What are some of the beliefs of Rastafarianism?

Rastafarians believe in Jah who is the same God that the Jews and Christians believe in but the difference comes in with your understanding of him. The way Rastas understand god is through the ways he reveals himself to us. Jah reveals himself to humanity through the Trinity. The Trinity is basically the three faces of god. These faces are God the father, God the savior and The spirit of God. God the Father is the God that is portrayed in the bible we call him almighty Jah. God the savior is the manifestations of Jah. This manifestations of Jah are the Messieurs that Jah has sent us. These would include Jesus Christ and His Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie 1. The spirit of Jah is the Holy Spirit that came down on the disciples of Jesus on Pentecost. Rastafarians also believe in Emperor Haile Selassie who was the Savior sent by Jah to free the black people from colonialism and Racism just the same as Jesus was sent to free the Jews. This is the corner stone of The Rastafarian Faith. Jah is an active God who sympathizes with his Children who struggle to live in Babylon.
