Eternity
The Forth Lyrics
Jump to: Line by Line Meaning ↴
Show me your cloven hoof
I will sign my name
I will await my fate
Take me to the seventh circle
Take me to the end of days
Put my head on the chopping block
We won’t wake up from this dream
We are pure until we awake
Call me a curse and put me down
Lay me to rest and pour the dirt
Will I fade into the void or emerge unscathed
Will I float with a stone or be burned at the stake
My soul is a coffin
I breathe in dirt
I call out to your ghost
An empty forest and no sun
Cold and hidden
Don’t wait for me
Show me your horns
Reveal your true nature and intentions
Show me your cloven hoof
Expose your hidden evil and deceit
I will sign my name
I am willingly accepting my destiny
I will await my fate
I will patiently face the consequences
Take me to the seventh circle
Bring me to absolute torment and suffering
Take me to the end of days
Bring me to the point of ultimate destruction
Put my head on the chopping block
Offer myself as a sacrifice
Sharpen your knives and your teeth
Prepare to attack and devour
We won’t wake up from this dream
We are trapped in a perpetual nightmare
We are pure until we awake
Our innocence remains until we confront reality
Call me a curse and put me down
Label me as a bringer of misfortune and destruction
Lay me to rest and pour the dirt
Bury me and let me find peace in death
Will I fade into the void or emerge unscathed
Will I be forgotten or survive without harm
Will I float with a stone or be burned at the stake
Will I be burdened or face severe punishment
My soul is a coffin
My inner self is trapped and lifeless
I breathe in dirt
I am suffocating in despair and hopelessness
I call out to your ghost
I desperately reach out to your spirit, seeking solace
An empty forest and no sun
A desolate, bleak existence with no hope or warmth
Cold and hidden
Emotionally detached and concealed
Don’t wait for me
Do not expect my presence or involvement

Truth
Wouldn't trusting god be a work of FREE WILL! Isn't that a no no?
I don't think John Calvin would approve of a work like that.
John Calvin said. Of this, the very term in question [free will] furnishes too strong a proof…I think the abolition of it would be of great advantage to the Church. I am unwilling to use it myself; and others, if they will take my advice, will do well to abstain from it.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 2, Chapter 2, Paragraphs 7-8)
There is no FREE WILL so how can we trust John Calvin said
“…it is very wicked merely to investigate the causes of God’s will. For his will is, and rightly ought to be, the cause of all things that are.”…”For God’s will is so much the highest rule of righteousness that whatever he wills, by the very fact that he wills it, must be considered righteous. When, therefore, one asks why God has so done, we must reply: because he has willed it. But if you proceed further to ask why he so willed, you are seeking something greater and higher than God’s will, which cannot be found.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 23, Paragraph 1)
“…we say that God once established by his eternal and unchangeable plan those whom he long before determined once for all to receive into salvation, and those whom, on the other hand, he would devote to destruction…he has barred the door of life to those whom he has given over to damnation.” (John Calvin, Institutes of Christian Religion, Book 3, Chapter 21, Paragraph 7)
Because man has no FREE WILL we are little more than puppets just like John Piper says on his website.
Quote: "God . . . brings about all things in accordance with his will. In other words, it isn’t just that God manages to turn the evil aspects of our world to good for those who love him; it is rather that he himself brings about these evil aspects for his glory (see Ex. 9:13-16; John 9:3) and his people’s good (see Heb. 12:3-11; James 1:2-4). This includes—as incredible and as unacceptable as it may currently seem—God’s having even brought about the Nazis’ brutality at Birkenau and Auschwitz as well as the terrible killings of Dennis Rader and even the sexual abuse of a young child . . ."

TRUTH IN LOVE
James Wiliams
Eternal Life The Heavenly Kingdom is not a place…it is a way of being! Spiritual life is not the learning of spiritual truths, but a life of union-communication with the Holy Spirit Sainthood which is a description of being Holy is a supernatural state of being that is an acknowledgment of the Union of man with God. This union takes place in a Mysterious way during Baptism delivered by the Apostles as described in (Galatians 3:27) “You were baptized into union with Christ, and now you are clothed, with the life of Christ himself” In his first letter to the Corinthians chapter 6 verse 19 the Apostle of the nations Paul is very clear in describing the “details” of this supernatural union/condition. “Don’t you know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and who was given to you by God?” Being the temple of God (Holy) describes the only purpose on man on earth and it also describes the Heavenly Kingdom. [Luke 17:21] No one will say, “Look here it is”! Or, “There it is!” because the Kingdom of God is within you”.

If the Salvation does not include the return to the presence of God...what good is it?
The vision of Divine Light
This is what Lord Jesus told St. Symeon when He became worthy to His presence in His Divine Light.
“It is me, God, Who became man for you; and behold that I have made you, as you see, and shall make you god”.

Ierotheos Metropolitan of Naupaktos about Greek Orthodox Baptism
“Through the "rite of birth in God", holy baptism, man's nous (mind) is illuminated, freed from slavery to sin and the devil, and is united with God.
The word Salvation means "salvation from death" and the word "death" means the eternal separation of man from God!

RC was a gift. The wisest of sermons I have heard are from this one man. He is missed. What a great loss.
Thank you Ligonier for continuing and sharing his knowledge. He never stopped learning of God and Jesus. He never ceased teaching what he knew.

Sproul is still an important gift to the church.

Judy,a habit I have used in my life is to practice, due to my belief that Brother RC is a gift. A precious gift from God. When I read the Bible, and study it. I will use time stamps God has created to discern that for example: John 1:1-2. IN The beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and The Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God.
I firstly must say, that there is not any form of a mistake in your comments, nor especially The Written Words Inspired by God. I always change the “ was” to is. It is a choice I make to help me remember that our Triune God is not bound by time. So in my own mind I believe RC is a gift. We can watch him preach today. We can see Jesus today. We can hear The Holy Spirit today. Now. Without any ceasing. I must add, there is not any error at all in John 1:1-2 because as written According To Jesus Christ. Time was used to bring back to life what truthfully transpired. But especially in John 1:1-14 we know Our Triune God is not subject to time.
I could try and delight myself in how I perceive myself. That is not at all my point. In this context just knowing without hesitation that Pastor is
Because God is,and always will be🙂
