| | Rastafari movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rastafari is a strongly syncretic Abrahamic religion that draws extensively from the Bible. | | | Most Rastafari believe that Selassie is in some way a reincarnation of Jesus and that the Rastafari are the true Israelites. | | | Rastafari are criticised, particularly by Christian groups, for taking Biblical quotes out of context, for picking and choosing what they want from the Bible, and for bringing elements into Rastafari that do not appear in the Bible. |

| | Andrew Christopher Davidson -- Africana Library, Cornell University |
| | Rastafari is a movement of Pan-African resistance which was born as African descendents in Jamaica identified the crowning of Ras Tafari Makonnen as Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia in 1930 as the fulfillment of Biblical and Garveyite prophesy. | | | Failing to affirm the historical contributions which women have made towards the Rastafari movement has hindered the movement from moving proactively to address issues relating to the subordination of women. | | | Despite the contributions which women have made within the historical antecedents of the Rastafari movement, women within Rastafari have often been relegated to a subordinate and inferior status justified by Biblical interpretations. |

| | In spite of Rastafari's religious character and the attempt to make it a reform Christian movement, it is neither a Christian nor an African traditional religion; it is a tertium quid, a different kind or religious species among New World (if not New Age) or nontraditional religions, one that is distinctly Caribbean. | | | Rastafari sistren are becoming more vocal and active in the movement, especially in the Twelve Tribes of Israel (one of the recent influential groups in Rastafari), than they were before 1980. | | | In this regard, Rastafari is more than a religion. |

| | Religious Movements Homepage: Rastafarianism |
| | The practicing of Rastafari faith is not as structured as most other world religions. | | | Rastafari rituals are of two basic types: reasonings and the "binghi." The reasoning is an informal gathering at which a small group of brethren generally smoke the holy weed, ganja, and engage in discussion. | | | As a sign of change, Rastafari women have become quite vocal against these beliefs and practices, and some have defied such conventions as covering their dreadlocks or wearing only ankle-length dresses in public. |

| | Rastafari Movement |
| | The Rastafaris draws their beliefs from the bible which they believe to have been incorrectly translated from the Aramaic and, for that reason, to contain some mistakes. | | | The family structure is a patriarchal one and therefore woman is subordinated to man, though she might, often, be the earner of the house. | | | Women, however, seem to have a lesser role in the movement as a whole. |

| | Rastafari Theology (CESNUR) |
| | Rastafari is, thus, a syncretistic faith including elements from the Western esoteric and occult tradition, Christianity, and Jamaican and Caribbean lore (including the trademark Rastafari dreadlocks, and the use of ganja). | | | In the latter sense, Rastafari, or a branch of it, may eventually become a "Selassian" Christian Church, no less Christian for its veneration of Selassié as a prophet and a saint (just, Spencer notes, as there is a "Lutheran" Church, named after Martin Luther but certainly not claiming that he was the messiah). | | | A portion of this divine spark or essence, eminently manifested in Selassié, is present in all Rastafari faithful, if not in all human beings, within the framework of a sort of gnostic pantheism true to the occult-esoteric connections of some of the "founders". |

| | Rastafari - |
| | Rastafari is a movement of Black people who know Africa as the birthplace of Mankind and the throne of Emperor Haile Selassie I, a 20th Century Manifestation of God who has lighted our pathway towards righteousness, and is therefore worthy of reverence. | | | It is this outlook to which Rastafari becomes more than a doctrine, religion or even faith; it is a way of life which, like life itself, continues to grow in mind, body and spirit... | | | No person can say, ‘This is exactly what the Rastafari doctrine is,’ because the beauty of the faith is that it is seen through the eyes of the beholder, not through the eyes of a priest, vicar or pope. |

| | The Rastafari Movement cited this birth as the fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah 9:6-7: | | | There, the Rastafari Movement exercised their right to worship H.I.M. Haile Selassie freely, which worship involved the mystic use of the herb of Solomon (cannibus sativa). | | | Thus, the prophecy in Isaiah that “He shall smite them with the breath of His lips and the words of His mouth” was, in the eyes of the Rastafari Movement, fulfilled. |

| | Republic of Rastafari - The Rastafari Paper |
| | The advent of the 1974 overthrowal of the government of Emperor Haile Selassie I and His so-called death sent a shock throughout the Rasta movement compatible with the crucifixion of Joshua The Christ, for the followers of Christ, not having an answer to the crucifixion accepted Pauline-Hellenic doctrine. | | | The fact that the Rastafari movement can overcome such profound challenges going on seven decades, leaves no doubt, it is here to stay. | | | The worst thing that could have happened to the Rastafari community took place 25 years ago, when it was said Haile Selassie was no longer in the land of the living. |

| | The Rastafari Paper Part IV - Graduation Time ~ at Runboard.com |
| | Rastafari claim that Marcus Garvey foretold the rise of H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie when in 1927 he told a church congregation, in a Kingston church, they should "look to Africa when a black king shall be crowned, for the day of deliverance is at hand". | | | For a zodiacal birth chart relating to the Twelve Tribes of Israel is not sufficient education for the Rastafari movement, reading a chapter a day from the Schofield Bible will not educate a man to be a Rastafari or nothing else for that matter. | | | Here are more Bible verses used by Rastafari to claim the deity of Emperor Haile Selassie as Savior and Messiah: Revelations 22 :16, Ezekiel 30, Epistle to Timothy, Psalms 9, 18, 68, 76, 87:4, Isaiah 9, Revelations 17:14 (a reference used for his return to Ethophia in 1941 from exile). |

| | The Rastafari take the King James version of the Bible literally. | | | This attitude is not universal, but Rastafarianism has come a long way and, although it has met great resistance on its journey, it has overcome many obstacles. | | | Rastafarian biblical doctrine does not provide comfort for women: it states that man is superior to woman; her knowledge of the scripture is a direct copy of man's; she is not allowed to speak in Assembly; she is seductive; she bears the stigma of "periodical uncleanliness," which is a restriction placed on her by God. |
