Di only ting which comes immediately to I mind is di book of Job. I know wid out Jah permission, in a sence Satan cannot do any ting to man. So yes in a sence Jah allows some tings to happen to INI an wi do not know why. I DO NOT BELEIF DAT JAH CAUSES TINGS TO HAPPEN TO INI, ANY MORE DEN HIM MEK HIM OWN SON DIE PON DI CROSS. HE COULD HAVE STOPPED HIS DEATH PON DI CROSS, HE COULD HAVE PREVENTED SATAN FROM DOING DI TINGS HE DID TO JOB, AN HE COULD HAVE STOPPED DI TSUNAMI...but He did not, an only fi one of dem do I tink seh mi overstan some what why it happen dis way. Only one. His son death. An even dat is still not completely overstood yuh know. But to get to di point of di article, which di author is making, it is so old...dem allways accuse ALL Christ-ian of being di SAME, jus as dem accuse ALL Muslim, IT IS SWEEPING GENERALIZATIONS, AN WHAN YUH DO IT, YUH MEK MISTAKE...OBVIOUS. YUH ALLREADY KNOW A WHOLE NEW BREED A CHRIST-IAN WHO WOULD NOT SAY DI THINGS WHICH WAS SUPPOSED SAID ON DAT BOARD, an mi fi tell yuh, yuh know, mi buck up pon a whole heap a new kind of Christ-ian like I self, an like di ones from I guess di 60's di ones who knew wha dem was looking for back in dem days, an now dem looking fi peace an serentity wid dem Redeemer, but dem still fighting fi di same freedoms. I love dat. So to seh INI are all like bush or some of di more infamous christ-ians are wrong. to say I woman am any betta or any worse den any of dem is wrong any way, since only Jah is gonna judge I nuh true? It is not judgemant pon a group membership, but on I heart. How I woman conduct I livity. So alla dem pointing finga at di ones following Christ. It nuh help any matter. It nuh REVEAL nothin. It nuh negate any ting I woman bring to di table to reason on. Selassie still Negus, who beleif in Christ Jesus. He was still di Defender of di Orthodox Church. Di Bible is still used by Rastafari in most houses. Rastafari still use Scripture as authority, as a matter of fact dem use scripture as reason why dem Natty grow, as part of di vows dem tek. Rasta base nuff a dem beleif alang di bible, an if yuh look pon di greats of Reggae, who some consider di prophets, like Nesta, yuh will see dem sing out dem beleifs clearly...an yuh will sight dat most of him songs was rooted an grounded from di bible. Dat wha INI mean whan INI speak of CONSCIOUS.
GIVE THANKS AYINDE.
IN HIS LIGHT AN LOVE
