Truth levels mountains and fill in valleys in my soul, making straight paths for the Spirit of life. Biblically-inspired literature, music and art are healthy spiritual fare for me, AG. Unhealthy spiritual fare for me includes all media content which promotes things contrary to the nature of God.

That must be quite a feeling CC, make sure you give us a taste of your voice. My mum died a couple of years ago.

See above.

Jesus, LL.



Spiritual manna. Like : )

It's darned good for the grey matter, singing Baroque counterpoint like that ... a heck of a lot better than posting on here, I might add. Singing that sort of music in a big choir like that is positively transcendental.

Very nice in the background , I of course cannot play a pot nor carry a tune in a bucket but I try in the shower in the woods in the cab of the truck. I'm just a mechanic.I have little appreciation of finer things. I can hear though.


Is beer serverd at these events?

That sounds like nice fluffy rhetoric.
Truth is relative to the observer. It is a perception and may not be a reality or fact. EG: it is a truth to some that the Bible is the word of their god. To others it is not a truth. Is it fact? The Bible says it is fact. But there is very little outside the Bible to substantiate it as fact. If it actually was verified as fact, there would be no need for faith.

It' a real harpsicord. Only authentic period instruments are used by our group. One of my friends (who is a professional musician) has a harpsichord in her living room. They are tricky to move around, though as they had to be re-tuned after each move.

No, but we all buggeroff to a nearby pub after a performance.

"Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain." (Isaiah 40:4; Luke 3:5 NIV)

Outstanding. Handel's Messiah ranks among my musical favorites because of the majestic message and the magnificent music. The wealth of spiritually-uplifting art, music and literature available to us makes me wonder why anyone would be attracted to the soul-darkening fare at the "king's table".

About the same meaning is in the Quran 20: 105-107
{ 105. They ask you [Mohammed] about the mountains [of Mecca, on that day.] Say [to them]: "My Lord, will smash them [into scattered dust.]"

106. So He will leave it as a level plain [in which there will be no hill a or valley b.]

107. Wherein you will see neither any elevation nor any depression. c}
........................................................
a Or mountain.
b Or hole.
c That is because the earth will stop its axial rotation, when the heat in its core will finish, so that in one side of it there will be a perpetual day which will not be succeeded by night; and in the other side there will be a perpetual night which will not be followed by day.

Therefore, the heat will increase in the day side, and such heat will be sufficient to burn and crumble rocks; because most of mountains are formed from calcium carbonate; so when it is heated the carbon dioxide gas will go away, and the calcium oxide (lime) will remain, which is a white powder with some yellowness.

Second: The heat in the core of the earth is the reason for the gravity; therefore, when it will finish and the earth core will become cold, then the gravity of the earth will end, and in such case the parts of the mountains will be dismantled, and the mountains will be exposed to the factors of the denudation and erosion, so that the wind will scatter them to seas and depressions, and by that the earth will become plain land with neither any elevation nor any depression.

In my book The Universe and the Quran it has been explained that mountains will be dispersed.
The Universe and the Quran 4

The interpretation is by Mohammed-Ali Hassan Al-Hilly, the interpreter of the Quran and the Bible.

Golf courses are described in the Bible's rhetoric? Who would have thought.

"Music is the soul of the universe" - Lao Tzu (6th century BC)
Early hominids created music long before the Bible was written.

I like Celtic music too, LL. Robin Mark is a personal favorite. Why listen to violent and obscene lyrics which darken the spirit?
We are humans. We do not all like the same thing. Besides, listening is one thing, but paying them heed is another.

In a personal, spiritual sense, SS, transformative landscaping takes place in the souls of genuine Christians. In relationship with Christ, mountains of personal superiority are reduced and valleys of personal inferiority are elevated to produce level ground (humility) in the souls of believers.
