There was a discussion going on yesterday on a nother Social Media Channel about the divinity of H.I.M. Haile Selassie I and if he is the reincarnation of Jesus Christ.

My statement:

"Since nobody can interfere in the realm of God we should tolerate and live side by side with those of other faiths.
No one should question the faith of others, for no human being can judge of the ways of God."
(H.I.M Haile Selassie I)

On the visit of India's Prime minister H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie I. quotet:

In the mystic traditions of the different religions we have a remarkable unity of spirit. Whatever religion they may profess, they are spiritual kinsmen. While the different religions in their historic forms bind us to limited groups and militate against the development of loyalty to the world community, the mystics have already stood for the fellowship of humanity in harmony with the spirit of the mystics of ages gone by.
(Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan)

So it seems he was very well in knowledge about the religious and mystic traditions of India which are based on the concept of reincarnation.

Some more statements of H.I.M. Empoeror Haile Selassie I. about Jesus Christ:

"When Jesus Christ was born from Virgin Mary, from that time on He lived an exemplary life, a life which men everywhere must emulate. This Life and the Faith that He taught Us assures Us of Salvation, assures Us also of Harmony and Good Life upon Earth. Because the Exemplary Character of the Life of Jesus Christ it is necessary that all men do their Maximum in their Human Efforts to see to it that they approximate as much as they can the Good Example that as been set by Him." (H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie I.)

"It is quite true that there is no perfection in humanity. From time to time we make mistakes, we do commit sins but even as we do that, deep in Our hearts as Christains we know we have forgivness from the Almighty. He taught Us all who seek Him shall Find Him. To live in this Healthy Life, a Christain Life, is what makes Me follow Jesus Christ." (H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie I.)

"I know I am saved , not by anything that is of character or work of the human heart, but by the blood of Jesus alone." (H.I.M. Emperor Haile Selassie I.)

To clear it up a little, maybe we should take a little field trip into Indian point of view:

NAMASTE
"Namaste. I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides. A place of light, of love, of truth, of peace, of wisdom. I honor the place in you where when you are in that place, and I am in that place, there is only one of us." Mohandas K. Gandhi ("Mahatma", means great Soul)

If someone in India worships a tree, a ant or anything else, they do not bow before the shape and form, but of him, it etc. who created this wonderful being and must live somewhere in the essence of this being.

So for some one just educated in Western philosophy it would look like that they bow before an animal or a plant - but that ain't true - it is just the own wrong misunderstanding.

What is the teaching of the bible ?

You should believe in your own understanding of things and trust your own heart or you should follow the counsel of the Almighty ?

Knowledge won't save nobody - still we are saved by the blood of Jesus Christ and the grace of the father.

"Haile Selassie" is Ahmaric and means "Power of the Trinity" (ahmaric, Ge'eez ቀዳማዊ ኀይለ ሥላሴ, Qädamawi Haylä Səllase)

His name as Prince (ahmaric "Ras") Lij-a Ras Täfäri Mäkonnen (ልጅ ራስ ተፈሪ መኰንን) - Ras (Ge'ez: ራስ, translit. ras, lit. 'head', compare with Arabic Rais) -- One of the powerful non-imperial; historian Harold G. Marcus equates this to a duke - so "Ras" is a ethiopian noble title.

"We should seek similarities more than differences" (Dr. Vernon Carrington)

Jah Bless

Selassie - "Defender of the faith" (one of his titles)

"Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures," Luke 24, 45

"Jesus sagte zu ihm: Ich bin der Weg und die Wahrheit und das Leben; niemand kommt zum Vater außer durch mich."
