that, my friend, is the authenticity of the spirit. The song is singing the Lords Prayer

[@lalaithan]

I couldn't for years but then today I was listening to it and paging around the parts of the Bible about music and found this: "but be filled with the Spirit, addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with all your heart, always and for everything giving thanks in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father." Ephesians 5:18-20 It pretty much sums it up.

[@Tobiasskjacobsen]

It's the Holy Spirit! Jesus is alive!

[@DarknessIsTheTruth]

[@adrianloveslucius]

That's assuming that God had anything at all to do with those events. We are relying on the written word of humans, who claim it is the word of God. People with strong feelings about things wrote the bible... not God. We don't truly know God, except what he echoes to us in our souls.

[@m.j.piazza7853]

@meerontbijtkoek yes! You worded this beautifully ✨

[@kfox773]

@meerontbijtkoek - Yes!! Because music and songs themselves are basically their own language! And the best part of all, is that: no matter who you are, where you live/where you are now, what you may have done in the past, or which country you came from, heck not even your native tongue (or, native language) is enough to stop music and songs from bringing people together. They are a beautiful part of our (Note: I'm using the term "our" collectively as in, "all of you other fellow humans out there".) histories and cultures. And, I have no doubt that any of us would be who we are if music and songs had never come into existence. Especially since the language of music and songs is universal!

[@CantateDomino373]

That’s super interesting. “Tafadhali” is similar to Arabic with “tafaddal”, which can roughly mean “Go ahead” or is a gracious way to give permission. Like saying “Please, go ahead!” With proper context. I find this even more cool because Jesus likely preached in Aramaic, the early root language of Arabic. With the context of this Bible verse, one can kind of translate this from Arabic/Aramaic as giving permission- like “Please go then, pray like this....”
