I have never HEARD OF "Peterson" !
I took a very good class in Western European Religious History my freshman year but such a person was never once brought up.
Who on earth IS he ?
If was in Maria's West. Civilization class, that speaks loudly for the low caliber of such courses now.
Good commentaries by Maria and Icxypion.
Additional point : why would it say "Reveal who you are". "You" isn't even capitalized so one can sense the
irreverence from this fact alone.
And then why command God to reveal Himself ?! Who has that right to demand such a thing and so vaguely.
If it said "Reveal Your meanings in verses which are disputed often" one might sort of see that one.
The whole thing is silly and soupy New Age thought, seems like.
"Keep us safe from ourselves and the Devil" I guess might make it more Protestant ?
But why "ourselves" FIRST, rather than the Devil mentioned together with his vast hordes of demons ?
That's the real threat.
It's those demons who lead us astray and cause humans to make bad decisions which cost us dear.
So it should be "Don't let us heed the Devil's evil counsel". If this guy or group really wants to improvise something, make it focus clearly on the most realistic threats to our safety, spiritual as well as in every domain !
I didn't even get to the end of that stupid ditty.
Now I see the "yes yes yes". Pathetic ! Must be a football cheer, or something like that ?
