"WHAT IS UNIQUE ABOUT HAILE SELASSIE, MOST RASTAS LOOK TOTHE BIBLE, AND COMPARE HIS TITLES TO THE SCRIPTURES, BUT THE SAME REASONING CAN MAKE ANY ONE OF THE KINGS OF ETHIOPIA FIT THAT SAME "RETURN CHRIST" WHY HAILE SELASSIE ?"
* I am only responding this one time to you. IMO you are failing to take into consideration the CONTEXT of the modern emergence of Rastafari. IMO African people of the Diaspora in Jamaica were in the unique position to sight the Emporer Haile Selassie in the way that they did, at the time that they did, for the reasons they did - when one takes THAT into consideration there is no other BUT Haile Selassie.
All your doctrinal and theological arguments fall flat if you sight Rastafari as a failed Christian cult that is in desperate need of a typical Christian conversion remedy.
