[QUOTE="Jerry (Jay) Owens, post: 68815157, member: 382005"] Growing up with a newly converted Christian mother, she used to play this album almost non-stop, but only the first 3 sides. She felt the crucifiction to be too upsetting and when I discovered it and played it, it broke my heart! I was always blessed by this music and she always made sure that I knew to check the music against scripture. Even as a child, I knew that there were parts that were not scriptural. i.e. When Jesus screams at the thronging crowd to "...heal yourselves!" That is not in the scriptures, but I also understand there was a certain amount of artistic license taken and realized that in life, we are responsible for knowing the truth and being able to discern such error. My wife finds it sacriligious, thus my searching and finding this thread. I guess I am undecided and will have to continue to seek the Lord on whether He finds it blasphemous, after all THAT is really the question. Opinions may vary but what should matter to all christians is whether it pleases our Father or not. After all, our primary goal should always be to please Him. So, with that said, I humbly give my opinion which is that at this time, I find it to be a beautiful piece of art that focuses my attention on the sacrifice that God the Son made and the anguish that he experienced for the redemption of our sins! So, until God convicts my heart and tells me otherwise, I will continue to listen to it. [/QUOTE]
