that is a blink-182 song.

and like tammie says.

secular songs can have Christian thoughts.

or people can interpret them to be Christian.

i know i am lost without God and Jesus.

 

 

so last night i went to CCC and it was their c-mas cantata.

and they had a video that interpreted the meanings of c-mas songs.

 

in the title for God rest ye, merry gentlemen  over time we have misplaced the comma.

the comma was originally after  merry, not ye.

the definition of  merry at the time the song was written meant great and powerful.

the rest means to arrest or we would say today to keep.

so the title of the song really means God keeps you powerful, gentlemen.

 

and when people wish you a merry Christmas, they are wishing you a powerful time with Christ.

mas mean time with.

so that is how i say that.

 

i bet that changes you views on some of our beloved c-mas sayings and songs.

 

So may everyone have a powerful time with Christ this Christmas holiday and remember that God will keep you powerful in the new year!
