RE: Lindsey Stirling Video - Hallelujah
The man who wrote this song was a jew. This cannot accurately be described as as christian song.

It doesn't matter who that wrote but what he wrote
My dear frieend @sneak
I do not know if English is your first language, I had not described the song at all. Thanks for the information and I hope it has lifted your Spirits this morning.
Blessings.
The first tag on this post is "christianity" and there's a big jesus/cross thing at the bottom.
I collect covers of this song (Rufus, John Cale, Jeff Buckley, et al) and I've seen it performed live twice by Mr. Cohen himself. It makes me a bit sad to see it co-opted to promote such a destructive religion, and especially one that it is not affiliated with.
This is a very disturbing comment.
Did you seriously say that? You seem to be swinging wide today, playing the role of tag police, religion police and spam police. Is this your new position in Steemit?
Christianity claims to be the logical culmination of Judaism. It offers peace and love in return for persecution and hate.
Cohen's song reveals massive confusion regarding David, Samson and the teaching of Moses. But there is a "realness" in his song that most of us can relate to. There is even a sense of confusion that it carries that resonates with us all, even while praising YHWH.
FWIW, the song has been "christianized" by artists as well, so presenting it as a Christian song is not disingenuous. Not affiliated with? The Torah is as much a part of Christianity as the New Covenant is. Do you know who the single greatest demographic of Israel supporters in the US is? Cohen himself commented on Jesus:
This little girl and her classmates are dangerous?
Really? Christianity a destructive religion(!)?
That statement is the definition for RUDE... Insulting Christian members like that was not expected. Hope you take that back.
The destruction wrought upon the people of Earth by monotheism throughout the centuries is well-documented elsewhere and is objective fact, and if you re-read my comment you will note that it says nothing whatsoever about individual practitioners of any religion, so I hope that you will reconsider being insulted.
Ok I reconsider, if you make me the favour to watch this video ...
Are you Christian @sneak?
That's a rude question.
rude? Why is that?
edit I just saw your edited comment above, so that explains it all! (Wow!)
I could only see this part...
Oh I see, my friends had ask me to post it here.
If it is a problem with Steemit,Inc then we certainly need to know that.
Thank you.
I am sure @dan and @ned will not have a problem with your post. I assume it was just a bad moment from their employe and he will be thinking more clear and openminded in the future. Keep posting without fear!
I don't have a problem with his post either, other than the fact that it is mistagged. This is a song written by a jew with lyrics involving David and the God of Abraham, tagged "christianity". If I'd have had a problem with it, I would have flagged it, and I didn't.
To be clear, I rather love the song and this is a lovely version of it; I am glad @angels posted it.
Here ya go @sneak God Bless
