Sadly it is one of those songs that has somehow stood the test of time carrying this error all along.<br /><br />It is not a trivial topic because as you point out leopard and leper mean different things in the Bible. And if the composer wants to use biblical illustrations, they should be faithful to how the Bible presents them. But as users of music, when we sing, we should be faithful to what the composer has written. (It's not fair to the composer to change their words). In this instance it leaves me with little choice but to not choose to sing this song... although I'll join in if someone else chooses the song- i won't die on this hill!<br /><br />Another one to look at is the "son of righteousness" which is sometimes used in Hark the Herald instead of the "sun of righteousness"MTnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235649.post-24970961338613000532022-11-12T13:44:28.988-05:002022-11-12T13:44:28.988-05:00Loveely blog you have hereLoveely blog you have hereScreen Doors Duluthhttps://www.screen-windows-doors.com/us/minnesota-window-screen/screen-doors-duluth.shtmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235649.post-31963003157621504202022-10-09T08:18:22.598-04:002022-10-09T08:18:22.598-04:00Thank you.

I have cringed when singing it because it doesn’t actually make sense and seems disrespectful to refer to someone’s skin disease as “spots”. I’ve even sung it “leopard” at times.

Surely your students knew that everyone used to dress up for church. By why do certain groups continue it? In addition to the group you mentioned, I'll throw in a denonjnation: Church of Christ. Regardless of race they continue a tradition of dressing up for church. But why? Why when everyone else has moved on to shorts and T-shirts?jorgen bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235649.post-45097334444761629312021-04-27T19:14:52.596-04:002021-04-27T19:14:52.596-04:00Wow, what a Satanic agenda you have.

KJV readers eill be more educated on Christian history and able to appreciate the traditional Christian hymns. Modern version readers may not be able to appreciate the word Calvary NOR Golgotha, since in some BOTH are erased! Thanks for bringing up a great proof of the superiority of the KJV.

Even after Emperors and other academic egg heads imposed the person idea the people clearly didn't buy it which is why binitarianism continued. The people saw the Spirit as like a force of God's presence not a person. Only modern dummb laymen buy into the HS person theory; the ancients were smarter and ignored what the academic theoloretards said on this point.jorgen bnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235649.post-48555666925791120642020-03-17T10:01:40.772-04:002020-03-17T10:01:40.772-04:00Bravo, PlaidRadish.

To laugh or to cry.<br /> Is it "trendy" to get back to the foundations of worship? It's not like tie dyed t-shirts or button fly jeans or should I say skinny jeans.🤭<br /> Lets take the time to disciple our people, young and old, rather than moralize them or desensitize them to the importance of repentance of sin and submission to Christ as Lord. Christianity is not about how good I am, it's about who and how great Christ is and what He has made available to all who believe.<br />This is why we gather corporately. Not as an audience but to praise and worship the Lord, our audience of one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07005635735200260622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235649.post-85065045815999267302020-03-17T09:46:59.925-04:002020-03-17T09:46:59.925-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Tonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03087265274573665484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235649.post-64491015219920866932020-03-17T09:46:57.930-04:002020-03-17T09:46:57.930-04:00I’m 62 year old former Catholic stuck in my ways. ...I’m 62 year old former Catholic stuck in my ways. IME Traditional means rules. Traditional sticks God in a box. <br /><br />Liturgy in a service is all well and good. You can keep your “traditional” style of worship. It has its place like McDonald’s versus Burger King. I’ve sought contemporary since the 70s and will continue to do so even if I had to start my own church. I’ve heard all kinds of “wonderful*” things about traditional from all kinds of well-meaning people - some were misconceptions; a few cleverly disguised lies.<br /><br />Contemporary returned me to God, His people, and the desire to serve Christ’s Body of believers. <br /><br />Sorry to those offended by my rant.

I... I have always use the word leopard in that song! I know it's because I saw that verse in Jeremiah many years ago when I was a kid. I didn't not know that it was written with word leper. Well, I guess it's not as bad as when my new Christian dad was standing next to me at Moody church and singing, "Jesus never saves!" Instead of Jesus never fails! :-)Sharon Heldmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01354157668168575991noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23235649.post-50158427599878235752018-09-12T07:16:37.926-04:002018-09-12T07:16:37.926-04:00Hi Tom,

That led me to your blog.<br />I had a previous blog, Dinner Church Movement, which I have just turned over to a core of leaders of dinner churches. That takes care of the 'meals' biblical research that I have been doing. Not it frees me to start this blog on the other aspect of recent scholarship of the first two centuries of the 'Jesus Movement'.<br />It is interesting to find a kindred spirit. How did you get to where you advocate subversive Church? I would be interested in knowing.<br />Bud Tillinghast rev.bud@mac.com<br />Rev.

As an adult I have had to get past some skewed beliefs that came from my interpretation of things that were said in church and Sunday school. While reading this, I had another "ah-ha" moment. It wasn't just preachers and teachers who misled me. Confusion and erroneous beliefs also came from incorrect lyrics. It seems I would have done better if my teachers had "nit-picked" more.<br /><br />Personally, if I ever get lice, I want every single solitary nit picked out of there!

You are probably aware of certain items on Google dealing with the pretrib view such as "Famous Rapture Watchers," "Pretrib Rapture Diehards," "Pretrib Rapture Pride," "Pretrib Rapture Stealth," "Prof. Wm. L. Craig Leaves Tim LaHaye Behind," "Pretrib Rapture Dishonesty," and a You Tube video "Left Behind or Led Astray?" The best work I've found on the earliest beginnings of the pretrib view is journalist Dave MacPherson's 300-page nonfiction book entitled "The Rapture Plot" - available by calling 800.643.4645.
