From Correspondence Mark Mohr <-> Messian Dread

The following letter was sent by me (Messian Dread) to Mark Mohr. It is taken from a private correspondence initiated by me after the release of what is now known as "the essay".

Mark Mohr's article "Response to the Essay" could better be named "Report from the Correspondence". But since he doesn't quote or refer people to the essay, and nobody is able to find the private correspondence which he "resports" from I have to provide some documentation.

The following letter was sent by me to him after he wrote to me what he aslmost literally repeats in his "Response". His interpretation of my "answers" in which he concludes that I am a new ager for saying Buddhists go to heaven for not being against Yesus. This was BEFORE he published the "response" and after his wife (some think) posted the "Finmal Rebuke" in which I was declared satan.

Watch the Re:'s at the start of the subject.

"SUBJECT: Re: Re: Re: Re: A Final Rebuke To Messian Dread FROM: Messian Dread (XXX@dubroom.org) TO: Mark Mohr (XXX@XXX.com) DATE: October 25, 2004 Greetings Mark, Thank you for elaborating your position. Please take into consideration that Matthew 24 speaks about access to Zion for those who even give a drop of goodness to us. The way we are treated is for Yesus the same as the way He is treated. However I know what you mean and agree just being good in the definition of some religion like Buddhism has nothing to do with not being against Yesus. Buddhism is an attempt to gain righteousness outside of Yesus works. I also know that people have to know the Message of salvation but the question is how should that be done, or in our case, how shouldn't it be done, and to whom (not). Now pay attention please: that's why I published my essay. Three years ago you asked me not to publish it, and I didn't. But it is not good if this is not discussed in the open. I only have to point out to the things such as what we see at the loz-board. And that board is ofcourse symbolic for "the real world" where I see exactly the same. I see people "defending you" with a fierceness that can only be described as "who need opponents with such friends?"... XXX is an example, just one. XXX is another. The moderators see me as your enemy and delete my reasonings where the real unargumentated insults to you are all over the place. These insults are considered "Rasta reasoning" to which they respond with what they call "witnessing to rastas". That really makes me sick. They obviously do not recognize my intentions which is for me an indication they know nothing about Rasta culture. For I have yet to meet the first Rasta who doesn't overstand me. They are just worried about me because they do not recognize me as a Christafarian and in their mind set it is not possible to be a Christian with dreadlocks and not be a Christafarian. I think it is your responsibility to teach them. That is perhaps the biggest burden on my soul, results from what we know as "Christafarianism" and that is that the "misrepresentations" may be "workable" for you and I can even until a certain agree understand that pragmatic stance you have, but the ones who take your words like they take Gods Words (an I am not exxagerating) have really gone out of control. Also out of your control. Let me close with one example. I received this mail from a Christian who wanted my help because he wanted to do something with Reggae and his christian faith. I warned him not associate himself too much with the gospel scene. Needless to say that, completely inspired by the Christafari approach he "became like a Rasta" without even realizing what he was doing. Needless to say too, that the "buju effect" came after him too, as people were kind of angry with this thing, and I could only remind him to my warnings after he came to me with a "help! they're after me" mail.

For me, this shows clearly that Mark Mohr has only used those parts which he was able to spin in his ranting in which he made an evangelicalk correct sermon about preaching the gospel to lost souls in order to defend his spreading of his other gospel. I even didn't w\attack him on his Christafarian approach personally to take it out of the personal realm.

He has no excuse as far as I'm concerned.
