As a person who's has been raised in a christian home and has studied other belief systems and being involved in PIRU gang radical beliefs not activities have found flaws in a lots of beliefs systems i'm glad as a people we are coming to a realization of who we are and where we come from and where we going i'd jus wish we can do that together. If we believe in God, Emanuel, peace, equality, and respect for the human race, life and nature we'd all be better off in the understanding of sacrifice, selflessness.

Judy, your testimony has strengthened my faith because i was also a Rasta man but came to accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior..although the road has been tough and sometimes i look back and almost turn around- but now i am encouraged that indeed Jesus is the Way, the Truth and the Life! bless you and your family abundantly

Consider the implications if Selassie said, “… a human being should not be emulated for a deity.” This would suggest that as a Christian he did not worship Jesus as God (because Jesus was a human being). From Rev 19:10 - And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
Christians have historically been divided as to whether Jesus was a Man or whether he was God. It is one of the most difficult theological questions and is fundamentally a paradox. However, if Jesus returned as a man again on earth, would he not say that he is a man and that God alone should be worshipped? It was only when he was channeling the Voice of the Spirit that he spoke as God (I AM the Way, the Truth and the Light).
What Rasta are really dealing with is the concept of God in Man and God in Woman. Every righteous man and woman channels the Holy Spirit of God. This was how Jesus lived and what he taught. By coming again as Selassie he proved that the Spirit is ever-living.
Historically it is clear that Selassie fulfilled Biblical Prophecy concerning the Second Advent.

Please remember that they were just entertainers doing what they were paid. Rastafari came long before reggae music so they could never represent the full essences of the culture. Many are called but few are chosen.....

Sister Judy, I am glad to see that u are at a point in your life that u are happy,because every one deserves to be happy. You have been a great inspiration to me for many years.I have been a fan of yours for many years especially when u were following the Rastafari way. I have been following the Rastafarian way of living now for twenty five years, and I am always open to any thing that deals with thruths and rights.I must say though that your music over all these years have been powerful,educating ,and very much edifying especially to us as black women. I must ask though why the trimming of the locks. Do u honestly believe that our creator is so carnal minded that he would look at ones hair to judge him or her? It is works. I still love u as a sisthren but would have love to see u with your locks doing the same work, but I must respect the choise u have made.Everyone has his own road to throd in life, so throd on my sisthren

Judy, I want to encourage you in your stand for Jesus. A testimony of salvation through Jesus Christ is honourable in the eyes of God. I recall when I too was deceived. Now that I have been born again of the Holy Ghost, my eyes are truly opened and now I see two kingdoms - one kingdom of this world and the kingdom of God. Not only do I see it but I now live in the kingdom of God and experience the righteousness, joy and peace in the Holy Ghost.
