Theocracy - Bethlehem

Band: Theocracy
Album: Mirror Of Souls
Track: Bethlehem

All my life, I've waited and watched
through the eyes of faith
To see the consolation of Israel
And even though the flame of my life
is now growing dim
I know I'll see the Savior of Israel
For the Spirit of the Lord has promised unto me
That I would not see death
before my eyes have seen Him
The promise is alive, for through this little child
God's holy light illuminates Jerusalem

This child will cause the falling
and rising of many souls
A sign for all the people of Israel
This child will be the way and the life unto every soul
To every generation shall the Gentiles tell
For the way has been prepared
in the sight of every man
The Son of God Himself is born in Bethlehem
A sacrifice is made in the temple on this day
Redemption reaches far beyond Jerusalem

O Bethlehem, your star burns bright tonight
For my eyes have seen the glory of salvation's holy light
Has this little child come to redeem us all?
To save us from the fall
Redemption is in sight
Behold, the Son shines bright
Under Bethlehem's star tonight

Solo

O Bethlehem, your star burns bright tonight
For my eyes have seen the glory of salvation's holy light
Has this little child come to redeem us all?
To save us from the fall
Redemption is in sight
Behold, the Son shines bright
Under Bethlehem's star tonight

When all the world was sleeping deep in darkness
A child in Bethlehem fulfilled the promise
The ancients prophesied a great deliverer
The one to break the curse of sin forever
He didn't come with any worldly fanfare
No royal treatment, just a dark cross to bear
In Bethlehem a brand new dawn is rising
A star to guide the way, forever shining
New hope was born for all creation that night
For though the darkness came the brightest light

I prefer this to "normal" christmas songs... just play thoecracy every christmas :D

[Christian Odenwald]

Yeah, I like Theocracy too, but Jesus is much more important :)

That we shouln't forget while hearing christian music.

[Monstexitus]

Haha, I came from Black Metal to this, at first I thought it was a sarcastic song/band name but they seem to be serious about this :D Damned. Really good music , not too much inito christian lyrics tho. I go back to my Satan, bye.

Continued: Well, really I believe in God because: There's no other reasonable explanation logically, scientifically or rationally. Nature suggests God exists. Math and science completely disproves naturalistic theories like the big bang and evolution. Logic disproves them. Then there's the "minor" problem of morality etc. So all this leads me to believe in God, but then there's the problem of who is He/what kind of God? Then there's the evidence for the Bible etc. That's why I believe in God.

[Songwriter4God]

Continued: Yet in the machines it's not making much of anything so it doesn't really prove anything. Although it definitely proves the fact that for such things to happen it requires intelligence. Plus again, it needed a catalyst to make it happen, whereas the big bang just supposedly happened and made all this which is an impossibility. It's so irrational to believe it yet somehow religious Dawkinists (See: Most troll atheists) call me the idiot. That's why I believe in God, it's impossible.

[Songwriter4God]

Continued: Your super-collider needs engineers to make it and scientists etc. to run it. If it happened on it's own couldn't you just leave it be and it'd happen? I'm sure you could somehow speed it up to take weeks instead of billions of years. Also the problem is, it just goes boom and makes some rocks and stuff from existing material. You claim the big bang was in empty space (and why?) then just for some reason went POW and over time we got this rather perfectly ordered universe. Cont...

[Songwriter4God]

And I believe it's 100% irrational to believe such. :P The thing is we don't just say "it's so complex! How could it be? GODDUNIT!" YOu'd like to think so but it's not the case. As I mentioned, mathematically the big bang is impossible. There's a far less than 0% chance of it happening. How is that reasonable? The problem is with all you people claiming because we can model it must be true but claiming it happened on it's own is: You prove intelligent design. Continuing...

More continuing! and thus any state with more energy in it is thus disordered. Entropy is the process of a system becoming disordered, and thus it is perfectly logical to assume that in any one of the many parallel universes (see many-worlds theory) ours developed the particular curiosities of our universe. Of course, as i've now used the word theory, I expect you to suggest that its a belief; which of course it is, its just more rational to me, then others! -Fin-

[Doomsls]

Continuing! and get reasonably accurate results. You can't model the effect of god mathematically, and thus I think that, seeing as it doesn't work by the laws of the universe, namely that energy cannot be created, it makes more sense to 'believe' in the big bang. I think thats pretty logical, personally. Second point! That the universe is too ordered to exist as it is by chance: the most ordered state possible in the universe is nothing, nada, zilch (cont next comment)

[Doomsls]

Thanks for replying! To your first point, that about the origins of the universe: medieval depictions of the cosmos show the planets, such as it was, then the stars, and then ... god, as they didn't know what there was out there. My issue isn't whether the universe occurred via the big bang, or divine creation, or whatever, its the attitude of we don't know, lets put a deus ex machina to solve it. One can model the big bang with reasonable accuracy (cont next comment)

[Songwriter4God]

Continued: So, the probability of the universe to 100% RANDOMLY assemble itself in what we see now which is EXTREMELY orderly (not perfect, but very, very much in order) is actually deemed impossible because the numbers are just too small. There's a lot of zeroes after that decimal point. You wouldn't believe it could happen with such number for anything else, and thusly believing the universe could do that is hypocritical and irrational. You believe something LITERALLY impossible. I'm done now.
