Vincent Vega Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 From Wiki: "The Rastafari movement is a monotheistic, Abrahamic, new religious movement that arose in a Christian culture in Jamaica in the 1930s. Its adherents, who worship Haile Selassie I of Ethiopia, former Emperor of Ethiopia (1930–1936 and 1941–1974), as the Second Advent, are known as Rastafarians, or Rastas." *Recalling of course that true worship occurs only in the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass.
desertwoman Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 You forgot Hebrew Israelite. A lot of my family are.
Mark of the Cross Posted June 21, 2010 Posted June 21, 2010 You ask some tough questions US. I wouldn't answer a poll like this because I don't consider myself able to make such a judgement. Hopefully the answers won't start any squabbles. I prefer to just keep my eyes fixed on Jesus and the Church he started. It might have been good to include an I don't know option or to get the views of the people that follow those religions.

Guest ThomasIgnatius Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 I cannot consider Baha'i abrahamic because of their belief that the Buddha was a prophet.

In fact I think it logical that Jesus would have taken the middle line and have been between black and white. One of the nice things in East Timor is that the people range from black through to white and all shades between, so colour is never noticed. Well not until I got there, they were intrigued about the white patch on top of my head.

Seven77 Posted June 22, 2010 Posted June 22, 2010 Rastafarianism is idolatry b/c it is adoration of a mere human (who happened to be a Catholic, btw)

Socrates Posted June 25, 2010 Posted June 25, 2010 I find it interesting how more phatmassers apparently consider Islam a genuinely Abrahamic religion, as opposed to religions such as Rastafarianism. Mormonism, Seventh-Day Adventism, etc. Islam is a false religion which blatantly denies the divinity of Christ, and the truth of the Christian gospels. Like the more recently-founded cults such as Mormonism, it claims to be the true fulfillment of Abrahamic/Mosaic religion while denying essential Christian doctrines based on the "revelations" of a self-styled "prophet." I don't know whether it's because Islam's older origin makes it regarded as somehow more legitimate than the 19th and 20th century cults, or if it's out of a certain politically-correct reverence towards Islam which seems fashionable in certain Catholic circles today. Islam is no more true religion than the other false religions and cults listed, and in fact holds gives Christ a lower standing (as a merely human "prophet") than most of them. (And whatever else might be said about them, the number of Mormon suicide-bombers and JW jihadists are, as far as I know, remarkably low.)
