Here's the original: Leonard Cohen singing of a broken man lamenting how, though he once knew the Lord, he threw it all away for worldly pleasures. If you cannot see a cry to God in this song, then I guess you have lived too perfect a life for me to ever be able to identify with you.

Thank you. (I guess that's not the worst I have been called.)

As I have said before, whether listening to a song, or reading the Bible, most people will find the God they look for.

"Hallelujah", in its original version, is in 12 8 time, which evokes both early rock and roll and gospel music. Written in the key of C major, the chord progression matches lyrics from the song: "goes like this, the fourth, the fifth, the minor fall, and the major lift": C, F, G, A minor, F.[6]...

If you understand how to listen to the words, it is about turning from God, to trusting in humanly "love" and what happens to mankind when we do that . Several Biblical examples of men doing that are given.

It is one of my all-time favorite songs. (And, who told you it was supposed to be about the holidays?)

The main difference between Trump and other Presidents is that he doesn't hide who he is. Most of the others, we had to shovel off ten feet of bovine fecal matter to finally discover just who and what they really were.

I know you mean well, but I can't even bring myself to comment on that one. We are supposedly going to do something as serious as praying for someone, and we can't even take the time to type out a few words to reassure them their request is being addressed? Makes you wonder what the "prayer"...

Of all you have heard so far, I think Dino comes closest to being accurate. Jesus chastised the Pharisees because they operated strictly on "reason."

There really are some good people here. Vineyards of En Gadi.

My compliments ! That isn't something too many people know.

I like your screen name. Not a lot of people know of Ecclesiasticus 24:18 and Solomon 1:14.

…..……. what these people are singing about? Where does this come from?

It's easy to cheat and look it up. But, most people seem to think it has to do with an old American mobster.

No one seems to know what my user name means.

To start with, it was never a "career." I only worked on a volunteer basis with a local Psychologist, facilitating Behavioral Modification classes. I got into it because he had worked with me on some anger issues I had in a pretty bad way in my 20's, and he felt I could reach some people he...

If I talked "Christianeeze" to 90% of the people I've dealt with over the years, most of my efforts would have been in vain.

Think about that in conjunction with what we have been talking about. Even stodgy Traditionalists don't consider a woman wearing her hair up, to be immodest...…… but, do that in an old Japanese person's house, and they would think you were falunting. I think it has been well expressed here...

Did you know that in traditional Japanese culture, the nape of a woman's neck is considered the ultimate in erotic exposure?

My wife and I were talking to one of the women I most respect at church about a transvestite we know. We were explaining (or TRYING to explain) a rather embarrassing situation that occurred. After unsuccessfully trying to decipher our PC way of describing his obvious sexual excitement that...
