My understanding is that Rastafari believe that Haile Selassie I IS Jesus–that it was He (I and I) who was born in the manger in Nazareth and He (I and I) again who ruled in Ethiopia and that He (I and I) shall come yet again for one final time, as portrayed in Revelation. So Bob believed that Emperor Selassie I was Himself (Iself) Jesus. So when Bob found Jesus, Bob found Selassie I.

Big up Jamaica!

hey first of all the hole christians the only way statement that was a little harsh if that is what you believe then why are you looking up this site, second this is a way of love. how can you down that.
i have a question pple say that im rastafari because i smoke the herb and i have bob marley tattooed on my back i also know pritty much every song bob wrote. i beleive his words and quote him often. my question is to all of you that are rastafari, do you follow all the rules?, no alcohol, no preservatives, no piercing/ tattoos, no pork, no flying, no cutting your hair ect…. to be a rasta do you need to follow everything?
another thing do you beleive that Haile Selassiei is the savior (jesus) do we not over look that bob marley was baptised into another religion and found jesus.
where im going is not that rasta is not true i feel that rasta is a clean living and love for one another no matter what. i also feel that just like any other group or religion or following that they evolve and they have choices to make. all of the rules are guidlines. is this right or am i way off. ( i have studied rasta alot seeing as i love bob marley, and i wanted to understand.)
when life gets to be too much my dad always reminds me you need to live rasta you are getting caught up in worldly problems.
