Subject: Kathy, Is "Lifting His name" Biblical? |
Bible Note: Hank and Searcher; Double posting is probably bad manners, but these comments are addressed to both of you. You guys really need to lighten up. In my church, we occasionally sing this litle chorus: Lord, I lift your name on high. Lord, I love to sing your praises. I'm so glad you're in my life. I'm so glad you came to save us. It may not be Isaac Watts or Fanny Crosby, but it simply and honestly praises Jesus. Do you actually believe that the intent or the effect of this song is to re-crucify Christ? Do you actually believe that the words violate some command or principle found anywhere in the Bible? Hank is right; we should stop "playing silly word games". All this huffing and puffing about a common English word that neither Jesus nor John ever spoke has gone way too far. The poor guy who made the mistake of separating John 12:32 from John 12:33 was thoroughly chastised in a different thread. The rest of this argument has been an exercise worthy of the Pharisees. So tell me, gentlemen, how many angels CAN dance on the head of pin? Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
