:o  If the Beatles are an example of musical taste I guess I am just clueless.  That music is so old it has whiskers!  But one of the networks DID just announce the launch of a Beatles' channel. 

It is old, and it is still being played and appreciated today, that says something about its quality.   I can assure you in 30 years nobody will be playing NSYNC or Britney Spears, to whom the Beatles have been compared to in this thread

Yes, with anthems like "i want to hold your hand" and profound lyrics such as "she loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah," I don't see how anyone managed to even stay fully conscious in the mere presence of their unmitigated awesomeness!

:24:

I'll have to agree that I've never seen much value in the Beatles music. I'm not a hater either. I just don't find their style all that interesting and so it gets ignored. Same with a few other kinds of music. :)

That was some of their first stuff that was released here in the US in '64.  I agree with your somewhat 'tongue in cheek' remarks that the lyrics or the music was not that profound.  You have to remember that at the time it was their appearance (long hair, edwardian suits) that was 'the thing' (even though very tame by later standards)

Personally, I think their best album was one that hasn't gotten as much notice historically - "Rubber Soul".  It came out in '65, I think. The song "In My Life" is one of my favorite Beatles songs.  It has a rift in it (a harpsichord, I think) that was very beautiful and unusual for a rock song at the time.  The song "Michelle" is very poetic.  There are several other songs on the album that - to me - represent their high water mark.

Later they got into Eastern mysticism and drugs, and while they had some good songs on later albums I'll agree much of it was probably over-rated.  And if someone could explain "Revolution Number 9" to me (from the White Album), I'd appreciate it.

Blessings,

I believe this is according to what state you live in. There is no federal law that i know of that deals with refusal of service based on lifestyle.

 

I am not aware of any either, but the judicial branch has shown that they consider this as discrimination, so I think over time we will see more cases like this taken to the courts.

What does any of that have to do with the fact that the Bill of Rights puts limits on the government to infringe upon rights that are ours by virtue of being human being?  None of that changes the fact you are wrong when you say the Bill of Rights gives us the right to free speech or any other right listed in them.  

 

It's called the Bill of Rights, how is not about rights?  :noidea:

Well neither Nsync nor Britney Spears has ever besmirched my CD player!  Not my kind of music.

Why do you keep asking the same inane question over and over?

It is about rights, it is about rights that are yous by virtue of being a human being.  They are not given to you by the Bill of Rights.   The Bill of Rights limits the power of the government to infringe upon those rights.  

I really think this has now moved past an actual discussion and you are just trying to see how many times you  can get me to answer the same question.   i am sure you are getting a nice little chuckle out of it

No, I'm truly baffled to be honest.  But we can agree to disagree. :)

God bless

I am not sure how much more clear I could make it.  I guess I could get out crayons and draw you picture but I doubt that would help either

Or you could read the 1st amendment and tell me if it states that those rights are granted to us by the government or if it says the government is not allowed to infringe upon them.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
