| | ROOTSIE.COM - Rastafari |
| | Rastafari as a movement began in one of the poorest, blackest, places in the world, in Jamaica, inspired by Marcus Garvey as a call for Black unity, Black identity, and Black empowerment. | | | So in Rastafari you have existing side by side mystics, who see man/woman and God as one, and 'stricter 'ones who seek to adhere to the letter of Hebrew law and read the Bible literally. | | | Rastafari is now a global movement that originated as a call for black unity out of the heart of the African diaspora. |

| | Rastafari History by Norman Reddington |
| | Rastafari was not a religion, a human organization, or a philosophy, but an active attempt to discern the will of JAH (God) and keep it. | | | Another source of "pagan" thought in Rastafari was the religion practiced by the thousands of East Indian labourers imported to Jamaica after the abolition of slavery. | | | Besides the heretical syncretist groups, however, a legitimate Orthodox Rastafari Movement continued to flourish as the backbone of the Jamaican church. |

| | Jamaica Gleaner - 'True Rastafari is true Christianity' - Thursday October 25, 2001 |
| | Today there are many sects as in your religion and others but originally the "I and I" concept was meant by Rastas (those of today who still hold these beliefs would be called Nyabinghi) to show that Man is God and God is Man. There is no separation spiritually between the divine and the human. | | | The Bible truly is the answer to all the many questions on Rastafari. | | | They however bend a few laws to meet their lifestyle, but the fundamentals of their religion are all old testament based. |

| | Articles - Rastafari movement |
| | 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. | | | Their religion is difficult to categorise, because Rastafari is not a centralised organisation; and it is left to the individual Rastafarians to work out the truth for themselves, resulting in a wide variety of beliefs entering beneath the general umbrella of Rastafari. | | | One of the three major modern sects, the Twelve Tribes of Israel, has specifically condemned all types of racism, and declared that the teachings of the Bible are the route to spiritual liberation for people of any racial or ethnic background. |

| | 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. |

| | BigUpRadio :: Champion Sound - 24/7 Reggae Music and Culture |
| | Influenced by traditional Judeo-Christian religious thought Rastafari is a theistic system of belief and worship drawing its scriptural authority from the commonly accepted Bible of the Christian church. | | | To the orthodox theologian, the most unsettling assertion of Rastafari is the inherent divinity of His Imperial Majesty (H.1.M.) Emperor Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, who the brethren proclaim to be the true and living God. | | | Yet it is not merely a derivative of Judeo-Christian teaching; the brethren (followers) of Rastafari bring to the scriptures a unique, afrocentric interpretation that varies radically from that of the uninitiated on important theological issues. |

| | Since much of Rastafari is based on the Bible, it is no wonder that they incorporated the Christian ethic of womyn's inferiority into their own religion as well. | | | Furthermore, before the 1970s, womyn of Rastafari faith were referred to as a Rastaman womyn. | | | The patriarchal aspects of Rastafari can be seen in the fact that, traditionally, womyn could not join the Rasta faith through their own volition. |

| | The Ethiopian World Federation and the Rastafari Centralization Organization, along with various houses and mansions of Rastafari sects like the Bobo Ashanti, Nyabinghi and the Twelve Tribes recognize and revere Haile Selassie as the Black Christ, the Comforter and lineage to their divinity. | | | This means the houses and mansions of Rastafari as well as the organizations such as the Ethiopian World Federation, the Rastafari Centralization Organization and other grass roots sectors must come together as one on other tenets, just as they came together on the Black King's divinity. | | | Like Buddhism, Rastafari is a path or process to enlightenment that is always in progress. |

| | The Twelve Tribes, one of the most influential and mainly middle-class Rastafarian sects, believe Jesus is a manifestation of God like Haile Selassie, and many members sound like evangelical Protestants when reciting biblical verses on good and evil. | | | Today the rebellious side of Rastafari religion in the United States is expressed primarily through reggae, and in some cases a refusal to work in mainstream jobs. | | | It was the second-generation converts who instituted dreads and ganja and increased their opposition to Western political and economic domination ( ``Babylon'' ) through street marches and defiance of the police, said University of the West Indies anthropologist Barry Chevannes. |
