Re：Rowan Williams Date Posted：29/04/2011 7:06 AMCopy HTML Eric, I personally don’t go much for this type of music (just an old “stick in the mud” I guess) but at least the emphasis (lyrics) is on the Lord and not on 'I'...'I'...'I'..., as most of these songs are about today. I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C.S.Lewis.

Re：Rowan Williams Date Posted：30/04/2011 7:45 AMCopy HTML Eric,
I…yi yi yi I got….! Just because ‘I got’… is that; what makes God higher than any other, a healer, more powerful, greater, I think not. I believe there is too much emphasis placed upon what we, as Christians, are supposed to receive from the Almighty and can be a bit delusional to what God’s intention for us how we should ‘worship’. We all are sinners and will continue to sin regardless of what we may think of ourselves up on a high pedestal, being more powerful, and better than anyone else (I speak in terms of Revivalist thinking). For sure, we are to worship God in “psalms, hymns and spiritual songs, singing and……….” giving praise and glory to Him and that is how it is meant to be, but ‘worship’ is all about God, not “ME/I” Not about what God can do for us but what He has done for us through Jesus. When we pray and have communion giving thanks that He no longer imputes sin upon us, having faith and giving Him the glory that death has been conquered and because of the resurrection the possibility of the redemption of all things created, you and I included. In today’s society it’s “All about Me!” attitude, and this produces lack of empathy and no consideration for the needs of others. Not the Christian position I’m afraid. I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C.S.Lewis.

Yes but the context is 'our' first person plural, not 'I' or 'me' first person singular .. and I think it fair that God belongs to His people because that is the element of covenant.. Eric |

Re：Rowan Williams Date Posted：30/04/2011 9:12 AMCopy HTML Eric,
That may be so but isn't it fair to say a lot of this type of "worship music" does nothing more than cater for the entertainment of the flesh? Selah I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C.S.Lewis.

Feelings, nothing more than feelings, trying to forget my feelings of love. Teardrops rolling down on my face, trying to forget my feelings of love. I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C.S.Lewis.

Re：Rowan Williams Date Posted：01/05/2011 4:00 AMCopy HTML Seems like you’ve missed my point entirely, the emphasis needs to be upon glory to the Lord and not entirely on ourselves so that we may “feel’ good. Go attend a service at an orthodox church and actually ‘listen’ to the words of the hymns that are sung, not so much the music. It is about God not us. When there are lots of ‘I’s in the verses, I believe one is thinking of oneself too much and not placing their faith in God. I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C.S.Lewis.

Re：Rowan Williams Date Posted：01/05/2011 10:26 AMCopy HTML Reply to Biblianut You have missed the POINT,WORSHIP songs,what has faith got to do with singing to God and Jesus and telling them how much you love them and and giving them praise?Seems like you’ve missed my point entirely, the emphasis needs to be upon glory to the Lord and not entirely on ourselves so that we may “feel’ good.

Engaging your heart your with the Lord,but no you guys are too busy studying greek. David danced before the Ark of the Covenant and was despised for it.Do you despise those who wish to Rejoice and praise God? "feel"good,you are a dry old fart, Php 4:4 Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say, Rejoice! |

Re：Rowan Williams Date Posted：01/05/2011 11:02 AMCopy HTML So you are still willing to quote scripture and 'defend' Christians hey? even thou you confessed you're no longer one. Hypocrite.
You really are a sad case, at least we are still engaging as Christians can't say the same for you. All you seem to be hell bent on is calling people names. ( No need to respond any more as you will be ignored by at least me from now on. Complying to Moddy's request to ignore trolls.) I believe in Christianity as I believe the sun has risen; not only because I see it, but because by it I see everything else. C.S.Lewis.

Re：Rowan Williams Date Posted：01/05/2011 2:14 PMCopy HTML Isn't it true God knows our heart without making a big deal out of it?
