[SIRONEDRAGON]

Awesome song :)

[26mollyroxy]

It's apparent that the singer has committed the sin of gluttony.

[brower15]

I got here from reading the book 90 Minutes in Heaven. About a guy who got hit by a semi and died went to heaven. He came back to life when a preacher prayed for him even though he was dead. After his surgeries, he got depression and to get over his he depression he listened to this song and "We Are the Reason." Its all really good book.

[BrandonBlaze904]

Imperialsmusic thought it was from elder scrolls.

Praise the lord.

[mexiterranean]

I confess I was not a believer..I search for many years for the truth..Through books, seminars, other beliefs and philosophies and my life continued to be full of emptiness. After being in near dead experiences still did not believe. Now I can say to those who did not believe like I was to open your minds and explore before is to late. I am a living experience that Jesus is the way and the life. The way I see you I was (Non believer) And if you are lucky they way you see me you will be.

[Dubstepsanta1]

@mrscewood I have a question for all christians out there, see i've been thinking.. Why is it that if you dont praise the lord and become baptised and so on, you will burn in hell for an eternety. What about the infants who die from some illness or people who never hear about christianity? Why does god make it so that they too burn in hell, they have no idea that ''god'' even exist. Im a christain, but im beginning to doubt gods word, please help me figure this out.

[bsutherland64]

@Dubstepsanta1 : First of all I applaud your decision to accept Christ. Now to try to answer your questions. 1. Infants, newborns, children, until they reach the age of accountability, go to heaven if they are taken from this world. 2. Persons who have had NO opportunity to hear the gospel of Christ, will be not held accountable as those who have had the opportunity and reject it. I do not have a clear cut answer, but I do hope that this puts you on a path to greater clarity and understanding.

[Dubstepsanta1]

@bsutherland64 Im not really a christian, sorry, i just wanted a clear answer like the one you just gave me, everytime I have written something directly negative I have gotten an offensive answer.

[PanteraRulesNig]

@bsutherland64 i think everyone should grow up before being brainwashed by this bullshit.

[destiny82able]

@Dubstepsanta1 GOD DOES EXSIST ASK HIM TO PROVE HIMSELF TO YOU. HE PROVED HIMSELF TO ME.READ LUKE17:5-6 EPHESIANS 1:7 IT WILL REVEAL SOME OF THE GOODNESS OF GOD. GOD IS A GOD OF ORDER. HE WILL NOT CONFUSE YOU HE WILL ALWAYS REVEAL HIMSELF TO. ACCORDING TO HIS WORD IT SATES WE HAVE NOT BECAUSE WE ASK NOT. BURNING IN HELL IS JUST SIMPLY REJECTING GOD FOR WHO HE IS. JUST REMEBER GOD LOVES US.I PRAY THAT GOD GIVES YOU A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF WHO HE IS SO ASK IT WILL BE THE BEST THING U DID.

[Dubstepsanta1]

@destiny82able OKAY THANK YOU. I AM AN ATHEIST

Fuck religion. Dumbasses believe in fairy tales.

@NeonGreon You may not be a believer, but you don't have to be rude.

[BarbiLaFountain]

Thank you for putting this video on youtube! I needed to hear it right now! It's just so sad that Christian music is so hard to find and that it doesn't get NEARLY the "views" or comments that it should! I did subscribe! :) God Bless You!

[yvonne1202]

Such a beautiful song...

[sweetsweatyfeet]

Christianity is evil. It's my fondest hope to see this fraudulent belief system wiped off the face of the earth.

[armyguy1893]

@sweetsweatyfeet Jesus still loves you.

[YourQualityIsPoor]

@sweetsweatyfeet

I'm sorry that man has most likely ruined what perception you had of Christ, the King. What is on your mind? Pastors taking too much money in greed or the Crusades of Old? I'm only going by the documentaries I've seen supporting unbelievers. But always remember, friend.. that it was man who is unkind. Who twists things to suit themselves. Not God. Man may invoke the name of God like a tool to fulfill his selfish desire, which is not so different in today's leaders.

[sweetsweatyfeet]

@YourQualityIsPoor Man is not evil---the Christian belief system is evil, The bible is a cesspool of ludicrous claims that defy science and reason. It demands nothing less than slavish, gullible, unquestioning abject submission and obedience to absolute authoritarianism and dictatorship. But most of all, it's "morality" is barbaric and the "god" depicted within (especially the OT) is a sadistic, genocidal, psychopath.

Christianity (along with Islam) are a blight on human civilization.

[YourQualityIsPoor]

@sweetsweatyfeet

Science, by default defies reason in many cases as well, though. Explosions that came from nothing to generate a series of random and perfect events that eventually set about the creation of our solar system?

The point you bring up about God in the old testament is interesting. I believe it reflects on God before his son came and took the form of a human being. Thusly, I feel there was not as close a connection between man and God. Also, life back then was chaotic

[YourQualityIsPoor]

@sweetsweatyfeet

without a modern law enforcement system, essentially you had things going unpunished. People doing as they wished with zero fear of being caught. The young would grow as perfect immoral clones. The culture in the middle east is pretty bad. You can blame religion, or you can blame dumb men who believe killing in the name of God is right.

 I'll always believe the latter. You eradicate Islam, someone else will just claim "God told me to"

And sorry for being a blight, lol.

[sweetsweatyfeet]

@YourQualityIs I don't consider Christians a blight, I am not cold hearted. I speak only of the Christian belief system. I have much respect for mankind at his best while Christianity teaches the human species is depraved, wretched, immoral, wicked. That we are innately guilty for being less than perfect---for not attaining a standard it defines as impossible for us to attain. It does this while completely disregarding the good in man. You could not invent a more, anti-human system of beliefs.

[YourQualityIsPoor]

@sweetsweatyfeet

Well, I'm not sure about completely disregarding good in men. I don't expect much to be written though, in terms of speaking of men doing great things. Unless it involves God in a shape or form, it likely won't be recorded in a religious text. And yes, that standard is pretty brutal. Impossible to attain, I would agree with that also. Satan could be blamed for that, though. For creating original sin. We're only free in death from this..

[YourQualityIsPoor]

@sweetsweatyfeet You're a really nice person, I appreciate this conversation with you. Though it may mean little to you - God Bless anyway. Hope your early week is awesome! If you're a hockey fan there's a lot of exciting games to look forward to. Or NBA, I guess lol. Either way, thanks for not being a jerk. Have a good one, my friend.

[ilovechairmanmeow]

praise the lord

[ApLuciana]

Lindo Louvor!!!!!!!! Vou procurar em português.

É bom saber que em todo canto do mundo ainda tem grandes adoradores e seguidores de Jesus.

[gayisrave]

i know nobody see's threw my eye's or has the same beliefs as me, but i honestly don't understand why people worship jesus? is there any proof he exist's? NO! all jesus is, is a metaphor.... and when you die you'll go to heaven? that is complete bullshit i have no theory to what will happen when we die but i do know 2 things and that is that there is no god, and no heaven, and why do people thank god when they achieve something? why don't they take all the credit for what they've achieved?

[seekerme7]

How so true, you must believe for you to experience the power of God that is in you if you open your heart. No circumstances, time and place would ever stop the presence of God if you dwelt in Him...

[richardclairvaux]

My friend Don Anderson first introduced me to the Imperials when I was in high school in 1971 I miss Don and still enjoy the Imperials Rick leftbank_paris@yahoo.com

WOW..I didn't know the Imperials were at Christ Temple Church, I would have went...lol.

@TheHOBBSETTE yeah what could he possibly do?

[Jaderedman]

Beautiful!! Thank you for posting this incredible message set to music!!

[TheJake3]

God bless Cannibal Corpse.....and everything that is METAL!!!!!!!

[thornellwilliams]

Perhaps my favorite song... and well done.

[socksumi]

Christianity: the desire to fanatically revere / hero worship a mythical fraudulent authority figure while promoting the hatred of self and species. You could not invent a more anti-life system of beliefs.

[chrstpd4]

This takes my breath away... <3

[Amazingvid101]

Great song. I love it

[INightFireZI]

@dethklokfanforlife lol..

[mralanlagasca]

the most beautiful and touching song ive ever heard,,praise the lord!!!!

[nocatif]

This moves me and opens my heart to the healing of the holy spirit and at this time in my life I truly need to have this!

[AlLeBlanc90]

Stupid people are stupid.

[bsutherland64]

If there was ever a video that says what is in my heart, this is it. Sometimes it seems that the odds are so overwhelmingly against you, but we must never forget that Jesus has already won the battle for us. It's the being human part , and learning how to be patient and wait upon the Lord that makes it so hard. I thank God every day that I have Him, and that I know he loves me above any THING on this earth.

[barbiee1958]

lmaoo mehh nd mehh qhetto bitchess off friends made this uhp(:

I could care less what all the naysayers say about this song or the it is sung. All that matters to me is that MY GOD ministers to me through this ANOINTED song!

[XxsoulsuckerxX]

hahahaha how can you retards take this shit seriously ?? you'd have to have a head injury to sincerely like this crappy music. i have to admit though it makes good comedy entertaiment.

anyhoo, it seems your imaginary god is way more worried about getting you all down on your knees to stroke his "ego" then he is about stopping the suffering of hundreds of thousands of children in third world countries. maybe if they gave him a hummer he'd save them huh ? christianity=ego worship and selfishness

[PlagueOnHumanity]

How awful.

SATAN \m/

[myangelinheaven2]

@PlagueOnHumanity I will pray for you with all my heart! God Bless you and He loves you anyway!

[Tornadodance1]

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

[pastortimk]

I just pray that everytime someone has a negative comment on christian songs or God, hears the message that is being delivered in these songs. They are apparently searching for something to fill the emptiness they feel.

[usmjam]

Aye, just because someone expresses unbelief their comment should not get a negative rating. Its an opportunity to at least try and explain the Gospel.

[Japen1s]

@pastortimk

that is a very good point my brother =)

[1standupforchrist]

@pastortimk we should just continue to praise the lord and to treat everyone with LOVE. PRAISE THE LORD!

[rustaayy]

I disagree with your premise that god even exists. Your entire ideology is based on complete absurdity. Riddled with logical fallacies, christianity has failed humanity. I encourage you to review your life and please stop spreading your ridiculous propaganda. Jesus is a hoax.

[Valerian1]

I'm a Biblical Literalist, which is why I've sold all my possessions, and distributed all of my money to the poor (I'm on a public computer). As you know, this is what Jesus said was needed to have eternal life. If you own any property, you are not a follower of Jesus Christ. (Matthew 19:17-26) I've also renounced war and become a pacifist, since, as you know, Jesus allowed himself to be crucified rather than resist violence, and this is what it means to take up the cross. (Matthew 5:38-48)

[DaveTheyCallme]

@Valerian1

Jesus' teaching on this was not to make possessions our Idol ; there were many followers of Christ in his day (and now) that own property and have eternal life based solely on what Christ accomplished on Calvary. We have to be careful we dont everything literally that Christ taught when it isnt meant literarlly...otherwise we can find ourselves plucking out our eye as he instructed too. Context is everything . And...'taking up our cross' simply means living for Christ.

[cvsportsplayer11]

@pastortimk I'm sorry, but your grammar is just terrible.

[ChannelFamilys]

@pastortimk Ur a crazy brain washed Fuck i will set the bible on fire and piss it out!

[mckinley1175]

@ChannelFamilys Go do what you want but quit trying to get attention let people believe what they want.

[ChannelFamilys]

@mckinley1175 No i think id rather turn people over to Atheism and your reply shows me what a lil bible happy pussy you are..

[mckinley1175]

@ChannelFamilys Ha no I believe in God yeah not a pussy your obviously a idiot trying to fight with people on here so im not going the rounds with you jody boy have a nice day wootay.

[ChannelFamilys]

@mckinley1175 Im the idiot but you belive in god OKAYYYYY!

[mckinley1175]

@ChannelFamilys You really are an idiot didn't try to preach to you get a life dude and I can believe what ever I want to.

[owenmlb123]

@ChannelFamilys i agree with you dude, screw this religious bullshit its all lies, but some people are not even worth trying to convince...

[destiny82able]

I'm so tired of people saying they tired of this and tired of that about religion tell you what its not about the religion it's about GOD!! Why don't you ask GOD to reveal himself to you and he will. Forget everything going on around you and focus on GOD!! See the problem is people are missing GOD because they are to focus on these women and men of GOD or things that they are not suppose to focus on. GOD is real now and forever more.

[Dubstepsanta1]

@destiny82able This comment makes no sense at all. Which god revealed himself to you?''Forget everything thats going on around you and focus on god''. Everything going on around you is all there is, religion is just ignorance and an invention to explain things we cant understand. And people following a religion follows their god. Thats what it means. So asking one to ignore all the things people who are following the word of god do and just focus on god himself just seems like being a hypocrite

[destiny82able]

@Dubstepsanta1 I MAKE PLENTY SENSE. WELL FAR AS RELIGION AND THIER GOD, IF YOU DONT BELIEVE THEN WHO WILL YOU BELIEVE?GOD DID ORDAIN WOMEN AND MEN TO PREACH HIS WORD AND SPREAD THE GOSPEL. NOW IF YOU DONT BELIEVE IN ANY OF THAT OR THE GOD YOU CANT SEE THEN ASK GOD TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO YOU. IT MAY NOT COME THE WAY U MAY LIKE IT TO BE BUT IF U CANT SEE HIM YOU DEFINITELY WILL FEEL HIS LOVE, PRESENCE AND HE SPEAKS AS WELL.READ DEUT 6:5 CHRON 2:15-1 REMEMBER GOD LOVES US ALL ,AS I LOVE U.

[ChannelFamilys]

@pastortimk Oh and btw god dont hear shit!!

[sqekcx]

@pastortimk

fill the emptiness they feel? lol

god fills the emptiness of yours

[volound]

@pastortimk hmm... you make a good point.

no wait, my mistake. thats absolute bullshit.

if someone says that shit stinks, then maybe the shit does stink. sometimes a cigar is really just a cigar.

[Dubstepsanta1]

@volound I see what you did there;) Tim Minchin is awsome. Especially one of his plays called ''storm''.:D

[volound]

@Dubstepsanta1 tim minchin FTW

:D

[dondijerry]

It is unfortunate that people believe that good works, abiding by the law, not cheating on your wife etc. are what it takes to spend eternity in Heaven. Salvation is a free gift from God not by man's works so there would be no bragging rights. God is good he has worked in my life and I love Him so much that I am willing to do anything He calls me to do. Satan is a liar don't listen to him try God you'll like Him.

[LMatters1]

A sickening spectical.

People grovelling to a 'god' in the hope of earning enough 'frequent flyer points' for an eternal life.

Please, have the intestinal fortitude to accept that life is finite.

[starberry84]

We are no grovelling to a god, we are but to God. believers don't earn 'frequent flyer points' Jesus gave them to us when He died on the cross for you and for me. Life is short and eternity is for ever where are you spending yours? if it's a sickening spectical, why are you watching this videos? are you searching?

[Tornadodance1]

I listen to this song as often as possible. This is so very beautiful. Praise the Lord and stay strong. Psalms 34:6

[LMatters1]

starberry84, let me ask you a question. I have been faithfully married for 30 years and have three duaghters. I have always paid my taxes and abided by the law etc, etc. But I am a non-believer when it comes to god. Does the latter point mean I'm going to miss out on the eternity that you allude to? The question is, does this 'god' base his selection for eternity on what the person is or does he base it on 'club membership' (ie my comment on frequent flyer points).

[MineirissimoBH]

Darling,

I know you have wonderful qualities as "pay their taxes to the government" or "respect for people" and also "do good", but this is not enough for you to be a saved person in Jesus. To you have the right to enter heaven, it is necessary that you accept the Lord Jesus Christ as the only and saved enough of his soul!

[LMatters1]

Thanks for that enlightenment. You have proved what I thought is correct. Selection is not based on merit, it's based on 'club membership'.

What a joke! Keep grovelling and earning your frequent flyer points, you chosen people. Got some bad news for you guys though...when you die you'll be going the same place that I'm going.

[rencal45]

It is unfortunate. I believe these guys are talented but the reign of the Imperials is over.

They will never be as good as any of the previous Imperials IMHO

Maybe the lawsuit tainted some of my views but I just dont see them being of the caliber of the Imperials from the 80's

[JohnHansard]

I saw the 80's guys in the late 70's--and they were not the caliber they were later--everyone grows!

[davidslatersongs]

This isn't the true Imperials, right? In looking at this group's nine videos on YT, I see they evidently don't have a band. They're all done karaoke style. What gives?

[MrOldfan1]

@davidslatersongs

What gives?? Time, changes, just the normal things of life.

[ActionWords]

They are good. But nowhere near the originals.

[GospelAccording2ME]

This is the second clip of this song I've watched by these guys. I'm now convinced they are the Imperials. All the hallmarks are there: sweet harmonies, flawless lead vocals. It must be said that Russ kills this song each and every time he opens his big, wide mouth to sing it. He was and is anointed to sing and delivery this song at all times. But, I like this new rendition. It all goes back to their vocals. Very nice. Now, let's hear what they can do with "Forgiven."

[jmparker78]

Sing it, Shannon! You are, and always will be, DA MAN.

Observers, take note: THESE GUYS are the Imperials. Not Joe Moscheo's nostalgia re-grouping, not Armond's "Classic" Imperials. These four men: Jason Morales, Jeremie Hudson, Shannon Smith and Ian Owens, own the rights to the group, and the name.

Jeremie and Shannon have sadly moved on from the group, but the two new guys (can't find a video of them yet) are excellent as well.

[harry4health]

jmparker- on the Armond Classic MOSH group: I don't know the present situation between The Imperials and Armond's 'MOSH' Classic group, but I would encourage all to contact The Imperials for an update. I found it difficult to keep track of things, and I asked both sides a few times. I hope things are on the mends, and I think they were, between the 2 groups last I knew, but not sure.

[jmparker78]

The dispute has been settled and this group remains the official Imperials.

[harry4health]

jmparker- I'm glad it's settled. I thought it was. I just don't know what's up with Armond's 'MOSH' group. I think they have a website like 'legacy' or something. I hope Armond & Jason are reconciled, or on the road to it.

[jmparker78]

They've reconciled, but I think you're confusing the groups. The MOSH group was the name used by the current Imperials during the dispute: the group made up of Morales, Owens, Smith and Hudson. MOSH, get it? It was them vs. Armond.

[harry4health]

jmparker- Yes, I confused the groups by mistake. My brain had a cramp! The MOSH is The Imperials. What is Armond's group going by now?

[jmparker78]

They are the Classic Imperials. Which I think is funny because only two of them were ever official Imperials.

[cheryljane]

Sends CHILLS down my spine - a song straight from the Halls of Heaven!

[yiracholes]

everything that breathes ... praise the Lord!!!

[harry4health]

Great song, but the person singing doesn't have, or at least exercise, the vocal tange of other Imperials singers, like Russ Taff. He also talks instead of sings at the beginning.

[jmparker78]

Okay, you have obviously no idea what you are talking about if you think Shannon Smith doesn't have the vocal range of Russ Taff. Shannon can sing above High C. Russ was lucky to hit High A. Russ had a powerful set of pipes but he tends to shout a lot as he got higher. Shannon is singing, and in full control of his voice. Maybe you like the raw power of Russ's shouts, but it has nothing to do with range. And just how do you call that "talking?" How do people "talk" where you live?

[harry4health]

jmparker- I boo booed. I think I did hear a bit of talk-singing, but others do that live, as well, and I should have taken that into account. Shannon does have a good voice. I did not mean regular talking, and I sometimes have a hard time putting what I mean into words, but Shannon certainly was not talking, but singing. I am sometimes too picky when a song is different live than on the record or CD. Thanks for asking me those questions.

[jmparker78]

I was harsh to you and I apologize for that, but I get a little hot under the collar when I hear somebody puttin' down ol' Shannon, who at this point I believe is the best lead singer the Imps have ever had. His voice is more controlled, I think, and some people really prefer Russ Taff's raw power, but vocal ability, or range, is not the question. So I take back the harshness of my initial response, but not my preference for Shannon Smith.

[harry4health]

jmparker-thanks for apologizing. I prefer Taff, but both are good. I do like the raw power of Taff, but that's how I remember the Imperials, anyway. Taff did, however, have a little 'squeak' to his voice, that Shannon doesn't have. Shannon I think is smoother, but that's from the little I've heard him. Take care.

[jmparker78]

Part of my preference for Shannon may be that I know him. Not well, and we're not close buddies or anything but I have had the pleasure of communicating with him online many times and have found him to be a great christian man. And I gotta respect that voice.

I'm actually the man who wrote the bio that Armond's group is now using on their site. I wrote it as a blog post and the current group used it for a while with my permission.

[jmparker78]

I guess part of Armond's settlement was that he got to use it on his site instead. I don't mind but it kinda sucks that he took my name off of it.

[Equus911]

Settlement? What happened to make Armond leave? This is the first of the "new" Imperials I've ever seen - didn't realize they were still going, albeit with all new faces/voices...

Is there someplace that has the news of the group and what has happened to the original guys?

[jmparker78]

Armond retired from the official group in 2004. He then started his own group, called them "Classic Imperials" and that's what started a little feud, which thankfully is over. As for the "original guys", well, that depends on what you consider the "originals".

[jmparker78]

Jake Hess, Gary McSpadden, Armond Morales, Sherrill Neilsen and Henry Slaughter were the original Imperials. All but Armond left within the first four years. Jim Murray has retired from singing, Terry Blackwood is leading an Elvis-themed Imperials re-grouping of old members with Joe Moscheo and Sherman Andrus, Russ Taff is Solo, and David Will is part of the Classic Imperials with Armond.

[MrOldfan1]

@Equus911

The "Original" group stopped singing together in 1966. Al of them, except Armond, went on to have long careers in other groups and such.

[MrOldfan1]

@jmparker78

He seems to take whatever he wants without asking....

[Bigdogtim7]

This is amazing to here this great music again. I had had their records, and now it is so refreshing to see annointed music from my Dating days.

[arealman314]

My sister died of breast cancer in 2003. Not only was I beleiving God for healing, but I was trusting God for total restoration of body parts lost due to the cancer.She died right before my eyes and God said nothing during that timeframe. My heart was broken in several pieces. My dreams of her rasing her children were shattered. I praised the Lord until God broke the grief and delivered me. God sent comfort when I sent up praise.

[JohnHansard]

arealman314--

I am a funeral director, and a Christian and here this from my families. The one thing that you understood in time is that God's healing sometimes comes in a perfect healing that can only be obtained by the restoration of death.

[arealman314]

Hi John. Thanks. I happen to be in school now. Mortuary Science is my goal. I am getting my pre-requisites now. SO what state are you in?

[JohnHansard]

I am a fully licensed funeral director and embalmer in the state of Texas. And this has all taken on a new meaning to me as my Mom died just a few days ago. I still stand by my thoughts above--death is a perfect healing. God be with you in your studies--it is not an easy profession, but it sure is rewarding.

[JohnHansard]

Real- I am a fully licensed funerla director and embalmer in Texas. I now have another part of my story as my Mom just died, but Is stand by my statements above--death is the perfect healing. Good lukc in your endeavors---it is not easy work, but vry fullfilling!

[nsfrench]

Praise the lord
