T.Rex: "Metal Guru"

This was the follow-up to "Bang a Gong," both songs being released in 1972. This song wasn't as big a hit but people in North America still liked it. Of course fans in the UK loved Marc Bolin's sound and poetic lyrics. He also launched the Glam Rock style of popular music in the early seventies.

Listen to this song here:

One BBC announcer once asked what a metal guru was. To me, it's a computer. I certainly rely on it for research and advice on many matters.

But just as we can't rely on every bit of information people put on the Internet, so we must discern which doctrines we hear are correct and which are satanic lies. Many preachers today claim to be prophets with divine revelations. But Deuteronomy 18:22 (Bible in Basic English) makes it clear regarding these false folks. "When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him."

But what if the false prophet is right about a prediction? Deuteronomy 13:1-3(BBE) holds the answer. "If ever you have among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder, And the sign or the wonder takes place, and he says to you, 'Let us go after other gods,' which are strange to you, and give them worship; Then give no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God is testing you, to see if all the love of your heart and soul is given to him."

Therefore, we must know our scriptures and what they say so we won't be misled. As Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 2:15 (BBE), "Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way."

If the Lord hasn't returned by Saturday, I have a post about spiritual maturity and the lack of it in North America.
