1 | RELIGION HOMEWORK HELP | Rom 12:2 | LimeJuice | 40683 | ||
All I can say is, you are blind, and you pick sentences out of the opera like some people pick sentences out of the bible, VERY out of context. You don't see and I'm not interested in persuading you to see, only God can make people see love. The End. Lime. |

2 | RELIGION HOMEWORK HELP | Rom 12:2 | LimeJuice | 40465 | ||
The writers seem to have known enough about Jesus to know that He was not any ordinary man. . When we are infants, we gaze up into our Father's eyes lovingly, we don't know a whole lot about Him, our relationship with Him is new, as far as our minds are concerned. . Now, as we grow up, we learn more about our Father. Certainly we learn that He is all powerful, but do you honestly think that Jesus, as 100 percent man and 100 percent God, was not physically and emotionally exhausted (the man part) as the crowds sought Him out for healing and all of their needs? The play makes one ponder this point. . Can we really ignore how someone else sees Christ, and the different revelations that they may have? We know that if everyone were just like us, the whole body of Christ would be one big toe, or one big elbow. But as it is, an elbow has a different function and a unique relationship to the Head, and so on and so forth for each part of the body. Were the play writers just infants in the Lord at the time of their authoring the play? Who are we to say, no they weren't? So you are older in Christ, does that mean, that if you wrote a play about Jesus, that your portrayal of Him would be any more accurate? Could there be things about God that you might not know, and therefore misrepresent Him in some ways? Oh yes. So, the play writers had faults. They weren't accurate in everything they concluded. God looks at the heart. Would they follow Jesus today if He showed up at their door? Maybe they would follow Him more closely than you realize. Maybe they already are. Could God take the love and little understanding they had about Him, and reach people? He does it every day. He does it through you. You are faulty, but if you ever present the gospel to someone, and that person accepts Christ, your faulty views of God don't stop the Holy Spirit from touching the other person. You have some views of God that are right on and correct, and some views that are faulty, we all do, we are human. You cannot say that you know everything there is to know. So all I'm asking is for you to view what is in the glass, and not what is left out. You may be surprised that the little that is in the glass, because it is God, and Holy, is enough to quench a thirst for a lifetime. Lime |

Ed, I thank you for the tone of your response and the love and respect you give me, even though you disagree with my opinion. I find that the most heartwarming thing I have run across in this whole dialogue. I still disagree that the play portrays Jesus in an unholy way. So we disagree, not a big deal to me. I appreciate your kindness more than you can imagine at this point. In Christ, In His Love, Lime |

4 | RELIGION HOMEWORK HELP | Rom 12:2 | LimeJuice | 40341 | ||
Paul said he rejoiced that the guys in jail were saying the name of Jesus despite what they were saying about Him, because the name of Jesus was being spread. I guess Paul and I share this in common, we don't think we know it all, we aren't hyper-critical of others' experiences with Jesus, only glad when the focus is on Him. Your comments here are biting and unnecessarily harsh, and to me, show a complete lack of humility and a great deal of pride in your own mind. You act like you have it all figured out, what is right, what is wrong, what is sin, what is not, and I'm just saying, you need to seriously take another look at what it means to stand humbly before God .... because you aren't doing it here.

6 | RELIGION HOMEWORK HELP | Rom 12:2 | LimeJuice | 40339 | ||
You write "It does not matter how much the foolish people who put on Jesus Christ, Superstar may love Jesus." But the Bible writes, "Whoever lives in love, lives in God, and God in Him." 1 John 4 You write "you lack both discernment and teachability if you refuse to listen to the number of wise brothers and sisters on this forum who have pointed out to you exactly why the Jesus of the musical is not the Jesus of the bible." Just because you and a couple of other people on this forum have criticized what the Holy Spirit did in our Youth Group through this play, isn't going to make a dent in our relationship with Christ, our growth in Him, nor our fond memories of how we shared God while seeing this play at different churches and enjoying the album as we fellowshiped with one another. I'm sorry you cannot see it, but I think it is time for this dialogue to cease. You are doing nothing but criticizing me and the Holy Spirit in my life, and I know that is not how God intends for christians to communicate with each other. Lime |

I find this whole conversation unfruitful. I said simply, I listened to the album with my youth group when I was young, the Holy Spirit touched me through it, I accepted no "different gospel," I accepted the One and Only Jesus Christ, and I am tired of defending myself and God in me .... as I said numerous times before, if anyone has a problem with Christ in me or the Holy Spirit working in my life, please take it up with the Lord, as He alone is my righteousness. Weary Now, LimeJuice |

very good answer, Chearie, John the Baptist indeed was a powerful preacher! John Chapter One ...... 6ÊÊÊThere came a man who was sent from God; his name was John. 7ÊÊÊHe came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe. 8ÊÊÊHe himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light. Love, Lime |

You will have to take this matter up with the Holy Spirit, what He is able and not able to do, rather than with me. Love, LimeJuice |

You ask "why would the Holy Spirit dwell in an unclean place?" God loves us, and the Holy Spirit dwells in a clean place because of Jesus' blood and His mercy, not because of any works that we do. God works through empty vessels all the time, it is only when we are empty of our own selves that the Holy Spirit can fill us and the power of God can manifest itself through us. The times that I have truly experienced His Power are the times I have been most humbled. You write "the portrayal of Jesus in Jesus Christ Super Star should be stench in the nostrils of any genuine Christian" I listened to it with a heart that was open to the Holy Spirit, not a mind that was judgmental. I was a teenager, accepting the Lord into my heart. This is not stench, but it is beautiful, and if you cannot see it, I'm sorry, but it does not make my experiences any the less real, or any the less beautiful, and it does not negate the Holy Spirit's work through this play. Now, I am tired of defending myself, as it means little to me to be judged by you. Love and Weariness, Lime |

I didn't see The Last Temptation of Christ. You write "I am most definitely attacking your wrong-headedness in trying to put God's blessing on anything and everything that makes even the most vague reference to the Bible." I don't need to put God's blessing on things, God does this Himself. Whether you choose to see the blessing or not. Love, Lime |

hmmmm .... the churches that I went to, who put on the play, did not hate Jesus Christ. Don't you think you are limiting God? It really doesn't matter, God will work through whomever He wishes to reach whomever He wishes despite whether some humans believe He can or not, or it is "proper" or not. LOVE Lime |

I'm not held back by your legalistic thoughts or critical thoughts, my statement stands, and my statements do not contradict scripture. I refuse to be put down by people who do not understand what I speak is Holy. |

now you are comparing apples and oranges, but let's stretch it, since anything is possible for God, what IF the Holy Spirit chose to speak to someone through In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, baby? Would you deny them that experience? Well, it wouldn't really matter, since the experience would be between the Holy Spirit and that person. You should rejoice, but instead, you criticize, don't you see how dangerously close to "phariseeism" that is? IN LOVE! Lime |

19 | RELIGION HOMEWORK HELP | Rom 12:2 | LimeJuice | 40105 | ||
It is erroneous for you to think that I cannot experience the Holy Spirit simply because I experience something you do not. We are to love one another, have humility, and allow the Holy Spirit the liberty to work within and through others in different ways than He would work through us. This is scriptural, Paul said he HIMSELF would become all things to all people for this hope. I am so disappointed that you cannot urge yourself to open up your heart and love other people who are different from yourself. Even though I truly experience the power and presence of the Holy Spirit, you deny that I have, and even go so far as to mock my experience with Him. Justified in Christ Alone, LimeJuice |

There are those who will not go see certain movies because they are afraid, there are those who will not celebrate the sabbath on Saturday because they fear it is really Sunday, and vice versa, there are those who will only eat fish on Friday, there are those who will not eat meat because they are afraid, there are those who will only worship God in a Catholic church, there are those who will only worship Him in a charismatic church, or presbyterian church, or methodist church, etc. etc. etc. and so it goes .... and so it goes .... perfect love casts out all fear .... to those who feel all the above things are sin, I respect your beliefs, now please respect my feeling of freedom from all of the above ..... as the Holy Spirit so advises the churches ..... for that is truly who I am, I am free in Him, and do not consider any of the above a sin. I love Jesus in Jesus Christ Superstar and I love Jesus outside of Jesus Christ Superstar. I simply love Jesus. Now, if anyone has any problem with me, please take it up with Jesus, He is my Righteousness, my Advocate, my Lawyer, my Savior, etc. etc. etc. and so it goes and so it goes. LOVE, Lime |
