JFJ Forums - There is so many ways tocome at thi from different angles

I tried to find a place that discussed culture around here. I thought I saw it the other day. Anyway I will post it here because it relates to why I believe in Jesus (which I have already answered several ways.)

One reason is so many deny Him. Why even go out of your way to deny something you don't believe exists? It is puzzling. Jesus deffinitely matters one way or another to everyone.

I really wanted to post something that I find awesome and that is the existance of God and mentioning of God in secular songs. These are the words to a song by Citizen Cope, which I would like to share, that seems to me He is speaking about God. I don't know much about the religious beliefs of this artist but here are the words to "107". Tell me what you think he is communicating:

"107 Degrees"

Wanted by the minister
Wanted by the dean
Wanted by the old folks
Wanted by the teens
Wanted by the dealers
Wanted by the fiends
Wanted by the girls in them tight, tight jeans
And wanted by the lawyers
Wanted by the ballers
Wanted by the governor who watches people suffer
Wanted by the princess
Wanted by the kings
Wanted by that driver of their limousine

Your love, your love is 7 feet deep
It's 107 degrees
And I'm walking cause my life ain't free
Cause it's 107 degrees
And your pain is, is killing me
Cause it's 107 degrees
And I'm walking cause my life ain't free
Cause it's 107 degrees

Wanted by the judges
Wanted by the lawyers
Wanted by the dons
Wanted by the cons
Wanted by the mission
Wanted for the cause
Wanted by the people who have to pay the cost
Wanted by the lawyer
Wanted by his daughters
Wanted by the victim who's waiting on an offer
And you're wanted by the princess
And you're wanted by the kings
And you're wanted by that driver of their limousine

Cause your love, your love is 7 feet deep
It's 107 degrees
And I'm walking cause my life ain't free
Cause it's 107 degrees
And your pain is, is killing me
Cause it's 107 degrees
And I'm walking cause my life ain't free
Cause it's 107 degrees

Here is another song off of the "Every Waking Moment" CD. Here again he could be singing about Jesus:

"Every Waking Moment"

I watched the country move slow
I watched a city for a dollar get sold
I watched a bella take off her clothes
I watched the miles from the car window

Every waking moment i'm alive
I'm searching for you
Whether i know it or not
Or whather i realize
Every waking moment i'm alive
I'm searching for you
Whether i know it
Or whether i realize
Every waking moment i'm alive

I've been to Paris
I've been to Rome
Never been to Laos
But i'll lie and say i've gone
I've been touched by a woman that i lust
I've been real high
I've been real low

Every waking moment i'm alive
I'm searching for you
Or whether i realize
Every waking moment i'm alive
I'm searching for you
Whether i know it
Or whether i realize
Every waking moment i'm alive
Every waking moment i'm alive..

If anyone has any ideas about Citizen cope religious affiliations please post. Thanks.

BTW this drum beat heard on "107" degrees is very dirty. Translated it is a hard beat to get down pat. Very slow, timing is right on the money.

I just wanted to quote this words of yours alone. Superb writting. Makes perfect sense. Why bother denying something you don't even believe (makes no sense at all!)
This, brothers & sisters, it's a true example The Lord talks/ writes through us. This comes due to Trinity that us Christians believe is that closest you can get to The Lord.
