This only means that you are not speaking just in your own behalf but according to the Bible and laws of God

Royal Arch Masonry

"Jah" figures prominently as a name of god in Royal Arch Freemasonry, and some have speculated that this may have also influenced Rasta, especially as some early Rasta teachers were Freemasons. Someone with a better grasp on this than I might be able to integrate this info into the main article.

Ther problem is we need sourced material to include it. See Wikipedia:No original research. No idea whether you can source this. I haven't heard of it but it sounds credible, SqueakBox 15:52, 26 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

To the best of my knowledge Emporer Selassie began calling himself Ras Tafari (As he is refferred to by all of the Rastas that I know) upon coronation. I've never heard him called Jah. Jah could be equated as the Christain God and Ras Tafari as Jesus.

And how is the word JAH connected with human's body (mind)? It is obviusly that the name JAH is resting in the deepest centre of human soul. Because people of different nationalities and languages always use same cry (scream) when they are going in the battle: JAAAH! Karate fighters, gladiators, samurays, Indians, Zulu warriors, Germans, Slovenians, Irish ... : in the emotional distress every man or woman finds his real language - he (she) calls his (hers) eternal God, no matter to wich religion he (she) belongs. Yes, JAH is cry for help. On the other hand, JAH is scream of joy and celebration (yaaah, yahoo, yoohoohoo, yuhey, yiha ...) We also weep in the mistic voice of this Word, and more: we are born crying this Word. Consider that we could say that JAH is the oldest human word. But JAH is not connected only with emotions - it is naturaly tied with fenomens of breathing, like laughing, jawning and sneezing. Obviously God is pouring his name (image) into very human blood.

Bob Marley this and Bob Marley that

In this article, as well as in some other, in different languages, statements are made about the reggae artist Bob Marley. But sources can rarely be found. In this article the author claims that Marley accepted Jesus Christ as the real Messiah just before he died in cancer. But there is no source. Other articles even claim that Marley was against the use of Marijuana. But there are no sources. Once an wiki-article in Español stated that Bob Marley turned to Bahá'u'lláh, and the proof given in the article was that Marley's son "Junior Gong" should have mentioned that in one version of a song about his parents. My suggestion is that Bob Marley must be wiki-treated with objectivity and not as the one with the most high knowledge about a religion. Personally I think that Marley believed in Selassie and Christ and Moses... but I have no proof for that. --Caspiax 14:46, 4 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Add sources, add sources!

Killer. Peace. You have said add sources when I mention the Name Yah, when the entire article doesn't have any sources to back up their material. Anyway, I've added the source. Peace. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alleichem (talk • contribs) 08:44, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The only problem with your "source", is that it is an open-source webpage that may be edited by absolutely anyone, thus not meeting our standard for reliable sources. Can you possibly find the same info in a peer reviewed publication? Til Eulenspiegel (talk) 11:18, 18 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
