By the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ he has had me locally with rasta tracts
witnessing to that particular group, but more so online
with an html version of the said tract and more.
Rastafarians have been trick into this cultural delusion
and it’s my belief that we need to let them know this.
Through local tract giving and internet witness some
have heeded the message and others treat it with
disdain. But the word went forth and here are some of
the results. God bless!

"Well
said, brother! One Love in Christ Jesus"
--Sister Lois
"Who are you? You have so much insight! Yes, there
are many rastas that try their best to live a clean ,
wholesome life. I am amazed at some of the lyrics by
rastas who believe that they are serving GOD. For
example, Morgan Heritage's 'Doors of my temple'. Many of
these songs are deeply spiritual, but again they are
either serving the wrong god, or they believe Rastafari
and God are one and the same. And yes the debate
continues over the ethnicity of CHRIST. I believe in the
Lord, and I don't care what color he was when he was
here. He shed His Blood for me and the rest of the
world, so the only color that matters here is RED!
I don't know if you're a minister, but I am interested
in hearing more from you. It is so refreshing to hear
someone have a handle on this situation, because it is
grave. Many people will die believing the wrong
thing, and that is frightening. As a musician in several
reggae bands, I have had a lot of exposure to the
rantings and ravings of the rastas who believe it's 'all
about the weed and women'. And I have met many who
follow the bible. We have an artist here where I
live who converted somewhat. HE says he serves god
first, and rastafari second. I'm not sure if he fully
understands, but at least he's searching. He
accepted Jesus as his savior, so I believe GOD will work
in him to help him to see the light. I am puzzled how
you managed to 'escape' becoming a rasta . If you're
from the islands, as far as I know, this religion is very
dominant. And also, just based on what I have read,
Jamaica is a struggling country. I don't dare pretend to
know all of your history, but there are more rastas than
Christians. I'm very proud of you for rising above
your surroundings and searching for the truth. Peace and
Blessings" --

"I am very sorry. If I appeared
to be insulting, this was not my intent. This is one of
the many myths about Jamaica. Most(including myself) are
under the impression that Rastafarianism is the dominant
religion in Jamaica, partly because the rastas draw so
much attention. This is the very reason that cultures
need to understand one another. It's so hard to find out
things about other people and places. Unfortunately, the
stereo-typing comes into play and is played upon by many
people whose intentions are not very good.
Hopefully this will change as well. Again, God bless you
and please keep up the good work." --
Teresea
Wilson
She made an assumption that
Rastafarianism is impacting Jamaicans more than
Christians. After I gave her the details of the real
spiritual force behind Jamaica she was shocked and
unfortunately by this I've realized that many oversees
are deceived. Jamaica is recorded in the Guinness world
book of record as the number one country to have more
churches per square mile. In fact, the church I attended
in Jamaica was a former theater and it's quite full on
Sundays. Another church is right across the street and
it is full Sundays also and they are others down the
same street and around the vicinity. The common saying
is that where you see a bar you see church in Jamaica;
because bars are pretty frequent too. The thing is empty
barrels make the most noise.
The reason I
was so strong about it was that many oversees (as she
said too) and Rastafarians in Jamaica often quote and
chant that "Reggae Music put Jamaica on top." Far from
the truth. What put Jamaica on top are the many prayers
song daily to God on our behalf, "Eternal Father bless
our land etc...” That's the Official National Anthem;
Benny Hinn was startled when he came and found that out,
as he exclaimed on his T.B.N TV show. Not only that,
but also the strong presence and intercession of Born
Again Christians. You would also be surprise at the many
achievements of Jamaicans. Even in our apostolic circles
- PenTab UPC of Wildman St in Jamaica was once rated as
number one in Sunday School Attendance and Performance
in all UPC worldwide. I could go on but, you get the
point as Teresa did.
"Hello i agree with your views etc .I don't believe
in the divinity of rastas but most things. Rasta for me a
rasta is more than just smoking ganja etc. Thanks for
your comments and Rastafarianism meaning what Tafari
stands for will always be alive because its
good. Seek the truth and you will find it. bye for now are
you a rasta?" --vanier

"Greetings!! I am Justin Howell (Imamu
Jumaane) and I am writing this email to thank you for
the information on exposing Rastafarianism. I have
locked hair and believe in a healthy/natural diet and
well-being. I am not Rasta, even though,. I am
constantly referred and greeted as if I am. I can
understand why people would assume. I normally
keep a full beard and wear a lot of natural
fibers. I did not/will not become Ras because of
several reasons, a lot of them mentioned in your
email. Rastafarianism is a religion just like any
other one. I do not believe in religion or
following any human's thought or lack of knowledge,
especially, under the preface of being presented as the
only truth. Once again, thanks for the
email. I will definitely forward this email to
others. Many blessings!"
--Justin (Imamu)
"Dear Bro. So True... This modern
Christmas thing is of the
heathen traditions of
men...One Louv." --Bro. AjO,
Elder priest of the Ethiopian Zion Coptic
Church
"Greetings in the name of the most High God.
Today is BLESSED day for me. After reading your
mail, it kindled a spark in my heart.
Anyway, I really need to chat with you concerning
this issue (NEW YEARS RESOLUTION). I am a RASTA
and I have great reasons for being a RASTA. But
anyway, I would appreciate it if you could set a
date/time for us to chat about this in Yahoo
messenger." JAH BLESS! --RAS
KING
"Praise be to the Most High! Jesus is so good.
Recently born-again at the age of 17 I'm understanding
the Truth in full effect. Let His light shine brightly
through you, Brother. Rasta deception is being exposed
to the masses, praise God!!! I know many who say they
are Rasta and yet believe Jesus is the Christ. Their own
religion condemns them to fire and brimstone. As Nesta
once said "We sick an tired of this bullsh*t game, die
an go to heaven inna Jesus name." Nesta was an
anti-Christ evangelist! Satan appears as an angel of the
light. Praise be to Ya shua Ha Mashia who is opening all
of our hearts." --M.H
I saw the
following on
a Message Board from one of the group manager of one of
the biggest rasta sites on msn, who in the end of my
posting opt to ban me. Now I saw this from him on
another site. Thanks be to God, like Nicodemus, some
will come by night:
"Greetings in the Name of I n I Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ who has revealed Himself to I n I
in the Personality of H.I.M. Haile Selassie I
I would like everyone to check out this site that
... posted on my site and tell me what you think.
http://www.threeq.com/pages/rasta.html
I know already some of ayo reaction, but what is
being said here is the truth. Jesus Christ is Lord and
Saviour. Bob Marley was baptized Berhane Selassie and
accepted Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior! For those
who no mi vibes and agree, give thanks!!"
--12Tribes
Here is the message board it was on:
http://www.triniview.com/cgi-bin/rasta/webbbs_config.pl/noframes/read/26633
"I and I Leave the I to your own Judgment. Many of
us cannot get over the colonial teachings. Well! did
Christ that you spoke of ever said he is God Almighty,
of himself without quotation or in the form I said, and
not Jesus said. Did Rastafari ever said he is God? Nay
watch your step! Rasta livity is no ridiculeness... Let
I and I ask you. Don't you have intelligence?"

Christ
indeed in many scripture say he was the almighty
God!
"Lion Fiyah, I'm not saying ban him cuz
of his beliefs, I'm saying ban him because of
what he's doing. Trying fi convince all rastas
to become damn Christ-cultist. think about
it ryan, what if he actually convinces
one??? i know I'm judging n etc but that's a rasta
corrupted into a Babylonian Christians, by letting him
preach his idiocy u might be letting somebody lose their
righteous life" --
LionOfZion
He
wanted the managers to shut me up. He also noted about
righteousness which I have one remark, "For they
being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about
to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted
themselves unto the righteousness of God" (Rom
10:3).
