The
evangelical world, however, has a totally
different view on Rastafari .
Unfortunately the Evangelicals seem to
have not researched the movement well enough
and they stopped where they thought they had
to stop, that is by establishing the unreal
conclusion that Rastafari is always
connected with the believe that Haile
Selassie is God incarnated in the flesh[1].
A clear indication of an attitude that is
aimed at condemning the unknown without
being hindered by any form of knowledge or
tact.
So where Haile Selassie stated “who am
I to deny their faith?” western
Christianity does actually do this by
putting Rastafari in the “idol worshippers
category”.
An important difference, yet it seems
only Rastafarians actually recognize this.
Regardless of your position, it is pretty
important to realize this fundamental
difference in approach of the movement of
Rastafari , including those that do believe
Selassie to be God and those who believe
something different.
You have a “Selassiean Approach ” if
you will, and the approach of western
Christianity.
Or “X-ianity”, as I have seen people
naming this form of religion that has for
many Rastafarians always been the clearest
example of Babylon system perverting the
Name of the Creator.
It must be said at this place, it is not
always very easy to discern between genuine
Christianity and Babylon Xianity as many
genuine believers in the Divine Saviour have
been infected by it.
Babylonian way of thinking , keeping the
system in power and the people in slavery
can be found throughout the whole system of
“churches”, denominations ” and what
have you.
Especially in the Evangelical world there
is a very extreme hierarchical kind of
thinking .
Also a great fear for other cultures as
many within the Western Evangelical Movement
have absolutely no idea what the difference
is between a culture and a religion.
To understand where Christafari comes
from, and why they do what they do, it is
important to know something about the
evangelical movement.
Now, do I see the evangelical movement as
being similar to Xianity ?
No, I do not.
I grew up in a Pentecostal enviroment.
The Pentecostal church is originally a black
church and can be considered a part of the
world wide evangelical movement. Generally
spoken, the evangelicals have a sound view
on the Person of Yesus Kristos and Xianity
obviously preaches a false Christ .
In fact, the evangelicals form one of the
many reform movements aimed at taking the
people out of the ungodly Babylonian system
into a genuine form of worshipping the
Father through Kristos.
But on the other hand, there are many
Babylonian influences to be found in the
evangelical movement . Many evangelical
churches make use of marketing schemes in
their proselyting efforts . Not to mention
the use of very authoritative hierarchical
systems when it comes to organizing the
churches. This all in complete contradiction
to the Biblical message of freedom and
equality.
Now, why is it difficult to discern
between the true and the false church,
between Christianity and Xianity?
Because you cannot localize the “true
church”, where the “false churches ”
are all over the place.
The false churches will be found in
buildings.
The true church will never be found in a
man-made structure, whether built by stones
or by philosophies[2].
Still members of the true church can be
found in the false ones.
. The true church consists out of the
total sum of believers in the Divine Saviour,
the Messiah, Yesus Kristos. They can be
found in buildings called church, but not
necessarily. Many of them never visit such a
building and yet are definitely true
followers of the Lord God JAH.
Where this may sound confusing at first,
after a while it becomes clear that true
Christianity stands for a personal, direct
“line” to the Most High. Made possible
by the works of Yesus Kristos, JAH
Incarnated in the flesh .
Everyone can have a personal relationship
with the Creator without the mediation of
another human being.
This as opposed to every other religion,
where you have all kinds of : priests,
shamen , imams , preachers, teachers, et
cetera.
Yesus explicitly warned for these
“mediators” and “spiritual leaders
”[3]. Among His followers there was
equality. After He went back to His Godly
estate, the early church continued in this
practice.
Christians gathered in houses. It was
love that kept them together. They were
persecuted by the system because they were
labeled as subversive.
Until a Roman Emperor at war had a dream.
In the middle of the night, in the middle of
a fight, he saw the light. He saw the symbol
of the cross and he heard a voice: “You
will conquer under this symbol”. Emperor
Constantine officially turned the Roman
Empire into a “Christian Empire” .
That was the beginning of Xianity :
Babylon Sponsored Christianity .
Basically, that is the story of
Christianity : Babylon infiltrates, corrupts
and uses for her own purposes. Then people
rise up against that and go back to the pure
form of Christianity again: they organize,
Babylon enters, and the circle is round
again.
You can’t therefore say that just
because someone is a member of an
evangelical church, this person is therefore
a member of the Babylonian Christianity. You
can’t even say that about a member of the
Roman Catholic Church, which is a school
example of a Babylonian church .
The truth is that it doesn’t matter
which “church” you belong to, it matters
if you personally believe in Yesus Kristos,
in the Divine Saviour.
Now, the evangelicals seem to be among of
the few in Christianity to have a big focus
on spreading the Good News, the message of
JAH Love, Yesus Kristos. And with that,
Babylon through Xianity has made sure that
the evangelicals would not know the
difference between religion and culture.
Yes, they can tell you Who Yesus is and
that we all need the Saviour, but they will
also tell you that to “live with the
Saviour”, you have to be in their culture.
Meaning: you shouldn’t do this or that,
and, unfortunately, that includes
questioning “authority” as they like to
summarize their system of “pastors”,
“preachers” and what have you.
The Rastafarians know about this all.
Much better then most who regard themselves
to be Christians. They make a difference
between the “White Geezus ” (a false
Christ) on the one hand, and “Yesus
Kristos” on the other.
They know that the Saviour is real.
And it doesn’t matter if you call Him
Jesus or Yesus or Yeshua, because it is the
Person that matters.
Rastafarians speak about the “White
Geezus ” where they refer to this image of
Yesus Kristos Babylon tries to get in the
heads of the people: A “Jesus” that not
only tolerates the corruption and
anti-freedom philosophy, devil philosophy,
but actively promotes it as “the way
creation is made”.
It goes too far to make an in-depth
analysis of Christianity as opposed to
Xianity , but I think that it is fair to
establish, that the movement of Rastafari
has rightfully made a difference between the
white geezus and the Divine Saviour.
And every Christian who is involved in
Rastafari in whatever situation should at
least be aware of this.
Haile Selassie was, because he says:
“Who am I to deny their faith?”
A faith obviously aimed at the Creator.
Many within the evangelical world, as
said before, do however deny the faith of
the Rastafarians because they think that the
Rastas talk about the Divine Saviour when
they speak about the Babylonian White Geezus
.
