Public entry: Mind blowing Christology

[melyndie]

Christ did not ultimately die for you. Christ died for God. When I heard that for the first time this week, my whole paradigm went for a wild ride.

Christ died for God, and God was satisfied with Christ

Your comment was only 1/3rd the length of my post, so it's not long. ;-) I bet this comment of mine is going to be lengthy-ish, though!

Yeah, I totally know what you mean. I don't think about song lyrics that much although I know I should. I think we can get ideas and our worldview from them without realizing it.

I never thought of "Lord I Life Yor Name on High" before! Wow. I haven't sung that in years (since we went to CBC), but I'd never really thought about it before. Yeah, showing the way and being the way is surely different. :-P

can be so powerful and can have some of our best doctrine in it.

Yeah, that's why hymns and Christmas carols are so good--they're just full of doctrine! :-)

Hey, doesn't Steve Camp go to your church? Or used to be the music pastor or something? I want to find out the rest of those lyrics! Not to say you could ask him for them or anything LOL. Actually, I know someone I could ask: my theology professor who was the one who showed us those lyrics in class last week, but the thing is, I know he's REALLY busy this weekend correcting tons and tons of our papers before Monday, and I don't want him to feel like he has to take the time out and type up all the lyrics for me, so yeah... I'll get them eventually. :-) And it would be nice to actually HEAR the song sometime too LOL.

Um, yeah, he used be pastor of something...maybe singles? I dunno, anyway, he's not there anymore, he's back in TN (or wherever he was originally from) 'cause they weren't able to sell their house or something.

I can check in the Bookshack tomorrow (if I remember! :-D) to see if they have "Mercy in the Wilderness." The words will probably be in the CD cover thingy...but do you want the entire CD if they have it? Otherwise, I don't think I can really help you with the words... Oh wait, Mom can prolly ask someone in the Music Dept. If you want her to ask, let me know. :-) Or if you want me to look for the CD, let me know. :-)

About the user icons...sure, I'll take some! :-) You know what I like (prolly better than I do! ;-)), so whatever sounds good to me. (Btw, this can wait until after finals. :-))

Thanks for offering to check at the Bookshack for me! Yeah, it wouldn't be much of a help unless I purchased the CD, though, which I don't really want to do for just one song. And I don't want your mom to go through the trouble of asking someone in the music dept. for the lyrics, so I believe I shall be patient and ask my professor when he isn't so busy. Thanks for offering to help, though!

Check your email for icons. :-D

Okay, that's fine.

Yes, I got your email--thanks! :-D I'll have to try them soon. :-)
