Do you beńieve that listening someone compare our religious leader and the direct representative of Christ on earth according to our beliefs with a beast with horns is being oversensitive?
Do you believe that reading how Mr. Morse compares our saints with pagan gods is being over sensitive?

I guess i believe that people are people. Luther was a great reformist regardless of his anti-Jewish beliefs. In fact God tends to use people who are far from perfect, the Bible has a lot of examples.You put people(saints) on a pedestals like the Romans put gods on a pedestal.That's his comparison. As far as Morse comparing the pope with a beast with horns i missed that in the lyrics. |

Themn why does he criticizes the Pope of those days, if "In fact God tends to use people who are far from perfect, the Bible has a lot of examples"
If you criticize somebody, you have to be better than him, a person who wants to exterminate a race (well two, he doesn't like the gysies either) or wtrites aberrations like this that would make Hitler proud:
Can criticize nobody.....For God's sdake, Mein Kampf is a nursery rhyme book conmmpared with this abomination that everybody seem to ignore.
Saints are people who received the grace of God, not a pagan divinity.
Just in case you missed that part:
Look I got two big horns like a lamb
Even though Peter was married I can't Look I've got great big armie like a General I may have a mistress but at least I'm a hetero Iván Edited by Ivan_Melgar_M - May 30 2009 at 13:27 |

That last paragraph by Morse is out of line,thanks for putting it up there,i don't have the cd with me here at work.
And i had no idea that Luther went to those lengths in his hatred against Jews. Like i said i just read some of his bio in Wikipedia which mentioned he was anti-Jewish. No wonder Neal almost didn't release this album,maybe he shouldn't have? |

Well, the truth is that Catholic Church didn't loved the Jewishs either, the Inquisition is a prove of that, but the point is that all the religions made mistakes but is important to notice them and give a step back as John Paul II did when he asked for pardon of the acts that were commited long before his time.
What is absurd is to keep atacking ourselves as enemies when we venerate the same God, even the Moslems and Jewishs accept the God of Abraham as their God.
I remember reading that when the puppet of Mike Rutherford in Land of Confusion (Or one similar) was used to represent Christ (I believe in a BBC program), the ones that protested were the Muslims, that was a nice gesture, being that Jesus is not even the principal Profet for them, but they showed respect.....Don't know if this is an urban myth, but Muslims have great respect for Christ

Wow, Ivan, that's some nasty stuff. I didn't know that about Martin Luther. Thanks for posting it.
What is the context of that "hetero" line. I can't tell from your original posting if it goes with the verses above it. Is he singing from the supposed viewpoint of the Pope?

Trust me. I know what I'm doing.

I am clueless about the absolutely out of context phrase, not something The Pope Leon X would say or even think in 1518, I'm sure nobody was tolerant with homosexuals then.
It's in the song "The Conflic" from Sola Scriptura

I like that line. That's pretty much because I agree with it though. However, I din't see it so much as an indictment on the CC, but rather on organized faith as a whole. There's quite a few evangelicals that hold marriage to be inconsistent with ministry, not just the CC. The gay thing is even more applicable given the homophobia of modern US religions. Yea ML got pretty intolerant. However, most of that was in his later years, well after the 95 theses. In his earlier writings he actually encouraged compassion in dealing with jews. I halfway wonder sometimes if some of his works weren't doctored by others for their own agendas b/c his viewpoitn varies wildly over the course of life. Maybe one just kicked him in the shin or something. |

Then is out of Context, because this is suposed to be a work about the Reformation, not about Neal Morse's views about modern Church.
I supposed that was preaching about his own beliefs, because the term is from Greek origin and for that reason not used in 1518.
More reasons to believe he's preaching.

I agree Ivan that showing love and compassion for people who have different beliefs than us is a powerful thing.And your example of John Paul II is a good one.

I like the lyrics of Sola Scriptura, and I agree with them, both historically and as a Christian. I'll leave it at that since this is not a thread to debate the pros and cons of Catholicism or Martin Luther. I am a fan of the Reformation, but do not support anti-Semitism.
I'm also a fan of artists saying whatever they like in their music and no one whining about it. Have I ever railed against the anti-Christian and anti-conservative lyrics that pervade most prog rock? Not once. Oh and EDIT: If artists want to preach, GOOD. I attend service twice a week that has preaching. It's good for me. If it's not for you, don't listen to it.

Also, Ivan, I do not worship Allah, the god of Islam. I've read the Koran, several teachings of Mohammed, and if you agree with your professor that Christians, Jews, and Muslims worship the same God, you are mistaken:
"The Day of Resurrection will not arrive until the Moslems make war against the Jews and kill them, and until a Jew hiding behind a rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: 'Oh Moslem, oh servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!'" (Sahih Bukhari 004.52.176) Muslims and Jews worship the same God? To use your word...please. Edited by Epignosis - May 29 2009 at 18:44 |

I'm wondering at this point...should this really be in the prog lounge? This has become more of a Protestant v. Catholic debate now instead of actually being about religious lyrics in prog. Let's move this to general discussions.

I Know I'm kind of late for the train on this topic but I like religion in my lyrics in some cases...
Lawdy lawdy lawdy Miss Clawdy!
God damn the pusher man!
Good God y'all!
Jesus was a heartbreaker.
Ring of fire...
Sabbath bloody sabbath...
"Abe said where you want this killin done? God said, do it out on highway 61."
Stuff like that.
If I wanted gospels and psalms from befuddled missionaries (and I dont), I would not listen to Prog or any form of Rock music. Edited by Valdez - May 29 2009 at 19:38 |

The relations between Jewishs and Moslems is another problem, but this doesn't mean Allah is not the God of Abraham.
Still you doubt that Allah the God of Abraham?
Remember that the Bible recognizes Ishmael as the father of the Arab race and Ishmael is Abraham's son:
So, don't you believe in the Holy Bible?
BTW: My teacher was not only a Priest, but a recognized theologist who spent years studying the holy texts of many religions plus a good and tolerant man of God, If I have to choose to believe in your interpretation and his....I go with his interpretation.
Despite this fact, the Quran and the Bible are clear Abraham worshiped Yahveh according to the Bible and Torah but also Allah according to the Quran.

It's a simple theological matter Ivan. If the god of Islam teaches something contrary to the God of Christianity, they cannot be the same god. It doesn't matter what "ties" Islam has to Ishmael. They are two different and mostly contrary religions.
After all, Christianity believes Christ is God. Muslims do not. It's fairly simple. |
