I think much of my discomfort on this occasion was the repetitiveness of it ... yes, lots to think about!! sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02781555126562933766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550272538111630526.post-43860007295096703402013-07-12T15:25:25.777+09:302013-07-12T15:25:25.777+09:30Interesting.

There are 21 references in the Sacred Story part of New Testament to victors crown, including Jesus being acclaimed King of Jews with a crown of thorns. Now that's a pretty subversive, non-violent way to overcome the "world" in the form of religious powers that forced death,<br /><br />If the story is sacred then what do we do with the bits that are there even if we personally don't like? You've got me thinking, again, thanks Sarah<br /><br />Steve Taylor<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3550272538111630526.post-14661995974218100592013-06-24T15:48:30.951+09:302013-06-24T15:48:30.951+09:30I too was unable to sing this song or sing only a ...I too was unable to sing this song or sing only a few words like 'hope' and 'Jesus' which made the song very disjointed!
