Was Bob Marley part of the Twelve Tribes of Israel?

Question

Please don't bother answering if you don't have anything to offer. I like Bob's music no matter his religion but I'm just curious. I know that for most of his life he was a Rastafarian and worshipped His Imperial Majesty Haile Selassie I, but I have seen many places claim that he was part of the Twelve Tribes of Israel, which is a sect of the Rastafarians but with one major theological difference, the denial of the worship of Haile Selassie I. One of the many places I read this is here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twelve_Tribes_of_Israel_%28Rastafari%29#Twelve_Tribes_of_Israel so I was just curious, to be a part of the TTI one must deny Haile Selassie I as God, but Bob would constantly speak of Haile Selassie as being perfect and God, so therefore how could he have been part of the TTI? I am just curious so please no hate saying things like, "Who cares about his religion." and things of that nature please. Thanks.

Answer 1

No body is bothering to answer!

The Rastafarian faith was based on the original twelve tribes wasn't it...Haile Selassie was a direct descentant of the ancient houses of Israel so there has always been a cross-over between the two...I think they were too stoned to be purists over the differences...

My (rasta) mates have always considered the two to co-exist side by side

Answer 2

t.t.i c.a chapter. read the bibble for yourself one chapter a day. 3 and half years to complete in this manner.. sometime longer. my first readin took me 5 years. only than you will understand the union of Israel and the house of david in Ezekiel chapter 37.. the founder of t.t.i brought the house of david and the house of Israel t.t.i. in London. zara yacob dicendant and grandson of haili selasi I. zara yacob his imperial highness now. is a member of t.t.i.. is the spiritual regadering of Israel in this times. no longer true the blood line of jews. that's what Ezekiel chapter 37 breaks down.. bless
