Method of Madness:
Bah, fixed, I meant to say instead of a verb. Move along here. I didn't even realize I had said noun until I saw your post. So...yeah.

pwhodges:
"Christ is risen", as opposed to "Christ has risen".  But the point is to place it in the actual present rather than an indefinite past.

Method of Madness:
I guess, but they say it on Easter, which is supposedly the anniversary of such rising. If it's a present thing, wouldn't it always be true?

Barmymoo:
Yes, it is always true - hence the present tense. Easter commemorates it, it doesn't just happen again each year like some kind of weird groundhog day.

94ssd:
At my family's church they often sing a hymn that says "Christ has died, Christ hasrisen, Christ will come again" to end service. But then sometimes (especially on Easter) the priest will say "Christ is risen" and everyone replies "he is risen, indeed."

Anyway, onto my random thought. I spent yesterday installing useful apps on my new phone. A flashlight app (I had to go through several), Flipboard (by far the best news app I found), a really cool volume control app. While using the Google Play store website on my computer (a lot faster than using my phone to search for apps, and I usually get better results) I discovered that you can ring, locate, lock, and wipe your device through something called the Google device manager.

I had installed a very space-consuming app called Lookout for that purpose. And in fact have installed it on the other two smartphones I've owned as well. I even wrote a glowing review of it because of an incident a couple years ago where I left my phone at a restaurant and was able to use the app to make sure it was safe and hadn't been taken. My mother finally got a smartphone recently and I told her she should install it as well. Now I feel stupid.
