On the Turntable - Burlap to Cashmere

Tags:
@ 01:40 PM (23 days, 5 hours ago)

What do you get when you cross two Greek cousins Steven Delopoulos and John Philippidis who also happen to be classically trained guitar players?....Burlap to Cashmere

 Known for their signature sound rooted in lightning-fast acoustic guitar rhythms that draws heavily on folk and world music influences, especially flamenco-style guitar work the group has done little since

'Anybody Out There'

Did I mention they're a Christian band?

  38. ps - All Rock & Roll is Dionysian (satanic) and is meant to deconstruct order. That doesn't mean than an "occassional" Dionysia can't be a healthy thing. Just don't turn into a metal-head (like beamish) ;-) ;-) :-)

  39. Who doesn't like Jimmy Page...the guy is a guitar genius.

  40. I didn't say he couldn't play - I said he's a satanist moron.

    Comment by Woody— 2008/04/29 @ 10:31 AM — (Reply)

  41. Dude performed black magic rituals on his audience in concerts without them realizing what he was doing. Who knows what influence that did have over anyone - or what he intended for it to do. There's a good video explaining it and showing how he's performing an Aleister Crowley inspired bs ritual. ewww they suck.

    Comment by Woody— 2008/04/29 @ 10:36 AM — (Reply)

  42. and of course it was a youtube video where you found this out

    Comment by Elmers Brother— 2008/04/29 @ 11:37 AM — (Reply)

  43. Hey woody/dugg as a Christian I don't care if he threw fairy dust on me...it won't have any effect....moron

    Comment by Elmers Brother— 2008/04/29 @ 11:11 AM — (Reply)

  44. No, actually it was an interview with him where he talked about his love for Crowley - its the bs with the bow where he points it in the 4 directions - but
    Whatever, elmer - I wasn't calling you a moron - I was calling him a satanist moron.

    Comment by Woody— 2008/04/29 @ 12:31 PM — (Reply)

  45. BTW I'm not Dugg

    Comment by Woody— 2008/04/29 @ 12:34 PM — (Reply)

  46. you have the same IP address...funny that

    Comment by Elmers Brother— 2008/04/29 @ 12:40 PM — (Reply)

  47. Merely being a Christian doesn't make you impervious to the devil - especially if you don't even know you're under attack.

  52. Dugg / Woody / surely you guys know better than calling people morons. You Mom(s) should wash your mouths out with soap.

  53. If you watch the Prestige you'll figure it out.:neutral:

    Comment by Woody— 2008/04/29 @ 01:04 PM — (Reply)

  54. who cares about Prestige - read the Bible

    Jesus didn't save you only to have Jimmy Page cast a spell on you....bwahahaha

    you need the correct theology man

    Comment by Elmers Brother— 2008/04/29 @ 01:08 PM — (Reply)

  55. Well uh - why will even the very elect be deceived during the endtimes? Spells may work if you invite them unknowingly into your life. Didn't God let Job be effected by the devil? He was one of the purest souls on earth. Don't think you're above being tempted/influenced/effected - cos if you read your bible you know satan is a ravenous lion - roaming about looking for souls to devour.
    How many millions of hippies and burnouts know Led Zeppelin better than a Bible? Jimmy Page has influenced millions to varying degrees.

  57. nothing can separate the believer from God

    Romans 8:38-39

    38 For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.

    God allowed Job to be tried by the devil...not decieved by the devil.

    Dugg why the disguise?

    Comment by Woody— 2008/04/29 @ 04:46 PM — (Reply)

  59. Studying the Bible on this issue I have became absolutely convinced that a true believer in Jesus Christ could never be possessed by a demon or lose his salvation to the devil.

    Here are a couple of reasons why I believe this so strongly. First of all, there is no example in the New Testament of a believer in Jesus Christ being demon possessed or an instance where the devil took someone away from Christ. In fact Jesus said, "My sheep hear my voice adn they know me and NO ONE can snatch them from my Fathers hand."

    There are instances where Satan is influencing believers or oppressing believers, but no examples of demons possessing Christians or of one losing his salvation to the influence of the the devil. Nor is there any instance of 'black magic' causing a Christian to be influenced.

    Secondly, the devil would have to first overthrow the Spirit of Jesus guarding the soul of the Christian. The Bible makes it clear in Ephesians 1:13 and 14 that
    "And you also were included in Christ when you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation. Having believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, who is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are God's possession-to the praise of his glory."

    That means that as soon as we trust in Jesus Christ as our Savior the Lord causes His Holy Spirit to live inside of us. He is commissioned by God to stay inside of us until we are in the very presence of God Himself in heaven! He lives inside of us as proof to us that we are His. And the Holy Spirit is God's down payment on our soul. He is there to strengthen us to serve God, set us apart from sin, encourage us when we are discouraged and protect our souls from evil!

    When the Spirit of God seals the soul of the believer, it's almost as though he puts a "Do Not Disturb" sign on the heart of the believer. No demon can enter when that sign is on, and it is always on.

    For a demon to take possession of the soul, he has to face the Spirit of Jesus head on. Here's how Jesus put it in Luke 11:21-22,
    "When a strong man, fully armed, guards his own house, his possessions are safe. But when someone stronger attacks and overpowers him, he takes away the armor in which the man trusted and divides up the spoils."

    What Jesus is saying is that when a demon possesses a man or a woman the demon is the strongman who is in control of that soul. The demon is going to control and protect his turf. When Jesus comes into someone's life he becomes "the soul stealer." He takes the demon, ties him up, throws him out and steals that soul for God.

    How does this prove that a Christian could never be possessed by a demon or lose his soul to the devil? Simple, when a demon possesses a soul that person's only hope is that Jesus comes in and takes control of that soul. Then he becomes the strongman. He becomes the "bodyguard". Now that soul is his turf. So for a demon to take possession of that soul again he would first have to tie up Jesus and throw him out. That's not going to happen.

  60. Who said anything about being possessed or losing salvation? I'm just talking about people being subjected to messages and ideas that they are unaware of and the potential for those messages to influence us to varying degrees. Besides, everyone who listens to Zeppelin isn't a christian - probably the vast majority of their fans.

    Let me put it this way - Why do you think he does those rituals in concert? For no reason? He must think or hope for some effect.
    I'd rather hear some idiot like Slayer act evil and be perposterous than have someone sublimely try and sneak it past me in the hopes of influencing my thinking in some way - but that's just me.

  61. People do have times when their faith wanes and grows cold - they aren't seperated from God - but the potential to fall in to sin is always present.

    Comment by Woody— 2008/04/29 @ 04:43 PM — (Reply)

  62. Even Jesus was tempted by the devil.

    Comment by Woody— 2008/04/29 @ 04:45 PM — (Reply)

  63. Be careful, Woody.
    The devil tempted him, but he wasn't tempted like you and I might be.
    He resisted temptation completely.

    Comment by Pinky— 2008/04/29 @ 06:35 PM — (Reply)

  64. My point exactly - nobody else can - and no matter if your saved or not - you're still a sinner - you still sin - and you're not perfect. You still make mistakes - you still need continual repentance and forgiveness - and you can still be tricked. Almost everything in this world is a deception.
    Nice big wide path to hell that men think is the right way.

    and to answer your question Elmer - no - I'm not afraid - but I see him for what he is and I refuse to kiss his ass for being able to play a guitar.

    Comment by Dugg— 2008/04/30 @ 01:21 AM — (Reply)

  65. dugg I wouldn't go to Jimmy Page for spiritual advice trust me but if I wanted to learn the guitar...I think I could learn a few things...and if I was able to take lessons from him...those black magic spells would have no influence on me

    "...in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us."

    Be of good cheer because Christ has overcome this world.

  67. I can resist anything .....but temptation.....lol...oscar wilde.......riff

    Comment by riffran— 2008/04/30 @ 01:01 AM — (Reply)

  68. falling into sin is much different than the devil influencing you...the devil can only be in one place at a time

    James 1:14

    But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

    It's our own desires there Woody, not some black magic spell that Jimmy Page cast on you.

    Are you afraid of being influenced by Jimmy?

    Comment by Elmers Brother— 2008/04/30 @ 01:04 AM — (Reply)

  69. dugg there is a huge difference between our tendency to sin and someone throwing "some black magic" your way and 'causing' you to sin
