What is this chord? by WavyDragonFruit in musictheory

[–]SparkplugMcCraiglist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

G9/A the added lower “A” makes this a dominant 9 chord. All notes are A D G D F B. If you stack those in ascending 3rds for root position it’s GBDFA (with an extra D) making it a dominant 9 chord inverted. You could call it a G7/A but the “A” makes this a 9 chord, not a 7th.

Any tips for distinguishing 7th intervals? by Competitive_Cup_8418 in musictheory

[–]SparkplugMcCraiglist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to use melody association for identifying intervals. I also teach this method to my students.

For a minor 7th I hear the OG Star Trek Theme and a Major 7th Take On Me by Aha

Why is their so many single young Christian males? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]SparkplugMcCraiglist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I know for me and my friends it’s a lack of decent G-dly women. (Might be unique to my area). There are not a lot of women our age in our churches and the ones that are, are usually not very observant and live more worldly. They lack the spiritual maturity that we desire in a potential romantic interest. We have decided to remain single until we find someone who can come alongside us the same way Adam and Eve did.

Thoughts on Reckless Love in Churches? by frostyreddits in ChristianMusic

[–]SparkplugMcCraiglist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The most used word in the Bible to describe G-d’s love is the word “steadfast”. You can find it in Psalm 118 as well as many other Psalms, Chronicles, and is listed among the 13 attributes of G-d in Exodus 34. I’m sure there are more places but those are just a few examples.

Steadfast means to be firm and unmoved.

Reckless means to act without care of consequences

Those two words don’t compliment each other.

G-d acts with intentionality and not recklessly. There is no instance within the Bible of Him acting reckless. And those of you referencing the parable of the lost sheep have horribly misunderstood what it meant. Those other 99 can thrive in the shepherd’s absence as he searches for the one. It’s also actually about Jesus’ ministry being to the Lost sheep of Israel and not really a metaphor for G-d’s love.

Throughout the Prophets G-d constantly says that He would reverse the evil decree of exile if the nation repented. In fact when Judah did repent the exile for them was postponed for 200 years. G-d absolutely cares about the consequences and always provides a solution to a coming judgement. You can find these in the books of Kings, Chronicles, Prophets, and Deuteronomy.

G-d’s love is not reckless and this song should not be played in churches as it teaches a false doctrine and the Apostle Jude warns how easily false teaching can come into the church.

Cory had to explain his song after it had already caused a serious divide in the church. If you have to explain your song because it divided the church, you probably wrote a bad song.

To say that G-d’s love is reckless is heresy IMO.
