[[[ When the government official asked HIM to tell InI Rases ah Yaard that HIM no Jah; He said "Who am I to discourage their faith". ]]

Exactly, Who is HE, that has the power to discourage Faith. ONLY God has that Power,
So he is telling you Exaclty who he is, and later on that same trip in Jamaica He told the Rastas that He was NOT the ALMIGHY.

According to Haile Selassie I own Words : "... I also met certain Rastafarians [In Jamaica]. 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."
