Bullet to Binary (Pt. Two) Lyrics
in dying we reply
and lower our baskets down
into the open bed
of the fruit truck passing by
and we can smile at each other again
me and my cantelope friend
cast our cares at the couple of pears
put a blueberry garland on an apple bed
the apple threw our half baked fears
like a wooden shoe in the windmill gear
the turning stopped and we clearly saw
the flaws in that which finds the flaw
the strawberry said to the tangerine
"my face is red but our hats are green"
be it orchard or a curling vine
the son of yours is the Son that's my
God...
in neatly sectioned beds and rows
but one day asked the gardener
to be moved to where the eggplant goes
"reason being, i must confess
i adore her shining purple dress"
as the eggplant listened in
she wasn't offended but she wasn't impressed
the potato called from underground
"you've got it all turned upside down!
does the rain that sent each spring anew
to fall on her not fall on you?
you project on her your inward scene
she's a blank external movie screen
but the One who looks out from your eyes
looks through hers and looks through mine
we're gonna reap what we sow
we all well know
we're all gonna reap what we sow
so may we old fashionably suggest
the unmarried not undress
we well know
we're gonna reap what we sow
we all well know
we're gonna reap what we so
we all well know
what kind of crops are gonna grow
from each time you disrespect your parents
you better hope we don't hear it
we who know
you're gonna reap what you sow
we all well know
we're gonna reap what we sow
but grace, we all know
can take the place of all we owe
so why not, let's forgive everyone everywhere everything
all the time everyone everywhere everything
"let us die, let us die...."
"lettuce grows, lettuce grows..."
hahahaha.

At first I thought he said "if you disrespect your carrots", but upon further inspection I do believe it to be "parents."
Is the apple Christ?
I think there is no reason to believe that Aaron thinks salvation is only through Jesus. Unless he blatantly states that Jesus is God. What ever though, we should never expect him to believe everything we believe. He is his own being and not to be a slave to our beliefs.
In the Bible Jesus never said worship me. He said only through me you can go to the Father because at that time who else was speaking of only truth? no one. That is also why he said let the dead bury their own dead to the man with a dead father. If the man left Jesus to attend his father he too would become spiritually dead because at that time Jesus was the only bearer of truth.
When some people/disciples worshiped Jesus in a few texts in the new testament, the word "worship" had lost its original meaning through the translation of languages. The word worship in the Bible means to kneel before and also to a sacred service. In these cases where Jesus was worshiped in the new testament it was meant he was payed respect. One example is in Matthew 2:2
I encourage everyone to research this, and believe in what you believe not because your parents believe it and the parents before them believed it as well. Test what is taught an look for truth. I used to worship Jesus, but now I worship God alone.
Arkana. I'm not sure what exactly your point is but I've had personal contact with Aaron a number of times and it is clear through his speech that he believes Jesus was/is the litreral son of the only God and that he brought salvation to us by his sacrifice on the cross. However, I heard Aaron say to someone else "Jesus said 'no one comes to the father but through me' but he never said 'no one comes to the father but through Christianity'" so I definitely think you're onto something with your implication that Aaron is not exclusively "Christian"...

Probably, as L.C. Marston noted above, Aaron is striving to be much more like lthe early desert fathers. And as we all probably know and have mentioned, early Christianity and spirituality in the East included a vast array of ideas and conceptions that we really don't have in the modern American church. And that's a loss. Speaking of that, I have been saying how I think mwY will probably break up soon, etc. and my wife said that a friend of her's told her tonight that his friend who is quite close with mwY was saying that Aaron might actually be joining a monastery for a few years. However, this is completely hearsay. Still, it would certainly make sense with the direction that he and the band have been doing, lyricall and musically.

The word "God" means the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Friend, you can't worship "God" without worshiping Christ.

The Man Jesus Christ is an EXPRESSION of GOD. We're to worship Christ as we worship the Father because they are two individuals of One, the Trinity.

If we don't then we're denying that Christ is the son of God. And salvation only comes from confessing that Christ IS God. (Romans 10:9) Jesus is LORD Jesus is GOD just as The Father is LORD and The Father is GOD...

Christ is God, in a physical body, as an expression of love.
From Aaron's lyrics - I truly believe he claims Christ as LORD, MESSIAH, GOD in the flesh, and the ONLY WAY.

From what I've gathered, the ONLY thing that separates TRUTH from all else is the question 'Who is Jesus, Yeshua, the son of Mary and Joseph.' Mormon's will point you to the brother of Lucifer and one of many gods. Jehovah's Witnesses will tell you he is Michael, the archangel. Islam will tell you he was a prophet and great man, but God does not beget. Jews will bitterly admit that yes, he was a wise man, but no, he wasn't the Messiah, Emmanual, 'God with Us' that they are still eagerly awaiting, as it has been prophecied by Isaiah.
Christ on many occasions referred to himself as the Messiah. The people of the time KNEW what that meant. In John 8:58 Jesus went so far as to use the very words by which God revealed Himself to Moses from the burning bush (Exod. 3:14), calling himself I AM, the name of God which was later translated to LORD, YHWH, etc. To the Jews this was the epitome of blasphemy. They knew that Jesus was clearly claiming to be God. On yet another occasion, Jesus explicitly told the Jews: “‘I and the Father are one.’ Again the Jews picked up stones to stone him, but Jesus said to them, ‘I have shown you many great miracles from the Father. For which of these do you stone me?’ ‘We are not stoning you for any of these,’ replied the Jews, ‘but for blasphemy, because you, a mere man, claim to be God.’” (John 10:30—33)
Finally, Jesus claimed to possess the very attributes of God. For example, He claimed omniscience by telling Peter, “This very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times” (Matt. 26:34); declared omnipotence by not only resurrecting Lazarus (John 11:43) but by raising Himself from the dead (John 2:19); and professed omnipresence by promising that He would be with His disciples “to the very end of the age” (Matt. 28:20). Not only so, but Jesus said to the paralytic in Luke 5:20, “Friend, your sins are forgiven.” In doing so, He claimed a prerogative reserved for God alone. In addition, when Thomas worshiped Jesus saying “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:28)
lives up to the bar set by pt. one. the end is really Psalters-esque. and I love it.
Of course it's Psalters-eque. that's captain napkins himself. also, he sings in The Angel of Death Came to David's Room, and one other one that i can't remember now. i am going to guess you already knew this, because it would be difficult to notice that it sounded psaltery without noticing that it was captain napkins. but, oh well.

this is about the Christian Vegetable Police.

i really like the end of this song. the whole idea of reaping what one sows, and tying that into forgiveness... "so why not forgive everyone, everywhere, everything, all the time..."
aaron seems to be saying that if you forgive people, you will also be rewarded with forgiveness. and this is in line with the Lord's prayer - "and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us."
I don't think that's similar at all. One of the reasons Jesus was crucified was because He used the phrase "I am". In Hebrew, that translates to Yahweh which is, of course, the name of God. Neither Mary nor Paul nor any other contemporary of Jesus claimed to be such. Whether you believe that Jesus was the Son of God or not, He certainly claimed to be.
