In
a reasoning concerning an open letter which
I wrote to all Christian Reggae Artists,
containing a clear warning for the parasite
called CCM or Contemporary Christian Music,
part of the Christian Industrial Complex,
I was faced with a certain critique
concerning my meditations.
The critique is serious, and I would like to
adress it to the fullness. I thank the
writer of the critique for adressing the
issue, as it gives not only an opportunity
for me to clarify myself on my position, it
will also in my humble opinnion improve
clarification on many other issues as well.
Below is the full posting, which can be
found HERE.

Greetings
once more!
MD, it is not my intention
to discredit you, if you
think that is the case.
Simple fact is just that I
don't agree with 1. your
approach and 2. your
message.
First of all, let's not
pretent that the approach or
attitude is unimportant to
Jah. The bible has a lot to
say about our attitude,
about the way we should
treat other people, and I
think you know what it has
to say. So appoach is not
something unimportant.
Secondly, I don't agree with
your message. So MM and
others have a different view
on christians that smoke
marihuana. So what? A lot of
people, christians, rasta's
have different opinions on a
lot of things. I don't
consider that to be a
problem. At least, as long
as it is not about major
things. To me this is not a
major thing. I know I'm
getting a bit off topic, but
I will say it anyway. To me
is more important that you
have a philosophy that says
that if someone is not
against Jesus, he is for
Him, and then reason on
claiming that everybody who
doesn't have a problem with
Jesus is ok with Jah. Now
that is a much more
important issue than whether
MM and others have different
opinions on smoking ganja,
or whether or whether not YY
is gospelreggae. You see the
speck of sawdust in your
brothers eye, but do you see
the plank in your own eye?
By the way, when I would be
responsible for records that
sell, I think I would do the
same thing as MM, because I
don't think it is a good
example for the youth when
artists smoke ganja.
Now about gospelreggae.com,
I don't have any problem
with this initiative. They
are my brothers and sisters
who make music with a
biblical message. So what if
that is called the christian
industry? If I go to a
christian bookstore where
they sell good christian
books, I don't care if that
is called the christian
industry or even CCB (contemperary
christian books). I am a
christian, they are
christians, and yes, we may,
as christians, have
different opinions on
different matters. Not a
problem to me.
Again, if you want to be
worried about things, be
worried about your own
philosophy which says that
people in the end, don't
really need the King of
Kings to be saved in the
Kingdom of Jah. Now is that
not Babylon? Let's keep
focused on the main things,
not on details.
You say you would love to
stand corrected, but is that
really true? Can you still
reason with me if I talk
like this, or can I expect a
dissing just as some time
ago? I'm just saying things
as I see them, and I'm not
gonna be a hypocryte. This
is how I see it, whether you
like it or not.. |

Serious things indeed. As I allready said, I
am gratefull for the opportunity to clarify
myself on my meditations. I hope and pray,
that all those that are genuine Truthseekers,
Lovers of the Truth, will be blessed with an
abundance of Light on a matter which some
would rather keep in the dark.
Dear writer, I do not blame you personally
for the accusations that you have put on me.
Because I recognize the critique and I hope
that I can lift your burden by showing you
not only why the critique is wrong, I will
also show you the source material which was
abused in order to spread these lies about
me.
JAH and a number of brothers and sisters are
my witnesses in this matter. I am not afraid
for any scrutiny on this matter, in fact I
applaud it.
So let me adress these issues to the
fullness.
There are two things going on here.
The first one is that for some people, the
use of Ganja is a "major issue".
We can find examples on this website in
which it is clear how using Ganja makes
certain Christians put an anathema or
excommunication on other Christians.
The second one is, to use two quotes:
"you have a philosophy that says that
if someone is not against Jesus, he is for
Him, and then reason on claiming that
everybody who doesn't have a problem with
Jesus is ok with Jah."
"your own philosophy which says that
people in the end, don't really need the
King of Kings to be saved in the Kingdom of
Jah."
Now this is a very serious accusation! It
is a theological accusation, which if it
were true would make me stand outside of
True Christianity. However, if they turn out
to be not true, then not correcting one's
self from this accusation is a very serious
expression of disdain for the truth.
This is about love. the Bible says, that
Love is Happy With The Truth. So whatever
the truth is, we should rejoice in it. Not
trying to hide away the seriousness.
Now, the two quotes in my perception speak
about the same thing, yet they are two
entirely different things.
Do I say, that when you are not against
Yesus Kristos, you are before Him? Yes, as a
matter of fact I do. I do this, because the
Bible quotes my Lord and Saviour Yesus
Kristos, Who is the Only Way of Salvation,
in this.
Question: Who are the group of people in
Matthew 25 called the Righteous and who
visited Yesus in jail, and gave Him food?
They had obviously not accepted Yesus as
their Lord and Saviour. But they were good
to what Yesus calls "the Least of my
Brethren".
If you treat a disciple of Kristos like
dung, He will see it as being addressed to
Him.
If you treat a disciple of Kristos good,
like you visit him in jail, He will also see
it as addressed to Him.
And that's why Yesus will tell them: Enter,
for ye have given me food to eat.
Go ahead, pick up your Bible, Matthew 25.
People who say they worship Yesus and do it
not, are what the Rastas call the Xians, the
followers of the White Geezus.
These people know the Name of Yesus very
well. they use it to make money. To gain
popularity. Even to drive out demons and
"save souls".
But by doing these thing in Yesus Name
without committing JAH Work, they paint the
white geezus in front of many people.
And some people look to Selassie because
they only see a white geezus when they look
to Christianity. I would blame Christianity
more then any Rasta for this.
Yesus is the Only Way to JAH. This means,
that YESUS KRISTOS holds the keys. It
doesn't mean, that when someone never had
the chance to get to know the Real Yesus
(for example because all the so-called
Christians around him worship the babylonian
white geezus) that this one will
"go to hell".
It is up to HIM to decide who goes to heaven
or not. Not to me or whoever else but YESUS
KRISTOS, JAH!
And it is up to us to share our faith in
Yesus Kristos with everyone who likes so. I
never done anything else, I will never do
anything else.
On my website, there's a link on almost
every page that will lead you to a
page which describes the Gospel of Yesus
Kristos in clear and plain terms.
On this forum I have written 100's of pages
in public communications in which I time and
time again point out to the Gospel of Yesus
Kristos. For example, this
very interesting debate in which I am
very clear about my believe.
So how come, that one thinks that my
"philosophy which says that people in
the end, don't really need the King of Kings
to be saved in the Kingdom of Jah."?
Why would someone thinks such a thing about
my message where I
scream it from the rooftops so to speak,
that we are all in need for Yesus Kristos
the One and Only Way to the Father?
This can only be, because such a person is
disinformed.
And so he is. Seriously disinformed.
What is the root of this disinformation?
What is the source? Have I been accused more
often in this manner?
As a matter of fact, I have. It was in a
publication about me, even though the
complete article didn't mention my name. The
writer of the article had other names for
me, in order not to drive people to my
website where they could find out for
themselves how he was spreading false
witness about me.
This article was called "Mark
Mohr's Response To The Essay".
This article suggested to be a response to
some essay, but in reality it wasn't what
the title suggested. It was a resonse to a
correspondence that this person Mark Mohr
had with me. An e-mail correspondence, which
cannot be publicly verified even though it
will shortly after the publication of this
article be put online for verification. For
more information about this correspondence,
see this
link.
The accusation that was written in this
article which I just mentioned, was one of
"Universalism". A claim was made
how I was saying that even a Buddhist would
be saved when he would "not be against
Yesus". However, this is not what I
say. Even in the correspondence that the
writer Mark Mohr refers to, I made this very
clear but he choose to ignore it...
So, I hope that the concern which was
expressed in the letter which I quoted in
the start of this article is taken away.
In anyway, it is clear that those who claim
that I am a New Ager or a Universalist have
absolutely no documentation to back up their
claims where evidence of the obvious truth
that I believe in Yesus Kristos The Only Way
To Salvation is abundant.
Those who accuse me of denying that Yesus
Kristos is the Only Way to Salvation are
either disinformed, as I believe the writer
of the letter which I quoted is, or they are
consciously spreading false witness.
And yes, the writer of "Mark Mohr's
Response To The Essay", is spreading
false witness. Not only about me, but also
about the correspondence which he claims to
refer to.
I am awaiting replies.
One Love,
Messian Dread
