why do people argue and bash something christian? if you dont like it, why listen to it

[Op139]

@MahoRoulete "if you dont like it, why listen to it" This is the internet. You must be new here.

Jesus said: "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Gospel of Matthew chapter 11 verses 28 to 30.

(Thank you, Handel.)

@ChristFavorsME I know we all have a right to our opinions, but please delete this or make an apology! I don't see how, if you are a Christian can say such things....Christ dies for ALL!! He loves ALL......he doesn't favor only you, not only the white race.....but everyone including you! this song should remind you of his power not the power of humanity, for we have no power without him! PLEASE APOLOGIZE TO THOSE WHOM YOU HAVE MOST LIKELY OFFENDED GREATLY!

I have sung Messiah in choirs many times and am an atheist! I appreciate it for the mastery of the writing, and is something I never tire of. This applies to many other liturgical works which have an enduring quality regardless of ones beliefs or otherwise.

Why doesn't this have more views? More people would rather listen to crap like Katy Perry than this? :(

[rubblez]

Why are people bashing this for the Christian theme? Just appreciate what a choral/orchestral masterpiece it is. Handel was absolutely astounding. 

[SakuraMochiKitty]

I sang this in choir last year! <3 The leap from a low note to a high Bb was challenging, though, but we managed to master it!

@thelamb777 Too bad there's no such thing as a flawless reader.

[bsartist]

@thelamb777 Your post is unhinged enough to make me wonder if you're trolling. Anyway, I've never understood how a 17th century English translation is the be-all end-all of Greek and Hebrew 1st century (and earlier) collections of texts. England really has nothing to do with any events in the bible. Some people rave about the KJV but can never quite articulate what EXACTLY justifies it as the ONLY correct one. Funny how the only perfect Bible just happens to be in the language you speak.

[thelamb777]

@wabbbb Absolutely...That's why we have missionaries who translate UTILIZING the King James BIBLE into a plethora of different languages...But the only acceptable ENGLISH translation my friend is the King James historically...All others are fabricated by the Roman Catholic church, a murderous savage institution...Noooo see, God's word is PRESERVED PERFECTLY in the King James! We don't need to go to the originals because the Lord knew the English people needed a FLAWLESS Bible...
