Misheard song lyrics

by jhine in

i thought that as there seems to have been some very serious sh-stuff being discussed lately maybe a light hearted thread might be in order .

i was thinking about misheard song lyrics ( climb every woman ) and it seemed a good topic for a thread .to start off for many years l thought that fat boy slim was singing about some very posh shoes with funk soul rubber on the bottom .

has anyone else realised that they have been singing the wrong words ?

Christmas star of Bethlehem to appear for 1st. Time in 800 years

by nowwhat? in

as spock would say " fascinating".. with 2020 being such a terrible year.

are people of the christian faith going to look at this as a sign of god, to give them hope and renew their faith?

coincidence?

jhine

No , l ( a lifelong Anglican ) for one am not looking at this as a sign or to renew my faith .

Yes the JWs are correct that Dec 25th isn't Jesus actual birthday and there is no mention of how many wise men there were and they probably didn't arrive until at least 2 years after the event . Some Anglican churches don't put the wise men into the nativity scene until after Christmas .

What the Watchtower doesn't mention is the significance of the gifts , Gold for kingship Frankincense for deity . Myrrh for death .

A few ideas have been floated as to the star including the suggestion that it may have been a comet . People who know much more about astronomy than l do have produced what l believe are some credible theories about this .

vs. bible:.

The word Jehovah does not appear in the original Greek New Testament , it is mostly the word" Lord ". Jehovah was added to the JW bible by them to back up their teaching that Jesus is an angel by separating Jesus and God . So Carla's point is very valid . The real translation is " everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved " as she says. That is ONE of the reasons for Trinitarians belief in the teaching that Jesus is God made man . The NT constantly refers to both Jesus and God as Lord .
