What kind of view does the Christafari
Cult (and with that, the Christian
Industrial Complex) have on Rasta, and why?
And how do they perpetuate their
purpose-driven mission trip?
One of the ways is by publications such as
the one quoted in the posting that started
this thread.
We see in it, how it seems that
"Jah" is considered to be a three
letter word which can be used in some
marketing and sales technique. In one group
it is "profitable" to
"use" the "term", where
in other groups it may "lead people to
wrong impressions" to "use"
the very same "term".
This is best seen in the following quote:
"My opinion is that it is not your
use of Jah that matters, rather, it is who
you think that Jah is when you say His name.
In other words, it is not the Biblical name
that you use that counts, so much as it is
the person whom you believe bears that name.
However, I would never recommend for
a Christian in Jamaica to constantly use the
name Jah amongst Rastas while dancing with
fancy footwork around whom they believe Jah
is. They are setting themselves up to be
misinterpreted. This will only lead to
confusion. On the other hand, I would
endorse someone who uses this appellation to
gain entrance and respect among a group
and then further clarified that the one they
are speaking of is Jesus Christ."
The word "however" in the previous
paragraph marks a crossing of a border which
can not be crossed. The word
"however", namely, masks the start
of a serious revelation of the mind set that
caused the christafari cult to come into
existance.
In this cult, you can use the admitted
biblical NAME OF THE MOST HIGH (not a
"term", as the Christafarian calls
it) to admittedly GAIN ENTRANCE AND RESPECT
in order to MAKE THEM CHRISTAFARIANS!
This is what they do, their working method
called "all things to all men".
"Look like a Rasta to tell the Rasta he
is wrong". Now this theatre
apprearantly run a bit out of the control of
mark mohr and/or the christafari cult head
quarters supreme court, as he now (note the
word HOWEVER, which is not explained or
founded but simply stated to introduce a
false teaching) says "you can look like
a Rasta, just don't say Jah".
Appearantly, according to the Christafari
Cult Paulus made a mistake when he said
"all thing to all men" in Corinth.
Mark Mohr corrects Paulus and says:
"you can't be all things to all men,
because you can not use the biblical name
for the Creator while you are on the
christafarian mission trip." A mission
trip, by the way, that looks like this:
being among people you want to convert into
christafarians by looking like a "rasta".
Is it respectfull to Rastafari, to Jah
Rastafari and to the movement that is called
after the Head Creator, to state the
following about the Rastaman's chant to JAH
RASTAFARI?
Read this:
However, we must remember that it was
God's name first, long before Haile Selassie
ever walked the earth. By this time we
should realize that it is standard procedure
for Satan to take scriptures from the
Bible and twist them towards darkness. If
you recall, when Jesus was in the desert
fasting for forty days, he was tempted by
Satan who misquoted the scriptures to fit
his own purpose. We see this revealed in
virtually every cult in existence today. The
enemy puts some truth in every lie. Lucifer
usually builds his foundation on one or more
biblical truths that have been taken out of
context.
Since Rastafarians use the name Jah does
this mean that Christians should never use
it again? Let me answer this question by
posing yet two other questions. Since
Jehovah Witnesses seem to have taken over
the name Jehovah should Christians no longer
use this appellation?
Now what does this tell you? Yes, isn't it a
perfect description of Satan's methods and
the way the cults work? Isn't this a perfect
description of the Christafari Cult itself?
While they admit here, too, how they believe
the Ethiopian Emperor to be JAH (NOT GOD),
they still want to fight down Rasta.
It has been sufficiently documentated how
the Christafari Cult twists Scriptures for
their own darkness. To cover up what they
are truly doing, in the name of some "geezus".
But remember, while all the Christafarians
are vexed at those who call their CULT for
what it is, a CULT centered around A FALSE
GOSPEL and a FALSE GOD or IDOL, they
themselves do not even realize how they are
doing what they judge the Rastaman of.
They have no problem in trying to silence
everyone who critisizes the Christafari
Cult, even twisting scriptures to create
darkness (is absence of light, therefore a
perfect situation for the forces of evil to
do their dirty work) as they continually try
to do even on this forum.
They have no problem in speaking about the
NAME of the MOST HIGH, of Which He says that
He leads us for HIS NAME'S SAKE (psalm 23
etc etc etc) as a "term" to be
"applied" to "gain entrance
and respect"! And they make a good
dollar doing it, too! And if they're not,
they will. After all, that's their
"purpose" "plug the gap in
the christian industry".
Because, after these people get converted
from Jah Rastafari to Christafarianism, they
are told:
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!
Now, how can it be, that the Christafari
Cult has no problem in seeing "christianity"
as a "product" which you must
"sell" for money, using
manipulative techniques and even plasphemies?
Because, for Christafari, the Lord's Prayer
starts with "Father in Heave, HOLLOWED
be thy NAME JAH". Because, what they do
is "Use the Name Of JAH in VAIN".
His Name, in the Christafari cult, is a
"term".
To realize why they are so industrialized,
you don't have to be a deep researcher. You
see them speaking about "the christian
industry" themselves, you see them
comparing this industrial complex with old
Testament Israel and the New Testament
Church.
You see them comparing their Christianity
with a man called "Yonghi Cho"
from Korea. This man is a heretic. He is one
of the founders or perpetuators of the
"prosperity gospel".
Here are some websites about this man:

The Christafari Cult is a part of this
Christian Industrial Complex. the
connections are all over the place. The
christianity that the Christian Industrial
Complex stands for is the very same
christianity that has blessed the SLAVERY
and has blessed the KILLINGS of IRAQ.
And the above is just a little part of the
"puzzle"....
From, the Christafari website, the following
quotes:
QUOTE:
I am not saying that from this day forth we
should only call God Jah. For despite how
adamant I am on this subject, I rarely ever
use the name Jah in my daily speech. This
name is only uttered when I am ministering
specifically to a rastafarian. I simply
believe that there are many names for God in
the Bible, and that we should not limit
ourselves to only one or two. For example,
when you are in need, call upon Jehovah-Jireh
your provider. When you are lacking peace in
your life, remember that he is
Jehovah-Shalom (Jehovah is peace). These
names and many others can minister to the
hearts of believers.
With all of this in mind, many parishioners
still do not feel comfortable using the term
Jah for God. In fact many would like to
completely strike it from their vocabulary
due to its present day inference to
Rastafari. I completely understand their
position. However, we must remember that it
was God's name first, long before Haile
Selassie ever walked the earth. By this time
we should realize that it is standard
procedure for Satan to take scriptures from
the Bible and twist them towards darkness.
If you recall, when Jesus was in the desert
fasting for forty days, he was tempted by
Satan who misquoted the scriptures to fit
his own purpose. We see this revealed in
virtually every cult in existence today. The
enemy puts some truth in every lie. Lucifer
usually builds his foundation on one or more
biblical truths that have been taken out of
context.
Since Rastafarians use the name Jah does
this mean that Christians should never use
it again? Let me answer this question by
posing yet two other questions. Since
Jehovah Witnesses seem to have taken over
the name Jehovah should Christians no longer
use this appellation? Furthermore, should we
abandon the name of our Messiah because
Mormons have taken his name and used it in
the title of their church; "The Church
of Jesus Christ and the Latter Day
Saints"?
Absolutely not! Rather, we should stand up
for the truth with our feet firmly planted
in the solid foundation of the Word of God.
My opinion is that it is not your use of Jah
that matters, rather, it is who you think
that Jah is when you say His name. In other
words, it is not the Biblical name that you
use that counts, so much as it is the person
whom you believe bears that name. However, I
would never recommend for a Christian in
Jamaica to constantly use the name Jah
amongst Rastas while dancing with fancy
footwork around whom they believe Jah is.
They are setting themselves up to be
misinterpreted. This will only lead to
confusion. On the other hand, I would
endorse someone who uses this appellation to
gain entrance and respect among a group and
then further clarified that the one they are
speaking of is Jesus Christ.
I think that one of the greatest strengths
that we have is the ability to take those
names and doctrines that we have in common
with other cults and to use them as a
gateway for ministering to others on their
own ground using their own language.
A great example of the ministry
opportunities that could be possible if the
use of Jah was put in place by Christians
when trying to reach rastas is the story of
the tremendous church growth in Korea. In
the 1860s, Roman Catholics had faced great
hostility in Korea for using an imported
Chinese term for God. This did not sit well
with the Korean nationals, and church
attendance was at an all time low. In
contrast, Protestant missionary work to
Korea began in earnest in the 1880s, and
almost immediately there was a receptive
response. One of the reasons for this may
have been the Protestants use of the Korean
term Hananim for God. The Choice of Hananim
according to Don Richardson, could not have
been more providential for Protestant
missions in Korea. Preaching like houses
afire in cities, towns, villages or in the
countryside, Protestants missionaries began
by affirming Korean Belief in Hananim.
Building upon this residual witness,
Protestants masterfully disarmed the Korean
people's natural antipathy toward bowing
before some foreign deity.
This event set the stage for the fastest
church growth ever recorded. Led by Paul
Yonggi Cho and his cell-group concept, an
estimated one million people are being
converted to Christianity each year in
Korea. I truly believe that what has
happened in Korea could happen in Jamaica
with the redeemed use of the name Jah when
ministering to rastas. Furthermore, we have
a greater justification if we use an already
Biblical name to reach this culture.
