Mark Mohr, in his many descriptions of his "Being a Rasta", says that his Rastafarianity consisted out of "sacramentally smoking marijuana". Further research led to the overstanding that he means with this: "smoking a joint while saying the words jah rastafari in surf session" (really).

He CLAIMS:
I began praising "Jah Rastafari" in my daily surf sessions and attempting to justify my daily sacrament of weed with the Scriptures

Now in interviews he said he hated reggae at first and it was only because it "justified marijuana" that he started to "like" it. He had to develop a love for Reggae, it wasn't in him as a natural fact.

It was a root of another kind that first attracted Mohr to reggae. "From a musical perspective, I hated reggae at first," he admits. "What really drew me to it was that it justified using marijuana. But, as I listened more, I started to like it."

That is heard the minute you put on christafari music. Only the dubsoundpower CD comes a little bit in the area of true Reggae. Thank you, JIM FOX! The rest is all commercial nonsense or not even reggae at all. One can't deny that.

Christafari's "reggae" is as authentic as christafari's description of "rasta"!

It's not the real thing, christafari, it is the commercial thing.

Why is this important?

For Mark Mohr, smoking marijuana was the reason why he played reggae music. He said "it justified my smoking". Reggae is his connection to marihuana. Whenever he listens to it, or plays it, he is doing a surrogate weedsmoke. It's his way of smoking weed without smoking weed.

At first it was his way of smoking weed and be a christian (he calls that "Rasta"), now it is his way of being a christian still smoking, without actually smoking it (he calls that "Mission Trip").

I know a Rasta who doesn't smoke herb. I know this Rasta for many years and have reasoned with him many times in private since 2002 or so. Mark Mohr also knows this Rasta. He has planted a church with this Rasta in Trinidad. The fact that this Rasta doesn't smoke herb is more important for Mark Mohr then the fact that he is a Rasta.

Now why would Mark Mohr plant a church with a Rasta, who makes no secret about how he is going to start the "Rasta House Of The Messianic Order"? Why does Mark Mohr have no problem with that? For only one reason: this Rasta does not smoke herb.

I'm not talking about the drama's in Trinidad, I'm not talking about the fact that the members of the Gathering were quite happy to see Mark Mohr leave Trinidad (after all, he exploited Trinidad Artists among other things), I'm not talking about the fact that Mark Mohr "gave" the church to that Rasta and has nothing to do with it anymore (although still boasting in the press about it).

I am talking about the mere fact that Mark Mohr has no problem planting a church with a Rasta. Being a Rasta is not the problem, smoking weed is the problem!

You know, that is how Mark Mohr sees Messian Dread. He knows that Messian Dread is a free man. He knows Messian Dread is not caught in the cage of the christian industry. He knows Messian Dread.... smokes marijuana!

Everytime Mark Mohr thinks about me, he sees a big fat joint. When he listens to my music, he smells the superskunk coming out of his speakers. He sees me having no problem in smoking marijuana, still praising JAH.

In his mind-set, that alone makes me a Rasta. This is Mark Mohr: "when you believe in JAH and call upon His NAME, and when you smoke weed or when I say you smoke weed, you are a Rasta of the worst kind: the ganja-smoking kind."

Everytime Mark Mohr sees a Yesus Dread or a Rasta who smokes weed, he considers it a "Rastafarian Who Sacramentally Smokes Marijuana".

For him, you can't be a Christian and smoke weed. Those who smoke weed, are not to be considered "true christian".

It's all about the weed.....

Now let's take a closer look to the other gospel which is "preached".

Let's apply his standards to the market called "lionofzion webstore". You won't find any self-proclaimed Rastas there. Self-proclaimed in the sense of "calling one's self a Rasta". And you won't find anyone there that publicly smokes weed.

Now, this says a lot.

not only does it reveal the double standard, where it is obvious how much more care is put in the sales techniques then in the "church planting" (and i wonder what should be more important).

It says much more.

Mark Mohr sells his "gospel" with words like these:

Christ alone is the Lord of my life. So when I listen to a reggae song that praises Rastafari, giving worship to Selassie, I get convicted. My spirit does not agree with this. I then have to ask myself this question: if Shadrach, and his brothers refused to bow to the false god when the music played, why would they then go out and buy a CD full of this same music and listen to it daily? They wouldn't!

But what about Christian Dub artists? Besides Christafari's one release (DUB Sound&Power) and the ever enigmatic Yabby You and Messian Dread, many have searched long and hard for a true Christian roots artist that is devoted to DUB 100% of the time. Search no longer: introducing Solomon Jabby, AKA "The Dub Revelator."

I would ask: "Who is Christ to you?" "Who is Selassie to you?" and: "Do you smoke ganja?" How he answered those questions would determine whether or no I would label him a "gospel artist" and add him to our webstore.

Mark Mohr explained how the "enigma's" Yabby You and Messian Dread are not considered gospel artists. Instead he ABUSES other artists who the personally have to write to me that they do not agree with mark mohr. He's selling them with arguments like: "forget about the ones we don't sell, here is a true christian".

So how can one possible not see how here we have several gospels?

Let's suppose it's a good and a bad gospel he has.  I personally state that the two gospels he brings are both corrupt, but let's assume mark mohr sells his reggae-gospel and preaches a true "jesus"-gospel.

His standards concerning the Jesus Gospel are different then the Reggae Gospel. That in itself is another indication of the presence of SEVERAL gospels.

He plants a church with a Rasta but claims elsewhere that Sadrach Mesach and Abednego would surely not buy the latest CD from that "Rasta". With one exception: selling exceprts of the Haile Selassie interview that can be downloaded for Free at Ras Tafari Sound Archive but is SOLD at christafri marketplace for the incredible price of 10 dollars. When people point out to that in the loz-boards, that they can get the interview for free, this is deleted.

So the gospel they say they preach, the "great witness tool" must be sold and bought. It can not be given for free for that is deleted by loz. People will only get info and all that through loz. and they have to pay money for it.

They call that "plugging gaps". It is: creating monopoly in the market.

The Holy Spirit convinces him not to go to a different store then the lion of zion store (that is the obvious message in his little selling prohecy) but the Holy Spirit doesn't convince him of this same "herecy" when he's "church planting"?

Much more effort in keeping the webstore "sanctified" then a "church"..

Two standards, for two gospels...

And it's not so, that the Holy Spirit convinces him not to buy Rasta music because of any "sinfull nature" of that music, obviously.

For Mark Mohr has no problem sitting on the front seat, enjoying the music and lyrics of one named Amy Grant. she is a "gospel" singer who recently left hur husband to dive in bed with the next man, while in the meantime recording a "gospel" album for which she receives many gospel industry awards.

This is a photo of the man who claims to be the Elect of God to be the leader of "Christian Reggae

You know, he speaks about "slackness" and all that. But what Amy Grant does, is adultry! Yet he has no problem with that. No problem in wanting to be on the first row when the false christians give eachother praises and awards for corrupting the true Gospel of Yesus Kristos.

And impatiently waiting for his turn to be on the stage, reaching the "dove" awards. Did you know Semirames (the wife of nimrod, the founder of babylon) means "dove"?

No, you say probably. The Holy Spirit is the Dove.

Oh, really?

If the Gospel which is preached needs award ceremonies to worship the most fruitfull preachers of that particular Gospel, and when those awards are then named after the Holy Spirit, you better tell me where in the Bible it says that preachers of the Gospel have to big themselves up in rituals where the farisees give each other their wages...

No, you might point out to the Gathering. That's the true gospel, after all. Planting Churches where people can come together to praise Messiah Yahoshuah. Yes?

Now here's the catch.

You see Mark Mohr applying all kinds of things supposedly about the Gospel and the Holy Spirit and no sins in music and all that, pretending to be the holy man in that gospel. the sales gospel. the industry. He even claims to be the elect of god to be the leader of what he calls "christian reggae".

You see Mark Mohr NOT applying these things when it comes to the gospel he DOESN't sell, namely that of the "stop calling on JAH and start calling on "god" gospel.

So not only has he two gospels of which one can argueably be seen as the true Gospel, he applies all these things to his sales gospel which he should apply to his church gospel. And he doesn't care about the "church" he planted anymore.

After all, the members of that Church have been exploited by this "dread" from amerika. This "gathering CD" was created without the consent of the local artists. And they didn't like it....

So in short: Mark Mohr has two gospels. He sells one and use the other to disguise his true aims, which are carnal not spiritual.
