Why do people need a book, even if it is a
translation or (per)version of a manuscript, of
which the originals have long been lost? Why do
people... need something in this creation and
treat it as if this is God Himself?
Indeed.
Asking the question, is answering it.
Oh yes, we all know about the critique from the
"bible-believing Christians" about the
believe of many of my Rasta brothers and sisters
that the Ethiopian Emperor is JAH. But they
themselves believe in a book and call it the Word
of Jah, Which we know is JAH Himself!
So why do people need that book? Why do people
use that book as their Gateway to God? Yes: as
God?
Obviously, it has everything to do that we are
-in our natural state- unable to reach Jah. Since
the fall, we are cut from direct contact with our
Creator and all we had left was our place within
Creation.
Still, the Creator maintains His Creation. He
reveals Himself through Creation too. Jah even
steps in His Creation and shows Himself to us many
times.
He does so, through the Bible and through the
Ethiopian emperor. He does so, by revealing
Himself all over creation!
In the last verse of the gospel according to
John, the apostle states that Yesus did so many
things that if they would all have to be
described, the world itself could not contain the
books.
So we know, yes, the Creator has really done a
lot of things to reveal Himself. But as soon as
Jah reveals Himself, a particular law of nature
comes into action.
It is the law of decay, that came into place
when Adam and Eve ate from the fruit and became
initiated in the mystery of iniquity. It is the
law that dictates, how nothing in this creation is
eternal. How nothing in this creation can last
forever. How nothing in this creation is perfect.
It is, if you will: the law of sin.
It is, if you will: to have the knowledge of
good and evil, which means nothing else than to
have only a partial knowledge of good rather to
have something on top of "knowledge of
good". (SEE:
"TO KNOW GOOD AND EVIL")
Our partial (dis)ability to "see
good", which obviously means nothing else but
to "see JAH", requires us to initially
be confronted with some thing in creation which
will refer us to the Creator Himself, Yesus
Kristos!
We need something in this creation to show us
The Way.
We need a witness.
We need a tangible witness.
