Thanks for visiting. The thing is Rhonda, you can’t change the meaning of the lyrics. If Peter Gabriel’s focus of the song is the love of a woman, then a Christian artist who sings the same exact lyrics doesn’t change it into a song about God. It is still about the love of a woman. Does that mean if a freemason were to sing the same song, it’s meaning would somehow change to be about the all-seeing eye?

Mainstream christianity seems to have this desire to rebrand everything in sight. It started with pagan Xmas and continues today with entertainment.

By the way, I linked to your blog from the Slice of Laodicea blog commentary section. I commented on Ingrid’s post of 11/22 about Harry Potter. I basically said that Christians should use individual conscience to figure whether Harry Potter and other secular movies/tv are a good thing. If you would like to know more about that, email me and we can talk about it.

In looking at our historical heritage I have found some very helpful tools, some over 500 years old, which were used in the past to train believers in Biblical doctrine.

Those who used these tools were the means by which Europe was delivered from the dark ages. I also believe that the basic constuct of Western Civilization started when the the scriptures were translated into English and the tools that our brethren then compiled as the training tools.

Some things you might look into:

Geneva Bible/King James Bible/Tyndale Bible
(These are reliable because of the Greek and Hebrew texts that were used. The modern ones have opted for a text concocted by men who deny the resurrection, the authorship of the Penteteuch by Moses, the second coming, etc…)

Foxe’s Book of Martyrs (the original three volume Foxe’s not the Reader’s Digest Version.)

The Westminster Confession 1689 and the Westminster Catechism. (The New England Primer, containing much of the smaller catechism, was the 2nd grade text book in American Public schools for the first 200 years in this country.)

The Heidelberg Catechism.

These are the major tools used by our forefathers in the faith to train a generation that literally altered the face of the earth. That’s the kind we need again.

Sorry if these are thing with which you are already familiar. I still use them.

The only true antidote is the Word. If we read it, live it, love it, share it, dwell on it, and ask for wisdom from God, the Holy Spirit can teach us and protect us from false doctrine.

Sometimes it is best not to be around what currently passess for Christianity. Their condition is airborne and creates antibodies which make folks almost immune to the real thing.

Keep your insight in place—-do not relinquish the discernment you have been given.

I am still expecting to see a new group organized called Hookers for Christ!
