Upright?

[Woody]

Are there any upright left left or R only the right right and upright?

[there buster]

I know where there's an upright piano.

[Dr. Shane]

I need an upright piano too because I don't have room in the house for a baby grand.

[John317]

What is "upright"? I assume you are using the term as the Bible uses it. As the following verses show, it doesn't mean "sinless" or absolutely perfect. It has more to do with loyalty and faithfulness to God. It is often used in contrast to evil-doers. Just who these people are, or whether there are such people on earth today, God alone knows, and the second coming will reveal it. I don't think it's the responsibility of people to point out who the upright are or to claim they themselves are among the upright.

Psalm 25:8

Good and upright is the Lord;

therefore he instructs sinners in the way.

Psalm 49:14

Like sheep they are appointed for Sheol;

Death shall be their shepherd,

and the upright shall rule over them in the morning.

Their form shall be consumed in Sheol, with no place to dwell.

Psalm 112:2

His offspring will be mighty in the land;

the generation of the upright will be blessed.

Proverbs 10:29

The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless[upright],

but destruction to evildoers.

Proverbs 11:3

The integrity of the upright guides them,

but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them.

Proverbs 15:8

The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord,

but the prayer of the upright is acceptable to him.

Proverbs 15:19

The way of a sluggard is like a hedge of thorns,

but the path of the upright is a level highway.

Micah 7:2

The godly has perished from the earth,

and there is no one upright among mankind;

they all lie in wait for blood,

and each hunts the other with a net.

Habakkuk 2:4

"Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,

but the righteous shall live by his faith.

Is this a political topic a musical topic or a religious one?

[John317]

Good question. What did you have in mind when you started it?

I'll delete my post if it's off topic.

[Woody]

I'm not sure ... but I think the word potpourri fits this thread's intentions. So, as you were. Make it what you want. IOWs take a pick. To each his or her own.

[Bravus]

Is this a political topic a musical topic or a religious one?

Or, erm, an EDucational one...

[GreatLakesGramma]

I have an upright piano. I inherited it from my father in law. It's a much nicer piano than my spinet was.

[Woody]

The older pianos have a much richer sound. Upright or non-upright.

We have both an upright and a canister in our home. One sucks more than the other.

[Woody]

Which one sucks the most?

[GreatLakesGramma]

My upright is actually newer than my spinet was, but it's a Yamaha, and the spinet was a Leonard, an inexpensive student line by Grinnell.

[cricket]

The canister. It's newer, pricier and a great inconvenience to use; but it sure gets the dirt out!

[Overaged]

I am sometimes "uptight" but I don't know nothing about "upright."

[Woody]

I have two also. I've not analyzed their sucking abilities. But they both suck.
