What's the name of the song?

In Meatloaf Aday's autobiographical movie, Meat sings a song in an audition for Jim Steinman about how Mary laid her baby Jesus to sleep and I was wondering if that was an actual song and if it is what's it called and if it can be downloaded from places like Limewire?

If Jesus was real, wouldn't Christmas come twice a year?

One for his actual birthday and one for the pagan holiday we currently celebrate.

They have stolen every pagan holiday. There's a free slot available at the summer solstice though. Maybe they should choose June 21st for his birth.

What did Jesus and his disciples do for entertainment?

I know there's nothing about it in the bible, but they had to have been bored sometimes. Did people tell jokes back then or sing and dance? Did they play games?

'For ****s sake, Judas, we're not doing charades again! How the hell were we supposed to know it was "The Iliad"? Jumping up and down in front of a wall, clutching your heel, then pretending to be a horse?"

"And as for you, Peter, that's the lamest attempt I've ever seen of an impression of Moses parting the Red Sea!"

question about dating christian girls?

I consider myself a christian, but a liberal one and I tolerate other faiths. I don't discriminate against people or preach to them or tell them how to live their lives. Do any christian girls consider themselves ok with this type of guy? I'm really nice and considerate of christian girls, but I do look at porn/masturbate since I'm not in a relationship nor can have sex. I'm also tolerant of gay people, play violent video games, curse, and watch adult swim. But, I still consider myself a good, moral person who believes in God and Jesus. Is this not enough for christian girls, or am I still "unevenly yoked"? do christian girls look down on you if you don't like to "witness" to people and don't read the bible/goto church all the time?
p.s. please do not talk down - I'm nice and I don't cheat on girls or lie or do any of that, so don't paint me like a terrible person. Also, no admonishment or whatever word you call it, because no one has the right to judge me without knowledge.

(i'm a girl christian) & i would have a hard time dating a guy who wasnt like you
i dont discriminate, and i dont go to church every single week
all those extremely conservative christians drive me crazy, and they probably wouldn't date you, just like how i wouldnt date them, but you also probably wouldn't have the best relationship dating someone who doesn't agree with a lot of your personal beliefs

you just need to find a cool christian girl without those crazy demeaning morals

Lyrics: I believe first line goes: What a precious name is Jesus. Reaching higher far, than the brightest star?

My mom and I use to attend church together when I was younger and she was still alive. One of her favorite songs I believe was called: "What A Precious Name Is Jesus". It started out: What a precious name is Jesus. Reaching higher far, than the brightest star. This is all I can remember of it. People have said maybe it was, What A friend We Have In Jesus, or other names but I don't believe it was any of them. I wish I still had mom's old gospel song book.

I'm sorry other people were rude to you when all you were trying to do was recollect a precious memory with your mother who has passed on.

I think the song you are looking for is "What a Lovely Name" - I have attached a link which has the lyrics as well as permits you to listen to the song performed by The Greesons.

Peace, Bill

What a lovely name the name of Jesus,
Reaching higher far, than the brightest star;
Sweeter than the songs they sing in Heaven,
Let the world proclaim what a lovely name.

Blessed be the Lord Jesus Christ. First I would like to ask you a question, do you love Jesus? Is He your best friend? Are you looking for Him ? As we all were before becoming saved and walking with Him. Do you feel alone in this terrible and often times cruel, unforgiving, understanding world? Have you lost loved ones, friends, family, or maybe yourself? Do you feel a hole or void in your life that is empty blackness without escape?

If you can answer yes to any of these questions , the answer is so simple and so true. Just turn your heart to Jesus. He loves you. He will be your best friend, your comforter, your all if you let Him. All you have to do is humble yourself, bend the knee and if unable to then bend the heart. You don't have to be in a church to ask Jesus into your heart, you can be saved anywhere at anytime!! Isn't that an awesome concept. If you know you are a sinner and wish for forgiveness, and to walk in life with Jesus in peace, joy and love , He is the door, the light, and the way. He can heal you in ways doctors never can. He can remove old hurts and strongholds in your life that no one else will ever be able to. No matter of hours put in at a psychologist office will ever do for you what accepting the Lord Jesus Christ into your heart will do. He can remove all sorts of bad habits or sinful things we all have to be ashamed of.

Are you angry because of your past? Did you live an unfair childhood? Are you living an unfair adulthood? Are you abused (past or present)? Believe me I know your pain, but Jesus can free you from it, from the anger , and the resentment. Are you angry with your spouse , are you living in an unhappy marriage? Do your children run amuck? Seemingly to never know when to mind and be still? Are you unhappy with your job, your house, your life, your weight, your everything?

These things plague you because you need to turn to Jesus. Let him fill you with the peace, joy and love only He is able to give. Let Him be your Savior, your reason for living , and your all.

No I am not some holy roller, up until July 22, 2007 I was knee deep in sin. I was 29 at that time, unsaved, and I had many many sins in my life. Some worse than others a few really big time sins against God. I was unhappy with everything, my life, my husband, my weight, my children. There were days I wished the world would open up and swallow me whole. On July 22, 2007 my daughter begged me to come to see her baptized, yes she had to beg because I did not want anything to do with a church house or it's people. But seeing those sweet hazel eyes of hers brimmed with tears was more that I could bare. So I agreed to go , I got dressed , dreading the whole thing believe me. We went and I heard the sermon, the preacher was speaking about Hell, and the pain for all eternity if we went there instead of Heaven. I do not think I have ever been so scared in all my life. My heart began to race , I began to sweat and tremor. I looked down and I was literally gripping the pew bench with white knuckles. At the end of the sermon the preacher said to everyone " we are going to have a few minutes of invitation". Now being the sinner I was I did not understand what that meant at that time. But everyone had there eyes closed and they were praying. I was thinking to myself if I can just last a few more minutes I will be out of here. But all of the sudden there was a tug on my chest, it truly felt like someone had grabbed the front of my shirt with both hands and was pulling me to the alter. It was frightening and joyful all at once. I knew without a doubt it was Jesus. I got to my feet somehow though as of now I do not really remember walking to the alter and falling on my knees to pray. That very minute I said to Jesus , please I know I am a sinner , but please take these sins away, please forgive me, please love me too. Please come into my heart and He did. Even though I know I am not worthy He loves me enough to save me.

Jesus loves you too. Please do not ever forget that He loves you too. And He only wants the very best for us here and in the afterlife. Do you want to call Heaven your home someday? I know I do and will. God Bless you always.

L'Innocence by William Bouguereau?

Ok, I'm completely lost here.
There seem to be TWO paintings by William Bouguereau called "L'Innocence" (aka "Youth")
Here is a link to one:

The painting of Mary with Lamb and Jesus - is famous. It appears far more than the second painting with angels. This work is in a private collection, but as you will have discovered there is no info. at all about the girl with angels painting except that the two works seem have been painted in the same year. It is quite possible that the two paintings were given the same name (not by the artist, who may not have named them), Have you tried consulting some books on the painter: e.g. The Studios of Paris: William Bouguereau and His American Students?. It is conceivable that the second and in my opinion more inferior work with the angels was produced in conjunction or by his studio staff.

I am afraid that this is the best that I can do.

Hurtful Christians?

Why do Christians wear crosses around their necks? You would think that if Jesus ever came back to Earth and saw that he'd be very insulted and say: “Hey, how about a little sensitivity? That's where I died in agony, and you're making jewelry out of it?”

your question was a real eye opener. i be live you are right Jesus would be very insulted,i just love the idea of a loaf of bread or a gold glass of wine around the neck.hanging.

I once read in Wikipedia that the earliest known occasion to make the phrase Christmas in July literal was in July 1933 at Camp Keystone, a girl's summer camp in North Carolina, which celebrated with a Christmas tree, Christmas wreaths, gifts, and a visit by Santa Claus. In 1935, the National Recreation Association's journal Recreation described what a Christmas in July was like at a girl's camp, writing that "all mystery and wonder surround this annual event.

In July 1942 the Washington Post reported that a sermon was delivered in a Washington DC church entitled "Christmas presents in July." The idea was for the congregation to place donations over decorated Christmas trees that would be used to purchase presents for distribution to missions worldwide. Doing this in July would give ample time for the presents to arrive in their destinations.

In July 1944 The New York Times reported the US Post Office, along with US Army and Navy officials, threw a Christmas in July luncheon to promote a Christmas card campaign for servicemen and women in World War II.

Christmas in July has deeper traditions in Australia than in the United States though the tradition started in the US. One of the bigger reasons is the difference in climate. According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology July is the coldest time of the year, - averaging 61° - while December and January are the warmest months, averaging almost 80°. July is the peak snow season in Australia. Most of the prominent ski resorts have special events and celebrations.

I recently came across an article on SantasWarehouse.com.au about a Christmas in July Charity Ball. As I read on I discovered their first event was in 2007. Funds are raised for Vision Australia, providing services, facilities, and information to the visually impaired. I have worn glasses since grade school, but what has been more impactful are two dear friends who are legally blind with matching (almost) seeing eye dogs, Astro and Max. My father-in-law, who suffers from macular degenerative disease, has been compromised as well with visual impairment. Oh to see the twinkling of Christmas tree lights! May we not take the little things for granted.

The second Christmas in July event in 2008 raised over $15,000 and benefited Hunter Life Education, empowering children and young people to make healthy choices. I had the privilege of working with Education Foundation in my community which helped students earn their first two years of college through service and grades. Having transformed high schools into themed events for the Education Foundation I found this event empowering!

However, some would say that Christmas in July is nothing more than one of corporate America's Christmas ideas and a marketing ploy. Many major retailers such as Target, Sears, and Kmart are advertising specials to get customers in their stores and or even putting up special "Christmas Lanes." And it's not just Christmas ornaments, holiday decorations, and Christmas tree lights on sale. Besides enticing people to buy Christmas presents early many stores are offering back-to-school items.

It seems to me that the reason for the season is the remembrance of Jesus Christ. I'm for anything that helps us remember our Savior, but I must admit that neither my clients or I have ever gotten in to the full swing of Christmas in July.

Why is the Historical Jesus doubted on the Internet but not within the academy of scholars/historians?

Is it similar to 9/11 Conspiracy Theorists and "Moon Landing Hoax" Conspirators (where the Internet is the best place to find followers?)

Perhaps the better question would be why would you take anything doubted or promoted on the internet seriously...

The Truth Behind Hip Hop G.Craige Lewis-Research?

Has anyone taken the time to research the claims on made on the video "The truth about Hip Hop?" I'd be interested in finding out how accurate the film is. Because there are so many claims I'd like to know what everyone else is discovering. I found an article pertaining to this subject that said "Underground DJ Danger Mouse mixed an a cappella version of Jay-Z's The Black Album with the Beatles' The White Album to make The Grey Album. If you play the track Interlude normally it makes no sense; however, when played backwards it includes the lyrics "666..., Murder, Murder, Jesus". The track was made to be played backwards, and DJ Danger Mouse simply samples Jay-Z's voice and edits it to make him say what he wants. The album is not made or endorsed by Jay-Z, yet Lewis does not make this clear." http://www.clarkyboy.com/hiphop.htm Please let me know what you've found. You can visit me at www.intunelive.com

Distirct Deaths Dec. 26, 2010
As Christians around the world pause today to celebrate God’s gift of Jesus to the world, a West Hills family will be celebrating another special gift.

Are people trying to find fault in the Bible as if it were a contract that can be voided?

The recent discovery of the stone boxes that are supposed have contained the bones of Jesus and his family are being treated like the nulifying flaw in a contract.

Yes, people don't want to think there is a Perfect God. who will hold them responsible for their actions. If you notice in the news lately, everybody blames everyone else for their behavior.

As for the stone boxes they have found, in Jesus' time, his name was a common one. So whatever they found does not mean it is The Christ.
