so much confusion,.... i have read all of this and to me the most important message here was,.... that each person must read with understanding. Use your resources to discover truth, do not be guided with what you have been told by others.

EVERY MAN MUST SIT UNDER THEIR OWN FIG TREE AND WORSHIP HIS OWN GOD.
Haile Selassie is my teacher and my guide, and for those who say he is god, please tell me something,who was Selassie praying to in the churches, blessed love and guidence

''emancipate yourself from mental slavery'' that's from the song ''redemption song'', '' I feel like booming a church now that you know that the preacher is lying'' from talking blues, ''they building church and university..deceiving the people continually'' from ''babylon system''. In an inteview bob said '' god is black''. Like Bob,as a blackman I can't accept a white god with blond hair and blue eyes..and the representation of the devil is the black man..no man..can't accept it...God is universal..through Haile Selassie Blackman has gain a new identity and dignity..I can't forget the time when the black slaves and the indians were forced to turned to christianity,,we have lost our religion,culture and ourselves.. rasta culture has changed that..though partly..through christianity they want to make us live like them.eat,feel and think like them..what christianity teach you is how much money you must contribute..with your help vatican is becoming one of the richest state in the world..I say no to uniformity..''we refuse to be what they wanted us to be'' Bob Marley said...Someone said above that Bob turned to God in his last days..but Bob has always turn to god..in his every day life..jesus is not the only god...he his only a messenger..JAH RASTAFARI..EVER LIVING EVER FAITHFUL EVER SURE....SELASSIE I THE FIRST....hey baylon don,t try to fool my people..we have seen the JAH LIGHT......

in this day and age there are many peoples crying out - be it alone or as a group - they who call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved - there is no other name that men cam be saved other than Christ Jesus . salassie had a relationship with the same one GOD Jesus Christ . that is who he worshiped . the blessing of Bob Marley giving his life to Christ is avaiable to all. we have to fulfill the book .. the end says when he returns (Jesus ) his eyes would be like a flame of fire ... his feet like brass ... and all will see ... Salessie was a mere man - flesh and bone like us . Jesus said he would establish his kingdom and it would be without end... sallesie - also a believer in Jesus Christ only had an earthly kingdom for a few years - but he and bob and all those who believe - wait in joyful hope for the end of days and the return of the everlasting GOD Jesus Chrst . be blessed

Does it matter if Bob cried out Jesus name or Haile Selassie? InI see them as one. H.I.M Christ in his kingly character. Jah Bless

Its a sure thing to be able to realize that religion is a thing of the mind and heart. For each individual has his / her own beliefs.from that its clear to behold that the central figure of religions is the ressurection. thats why the rasta man say . rasta will live forever and christians know that even though they die they are only resting only to wake up and find themselves in a paradise. So the take here is life continuinity which incorporates all the religions

I now found out about Judy Mowatt. It is very interesting to know that some one like Bob has receive Christ he has been singing songs from the Bible all his live , you who don't believe are fools because he is in a place of peace and all you people can say I don't beileve . Some of his songs are taken from the psalms so why are you so frighten Heaven is real and so is Hell and he had time to ask God for forgiveness . Praise be to God he has forgiven him , the rest of you are going to hell with your unbelieve and doubt. meanwhile he ask God to take him from the pain. the man is at peace hell fire burns continually there is no peace for the wicked. His songs are up lifted but he need a saviour and he found him at last. Read your bible the rivers of babylon where did you think he get it have a great time reading.

TISK! TISK! WHAT WOULD MARLEY SAY? If he was still alive, do you actually think that he would waste his breath passing judgment on his brothers and sisters like you have? I THINK NOT! This brother spent his life uplifting his people in every way possible because he LOVED them. I believe Mowatt's story because they were VERY close! Moreover, I am certain that if the Almighty had granted Marley a few more years on this earth after his illness, then he would have spent his remaining years spreading his new faith. I truly believe this and I am not Christian - nor am I Rasta.

MY POINT IS IF YOU SAY YOU BELIEVE THEN DON'T SPEND YOUR TIME TEARING OTHERS DOWN. HELP TO BUILD THEM UP INSTEAD. THAT IS WHAT BROTHER MARLEY WAS ABOUT.

(May the Almighty forgive him of his sins and grant him Paradise.)

"Judge not that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again," (Matthew 7:1-2).
