“My Sacrifice” clearly with Christian overtones...post on Creed’s role in Great Awakening (in comments): https://greatawakening.win/p/15IrKzBUpd/anon-studio-creeds-my-sacrifice-/c/
Always loved Creed.
He also came out anti Trump awhile back in their first comeback show.
And we say bye bye
Wow. My Own Prison was my preferred gym album while lifting years ago, I think I should listen to it again.
My Own Prison has lots of references to Plato’s Cave allegory, imo.
If you've never heard Mark Tromonti do Sinatra, Check this out.https://youtu.be/vSqQ7Bdpxn0?si=DYS0Oan7G3RfM2Qy
Agree. Amazing album.
so glad Scott didnt do something stupid back during his low point. I remember reading how he was going through some serious depression stuff. I imagine quite a few people prayed for him.
I suspect he was MKUltra-ed or at least trafficked or abused as a child. This is likely the cause of his psychological and drug issues.
There are no references to the bible or christianity or any particular religion in the Constitution.
Well lets just use a relevant example so you can understand. The lyrics to Creed’s song “My Own Prison” doesn't mention the Bible or Christianity or any other religion but its clearly referencing Christ on the cross. You dont have to say something outright to be influenced heavily by it. The word Creator in the declaration of independence is capitalized for a reason. The idea that rights are given to us by God and not man is a Biblical concept.
Further he didnt say the constitution mentioned the Bible or God just that our republic was founded on those principles.
He says we are a constitutional republic built on the bible and the word of god. I would think our Constitution would spell that out if that was the case. A lot of religions have Creators. I think it is left open on purpose.
Or it wouldnt to allow for the maximum amount of religious freedom while still employing those princples.
Where does it say in the bible god gives us the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? It seems to me god does what he wants in the bible, rights be damned. Whenever I bring up wiping out cities and even all life on the planet, christians say "Wulp he makes the rules!"
For future reference, "God" is spelled with an upper case G.
Only by believers. I don't feel the need to worship an invented creator of all things.
God never did any of those things without first warning and allowing those people time to change their ways. In some cases begging them to turn away from their evil ways for 400 years before commanding the Israelites to defeat them. God is very patient but eventually cannot tolerate wickedness for forever. Its one of those things when non belivers see evil happening they say “Why does God allow evil to continue” but when he actually does something about evil after giving the people multiple chances to change people say “God is a monster!”. You cant have it both ways.
When did god warn humanity about the flood? You know, when he wiped out all life on the planet?
Well Noah was considered righteous and received the warning from God and we know that others spoke with him so its pretty easy to see that he explained what he was doing and why and his explanation served as a warning. But even in absence of a outright warning the people had been wicked for a very long time and had rejected God not only in word but in deed. Like i said it is only a matter of time until God deals with pervasive wickedness. But the story of Noah is a harbinger of Gods willingness to save those who will follow him and repent from a wicked life. This is most fully realized in Christs life, death, and resurrection.
Canny the constitution references biblical principles, mostly pertaining to the teachings of Jesus, and not be somewhat influenced by it.
2/10 strawman pump it up
What principles?
So there's this thing, its called google. Its a great thing, amazing thing actually. And there's this thing, called reading, it works a lot to help you understand. I could explain it, but every tenant and belief of the constitution has relations with the good will of the Christian belief. Not my job to explain it, plus its baiting into an argument.
No one said or is incenuating there were "references" to the Bible or Christianity (by quote directly) in the Constitution, pertaining to the posted content. Which is what you are straw manning about.
You good?
How is what I said a straw man? It's a direct response. He will need to back up what he said or you will have to do it for him if you want to consider this settled. The Establishment Clause bans establishing a state religion. In light of that I think it's an exaggeration to say what Mr. "Rock Preacher" said there. So no, I'm not good with this attempt to frame our nation as built on the bible. He can say it but I can disagree with reason.
Because he didn't make a claim that the Constitution references "the bible or Christianity or any particular religion". You made a standalone claim irrelevant to the topic, intentionally, to straw man.
You could phrase your statement as a question, but that didn't happen.
I didn't say he made that claim. If I did then that would be a strawman. How is it not relevant to what he said that there is no reference in the Constitution to the bible and god's word?
Better question; what's the need to point it out?
Here's an updoot for being correct.
However, that's not what he said. Go watch the video again.
I did not say he said anything. I am pointing out there is no evidence in...the Constitution that we are a constitutional republic built on the bible and the word of god.
Lol, downvoting a true fact!
Was this last night in the Woodlands?
I was at Creeds recent Minneapolis show and Scott was explaining to the audience how we are a represetative republic and not a democracy. The lead singer for the opening band 3 Doors Down paused the show to share the gospel of Jesus Christ. You cannot tell me there is not a great awakening happening when listening to the response of 17,000 people.
