Old word for telephone - several houses used to share a party line, the 'mainline' I believe was the common telephone line between them. Think of Jesus as the 'operator' facilitating the connection, as in old shows like Green Acres.A bit like Facebook and Twitter nowadays...
Jesus won't igg you, blow up his line any time...
Jesus won't 'defriend' you.....
GE Patterson, on his CD explained it slightly different. He said that Jesus being on the mainline would mean that there were no other parties on your line and that you had a direct connection to Jesus.This is all obviously before my time, so idk...
hmm ... oh well it was before my time just one of those anachronistic phrases.
kind of like, "Hold my mule"...
hmm okay ....so if i wanted to sing the song so kids would understand it I could sayJesus is on Google tell him what you want?orJesus is on Facebook tell him what you want?or Jesus gets text messages tell him what you want?
what is the mainline?Never directly used one personally
