Hi guys;
Chetin - fair enough, sir - I see where you're coming from. I'd say that man
is under the curse of sin though, same with the earth - until renovated,
it's suffering under the curse of sin.
Claude, from the desert northwest...my thoughts, Emotion is valid in
righteousness, no problem there. (BTW - there used to be a saying, Silence
with Presbyterians is precious, but with Pentecostals it's a curse - hah!
that's another story!)
jeff - Ezekial 28:13 refers to Satan (Lucifer) being in the Garden of Eden -
" Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy
covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the
jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the
workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day
that thou wast created." Not only was he adorned in precious items, but some
scholars believe that he may have been created with the ability to produce
his own music physically with his own body architecture. I'm not saying that
the music realm is fallen in toto, but the music coming from the world is
not godly by nature. If we believe that God doesn't change, and that Gods
gifts/callings are without repentance (Rom 11:29) then I believe that Satan
still has the ability to influence secular music whose foundation is in the
world.
Obviously other angels still worship God with music, but are they without a
"leader" as such? Don't know. I tend to concur with David Alitz's POV.
Re: "Send me an angel", "You're the voice", "1000 miles", et al (Beatles
"Revolution" anybody?) - Nothing wrong with the Christian angle of these
songs in my mind, perhaps a bit foggy though - but why don't we Christians
trust in the Lord for our own inspiration instead of going down to Egypt
(Isaiah 31:1), my thoughts are that it smacks of commercialism and a profit
on a ready made commoddity. Instead of starting with the world as a
foundation, should we not start with God as the foundation of our ministry?
Peace.
ps - guys where's "KY" ?
