"Revival has to do with repentance. Revival means you're reviving your soul; you're coming back to life. You have been dead in sin, and now you are being revived into life, into the life that comes from the God Above All Gods and the Fullness of God, the Aeons. And Jesus said, I'm showing you the way. I am the way.
He said, I am the truth. So we can trust what Jesus says. That's the red letter editions of the classical Bibles. Everything Jesus said was in red. So you can find the way. You can come to the truth by reading the words of Jesus without confusion.
And he says, I am the life, and this means the eternal life. Because down here, this material world, as we know, is transitory. This is not our permanent home. So when Jesus speaks of the life, he's talking about your ethereal, eternal life.
And he says, no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. So this generally means, as I started to say, that you have a revival situation where you come to Christ and you pray the sinner's prayer, where you say, I'm a sinner. I'm nothing. I need you, Christ, save me. Okay, that's basically the sinner's prayer. And the Christians take this to mean that you have to do it in just that way, that you have to say Jesus was the Christ and Jesus is the way to God. And here's the thing—if you don't do that in your revival situation and pray the sinner's prayer, then you will be eternally damned and you will go to hell and be tortured forever by a supposedly all-loving and all-forgiving God."
Thanks for including the link to Revival by the Eurythmics. I hadn't heard that one before. Had me dancing in my office chair. What flawless skin Annie Lennox had!
Funny where you ended the quote from this episode, with 'most everyone going to hell.
Yes! I added Let Your Love Flow to my performance queue. I'm putting on a neighborhood block party at the end of this month and putting on a concert for the crowd. All of the songs have to do with loving and heading for the light. Wish you could make it!
Revival, Eurythmics ;-} https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDszbss__VI

It was a more powerful contrast that way.
