Here is the ' Runyankore- Rukiga Version' Runyankore- Rukiga is spoken in South-Western Uganda, East Africa. In the 1940's , there were massive Christian preaching in which people gave there lives to Christ. 1 MUKAMA nangir' ati, Oin' amaani makye; Hat' ij' onyehongyere Toribaasa kukyena. Yes' akaihura Amabanja gangye, Yansaasirira kimwe, Naayera tititi. 2 Niwe wenk' oin' amaani Kworobeza kimwe Omutima gw'eibaare, N'okukiz' omubembe.

What?? Roman Catholics don't like hymns???

Jesus will. Meet you there!! Amen. Beautiful!

Hi just stumbled across your channel, I'm a born again Christian, I was heavily involved in the ABOD, Orange Order and loyalist flute bands in Scotland for about 15 years. I've noticed a lot of "protestants" in the lodges, bands and supporters are not even Christian and have no interest in hearing about Jesus and his redeeming blood, but would rather shout f the pope and have a hatred for roman catholics for reasons they can't even explain. It's sad.

“I am the way and the truth and the life,” Jesus answers. Only by accepting him and his teachings and imitating his life course can one enter the heavenly house of his Father. Jesus says: “No one comes to the Father except through me.”​-John 14:6. www.jw.org/en/library/books/jesus/final-ministry/way-truth-life/ biblereasons.com/spiritual-blindness/ christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/7156/what-is-the-meaning-of-gods-omni-powers

Some great tunes played there ........

Many a person ends up a shipwreck, with only a few sailing off into the sunset, over the horizon.

Fantastic band

Luke 2-14 ESV: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased!” Matthew 6-22 ESV: “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, Proverbs 20-12 ESV: The hearing ear and the seeing eye, the Lord has made them both.

Isaiah 35-5 ESV: Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf unstopped; Psalm 146-8 ESV: The Lord opens the eyes of the blind.

Isaiah 29-18 ESV: In that day the deaf shall hear the words of a book, and out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind shall see. John 9-39 ESV: Jesus said, “For judgment I came into this world, that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.” Luke 24-45 ESV: Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures, 1 Corinthians 4-5 ESV: Therefore do not pronounce judgment before the time, before the Lord comes, who will bring to light the things now hidden in darkness and will disclose the purposes of the heart. Then each one will receive his commendation from God. 1 Corinthians 2-9 ESV: But, as it is written, “What no eye has seen, nor ear heard, nor the heart of man imagined, what God has prepared for those who love him”- Romans 10,9-13 ESV: Because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.” For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, bestowing his riches on all who call on him. For “everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.” Luke 4-18 ESV: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, Matthew 7-3 ESV: Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?

For the Lord sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks on the heart.” Matthew 13-15 ESV: For this people's heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’

Matthew 5 [13] “You are the salt of the earth, but if salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? It is no longer good for anything except to be thrown out and trampled under people’s feet. [14] “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. [15] Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. [16] In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

James 5 [7] Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains. [8] You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near. [9] Don’t grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door! [10] Brothers and sisters, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. [11] As you know, we count as blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job’s perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

Keep The Banner Flying High - Graham Kendrick kzbin.info/www/bejne/pIHGmKiMh6t9nck

Graham Kendrick - Keep the Banner Flying High kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3PbZoGBZ7Gfgsk Seems appropriate. However I don't believe that Jesus is the main vision of the Orange Order at the moment.

Up to 667. Respite for the time being

At least someone is more optimistic about this situation. However strangely I did have some trouble saving and publishing this video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioiqd6CDgt6iobM

At least it's not just me. Apparently this may only be the tip of the iceberg. focalpointministries.org/product/bad-theology-part-3/

What did Jesus pay for? All of our mistakes...we just have to swallow our pride and admit we're not always (hardly ever) right. www.leadlikejesus.com/blog/when-being-right-wrong “There is no one righteous, not even one; there is no one who understands;there is no one who seeks God. All have turned away, they have together become worthless; there is no one who does good, not even one.” Romans 3, 10-12

Apparently these are (currently )viewed as 'sins' (More or less just non biblical add ons and evidence of Legalism): Did I fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday? Did I eat meat on the Fridays of Lent or Ash Wednesday? Did I fail to receive Holy Communion during Eastertime? Did I go to Holy Communion in a state of mortal sin? Without fasting (water and medicine permitted) for one hour from food and drink? Did I make a bad confession? Did I fail to contribute to the support of the Church? www.parishofdungannon.com/Examination-of-Conscience.html

Apparently a truce was called in 1999. But in practice nothing seems to have really changed. www.vatican.va/roman_curia/pontifical_councils/chrstuni/documents/rc_pc_chrstuni_doc_31101999_cath-luth-joint-declaration_en.html 'These people come near to me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is based on merely human rules they have been taught.' Isaiah 29:13 'They worship me in vain; their teachings are merely human rules' Matthew 15:9

The case for the defence (some of it is vaguely accurate, that is apart from the liberties taken as opposed to scripture): www.vatican.va/archive/ccc_css/archive/catechism/p2s2c2a4.htm

Background Lyrics: For nothing good have I whereby Thy grace to claim- I’ll wash my garments white in the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb. Jesus paid it all, all to Him I owe; Sin had left a crimson stain, he washed it white as snow. And the blood shall never lose its pow’r, no, never, no, never, Jesus’ blood avails for sin forever, And shall never lose its pow’r.

Should Old Acquaintance be forgot, and never thought upon; The flames of Love extinguished, and fully past and gone: Is thy sweet Heart now grown so cold, that loving Breast of thine; That thou canst never once reflect On old long syne. James Watson (1711)

'Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.' Matthew 7: 13-14 In light of these verses, it's quite ironic, that this particular part of the procession route is where the people who could be described as being 'Cultural Protestants' congregate. Out to have a good day, watch the parade and have a drink or several. They would probably describe themselves as Unionists and Loyalists and are technically Protestants (It may be worrying to know what proportion of them made it to church the following day, or any Sunday for that matter). But they have little interest in the Religious aspect of the event. Also partly evidenced by a number of Gospel Tracts lying on the Ground (I dare say most people would not discard a winning lottery ticket. However with a Lottery Win there isn't always a happy ending, as the prize may end up ruining their lives. And although most 'Christians' don't act like they've won big. For some it may be a case of acting like a 'Plaster Saint'. Rather than spreading the wealth amongst their friends and family. It could also be because they have to wait to pick up their prize. Most people wouldn't turn down spending the remainder of their lifetime on a paradise island. But on the other hand most people seem happy to enjoy sinful pleasures and reject an eternity of heavenly bliss). It appeared as if most of the 'Young' people present knew the words of 'The Sash'. However there didn't seem to be the same level of vocal support for the Hymn which interestingly contains the line: 'That He should give His only Son, To make a wretch His treasure.' It would be of great benefit to them if they become aware of this fact, that is if they don't happen to know it already. It's a worrying time when a child goes missing. However a lot of 'Young' people seem to have went missing in a religious sense. Many of whom may never be safely returned to a loving 'Parent'. Interesting introduction to the speech I'm not sure if it was inspired by Shakesphere “Friends, Romans, countrymen...lend me your ears”. However it does include the relevant line: 'The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones' I'm also not sure if Rev. Anderson is familiar with the story of Truth and Lies (Relating to 'Truth coming out of her well to shame mankind'.) 'Well' maybe he is or 'Well' maybe he isn't

The motto 'Quis Separabit' (Who can separate?) is derived from the Latin translation of the Bible Verse from Romans 8:35. Quis nos separabit a caritate Christi? / Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?. It has been notably used as the motto for many British Army Units including The Royal Irish / Ulster Rifles. The Full Biblical context is: [vs 28-34] And we know that God works all things together for the good of those who love Him, who are called according to His purpose. For those God foreknew, He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers. And those He predestined, He also called; those He called, He also justified; those He justified, He also glorified. What then shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, how will He not also, along with Him, freely give us all things? Who will bring any charge against God’s elect? It is God who justifies. Who is there to condemn us? For Christ Jesus, who died, and more than that was raised to life, is at the right hand of God-and He is interceding for us. [vs 35-39] Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? As it is written: “For Your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor principalities, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

If there is a god who cares what human beings believe, He has made it so that everything that has an explanation is explained through the natural processes of His creation and He’s made it so easy for human beings to invent false gods to worship without even a speck of direct evidence. It’s pretty obvious that if God exists then God doesn’t want to be found. I’m sure that such a sophisticated being would appreciate those who get it by recognizing that His creation absolutely does not point to His existence. In fact he’d probably be pretty pissed at people for not recognizing this and SUPER pissed at people claiming to know Him or what He’s all about. I’m an atheist because I fear the wrath of God.

So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh (Sinful Nature). For the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are in conflict with each other, so that you are not to do whatever you want. But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery (e.g. Free Love / Adultery / Pornography / self gratification / lustful pleasures / immoral and shameful ways thought and deeds etc.); idolatry (i.e. placing something else before God / forgetting or ignoring God / pursuing happiness in paltry, idol pleasures / self indulgence / greed) and witchcraft; hatred, discord (conflict, friction, hostility etc.), jealousy, fits of rage (anger), selfish ambition (selfishness / self-seeking / pride / arrogance / self-importance / egotistical etc.), dissensions (arguing, falling-out, conflict), factions (rivalry) and envy (covetousness, desire); drunkenness, orgies (i.e. wild parties / revelry / the drinking culture), and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is (selfless) love, joy (happiness), peace, forbearance (patience), kindness, goodness (charity / compassion etc.), faithfulness, gentleness (humble) and self-control (self denial / restraint). Against such things there is no law. Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires (pleasures). Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. Let us not become conceited (complacent / self righteous / hypocritical / sanctimonious), provoking and envying each other. Galatians 5, 16-26 (Expanded)

Apparently life can come from Non life (which came from nothing), but it's unable to be created by God (from nothing). Seems to be a logical fallacy. It's also quite ironic that (our bodies at least) return to the ground. To someone living in Bible times all this Science would be complete nonsense. How ironic that many people now think the Bible is. It must be something to do with our level of knowledge and education or having a library full of books. Despite all the complex Science in the world. Without something as simple as H2O none of us would be living. Given that Atheists place a great deal of ‘partly blind’ faith in Science. Due to the fact that they are unlikely to know or understand the subject entirely such as watching a few videos, or relying on ‘so called’ experts, based on their current understanding (The "science was wrong before" gambit is an example of both the continuum fallacy and the nirvana fallacy). Basically all it can reliably provide is an explanation of chemical elements and how they all work together to make something a living organism and an understanding of the different life processes), they would need to be sure they are right, given that they are banking so much on it's infallibility and supremacy (as well as it’s assumptions and theoretical ideas which are usually put across as facts. I prefer to hedge my bets. I also notice that Rachel doesn't refer to Christians / Religious people directly, calling them Creationists instead I believe that given the consequences. The burden of proof is actually on the non believer. But to be fair nobody; not even the most radical Atheist or Christian, can be 100% sure either way. Despite all the rhetoric . And at the end of the day they are both largely based on belief. It's therefore a very dangerous mindset for an Atheist to want cold hard objective evidence (especially as they are so willing to believe in scientific Hypothesis). As to be fair if you discount the Bible (which Atheists do) it's really down to gut feeling, circumstances or emotions (Theologically the Grace of God). Also it seems ironic for someone to want logical proof for something which is inherently not logical. I suppose it's a symptom of someone who has put their Faith in Science. Although it shouldn't be part of the Christian character to boast. The day after death is one point where they could be justified in having bragging rights. On the contrary Atheists are only able to boast in this life. The fundamental question is who will get the last laugh? (It’s better to be a wrong Christian [not that it would matter in that scenario], than a wrong Atheist). Plus a Christian’s reliance on the Bible, ironically seems to have many similarities to an Atheists reliance on Science. Although some of the biblical prophesies could be defined as being vague. The attitudes and mindsets of some people are still as relevant now as they were then. Obviously using Science, is not a good argument to convince someone who has put their faith in it (and prophesies were vague, some science is equally as theoretical - especially when people prefer to believe in something allegedly billions of years ago and not 2000 years ago). The whole we're in the middle of infinity thing doesn't really make sense to me, however I may well have an eternity to figure it out. Therefore it seems logical to want to have a definite end point. Be that tomorrow, next week, month, year, another decade or so etc. Or prefer to believe that we (plus everything else that surrounds) are the result of many millions of years’ worth of genetic mutations (after starting off from nothing). Which all happened to coincide, with everything working perfectly in unison (including the goldilocks zone), at a time that it could be discussed on the internet (By a species that is far more advanced mentally than anything else on the planet AKA a freak of nature). Why does God exist? 'Because' Is that proof enough. Although to be fair the argument may not hold up to scientific scrutiny. But how does science explain 'The Beatles'. Why have a creator, when (science says) you don't need one? One of the great philosophical questions of the modern age. Followed by if there is a God what has he been doing all of this time? Obviously apart from everything. Although the universe is a big place apparently there is no room for God. And although the earth wasn't made for us, our life form came about to suit the planet, which seems to be a logical fallacy. The coincidence of conformity. I don't know if there is any irony in the fact that there are animals that seem to be so random, and I presume that scientists have spent a great deal of time studying them. I wonder how long it would take for someone to go from being spiritually cold to spiritually hot and not just lukewarm. The clock is ticking. However funnily enough Noah is high up on the current list of popular baby names. Apparently he was also mocked by people. Saying stories have been used to teach lessons and rules in different cultures (despite rejecting the whole Bible). What sort of physical evidence does she want? Does she want to see the marks! (Re. Doubting Thomas). Plus to be fair Darwin seems to have left plenty of wriggle room in some of his arguments. On a separate point Vox Populi, Vox Dei "the voice of the people is the voice of God." Should sometimes be taken with a pinch of salt. Particularly in light of modern culture. In both contexts it's also good advice to look at the bigger picture. I think this is where the reliance on scientific logic falls down. Much of the imaginative reasoning is just based on assumptions, presumptions, possibilities and theory (clutching at straws), tailored to suit a belief in evolution, there also seems to be alot of gaps in the story. (Might as well be fairy tales).

Just like some people don't grow up emotionally or practically. For instance they may keep on doing the same thing as they did when they were younger, maybe because it's 'Fun' or enjoyable. However life isn't a childhood game. In the same vain some people who have came to be Christians (especially when it happened at a young age). Don't really mature Spiritually in Christ. They may grow in knowledge but not in Faith. They may also grow into a Church and focus on Rituals and Religious observance, rather than Love and Truth. And view the Bible as a Rule Book instead of as a Guide Book. Have you grown into a child of Christ or 'Peter Pan'.

It's clear that we don't have all the answers. Just because I admit I don't know something doesn't suddenly make your explanation any less fictional. Either your claims are justified or they are not. That science doesn't yet have all the answers is irrelevant to your claim.
