Something We Can't Be

Another song about the church and how it has conditioned us to be gnostic Christians, meaning we think it is between us and God and nobody else. In reality, without the community of faith we are not fulfilling our purpose in God's will.

It's about how most Christians present a front that they're swell and happy and have no problems, when in reality we all struggle and have problems. If we'd admit we have problems and confess our sins to one another instead of being hypocrites, then perhaps the lost will see that we are not so different than them, except of course that we have a God to help us overcome our sin.

"Devastate the guilt, not the guilty"

When you find a brother or sister who has sin in their lives, it's not for you to condemn them. Love them and help them beat the sin, thus devastating the guilt and not the person.

I think its about 2 faced christians, one moment their praising God with a sort of spiritual high, but after that they go to the bar or do w.e their sinnful nature decides because they can't be the perfect christian they want to be so they live double lives, one spiritual and one sinful.

I've always loved this song, I thinks it's actually very pretty, the music and the lyrics, and a little more calm than the rest of "...And The Rest Will Follow". I do find myself to be a very sentimental person, though when It comes to lyrics I find it hard to put my thoughts into words. Though, I shall try lol.

I really do think it is something on the lines of the church dividing us into 'factions', if you will. Such as Baptist, Presbyterian, etc. etc. when we should truly just be following God and his word. I also see it speaking as how Christians nowadays try to hide being Christian, ashamed of being Christian, or just don't act like Christians at all even though they claim to be, and unfortunately I see that in Project 86 with a lot of their music. Some of their songs (the songs that are actually about him) are very vague on the word of Christ. :(

For the record, I do agree with @Skillet7 and @Antipride

[Edit: .]

the title is self explanitory...no need for details like ^^...even though i dont fully agree on those.

I think Skillet has it close, AND the title has a lot to do with it.

The first two verses are about the church as a whole, the common conquering Christian attitude. Save save save its a numbers game, but its done in a fake heart so much of the time. I've been there.

I've also been the one pretending everything is going great and God has given me the most perfect life, when inside my head and heart thats not what is going on.

But being honest, having hope/faith, acting with integrity, thats what is going to lead people to Jesus. Its the sin not the sinner. Get real with your faith and be true; you'll feel better about it.

Thats how I'm reading it anyways, and it feels right to me.
