Are those angels? <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> Very beautiful!! Thanks TS for all your patience with us throughout this year. Have a lovely Christmas with your love ones! God bless you!
"Now may the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." -Romans 15:13
I'll ditto Souza, and say thank you TS. I think you have handled yourself well in the face of criticism and accusations and I respect you for it. I'm also glad you didn't do what most would do and walk. I'm glad you chose to stay and continue the redirects. It's been a fun adventure and I was sorry when I thought it might be over. Thank you for all your work on TIAI and for sticking with it and sticking with us.
Merry Christmas to all of you guys, I'm glad to share another year with you, my hoax family. Thank you for being a smart, diverse group capable of holding an intelligent conversation. Thanks to my hero who came in to save the day again. Thanks also to Souza for her devotion to this hoax and our information. Thanks to Mr. Jackson for making this all possible.
I am feeling nostalgic so I brought back my mjhd signature.
Thankyou TS and this was such a refreshing reminder as to why we celebrate Christmas...Jesus was born today, and today is his birthday. Bring back the Christ in christmas.
Hope you and your family have a very peaceful and joyful holiday. I look forward to hearing from you in the future. God Bless and with L.O.V.E
Thanks for this video TS - such a beautiful song, one of my all time favourites. Merry Christmas to everyone and may the spirit of love and harmony remain with us throughout the New Year <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
Thank You TS
Merry Christmas to you and your family and to Michael and his. <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D --> <!-- s:D -->:D<!-- s:D -->
In what seems to be in line with our discussion the last few days and reflecting on the 'Holy Night', I thought the Pope's Christmas Eve Homily was especially poignant. Here are some excerpts:
Dear Brothers and Sisters! "You are my son, this day I have begotten you" with this passage from Psalm 2 the Church begins the liturgy of this holy night. She knows that this passage originally formed part of the coronation rite of the kings of Israel...
...This child builds his kingdom in every generation from within, from the heart. But at the same time it is true that the "rod of his oppressor" is not yet broken, the boots of warriors continue to tramp and the "garment rolled in blood" (Is 9:4f) still remains. So part of this night is simply joy at God's closeness.
We are grateful that God gives himself into our hands as a child, begging as it were for our love, implanting his peace in our hearts. But this joy is also a prayer: Lord, make your promise come fully true. Break the rods of the oppressors. Burn the tramping boots.
Let the time of the garments rolled in blood come to an end. Fulfill the prophecy that "of peace there will be no end" (Is 9:7). We thank you for your goodness, but we also ask you to show forth your power. Establish the dominion of your truth and your love in the world the "kingdom of righteousness, love and peace."
...We cannot divide up into independent entities the interplay of grace and freedom, or the interplay of call and response. The two are inseparably woven together. So this part of the angels' message is both promise and call at the same time. God has anticipated us with the gift of his Son...
...Again and again he begins afresh with us. But he is still waiting for us to join him in love. He loves us, so that we too may become people who love, so that there may be peace on earth. Saint Luke does not say that the angels sang. He states quite soberly: the heavenly host praised God and said: "Glory to God in the highest" (Lk 2:13f.).
...But men have always known that the speech of angels is different from human speech, and that above all on this night of joyful proclamation it was in song that they extolled God's heavenly glory. So this angelic song has been recognized from the earliest days as music proceeding from God, indeed, as an invitation to join in the singing with hearts filled with joy at the fact that we are loved by God. Cantare amantis est, says Saint Augustine: singing belongs to one who loves.
Thus, down the centuries, the angels' song has again and again become a song of love and joy, a song of those who love...
Sorry,
I just want to be a spoilsport,
but there is actually someone in the world, who would have understood the Bible less than the institutional church?
They should take a look in the mirror ....
