REGGAE Philosophy & the CHRISTIANITY Doctrine

Reggae music was not originally built on the foundation of Rastafarian doctrine. Instead, it served as a powerful vehicle for promoting Rastafarian beliefs and messages.

While Reggae and Rastafarianism are closely associated, they are distinct entities. Reggae music provided a platform for Rastafarians to express their spiritual, cultural, and social views, helping to spread their philosophy to a broader audience. Christianity also uses Reggae music to spread the Gospel!

It's important to note that many Reggae enthusiasts do not necessarily adhere to Rastafarian beliefs. On the contrary, Reggae music has been embraced by people of various religious and cultural backgrounds, including Christianity and other doctrines. The music’s universal appeal lies in its ability to convey messages of peace, love, and social justice, which resonate with a wide range of listeners.

It is with this strength and tenacity of the passion that drives Reggae music that promote the changes deeply-rooted in its message. Everything Reggae is fundamentally-based on ‘love, peace and justice!’

        “Just take these chains away and set me free,                                                             Remove me out of bondage, we’ll agree.                                                                       Too long I have been a slave, I don’t want to be no more,                                         I would rather dig my grave than be locked behind a door,                                     Whether you are black, whether you are white,…                                                         Oh, won’t you set me, set me free?”
