I got it! It means this your god is human afterall. He cares about letter cases so much. Maybe he was lying when he said "...my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways". In fact, my ways are superior compared to his 'cause i would care less if my name was written in lowercase letters. Egocentric god i must say.

You have a conscience and you know that my God exists. As for the insults, you can go ahead and insult Him. He still loves you. And this whole thing isn't about letters. He is never referred to as god in my Bible. But He is called God, ok? Please notice this: There is nothing you can say against my God that will ever make Him hate you. But you can do it as long as the earth remains. When this world rolls away, or natural death which happens to everyone visits, then, you will account for your words and face judgement. That's just it.

I surely know all your gods exists but only your fantacies and imaginations. Your imaginery god will judge his creations. I am not one

luckyz4rea:


It is possible to believe the wrong thing as the right! Truth for lies, but the truth will always prevail soon or later!

The church that i know isn't what you have described! Those are business ventures you are referring to as we know they've turned it into.

But you, me, and everyone know that the way to life is through Jesus but only refuse to come to terms with it.

Really? so you guys worship a supposed true god in business ventures? The truth is already prevailing like you said

chemystery:
Which Christ? The one the Isrealites denied? The Isrealites are still waiting for thee same god of israel that you profess to to send their Messiah because Jesus didnt fulfil the Messianic prophecies while citing evidence and prophecies from the same bible that christians use.

Strangers now understands the history, people and god of israelites more than the israelites. It is like the whole of the world understanding and arguing Nigerian history against all Nigerians. Isn't that ridiculous?

you really need to catch up...

gbam! nice one

chemystery:
What is fallacy here? Is it that christianity isn't the religion with most adherent or rastafarianism isn't the least?

The fallacy is that neither christianity and rastafarianism are true religion
James 1:27 specifies what genunine and faultless religion is

chemystery:
Isn't the way to christianity broad that you can find a church or place of worship in every nook and crannies of every street in any part of the world?

Isn't the way to christianity so broad that you can't walk out of your street or even put on your TV in the comfort of your home without hearing people preaching or trying to invite you to their church?

Isn't the way to christianity so broad that every Tom, Dick and Harry is erecting even canopies as church with loudspeak positioned in 4 cardinal points to make sure every Tom, Dick and Harry listens and join the broad way to destruction?

Still doesnt qualify rastafarianism to be a true religion

chemystery:
Now tell me, is it that easy to join rastafari?

Yes, roll a joint

chemystery:
Have you seen or heard of their place of worship anywhere in Africa?

Yes, Ethopia

chemystery:
How many of their members have you seen all your life both in real life and on TV?

If giving famous names, then Bob Marley

chemystery:
The road to christianity is too broad and many are just flocking in. People convert to christianity than any other religion in the world

Though many enter this broad,
rastafarianism have no claims to have entered through the small gate and the travelling on the narrow way
Few find the small gate, and those few that find the small gate arent from rastafarianism

chemystery:
This is evident from that portion of the bible that rastafarianism and not christianity is likely to be the true religion

IKC10:
Just say that you didn't understand what God was saying there. The majority of people aren't born again, and do not want to follow the way of righteousness. They want to make it quick and now without following God's laws. But few want God's way. That's what the Bible means, ok?

Gbam!

chemystery:
And who are the majority? Christians. It means Christians are not following the way of god.
Christ says he is the way. Christianity means christ-like, meaning christians(followers of christ), being the majority, are following the wrong way. The bible didnt mention righteous or unrighteous. It says many and few which can both comprise of both the good and bad, but what matters most is if they are the broad way(Jesus way) or the narrow way (rastafarianism).

You will say christianity is the right way to god, but here the bible dismissed that

Some people will call you a nigger
(i.e. this to some degrees is similar to what happened in Acts 11:26)

Some people will shame and treat you like a nigger
(i.e. this to some degrees is similar to what happened in 1 Peter 4:16)

Some people giving the chance, wouldnt ever want to become a nigger
(i.e. this to some degrees is similar to what happened in Acts 26:28)

Being called a christian doesnt fly, just as you arent defined by what others call you
(e.g. I suppose, calling you a nigger, wouldnt fly with you)
Being treated like a christian doesnt fly, just as you arent to be treated because of ill-conceived ideas and bad definition of you.
(e.g. I dont think, shaming you or treating you like a nigger, would fly with you)

The word, Christian, occurs only 3 times in the bible, and each appearance was in the context of contemptuous ridicule
(i.e. Acts 11:26 and Acts 26:28)
or around being shamed and subjected to mockery (i.e. 1 Peter 4:16)

²¹“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven.
²²Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’
²³Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
- Matthew 7:21-23

The lake of fire will first freeze up before you'll ever come across the word ''christianity'' in the bible

The ''MANY'' referred to in bible verse, Matthew 7:22 above, inarguably is what christianity is all about (i.e. false religion)
James 1:27 is the only true religion God recognises and approves of

If all that didnt qualify rastafari as true religion, then christianity is far from being a true religion. For every one rastafarian you mention, i can mention hundreds of thousands christians. The only rastafarian you can mention is even late and lived far in south america. Is this not evident that these ones are the few your bibke mentioned. Even ifthey themselves have no claims of being the few, your bible have claimed it for them. If you claim rastafarians are not the few, then tell me a god and religion with the fewest followers

I'm only seeing 5 billions people that have not yet known about Christ or come to His knowledge

And only the few (rastafari) does the will of the father. Not so? Christians are the majority not doing the will

ellagabs:

you are outdated. Jah rastafari rules...

That's 68.5% of people who are not christians.

Where the op gets the idea that christ meant "Christianity" will have the fewest adherents compared to other religions, I don't know since Christ said no such thing.

Because someone decides to call you a nigger, doesnt mean you too answer to being called a nigger
You are using a misnomer, the disciples, apostles never themselves called each other christians

If it had said the fewest enter, although very very unlike, then maybe rastas would stand a chance

Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this:
to look after orphans and widows in their distress
and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world
- James 1:27

Pure and genuine religion in the sight of God the Father means
caring for orphans and widows in their distress
and refusing to let the world corrupt you.
- James 1:27

The bible, in James 1:27, as seen above, identifies clearly and definitely what religion is

chemystery:

I keep telling you, christian, is a misnomer

Rastas are not the only few, there is.
Rastas being the fewest in your proffered list still dont qualify to be included among the few entering the small gate

chemystery:
99.99%

My point was as I said before, Christ never claimed that "christianity" will have the least adherents."

“Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it."

If there's only 31% of Christians in the world that means only 31% found that path to life, meaning 68.5% didn't. Few found it, many didn't.

Ps, obviously I'm ignoring some complications (conversions, denominations etc)

The statistics you did for christianity, do same for Rastafarianism and you will obtain 0.01% against 99.99% which indeed represents more truth as regards to that bible portion

Ask anyone to mention a rastafarian they start and end with few reggae musician. That data you see there is from wikipedia and we can both deduce from it that ratafarianism is the fewest. What other few are you seeing there that no one else is seeing? And who told you rastafarians dont care for orphans and widows in their distress?

Such act don't even need religion to execute but empathy

According to Matthew 7:13-14

13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.
14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

From the data below which enlisted all religion and estimated number of adherents, it is evident Christianity is the MANY the bible is talking about while Rastafarianism is the FEW

The broad or narrow way has nothing to do with your statistics attending church or not my friend. It simply means the commitment of living a holy life. God is not interested in quantity but in quality. You have just thought like a man but man's thought are not God's and his ways are not our ways.

luvmijeje:

Nonsense. Rastafarians will teach you how to love ur natural self. You Christians are self hating what exactly can you teach?

OP, I do kinda appreciate that rastafarians are about afrocentrism and rejecting animal fat. However I do see them as an offshoot of christianity because some of their beliefs are founded in the Bible.
