Sorry to drag up an old thread, but I have a contribution to make :) I am a Bujinkan Budo Taijutsu practitioner (ie. Ninjutsu) in one of the apparently few dojos in the world which actually trains hard and for realism. I can understand why your perspective is that "Most of Ninjutsu is bull"...

Talitha, I have been a born-again Christian for 11 years and have been brought up in a Christian home my entire life. For several years now I have spent as much time as I can trying to be completely honest with my relationship with God and working out exactly what he has in store for me. I am...

HeavenzAngel - I agree with you. I want to be a Christian! Which is the very reason the lyrics seem wrong TO ME. Sprint3 - you speak words of wisdom and that is something I don't get to hear enough of outside the Sunday services! You actually clarified the point I was trying to make. I...

No no, I am after answers, and I don't recall throwing any insults around. You're obviously reading what I have to say with the wrong mindset, which is quite typical of a Christian who refuses to accept criticism as a possible form of growth. I have not put down any individuals, I have sought...

I only started listening to music when I was introduced to punk rock when I was 13... Eventually I changed my tastes to some metal groups and then to the progressive/experimental scene. I can't stand 99% of what is played on the radio, I hate hiphip, r&b and rap with a passion. Search on...

Sherri - if you have no answer then you can just say so ;). Carrymeaway - I know that most churches are messed up. I've been to more than one, and not at any point in time have I blamed every single person in the churches in question on all the problems. The problem is that the 'mob' of...

Well oopsie, I posted this in the wrong section...

I do :( It's kind of frustrating, because I only like a few bands and I don't want to get sick of them :D It's hard for me to find more bands to listen to because I'm very picky. Anyone else like this? I'm into groups like Symphony X, Dream Theater, Pain of Salvation, Muse... I...

Symphony X - The Eyes of Medusa

And there I was thinking nobody liked Papa Roach anymore... Well we can always dream :P

Well, my Hillsong attending friend, why don't you ask the original author of the song what his intended meaning was? Or do you have to pay money to speak to Hillsong celebrities now? I'm surprised your church hasn't started charging an entry fee. Believe me, I respect what Hillsong has...

Young people like to get moving before they like to worship. Most young people don't even know what they're singing in the more upbeat songs (I've been involved in youth ministry for 10 years) BUT to me it is important that the band plays songs with real meaning. I am not familiar with many...

But it is a poor selection of words. For those of us who have a good grasp of the English language and see most meanings of words and phrases, there are certain meanings which always stand out. Comparing God's love to 'living the life that I want to' isn't even a logical comparison - not that...

Denial is fun, isn't it kids? :) But I won't get into criticising mainstream, trendy Christianity any longer, I'll just get yelled at.

This is absolutely GOLD I wonder how long it's gonna take?

I want to live as a follower of God and Jesus Christ. I don't want anything else. Are you trying to tell me that I don't? Because that's exactly what the line in the song says and that's where the problem is. I'm sure there are people out there who are only Christians because they feel they...

Wow, and nobody has noticed yet that this thread is FOUR YEARS OLD! Thread necrosis is funny :D

Ok well when I first heard this song, the first thing that stood out to me was this line: "Better than living the life that I want to. (your love is)" Now to me, all that says is "I'm a Christian because I have to be, not because I WANT to be." I'm sure that was not the intention of the...
