spiritual
The term spiritual is derived from spiritual song. The King James Bible's translation of Ephesians V.19 is: "Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord." The term spiritual song was often used in the white Christian community through the 19th century (and indeed much earlier), but not the term spiritual. Negro spiritual first appears in print in the 1860s,[7] where slaves are described as using the noun spiritual for religious songs sung sitting or standing in place Read Full BioThe term spiritual is derived from spiritual song.

The term spiritual song was often used in the white Christian community through the 19th century (and indeed much earlier), but not the term spiritual. Negro spiritual first appears in print in the 1860s,[7] where slaves are described as using the noun spiritual for religious songs sung sitting or standing in place, and spiritual shouts for more dance-like music.
Musicologist George Pullen Jackson extended the term spiritual to a wider range of folk hymnody, as in his 1938 book White Spirituals in the Southern Uplands, but this does not appear to have been widespread usage previously. The term is often broadened to include subsequent arrangements into more standard American hymnodic styles, and to include post-emancipation songs with stylistic similarities to the original Negro spirituals.
Although numerous rhythmical and sonic elements of Negro spirituals can be traced to African sources, nonetheless it is a fact that Negro spirituals are a musical form that is indigenous and specific to the religious experience in the United States of Africans transported from Africa. They are a result of the interaction of African religious elements with music and religion derived from Europe. Further, this interaction occurred only in the United States. Africans who converted to Christianity in other parts of the world, even in the Caribbean and Latin America, did not evolve this form.

@chitownkidd33 I do not want to argue that Christ is or is not God. I just will remind you that Christ was very, very fond of stating things like I am the way in life, I am the way to reach heaven, I am the son of man, son of God, etc. He referred to himself and described himself as the right way to live, as all moral, loving, intelligent, kind to others, etc. The right way to live as a human being. Naturally, it makes sense to believe in all those things. As he is all those things.
He did not say I'm Jesus some days I like to hurt people, insult people, etc. You must believe in me.
He is saying love one another and be good to each other as I am. Christ told us he is all that is good, the true way to heaven. I agree. Being all those things Christ said he is, believing that is the way to heaven. Believing in Christ, all that is, everything he stated he is, all that is Christ. Indeed, that is the true way to heaven.
I do not see how that disqualifies a Jew or Moslem, etc, from getting into heaven. That is just how I think Christ's words are meant to be. I do not know why some Christians think Christ will not allow a Jew or Moslem who lives a life as Christ states we should live, and believes in all the things that he said he is, will not get into heaven.
I will also disagree with any moslem or jew, etc, who says their God is the true God, the only true way to haven. It seems absurd to me. I do think that Christ was avery, very loving, charming, super intelligent man. I will not tell you that he is not God.
I do believe that Christ existed during in that time the Bible says he did. I think he was a real person. I dont agree with many people today who say he is a myth, like a made up person. That, too, is absurd. If you read the Bible, you will come to realize that the quotes follow a very similar pattern and style in expression of the message. I think it is fair to say one man very likely said at the very least most all those quotes rather than a group or groups of people writing those quotes and attributing them to one man. It is popular to state now that Christ was not a real person. I completely disagree.

A Sublime & Divinely inspired song.
George Harrison donated Bhaktivedanta Manor to the Hare Krishna movement in February 1973
