The
CRC Has done extensive research into the phenomenon
of "Christafarianism", resulting in the
publication of two (free) books, numerous articles
and a huge archive of research material. In this
special section you can find much of it back. |

From Correspondence
Mark Mohr <-> Messian Dread
FROM THE CRC
ARCHIVE ON CHRISTAFARIANISM |
The
following letter was sent by me (Messian
Dread) to Mark Mohr. It is taken from a
private correspondence initiated by me after
the release of what is now known as
"the essay".
Mark Mohr's article "Response to the
Essay" could better be named
"Report from the Correspondence".
But since he doesn't quote or refer people
to the essay, and nobody is able to find the
private correspondence which he "resports"
from I have to provide some documentation.
The following letter was
sent by me to him after he wrote to me what
he aslmost literally repeats in his
"Response". His interpretation of
my "answers" in which he concludes
that I am a new ager for saying Buddhists go
to heaven for not being against Yesus. This
was BEFORE he published the
"response" and after his wife
(some think) posted the "Finmal
Rebuke" in which I was declared satan.
Watch the Re:'s at the start of the subject.

DATE: October 25, 2004
Greetings Mark,
Thank you for
elaborating your
position.
Please take into
consideration that
Matthew 24 speaks about
access to Zion for those
who even give a drop of
goodness to us. The way
we are treated is for
Yesus the same as the
way He is treated.
However I know what you
mean and agree just
being good in the
definition of some
religion like Buddhism
has nothing to do with
not being against Yesus.
Buddhism is an attempt
to gain righteousness
outside of Yesus works.
I also know that people
have to know the Message
of salvation but the
question is how should
that be done, or in our
case, how shouldn't it
be done, and to whom
(not).
Now pay attention
please: that's why I
published my essay.
Three years ago you
asked me not to publish
it, and I didn't. But it
is not good if this is
not discussed in the
open. I only have to
point out to the things
such as what we see at
the loz-board. And that
board is ofcourse
symbolic for "the
real world" where I
see exactly the same.
I see people
"defending
you" with a
fierceness that can only
be described as
"who need opponents
with such
friends?"... XXX is
an example, just one.
XXX is another. The
moderators see me as
your enemy and delete my
reasonings where the
real unargumentated
insults to you are all
over the place. These
insults are considered
"Rasta
reasoning" to which
they respond with what
they call
"witnessing to
rastas". That
really makes me sick.
They obviously do not
recognize my intentions
which is for me an
indication they know
nothing about Rasta
culture. For I have yet
to meet the first Rasta
who doesn't overstand
me. They are just
worried about me because
they do not recognize me
as a Christafarian and
in their mind set it is
not possible to be a
Christian with
dreadlocks and not be a
Christafarian. I think
it is your
responsibility to teach
them.
That is perhaps the
biggest burden on my
soul, results from what
we know as
"Christafarianism"
and that is that the
"misrepresentations"
may be
"workable" for
you and I can even until
a certain agree
understand that
pragmatic stance you
have, but the ones who
take your words like
they take Gods Words (an
I am not exxagerating)
have really gone out of
control. Also out of
your control.
Let me close with one
example.
I received this mail
from a Christian who
wanted my help because
he wanted to do
something with Reggae
and his christian faith.
I warned him not
associate himself too
much with the gospel
scene. Needless to say
that, completely
inspired by the
Christafari approach he
"became like a
Rasta" without even
realizing what he was
doing. Needless to say
too, that the "buju
effect" came after
him too, as people were
kind of angry with this
thing, and I could only
remind him to my
warnings after he came
to me with a "help!
they're after me"
mail. |

For me, this shows clearly that Mark Mohr
has only used those parts which he was able
to spin in his ranting in which he made an
evangelicalk correct sermon about preaching
the gospel to lost souls in order to defend
his spreading of his other gospel. I even
didn't w\attack him on his Christafarian
approach personally to take it out of the
personal realm.
He has no excuse as far as I'm concerned.
