John, I love this video a ton. And I know you are busy, but you're overdue for a new video, in which I look forward to each and every week. :D hahaha.
@Gabriel: King James translators justified the creation of their translations by saying, (paraphrase) "the use of many translations is good for the understanding of scripture". So, as John once said, if you're King James only, you love many translations!
I am a student of foreign languages. A perfect translation of such a large, complex manuscript as the Bible is almost impossible. Leaning on the KJ only is just as bad as being Message only. Both are helpful, neither are authoritative.
...the creamy center of Heaven's twinky? I like the sound of that =D
Srsly, though, if you have to try and be more weird, more offensive, more un-religious, you've missed the boat. The Kingdom is weird enough on it's own, the Gospel is offensive enough on it's own, and Jesus is un-religious enough on His own. God doesn't need our help :D
John! Crowder! I love you man, and love you guy's, love Benn, love Santa Cruz with It's glorious surfing waves. Hey, I'm putting up some video's too [youtube], and will continue to do so, If there would ever be some non-goodMessage in there, please do tell me. Shalalaaaaa, miss u guy's.
I love this guys message, it IS the Gospel! But can anyone explain to me the justification of acting out sniffing coke lines on the bible, or pretending to literally drink the Holy Spirit from a cup as if He was alcohol... I get drink on the Spirit, i love it, God allows us to enjoy Him with our emotions... but enjoying Him with the actions and symbols of tools of sin (drugs/alcohol) i have a problem with. Blessed be His Name!
Kids go outside and pretend to kill one another with their hands mimicking guns all of the time. Killing someone intentionally in cold blood is obviously a sin, but are the kids really using symbols of tools of sin?
I think that there is genuinely an innocence in the actions of John, and it is only to reveal how we are suppose to be with God (not necessarily exactly copying him, but childlike and fun!)
i don't think that is a proper analogy to use, though i understand what you're saying.
Lets say i was playing tag with some friend, which were jewish, and i dressed as a nazi... I think this is closer to the point i'm making. I think with children, there is an instinctive need to protect and defend, that is God given. But to do drugs, i don't think that could ever be sanctified. shooting up with the Holy Ghost? i don't know about that. but i'm all up for being like a child with God.
( I think that's what it's called. ) That explained a lot for me. I also found something on John's website that was very informative about it but I don't know where it was hehe.
Ephesians 5, 18-20Don't drink too much wine. That cheapens your life. Drink the Spirit of God, huge draughts of him. Sing hymns instead of drinking songs! Sing songs from your heart to Christ. Sing praises over everything, any excuse for a song to God the Father in the name of our Master, Jesus Christ.
The message translation is not the Bible or a Bible, it is a very loose paraphrase. do not use translations to justify your beliefs. The KJ says nothing about drinking the Spirit but being filled and speaking in the Spirit, not even figuratively drinking...
Eph 5:18, 19 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit; Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
haha John, i love the beard, love the fact you are a true revivalist with an iphone :p (macs are heavenly) and i love you and your ministry :) you are amazing :)
Yee-ha in the gloray! Great word... a lot of times, religion sets in slow...and then multiplies. it's like leaven- a little spoils the whole lump. That's why Jesus said to the disciples, "Beware the leaven of the Pharisees".
