Cedarmont Kids - Rise & Shine (Arky,Arky)

[solobelle0433]

What a cute video :-)

[Plarzmo]

I'm not a huge religious person... I listened to this song when I was very young over and over and over. It did not 'brain wash' me. All I can remember is feeling happy while listening to it. I think we are all over-thinking this a bit.

[josephinejojo67]

i just cant get thetune out of my head i love this song

[Lallanananaaaa]

Wow... these children have been brainwashed.

Wonder how many of them turned to hard drugs when they realised they'd just been fed lies as children?

[JennMystic]

lol this song always makes me think of the Flander's Kids xD

[MsCatlover1994]

These kids are just aming! They are wonderful singers and I don't think it's possible to dislike them. I can't say enough good things about these special children.

[JamieBugajski]

add "ie" to anything and it rhymes. yep.

[coolspindrift]

Everythang is juss soo golly-gosh dern a-w-e-s-u-mmmmm!!

[thirtysilver]

I'm pretty appalled by the silly, fun way these children about singing about mass death on a global scale. In this story, which many believe is literally true, god deliberately commits genocide, drowning men, women, children, and animals to perpetrate a massacre that tops anything Hitler, bin Laden, or Hussein ever did. It's a horrific story of violent revenge from a psychotic deity, and these children have been taught to sing happily about it.

[choirboy1122]

@thirtysilver The Lord MY God flooded the world because sin had run rampant and He had no other choice. He saved the righteous, the ones who still obeyed Him and the commandments He gave for them to follow. This is also where the significance of the rainbow comes in. After the Flood, God promised the world that He would NEVER flood the Earth on a scale like that. Genesis 8:21 it is right there for you to look up. That was His promise. Genesis 7:1 is the beginning of the story of the Flood.

[thirtysilver]

@choirboy1122 "He had no other choice." Isn't your god supposed to be omnipotent? How can he have no other choice if he can do anything? Aren't all options - all choices - open to him at all times? I'm sorry, but this is a story in which this god commits genocide. The fact that he promised never to do it again means nothing. There is no moral justification for genocide.

[chritstiangirl123]

[mikamikamika]

Mixing up the verses at summer camp was fun as a camper AND a counselors :D

[bluewingteal7]

Most of us could use a good brain washing.

[EgaoNoGenki]

@bluewingteal7 Heart-softening, you mean.

[velociraptorgum]

This song seemed nice when I was a kid, but what the story was actually about went over my head. I'm not going to pretend that I know much about the bible, but it sounds like god killed a planet full of people. I really want to be a good christian, but I'm not going to worship a god that kills that many people, that to me just isn't a loving god. Can someone please help me with my spiritual crisis

[JoshezDodge]

@velociraptorgum HE did this because, if you read Genesis chapter 6; Especially 6:5, the world was all wicked. people were really really evil. The flood was to start a new slate.

[velociraptorgum]

@JoshezDodge It still just doesn't sound right to me. I hope I'm wrong, but I assume those people went to hell which is a place of eternal suffering no matter what they did I don't believe they should suffer eternally I don't think anyone deserves that which makes me wonder why god would invent something like hell

[CMWaller92]

@velociraptorgum

One thing you should know is that the idea of an eternal Hell is not Biblical. The wages of sin is death, not eternal life in Hell. I know most churches teach that Hell will last forever, but there are many Bible verses that show this is not correct. A loving God would never torture His children forever.

It's hard to understand God destroying people in the flood, but I think as some people have said, when there's so much sin,God had to step in order to save his people.

[velociraptorgum]

@CMWaller92 that's given me a new way to look at it thank you :)

[streetcornerprophet]

@CMWaller92

Every greek word in the N.T. that refers to eternity has eternal connotations to it. Jesus Himself--and we are talking about the God who created the universe said that that state was never ending. When Jesus refered to Judas Iscariot He said "it would have been better for him to never have been born." This is the only place of non-existance where the fate of an individal is discussed and it had to do with pre-life-not eternity. It is clear--DOOM IS HORRIBLE BUT AVOIDABLE...

[CMWaller92]

@streetcornerprophet

What about Malachi 4:1 that talks about the wicked being stubble? It's true that the Bible often uses the words everlasting in reference to punishment, but when you look at the whole Bible, this doesn't fit so well. Death is death, not everlasting life. I see the everlasting refering to the consequences of sin. The death will be eternal, but it won't last forever. Otherwise there would always be sin in a sinless universe.

[JoshezDodge]

@velociraptorgum People were true evil and there was NO good in them and not changing your way or listening to God I believe deserves that. Being evil all the time deserves this.

[prophic36]

@velociraptorgum

God is the only one that can create , so when God kills as it is stated he had to do it for the betterment of all else to see, and make it new , it was not Gods fault the world was so bad , satan currupted it all , so God had to make it anew

[SuperDrSmart]

@velociraptorgum yes, I simply don't believe the bad stuff in the Bible. I mean a loving God wouldn't order the Genocide of the Amalek people for example. Send me a message, I would be glad to discuss my views with someone.

[MrJmartin05]

@SuperDrSmart Taken out of context, we would also conclude that a doctor who chops off the arm of his patient can't possibly be a good doctor. But sometimes it's the least worst of options. That's what I have concluded about these events. They were the least of the bad options. God doesn't take pleasure in the destruction of anyone; and it's always a last resort. But in a few situations, He had no choice.

[SuperDrSmart]

@MrJmartin05 I have now shed my christianity and I have become a Deist. It is a much better belief in God.

Fortunately the christian god is not real.

[singlelifew2girls]

@SuperDrSmart It wasn't God who did the abandoned it was MAN. God is Real and that's why you Exist :)

[SuperDrSmart]

@singlelifew2girls Like I said before, I don't believe in the Christian god. I believe in a Deistic God.

[thirtysilver]

@MrJmartin05 I refuse to believe that a planet-wide massacre was the least bad option. What would you consider a worse one? Also, I reiterate: an omnipotent god cannot be limited. Why couldn't he have done anything else? He's supposed to have created the entire universe from sheer will, right? Why did his power fail him here?

[singlelifew2girls]

@thirtysilver God brought you in this World and He will Take You Out! I'm glad I'm on his Side :)

[thirtysilver]

@singlelifew2girls I would say that making threats isn't very godly, but it's actually about as godly as you can get. "Worship me or suffer" is not the command of a benevolent ruler. Compulsory love is a disgusting idea. It's a shame that, even with the very perpetrator of the mass murder under discussion on your side, you didn't attempt to answer any of my questions. Here's yet another: do you think causing the deaths of unborn children is moral? God did it with the flood. Think about it.

[singlelifew2girls]

@thirtysilver God made Man 2 Worship him, if u choose Not to there is a Penalty. Look at it this way, If u Created something 2 do a task such as a computer program & it works well at first, but 4 some unknown reason it as a melt down. So, u as the Creator is Not Satisfied w/the Melt Down & Close it Out & Starts Over Again. This is what God did w/the Flood. If u do ur Own Thing then n the End u will Face ur Own Destruction! It's Not God's Fault if u decided 2 Leave Out on ur Own & Do ur Own Thing

[thirtysilver]

@singlelifew2girls I'd take my computer to be repaired if I needed to. I wouldn't obliterate it. I wouldn't send it to a place in which it would be obliterated continually for eternity. The means of humans to fix problems are limited. Those of an omnipotent god aren't. He always had the option of not destroying the world, yet he chose destruction. Such a violent god unworthy of worship. The morality of creating thinking creatures and demanding that they worship you is questionable.

[singlelifew2girls]

@thirtysilver ok, the Air you breathe is made by GOD, the Earth you walk on is made by GOD, everything on Earth was MADE by GOD. If you don't like his choices in this Life that's ok because he gave you a CHOICE. So, don't complain when you aren't allow to his home in HEAVEN. You made your CHOICE! btw, I wasn't talking about the computer malfunctioning it was a Program :) even if it was the Computer you said you would repair it? God did with the FLOOD :) BAD Programs or Computers :)

[thirtysilver]

@singlelifew2girls You admit that you see some moral justification for genocide. Clearly, no rational discussion shall be possible from this point. Anyone who would describe worldwide massacre as a just act must be removed from our discourse about morality - and quickly. My only consolation is that you have nothing with which to threaten me; and my hope is that people like you cease utterly to have any kind of influence on the continuing development of our country and our world.

[singlelifew2girls]

@thirtysilver In the first place nothing I said was a Threat :) People like you come and go :) I live knowing I do have something to look forward to in Death and that is being with my Savior Jesus Christ  for Eternality. You have nothing beyond this point in Life and you will have Nothing without Jesus Christ. The Lord has given a Warning of what you will Face if you don't Obey :)

[SodabottleSplat]

@singlelifew2girls I don't believe in god or in satan, or any other tenet of Judea-christian faith systems, but I figure of god's gonna make thinking, free-willed beings, let them suffer through a sometimes unhappy life, and then punish them with eternal damnation if they don't worship him and devote their lives to him and his rules... that's no loving god. That's one messed up, sadistic bastard. I'd take my chances with satan--at least he's up front about being a jerk.

[singlelifew2girls]

@SodabottleSplat you double talk yourself in one statement you said you dont believe in satan and in another breath you said you will take your chances with him? lol Satan is the Author of LIES. God hasn't hidden the Truth about where a soul will end up at if he choose his path to go in that direction

[SodabottleSplat]

@singlelifew2girls I'm saying if I had to choose between one or the other... Maybe you don't believe in say, dragons and unicorns, but that doesn't mean you can't decide which you'd rather deal with if you had to pick. I just don't get why people "worship" a god with so many rules and so many harsh punishments for breaking them--why not just make us all unthinking clones? It's like building an ant farm, just to sit out all day frying them with a magnifying glass. Sad.

[singlelifew2girls]

@SodabottleSplat I understand how you feel but on the other hand I understand now how God feels about the rules he sets. It is for our protection just like being a parent we try to Warn our children of the dangers but yet we still have to Let them Go & make their own decisions. This is actually what our Heavenly Father has done he set the rules & allows you to make your choice. If you pick the wrong one it will cost you much suffering for eternity. So, when you say it's SAD...yes it is :(

[SodabottleSplat]

@singlelifew2girls But parents aren't usually the ones to punish their children, are they? Real loving parents know that kids make mistakes--and accept and love them for it. They don't banish them to an eternity of suffering. If god is as all-powerful as he supposedly is, and he really loved his "children", he'd accept them, errors and all. The rules of the bible would condemn an awful lot of perfectly good, caring, charitable human beings to hell for very silly reasons.

[singlelifew2girls]

@SodabottleSplat If parents aren't the ones who punish their children then how do they learn? I punished mine :) You said the bible rules would condemn alot of good, caring, charitable human beings? According to who's standards? yours? God's standards are higher than man's obviously. If Man's standards were like unto God's there would be no crimes :) These people who are good, caring, charitable could also be hiding an ugly lifestyle of rape, murder, abuse, & etc. No one is Perfect!

[singlelifew2girls]

@SodabottleSplat and this is why we need the Lord. People go to Hell by their own Choice not God's. If you would just take the time to know him you would see how much he loves YOU :) Once you are saved and repented of your sins it becomes a Relationship if you really surrender your Heart to him :) It's a peace of mind knowing I have nothing to worry about for my God is with me til the End :) Total Joy unspeakable and full of Glory :)

[tb1985uk]

Brainwashing

[waremi51]

@tb1985uk It's funny how raising your children as Christians is brainwashing, but raising your kids as atheists is "smart" and raising your kids as some Eastern religion is "philosophical" or "embracing diversity."

[tb1985uk]

@waremi51 I don't recall making any of those observations, I merely called this video brainwashing, which it is.

[rockandrollguy87]

i love this song but try 2 sing it whille keeping a stright face

[coolspindrift]

[hjzarsuelo]

[abysmalatrocious]

@hjzarsuelo I have a CASETTE TAPE from 1996 that we played for the kids at the swimming pool! I loved Bingo and Smile on this tape.

[sjharpenau]

I love this song! my mom sang it to me every morning growing up:)

I despised it then but brings back great memories now!

[abysmalatrocious]

@sjharpenau It's very fitting during the warmer seasons, when the sun IS shining in the morning!

[ArkyandTarky]

nothing against christians but... WTF?

[onehundreddollars]

I feel bad for anyone who actually believes this.

[GirlforGod99]

@onehundreddollars I feel bad that God has not yet chosen to relieve you of your stupidy.

[HotShotRuksy]

@onehundreddollars it's all real

[Gbugman]

@onehundreddollars why look this song up and write something stupid when you could of not waisted your tome and done something else.

[onehundreddollars]

@Gbugman I wanted to sample it for something. Also, don't talk about me writing "something stupid" when you can't even differentiate between "waste" and "waist"

[EgaoNoGenki]

It jerks tears of joy! :*D

[trance2307]

Simpsons :)

[reylibwizan]

man did u really get those hogs

[EgaoNoGenki]

Somehow, this song has the magic quality of undoing the darkening effects of this dark-aura-filled rap instrumental: (found by searching the following term "Los Angeles - Bloods & Crips" on YT.)

[EgaoNoGenki]

I love hearing xylophones! Somehow they make me feel younger again.

[mizzmeliz]

it is funny
