Baskadia

Greetings in the name of His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I, Jah Rastafari, Who liveth and reigneth with I'n'I, Continually, ever faithful, ever sure. Jah Rastafari!

Today, my beloved brothers and sisters, we gather in the spirit of love, unity, and righteousness to explore the topic of "How to Identify a True Christian." In a world filled with diverse beliefs and practices, it is essential for us, as Rastafarians, to reflect on the qualities and characteristics that define a genuine follower of the teachings of Christ, for His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I, was a devout Christian who walked in the footsteps of the Messiah.

As we embark on this spiritual journey, let us draw wisdom from various sacred texts and the words of great leaders and thinkers who have illuminated the path of righteousness.

The Holy Bible (John 13:35): "By this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another."

The Holy Bible (Matthew 7:16): "By their fruit, you will recognize them."

The Holy Bible (James 2:17): "In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."

The Torah (Leviticus 19:18): "You shall not take vengeance or bear a grudge against the sons of your own people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord."

The Quran (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:177): "It is not righteousness that you turn your faces towards the East or the West, but righteousness is in one who believes in Allah, the Last Day, the Angels, the Book, and the Prophets."

The Divine Principle (Rev. Sun Myung Moon): "True Christians are those who live a life of true love, serving and sacrificing for the sake of others."

Hon. Marcus Garvey: "A true Christian is one who embodies the spirit of Christ, striving for justice, equality, and liberation for all."

Dr. Kwame Nkrumah: "A genuine Christian is a tireless advocate for the rights and dignity of all people, guided by the principles of love and unity."

His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I: "Christianity is not a mere faith; it is a way of life that calls us to love, serve, and uplift the oppressed and downtrodden."

The Holy Bible (Micah 6:8): "He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God."

My brothers and sisters, a true Christian, a true Rasta, true Muslim, true Jew, or whatever your faith may be, you are an incorruptible being and your faith must not be defined solely by words but by actions, your love for one another, and commitment to righteousness and justice. Let us strive to embody these qualities in our daily lives, following the example set by His Imperial Majesty, Emperor Haile Selassie I, and living as true disciples of the teachings of Christ.

The Peril of Our Inaction

Throughout history, our ancestors have bestowed upon us a rich tapestry of traditions and values that have shaped our identity as a society. These customs, rooted in our cultural and religious heritage, are the threads that connect us to our past and provide us with a sense of belonging and purpose. However, in recent times, there has been a growing sense of unease among some about the encroachment on these traditions by what we term the "WOKE" movement. This sermon explores the dangers of our collective inaction in the face of these ruthless threats, how it is rapidly eroding the legacy of our forebears, and how it is destroying the fabric ofthe American society and the Western world.

The First Amendment: Our Shield and Our Responsibility

The cornerstone of any thriving democracy is the First Amendment, which enshrines the right to freedom of speech and expression. It empowers us to voice our opinions, celebrate our values, and challenge ideas that we may find in conflict with our beliefs. Yet, in our current climate, our reluctance to speak out against the EVIL WOKE threats to our traditions has allowed the suppression of our voices both online and in our workplaces.

The Conflation of Disagreement and Hate

One critical issue that needs addressing is the conflation of disagreement with the imposition of personal beliefs. Disagreeing with certain societal shifts, such as changes in marriage norms or stances on abortion, should not automatically be equated with hate. It is crucial to distinguish between expressing differing opinions and attempting to force one's own desires upon others. Respectful discourse and open dialogue are essential in preserving the fabric of our society and upholding the ancient traditions of our forefathers.

The Importance of Cultural and Religious Pluralism

Our society thrives on diversity, embracing a myriad of cultures, religions, and belief systems. The Rastafarian faith, for example, is a testament to the richness of spiritual traditions that coexist within our broader Christian heritage. It is through peaceful coexistence and mutual respect for these varying belief systems that we can learn from one another and forge a more inclusive society.

Preserving Ancestral Traditions in the Face of Babylon Threats

Adapting to change is a natural part of human evolution. However, it is equally important to safeguard the core values and traditions that have sustained us over generations. Our inaction in the face of Babylon evil threats risks allowing the erosion of these foundations, potentially leading to a loss of our unique cultural identity.

Conclusion

Our ancestral traditions provide us with a compass, guiding us through the complexity in Babylon.  In order to preserve the legacy of our forebears, it is imperative that we engage in open, respectful dialogue about the challenges of Babylon oppression and brainwashing forced upon us.

By exercising our rights under the First Amendment, we can contribute to a society that cherishes love, embraces its cultural heritage, and remains resilient in the face of Babylon's oppression and imperialism. As people of faith, we define Babylon as the evil ways and culture of the liberal West (homosexuality, abortion, imperialism, racism, war, aggression against militarily inferior countries for exploitation, censorship of opposing views, cheating, lying, vote rigging, bribing, drugs, free sex, alcoholism, adulatory, fornication, and all that our God of Isaac, Abraham, and Jacob detest). It is through this absolute mindset that we can ensure that our ancient traditions and culture continue to flourish, enriching the tapestry of our shared human experience with love and tolerance.

As we walk this path in remembering 9/11, the lives of our brothers and sisters that were lost on this sad day by the evil terrorists, and the lives of our servicemen and women sent to their early graves by Bush #2 and the Deep State through lies and fake news, let us remember the words of Emperor Haile Selassie I: "Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted, the indifference of those who should have known better, the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most, that has made it possible for evil to triumph." Let us not be silent; let us be true Christians, Jews, Muslims, and African spiritualists in the eyes of Jah, our Rastafarian faith, and the world. BABY MUST BE DESTROYED!
