Baby Got Book

Intro
Oh my goodness, Becky, look at her Bible
It is so big
She looks like one of those preacher guys girlfriends
But... you know... Who understands those preacher boys
They only talk to her because she looks like Mother Teresa, ok?
I mean her Bible... it's just so big
I can't believe it's so huge
Ugh! It gross!
Look, she's just so... righteous
Verse 1
I like big Bibles and I can not lie
You Christian brothers can't deny
That when a girl walks in with a KJV
And a book mark in Proverbs
You get stoked
Got her name engraved
So you know that girl is saved
It looks like one of those large ones
With plenty o' space in the margins
Oh baby, I wanna read witcha
Cause your Bible's got pictures
My minister tried to console me
But that Book you got makes ("M-m-me so holy")
Ooh, momma-mia
You say you want koinonia
Well, bless me, bless me
And teach me about John Wesley
I saw her praying
While I was DJing
She got grace...pretty face
She ain't goin' down to the bad place
I'm tired of heathen guys
Sayin' they like pocket-size
Ask the average Christian to take a look
She's gotta pack much Book
So...Fellas (Yeah), fellas (Yeah)
Has your girlfriend got the Book (Oh yeah!)
Well, read it (Read it!), read it (Read it!), read that Holy Book
Baby got Book
Chorus
(NIV with a ribbon bookmark)
Baby got Book
(NIV with a ribbon bookmark)
Verse 2
I like 'em leather and bound
It's 50 pounds
I just can't understand
How it is, some weenie
Wants the Bible on CD
She wanna get you saved
Amen! Double up! A-men!
I ain't talkin' about a paraphrase
Cuz Paul wouldn't use those anyways
I like 'em real thick and red-lettered
You can't find nothin' better
Southpaw's in love
Bibles that big are unheard of
So I'm sittin' here thinkin' "What if...
I find me a girl that shows midriff?"
You can have those bimbos
I'll keep those chicks that do devos
A word to the Christian sistas
I can't resist ya
I'll do God's time witcha
But I gotta be straight when I say I wanna pray
Til the break of day
Baby, got it goin' on
Like the wife in Pro-verbs 31
We just might get engaged
When we finish reading this page
Cuz it's worn and it's torn
And I know this girl's reborn
So ladies (yeah), ladies (yeah)
Do you wanna save people from Hades (yeah)
Then read it...'til the pages fall out
Even white preachers got to shout
Baby got Book
Chorus
(Thompson Chain with big red letters)
Baby got Book
Yeah baby
When it comes to a good book
Stephen King's resume just can't compare
39 + 27 = 66 books
And if you're Catholic...there's even more
Verse 3
So your girlfriend quotes Bill Hybels
But does she got a big Bible?
Cuz that little things she's got won't start a revival
My Bible study don't want none,
Unless you got Book, hun
...You can read Clancy or Grisham
But please don't loose this Book
Some brothers wanna play that hard role
And tell you that Book's too old
So they toss it and burn it
And I pull up quick to just learn it
So your girl likes paperback?
Well I ain't down with that
Cuz my girlfriend's hot her Bible's rockin'
And she's got good doctrine
To the atheist chicks who try to dis
You ain't it Miss Priss
Give me a Christian, I'm insistin'
And I'll greet her with some holy kissin'
Some pervert tried to chase
But he didn't make it past first base
She's quick to resist temptation
And she loves a new translation
So ladies who were lost and found
If you want the triple-six thrown down
Dial 1-800-READS-A-LOT
And teach me about those Psalms
Baby got Book
Chorus
(NIV with a ribbon bookmark)
Baby got Book
(Thompson Chain with big red letters)
(Bible college knowledge but she still got Book)

| So as all of you know who are or have taken New Testament there
are several traditionally accepted truths that are at least confronted
if not directly attacked. This is a jounal i have written on the use of
historical context in interpretation. I would love any comments or
suggestions.
God Bless
As
with any book, the Bible requires careful observance of both the original times
in which it was written and the context of the letter as a whole, this is also
called authorial intent. In addition to these careful observances, one must
also be especially careful not to carry this contextual interpretation to an
illogical extent. If one emphasizes historical context over even what is
plainly said in the scriptures, the scriptures become meaningless, just a
collection of over read stories. It becomes possible to explain away all the
truths one would desire to omit from the scriptures, restraining the word of
God to a role of minimal effect and influence.
Now
this is not to say that historical context and authorial intent do not play a
role, for example read Titus 1:12b-13. “’Cretans (people from crete) are always
liars, evil beasts, lazy gluttons.’ This testimony is True. For this cause
reprove them severely that they may be sound in faith.” Now is this to say that
all Cretans are of this nature and are doomed to be such throughout time? No.
This is not an attack on the Cretan people, but rather a condemnation and
exposing of false prophets, Paul is using this as an example of what to look
for. In addition to simply the literary context one can see this through the
historical context, facts like the Cretans were traditionally used as examples
of liars for their ancient claim that the grave of Zeus was on their Island.
The
tool and abilities we posses through utilizing historical context are indeed a
double edged sword, one can take it too far and use it to misinterpret passages
impacting all areas of theology. Lately in Christendom it is used frequently to
change the meaning of homosexuality, role of women, tongues, etc. I am not
against contextual studies, rather I believe one needs to exercise extreme
caution when moving from the literal literary interpretation to one of a
historical base.

| So what is up with the communist and and anti-capitalistic
democracy we have seen so evident in the nations most recent animated
family film. The overthrow/murder of the capitalist for an "altruistic"
dictator sounds like something one would hear in a Soviet /
Chinese film and not one of our own born and bread American. You may be
wondering what film I am talking about, or you may have seen the same
flick as I, for those of you who have yet to see it, it is the film
Robots.
Now, there is no reason to be against communism as the doctrine is
intended. The idea of "From each what is possible, and to each what is
needed" is a very popular ideal that has been adopted by many devoted
religious groups: jesuits, catholic monks, some hyper-conservative
compounds, etc. But it can never work over the long time without an
incredible devotion to some higher governing power, and in the absence
of religion, this power becomes the state. The only problem with
communism is that it is completely against all natural human beliefs
and tenancies and thus does not cater to the humanity in humans. In
other words, it does not provide incentives to the selfish nature of
humanity.
So anyway, Robots, i was ranting about Robots. So in the beginning we
are introduced to the wonderful Coperbottum family who are smalltime
workers in the the Robot nation. He is not a business owner or an
ambitiously sole, rather one content to do his job and get his pay. We
later travel with Rodney who is demonstrating an entrapenurial
spirit. (Ya rodney!) After a while longer he finds out his altruistic
leader is no more and has been replaced by a businessman. Appearantly
this guy is trying and succeding in making a profit and Rodney needs to
stop him. Now the reason he would attest to is the good of his fellow
bots. Ratchet has decided to discontinue the parts line and rather
intending to get only into new upgrades. Now why does the public have
to cry about this? Is this not his prerogative? Does the public get to
decide what any given producer makes? So this then follows the
rise of the proletariat where we overthrow the current regime for one
which will nurture and care for the public while sacrificing the money
out of his own product.
Now this can also be an argument against monopolies, and some would
treat it as such. Afterall if there was no monopoly whouldn't there be
no problem for the people of Robot city, they could just turn to
another producer and obtain their spare parts there.So the real problem
here is the stupidity of the Robot population for not posesing the
initiative to start their own competing factories or to embrace a black
market system like in the soviet union.
Well i am sorry if I have tainted a movie you enjoy. I admit there is
cause for laughter at least 8 times throughout the film, just keep in
mind the ideals being propagated into you when you aren't looking.
