Welcome to a place where Christ should be exalted and "Self" should be abased!!

Welcome to a place where the BIBLE can be discussed rationally, intelligently, and positively without unnecessary argument!!

Welcome to a place where prayer can be requested and encouraged!!

Welcome to a place where positive and encouraging thoughts from scripture can be shared in a caring and loving way!!

Welcome to a place away from all the arguments, recriminations, and negativity of the outside world!!

Welcome to a place of rest and safety!!

Welcome to a place where Philippians 2:3 is practiced: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves."

Welcome to this Christian thread.



(Please leave all aggression, bitterness, and philosophy outside the door and please wipe your feet before coming inside!!)


  

I live in my own little world. But it's OK... They know me Here!


Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. Eph.6:11.
Eph.6:10-17.

Love 'Blue Christmas' - Also love Elvis singing gospel.

My fave Christmas hymn is 'O come all ye faithful'

My English grammar school taught us to sing the fist verse in Latin, and to this day I always do.

Adeste, fideles, laeti triumphantes;
Venite, venite ad Bethlehem.
Natum videte Regem angelorum.

Refrain

Venite adoremus, venite adoremus,
Venite adoremus, Dominum.

I remember the Adeste, fideles part and that's about it.

OK a tougher question for another prize. This prize is a handknit scarf, measuring 12" x 72" made of cashmerino by Loro Piana of Italy. It is a rosy pink. Done entirely in irish moss stitch . Do not answer immediately as I would like to give the folks out west a chance. I will accept the first answer posted after 11:30 p.m. Toronto time.

What rock and roll song took its title from one of two Greek sentences in the Anglican Book of Common Prayer?
Name the Artist(s) as well.
To be fair, as some of us are Anglican and others are not, Anglicans must tell me the 2 sentences in the BCP and where they are.

Merry Christmas, Susan

Oh, that's a good question - googling away ! I feel like a shameful Anglican, haven't really attended on a regular basis since I came to Canada, forgot everything I learned. LOL - I'm out west too, but luckily I'm at home today, looking out at the snowy streets - I hate snow ever since I did donuts on the Fraser Highway !

OOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHH!
I have e-mailed a few regulars to get some competition going.

Just to whet your appetite: Loro Piana is the finest mill in Italy, some say in the world. They have a store on Madison Avenue in NYC. The yarn is soft because I have washed the scarf once. With wear and further washing, the yarn gets softer and softer. Very hard come by for knitting purposes.

Ok - here goes:

Greek sentence: Kyrie Elieson
Rock n'roll song: Mr. Mister

The Kyrie: In peace let us pray to the Lord
Lord have mercy

As an aside the litany that I knew as a child was totally in latin:
Kyrie Eleison
Christe Eleison


Interesting search,

Marion

By the way, should I be lucky enough to be correct, I have had the time today to do the research, I would be more than happy to just accept one prize.

OK Here we go again. No right answers until 11:00 p.m. tonight. I moved the time up a little.

According to the gospels, which disciple of Christ is still alive? Where does common myth say he lives?
