Jt:Thanks for making my point for me.
Oh, I see. You set
me up to prove your point which is that noone actually knows for
sure what anyone else is saying - and to
prove this you write
an obtuse sentences with no ending? This may be so out there in
Babel but in the Kingdom of God we
speak Kingdom
language and there is no doubt. Let God be true and every man a
liar....
Jt: By the way, no offence intended
but, has anyone ever told you that your offspring
are.........
My offspring are what
Lance? Why do you assume everyone knows what you mean all the
time?
I have no idea what you
are talking about.
Sorry you
have decided to leave Debbie but I think I understand - What I
don't understand however is in what way you perceive Bruce
Cockburn to be Christian. I didn't know who he was so I
enquired at his website and found the following:
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________
Over the course of three decades, Bruce Cockburn's ability to distill political
events, spiritual revelations and personal experience into rich, compelling songs have made him one
of the world's most celebrated artists. And, as the title of his
27th studio album, You've Never Seen Everything, suggests, few
musicians have been as curious, probing or provocative as
Cockburn.
Written mostly over the last three years, the album's 12 songs
reflect Cockburn's
deepening frustration with a world out of balance. "We're
confronted with great darkness as a species right now, as spiritual creatures on this planet," says
Cockburn. "I don't think it's hopeless, and I don't want this
album to make people feel hopeless. But I think we've got to call
a spade a spade."
Songs like the tense opening "Tried and Tested," the hypnotic
"All Our Dark Tomorrows" and, especially, the swirling jazz of
"Trickle Down" represent some of Cockburn's angriest and most political
songs since his "Call it
Democracy" and "If I Had a Rocket Launcher" classics of the
mid-1980s. "You
look at war and environmental problems and you look at what's
causing them and what's preventing us from solving them and the
trail always leads to human greed," says Cockburn. "Somebody's getting paid to keep it that
way or make it worse. Everyone's wondering what it all means and
what we can do about it."
Cockburn's solution comes through in some of the most powerful
songs of hope he's ever written: the joyous "Open," the euphoric
"Put It in Your Heart" and the gorgeous closing "Messenger Wind."
Says Cockburn: "What I see happening in the face of all this
darkness is something new in human spirituality, openness, some sense of our common destiny.
We've got to keep nudging ourselves in the direction of good and
respect for each other."

Nothing on this website
suggested he is a follower of Christ and the above sounds more
political than anything. Noone who sees God as sovereign and still
on the throne is concerned about any of the above since the world
has been "out of balance" since the fall and He is able to handle
both environment and take care of human greed; I don't
see "human spirituality" and Christianity as one and the
same. Do you?
Well, folks, it has been genuinely fun
"meeting" you all, but I don't really have time to continue my
participation on TT, much as I would like to. The huge
investment of time has not been without a return, but there are
other things I need to give the time to! So I'm off. Thanks for
the welcome and interaction; some of you have been very
encouraging and mind-expanding. For those who remain on the
list, here's a song by one of my favourite Christian artists,
Bruce Cockburn:
When thoughts rush by
and your signals seem to
fly
keep it open
keep it open
some will lag behind
but we needn't be
unkind
keep it open
keep it open
and help me keep mine open
too
sun stoned in the
east
in our eyes let there be
peace
keep it
open
keep it
open
and help me keep mine open
too
Debbie
