| Great lyrics...
Embracing Accusation by Shane and Shane
The Father of lies, coming to steal kill and destroy
All my hopes of being good enough
I hear him saying, “cursed are the ones who can’t abide”
He’s right, halleluia, he’s right
The devil is preaching the song of the redeemed
That I am cursed and gone astray
I cannot gain salvation
Embracing accusation
Could the father of lies be telling the truth of
God to me tonight?
That if the penalty of sin is death, then death is mine
I hear him saying, “cursed are the ones who can’t abide”
The devil’s singing over me an age old song
That I am cursed and gone astray
Singing the first verse so conveniently over me
He’s forgotten the refrain...
JESUS SAVES!

| Thoughts on the omnipresence of God (in ye olde talke):
"Do not, therefore think that God is present in certain places: he is with thee such a one as thou shalt have been [as you have been]. What is that which thou shalt have been? Good, if thou shalt have been good; and he will seem evil to thee, if thou shalt have been evil; but a Helper, if thou shalt have been good; an Avenger, if thou shalt have been evil. There thou hast a judge in thy secret place. When thou dost wish to do something evil, thou retirest from the public of thy house which are open and visible to the eyes of men thou - removest thyself into thy chamber; even in thy chamber thou fearest some witness from another quarter; thou retirest into thy heart, there thou meditatest: he is more inward than thy heart. Whithersoever, therefore, thou shalt have fled, there he is. From thyself whither wilt thou flee? Wilt thou not follow thyself whithersoever thou shalt flee? But since there is One more inward even than thyself, there is no place whither thou mayest flee from God angry but to God reconciled. There is no place at all whither thou mayest flee. Wilt thou flee from him? Flee unto him."
And, here man tries to use language to describe the mystery of Perichoresis - the mutual indwelling of God in God in God:
"The trinitarian mode of existence pertains to God's very essence...'For to God it is not one thing to be, another to be a person, but it is absolutely the same thing'... For if essence pertain to God in an absolute sense, but personality only in a relative sense, then the three persons could not constitute one being. Hence every person is identical with the entire being, and equal to the other two persons taken together, or to all the three...'In the highest trinity one is as much as the three together, nor are two anything more than one; moreover they are infinite in themselves. So both each is in each, and all are in each, and each is in all, and all are in all, and all are one.'"
“They [i.e. the three Persons who exist perichoretically in one substance or being] reciprocally contain One another, so that One should permanently envelope, and also be permanently enveloped by the Other, whom yet he envelopes.”
“The subsistences dwell and are established firmly in one another. For they are inseparable and cannot part from one another, but keep to their separate courses within one another, without coalescing or mingling, but clinging to each other. For the Son is in the Father and the Spirit: and the Spirit in the Father and the Son: and the Father in the Son and the Spirit, but there is not coalescence or commingling or confusion.”
Chew on that. Then try to even fathom it.

Is there a pun that I'm missing or did someone seriously not run the grammar and spelling of this shirt by a person with a degree before making hundreds?
