================================================ Subject: True Disciple Hey nightstorm From: "Paul Porter" To: Date: Sun 20 Jan 2002 15:58:47 EST ================================================ In a message dated 01/19/02 Nightstorm replied to my personal viewpoint. This is great IMO Here's my reply to you. Hey Scot, or Joe I want to first say thank you for helping me with the protocol in this E-mail machine. The last thing I want to do is make someone mad. I would like to introduce myself to all of you regulars, because I think I'm open minded enough to become a regular. To get to the point I'll just use "BULLETS." I think I have a great sense of humor. I'm 36 years old. Two well adjusted teens We're all three big fans of Creed, the wife is not I am happily married I am a Christian I am a deacon in a Baptist Church. Imagine that! I am active with the youth. You see I have vested interest. IMO This love that I give to my children is because I believe it will lead them to peace. This love that I give to you because it can lead you as well. Everyone I know gets the chance to tell me NO. I believe and I have convictions. I can't apologize for that. These are my convictions I can't force my views on anyone. Scot, to answer your questions and comments. Creed lyrics do speak to me spiritually because they remind me of the truth in God's Word. My faith is strong! My faith would be strong without Creeds music. I would like to read those articles that speak to the band members disbelief. You have my e-mail. Help me understand. I am the Disciple. My interpretation of the word is disciplined pupil. But the true definition is a follower. Not of Creed. I just like their music. As for my thoughts on other lyrics. I plan to launch a web page soon. Right now I'm just practicing. I'll get back to you on Faceless Man and My Own Prison. You let me know your take on America and Higher. IMO these lyrics could sound right wing if I were a critic of Creed. I know I'm the underdog. Haven't you read your history books?! IMO this doesn't change the truth. By the way I do have a song for you later. Please understand Scot, these are my personal views. I do not seek to convert anyone to anything, other than to follow their own heart. However someone should inform the official Creed web master to change the header on some of their pages that says and I quote, "Seek and you shall find." IMO this is directly from the Holy Bible. Thanks for the warning. I do welcome any official censorship. Paul Check these lyrics. Told you I had a song for you. LOL. Some believe in little men they say are green Who fly around while people sleep Trying to keep out of sight They will say that aliens exist today This phenomenon won't go away Just look up at the sky The truth is out there Its up to you and me to find out for ourselves Despite human opinion and our own earthly reason One thing remains certain The truth is out there Some believe in a man they call the King. The Son of God Who died on a tree And then came back to life They say evidence gives this Jesus credence Which ordains their obedience And proves that they are right I've never seen a flying saucer on the earth or in the air But I have heard the voice of Jesus whispering in my ear The truth is out there To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
