Atleast this is a confirmation that rastafari is not christianity

[@bluebell3720]

It is partly 'What is Rastafari? Rastafari is a religious and political movement that began in Jamaica in the 1930s and was adopted by many groups around the globe. It combines Protestant Christianity, mysticism, and a pan-African political consciousness.'

@bluebell3720 well,that still isn't christianity. Christianity is obeying and applying the teachings of Jesus Christ in one's life. Galatians 1:8-9 Let God's curse fall on anyone, including us or even an angel from heaven, who preaches a different kind of Good News than the one we preached to you. I say again what we have said before: If anyone preaches any other Good News than the one you welcomed, let that person be cursed.

[@bl00dhoney]

rastafari is not a religion. Most rastafari are members of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church

[@itssimplyivy]

they just don't know,

[@bluebell3720]

The church today has continued to maintain the stance that it would only baptize in the name of Jesus Christ and not Haile Selassie Many rastaferian accepted the church until they realised this
