Rastafarianism

[Vincent Vega]

From Wiki:
"The Rastafari movement is a monotheistic, Abrahamic, new religious movement that arose in a Christian culture in Jamaica in the 1930s. Its adherents, who worship Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, former Emperor of Ethiopia (1930–1936 and 1941–1974), as the Second Advent, are known as Rastafarians, or Rastas."

*Recalling of course that true worship occurs only in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.

You ask some tough questions US. I wouldn't answer a poll like this because I don't consider myself able to make such a judgement. Hopefully the answers won't start any squabbles. I prefer to just keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and the Church he started. It might have been good to include an I don't know option or to get the views of the people that follow those religions.

Well shame on anyone who would argue that the Jews aren't Abrahamic.

This is the debate table. If there were no squabbles, it'd be called open mic.

Ha! They mostly say that black people are the original Jews.

I cannot consider Baha'i abrahamic because of their belief that the Buddha was a prophet.

We had a man come to our Church one day, dark skinned and of middle eastern appearance. I wondered if that's what Jesus looked like. In fact I think it logical that Jesus would have taken the middle line and have been between black and white. One of the nice things in East Timor is that the people range from black through to white and all shades between, so colour is never noticed. Well not until I got there, they were intrigued about the white patch on top of my head.

Are some Black Hebrews "messianic" as well?

[Seven77]

Rastafarianism is idolatry b/c it is adoration of a mere human (who happened to be a Catholic, btw)

Haile Selassie was Ethiopian Orthodox.
