPEROR SAW IT AS A CAUSE AND SOURCE OF INFINITE COMFORT THE BIBLE, INFINITE MEANING EVERLASTING.

YOU ARE RIGHT RASTAFARI IS NOT A CULT IT IS A LIVITY CULTURE AND MOST OF ALL A WAY OF LIFE WHICH CONSIST OF SERVING THE ALMIGHTY WHO CAME IN FLESH.

BLESSED I'M NOT POSTING TO FIGHT JUST AN OPINION I THINK IT'S THE IDEA OF BEING OBEDIENT ONTO THE WORDS OF THE ALMIGHTY IN THE FLESH OF HAILE SELASSIE I AND HOW IMPORTANT HE PUT THE BIBLE ACROSS WHICH THE COURSE AND THE LIVING LIFE THROUGH THE BIBLE AS NOT CHANGED, BUT THE BIBLE DOES NOT STOP GROWTH AND GROWTH SHOULD'NT DISSMISS IT NEITHER BECAUSE THE BIBLE WAS THE STEPING STONE FOR MANY TO FORM THE GROWTH MAN WOULD REACH TOWARDS EVEN IN THE PRESENT DAY.

THAT SAID GIVE THANKS FOR LIFE, ALL BLESSING AND ALL BLEST.
