Obey them that have rule over you, they watch for your souls. Children obey your parents in the Lord. “Follow me as I follow Christ”. All these come to mind.

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭18‬:‭18 Jesus doesn’t seem to equivocate on the trust of authority He vests in His church.

The population explosion, global warming apocalypse, Y2K, Mayan calendars, rapture date setting….scaremongering has been big business for quite some time now.😎

Speaking of church music choices, maybe a church could use Tommy in their opening offer story as a segue into a sermon on blind Bartimaeus?

If you discipline your child by grounding them but after supper they leave and go stay all night with a friend, what’s wrong with their choice?

Are you speaking of actual water/flooding? Or tongue in cheek about some Armageddon? In our area we’ve had several recent rounds of devastating flash floods. Ironically, the author/article linked in the OP makes the argument that the economic implications for prediction markets and becoming a...

I see. I suppose I can say I ain’t surprised. You said earlier “Freewill one word would view the Free Will two words as liberals”, so could you elaborate on what issues make up the division (ie, what makes them “liberal”)?

Excuse me for being a bit blunt, but I find the premise of your claim of there being a difference in the two (Free Will or Freewill) to be a distinction without a difference. Are you pulling our leg?

The theology would be a more objectively measurable entity as far as morality. The musical notes would be far more subjective. The same could be said of the traits being described and prescribed by “decently and in order”.

Assuming you are being sincere, I would ask what irritates you about it. The theology, or the musical arrangement?

But is it? The concept of doing thing everything decently and in order does come to my mind here. I don’t think that it could be said of that type of music that it has done, decorously, with nobility, and good form.

I imagine Flock is getting overwhelmed right now with feedback and questions from people. That doesn’t excuse their lack of response, but again, I would imagine they don’t have the resources to respond the avalanche of questions and requests given to them in this tempest.

In the other thread that I talked about going to the reformed church recently there were four “singers” on the left side of the church platform, and the musicians were on the right side. Of those four singers, one was much more clearly “performative” with their body gestures (including how they...

I think this begins to hit at the core of our discussion. Is the emotions that are affected by music a product of social conditioning to the music, or by the very nature of the sounds produced?

Wow, talk about a blast from the past…Great to see you around here again, brother! Don’t be so scarce.
