Some Silly Theology Songs...

A couple people asked, so here are a couple songs that were written during SYS II last spring.

BARTH BARTH BABY (to Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby")

Yo Theology, Let’s kick it

Barth, Barth Baby,
Karl Barth, Barth Baby

All right stop, books down and listen
Barth is back and here is my position

Something grabs a hold of me tightly
Jesus is the center of theology rightly

Natural Theology, I say NO
Only through Christ can God we know
Come to know Christ and the 3 fold form of the Word
Learn about God , God’s love is absurd.

Sin, is the unreal reality
nothingness, ontological impossibility
Creation, Mozart's musicality
There is shadow and light in tonality
Jesus, Jesus Christ is the true man
Judge judged in our place was the real plan
Any doctrine of theology, go take a look
In church dogmatics and my many books.

I AM THE VERY MODEL OF A STUDENT OF THEOLOGY
(I am the Very Model of a Modern Major General - Gilbert and Sullivan)

I am the very model of a student of theology
Reading all the time and working on doxology
Schleiermacher writes that we are utterly dependant
And when we’re in God consciousness the world is quite resplendent

Evans speaks of sin as the believer dislocation
He holds that context is the key of all explanations
Christ is the great physician and diseased with sin is our state
Wesley’s heart was warmed in May at Aldersgate

Barth says that sin’s impossible , Christ is judged in our place
He is the revelation and salvation of the human race
Then there is Jones and Lakeland that is the book that’s really new
Theologians from all over our Dave and Cindy too.

Early Church Council Song (Tune of Gilligan's Island)

The Council of Nicaea was held in 325
It was called by Constantine since Arius’s view didn’t jive
Arius said Christ isn’t God, the council said you’re wrong
Homoousious is the way to go, your view does not belong.

Then it’s in Constantinople in 381
Apollinaris is the next to go, his view to be undone
The council was convened by Theodosius the first
Apollinaris said Christ’s not human, this view was dispersed.

The 3rd council in 431 was at Ephesus
Christ is 2 separate people was claimed by Nestorius
This was the first of the councils called by Theodosius number 2
The robber council of 449 was Ephesus II

451 at Chalcedon was the last of councils called
for declaring Christ is 1 nature, Eutyches in was hauled
Pulcheria and Marcian affirmed Leo’s tome
Constantinople though 2nd is equal in honor to Rome.

These are the imperial councils of the early church
Through them orthodoxy was defined as for Christ they did search
The councils were designed to refute all opposition
That is why now we have the Chalcedonian Definition.
