Josh Hamilton's Testimony

[beshnola]

Is this how Christianity is?White men molest kids, smoke crack cocaine, steal, cheat, kill, and lie and then go to church while their white women hump on black cock.ooh I understand now.

[rachellily232]

Read Josh' Book its amazing.

[Jander4031]

I love watching Josh Hamilton play and love to watch him be a victorious Christian in real life. He is a living testimony of the "power of God unto Salvation to every one that believeth.. Rm1:16" Thanks for posting this video, jtucker33!

[Ezra1Jesus1Disciple]

They should be praising Jesus!

[ToroQ3000]

He & the rangers still lost to a bunch of pot-smoking giants....

[tallliza]

Personal experiences prove NOTHING. Most of them will be silently withdrawn in a few years.

[Vegas1Joker]

Josh you are a Murderer

[TheCenation76]

[Vegas1Joker]

[URAMoronlol]

@Vegas1Joker - <-----

[mattattack75]

I am not impressed with Josh Hamilton's life...i am impressed with Christ...but not this guy who talks and just talks

[kenorellana1]

i like how god change josh to a god person because god is the only one to change bad people to good persons

[DJDStebb716]

I don't personally believe in god, but I'm glad that there is something people can turn to in times of great need.

[MRobelixa]

Why would drugg addicts etc have these testimonys of God intervening and changing lives. The radical change it brings to those people is so obvious. They are totaly humble because the realisation of God's greatness humbles u. It is something that when u experience this cant be described in words, It totaly sets u free from this world and its strugles. iT IS VERY LIBERATING. Wish all can find it.

[dirdyb]

As a fan of Baseball & sports in general, Josh Hamilton is an ideal ball player. As a Youth Pastor & Christian, Josh Hamilton is an ideal witness.

God doesn't beat a person down, He doesn't get amusement from watching people fail, & He doesn't leave people out to dry. God is merciful, gracious, & the giver of life. As human beings, we screw up. We get on a path of everything is going our way & the idea that we did it all on our own begins to dwell inside of us. When we start thinking that it's

[jimmym35x]

good for him for cleaning up and ALCS MVP, but I don't know why all these people thank religion, josh chose his own path, every man is responsible for his own destiny. josh hamilton saved josh hamilton

[rrwguy777]

@jimmym35x I am in no way trying to pick a fight, just some food for thought. "There is a way that seems right to man, but in the end, leads to death." These words from the Bible fit perfectly with what you've said. Every man choose as path, and if he chooses the one that seems right to Him outside of God, it only leads to death. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father but through Me." Josh chose the One True Way and Jesus gave Him the strength. Peace.

[Jotun2279]

@jimmym35x Amen...uh, oops.

[hoosky1143]

This video is awesome.....but not nearly as awesome as the pics of a shirtless Josh,doing body shots off some random woman's cleavage in a bar in Tempe,AZ in 2007.

[DIRKaLICIOUS41]

welcome back josh

[bclancy95]

He's still a snitch. I read the book.

[MrBaseball8475]

Josh Hamilton is the best

[VaRulloMikedUp]

love his story and will never forget the 08 homerun derby...this nighht changed my life.

[cdmo74]

Amen! Great comment tozuelke. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.

[Rroy0106S]

Jesus doesnt decide ur decisions, its him who helps you get out of your bad ones.

[MakaVeliBoi]

josh is reall nice i met him at the all star game

[skyhigh33716]

josh u can do it...u a a good man.....

[saltypork3]

I guess "jesus" didn't help him in his relapse. If he credits "jesus" for his recovery he should fault "jesus" for his relapse.

[kyleharper16]

wow man...you're a retard...i guess christians arent humans anymore? lol

[saltypork3]

Did I claim that people don't make mistakes? What I pointed out was that he credited "jesus" for his entire recovery, then he should fault "jesus" for his relapse. It's typical christian behavior to credit jesus for their rights but never blame him for their wrongs. If that isn't done that Hamilton is a hypocrite and so are you.

[kyleharper16]

So people (everyone) who struggle with things are hypocrites? what??

and please tell me how that is even logical to credit Jesus for his relapse

[saltypork3]

You should really pay attention to what I'm writing. To credit Jesus for his recovery implies that his faith was the overwhelming factory in his turn around. So his regression means either Jesus if fucking with him and testing him again, or Jesus doesn't give a shit and let him be on his own. Jesus helped him through his struggles and then let him down. Jesus doesn't exist. Hamilton is to credit for his recovery and to blame for his relapse.

[kyleharper16]

Actually, Jesus does exist. No historian argues that...think about what you write, or better yet, know what you are talking about at least slightly.

No human is strong enough to overcome an addiction on their own. Especially one with the kind of draw drugs and alcohol has.

And no, Josh made a mistake. Wait, whats that? Oh. He's human! haha why didnt i think of that before?

[saltypork3]

Most historians agree that someone named Jesus existed. In fact many people named Jesus existed being that it was an extremely popular name for that time period. There is no proof of his divinity, none whatsoever. I know people that have overcome alcohol addiction withouth the use of religious propaganda. If you can't understand the irony of Josh Hamiltons false message then you are to dumb for me to talk to and I have to end this conversation.

[flyawaysuperman]

well goodbye then

[tozuelke]

Most historians agree that the Bible is a historical document with fact about Jesus. Not only that Archeologist have been making discoveries that prove the Bible's content. Now for Josh he freely walked away from Jesus. That is the beauty of God, He gave us free will. During the time that Josh walked awy Josh's life was not the best. Then Josh used his free will and asked Jesus back into his life. With Jesus's help Josh is where he is today.

[saltypork3]

Please state your sources that the Bible is a factual book.

[ChristInJeff]

@saltypork3 I've heard of people overcoming alcohol without Jesus (noone personally), but not ever of anyone getting rid of the desire to drink. On the other hand I've known a few people personally that say that the desire to drink, smoke, do drugs, etc. was totally taken away by Jesus Christ.

[saltypork3]

@ChristInJeff And those people are either lying or confused. It's just a placebo effect.

[saltypork3]

@ChristInJeff To further expand upon what I said before I'll ask this. I have been told that from several Christians that god gave us free will. If that is so why would your god take that free will away from us? I mean jesus decided that going through a trial of ones will wasn't worth it, so took away their desires completely? Come on it's nonsensical gibberish.

[ChristInJeff]

As far as proof of His diety, there is much proof. Some may say the empty grave, the Shroud of Turin, or the many miracles that happen today. Or perhaps they may mention the vast number of lives changed, people fed, and hearts healed. But I believe one of the greatest evidences of Him being Lord is the fact that He exists in my heart.

[saltypork3]

@ChristInJeff I think you need a definition of the word PROOF. The empty grave cannot be proven, the shroud of Turin, using carbon dating has been proven as a fake. As far as lives changing, people being fed, and hearts healed,  you can't PROVE that this is the work of a god. Unless you see cheeseburgers falling from the sky, it's simply your OPINION. What you stated was your belief that god is real. I asked for quantifable proof and you haven't given any.

[SH4DOWMOS3S]

@saltypork3 Why is it you doubters always have to see to believe in something? Just because you can't see God so you assume he don't exist. I hate when you guys try to pull the card of, "Well, if God exists then why are there muderers, rapists, drugies etc."

[saltypork3]

@SH4DOWMOS3S I don't have to see air to know it exists. I know that exists do to scientific proof that it is abundant on the planet. The idea of Jesus Christ was taken from other stories that had been written. Look up if you will the story of Horus the god. It was written 1200 years before the story of christ, yet the bible essentially steals this idealology. If god did exist he wouldn't mind murderers and rapists. Read your old testament and you would see that he condones those actions.

[xTheSilentBeast]

@saltypork3 There are murderers and rapists in this world today because God gives you the choice to be a Christian and beleive he sent his only begotten son to die for all of our sins... or be a rapist, murderer etc. I hope you discover the truth about the Christian religion and take God into your heart. I hope to see you in Heaven my brother

[saltypork3]

@xTheSilentBeast I'm sure your god loves murderers. I mean he is the most famous one, so why not allow them to exist. I hope one day that you truly start seeing with your eyes. Right now you live a life that is being filled with an empty religion. I know it's hard to realize that your way of living is a lie, but it is. It's more and more evident every day. Hopefully you can break the chains of religion that hold you down. Only then can you be truly free.

[SH4DOWMOS3S]

@saltypork3 Well, if there're rapists, muderers etc doesn't that prove to you there is a devil?

[saltypork3]

@SH4DOWMOS3S How would that prove there's a devil?

[TheMingo1441]

@saltypork3 You don't need PROOF to BELIEVE

[saltypork3]

@TheMingo1441 I never said that you did. I can believe in unicorns. It doesn't mean that it's true. Or the correct thing to believe.

[cbgs4673]

Faith my ass

[rustycageandrun]

OOOOOPS!

[ilikecats007]

LOL!!!

[getoverthatfence]

I met him at spring training and he is just a simple amazing man. His love for Christ pulled him through thge abuse and look what God helped him accomplish! Josh is really an amazing character and sick to watch him hit bp.Also a great man to just sit and talk to. "I am second" indeed the greatest story from a human...

[carrytheflag61]

i can't wait to meat him when he comes to Cleveland.

[thepickens]

Josh is one of the nicest and most Godly person I have ever met. When he was at rehab this May he came to Round Rock (AAA of the Astros) for his rehab. Right there in the outfield stands I talked and prayed with him. God Bless you Josh and thank you for everything

[thepickens]

your right, death should not be scary if you are a true Christian. A true Christian knows that once they die they will live in heaven for eternity.

[weightguy42]

wow, personly i think that bones and all that stuff about dinisors is just to test faith, srry if i spelled anything wrong.

[AdiosandWolverine13]

i agree with airsoftnut2, You know what God can do? He can move the mountains. Which is amazing! Who do you know that can move mountains?

[airsoftnut2]

as josh says Christianity is more that just a religion

[NlteMarE21]

God is not real!?!?! Dude look around you...

[chumpypig15]

i look around me and see scum...

...wait no i dont, i see what God has made, obviously man has constructed things but without God placing anything here on ths earth that wouldnt be possible

[saltypork3]

God is Santa Claus for adults.

[kristennic27]

Praise God that he brought Josh back!

[rtydhg9q]

@kristennic27 And Praise Him even further that He didn't bring all of those other unworthy drug-addled addicts back, that He, in His infinite infinitude (a veritable redundance of superfluousity) decided (or maybe He knew all along, and didn't really have to decide) weren't worthy enough. Or maybe they just couldn't hit a baseball far enough for His taste.

[rrwguy777]

@rtydhg9q "If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God will it? May it never be! Rather, let God be found true, though every man be found a liar." I've debated atheists/agnostics/scoffers/sk­eptics for a long time, and may I just encourage you that you couldn't run this universe better than God. Ask yourself this, why are you on here picking on someone you don't even know's faith? What thrill does it bring you? What is motivating you to do it?

[eurekabaseball2]

AMAZING!

[yeahboizz]

oh yeah what a great christian....an addicted, selfish and ungrateful human being who almost threw the life of a superstar MLB player that many people dream of..... yeah what a saint!!!!! lol

[amirrox]

thats before his christian years

[saltypork3]

Well he just relapsed, so I guess your theory is out the window.

[Jim1971a]

Amen.

[PlowThrough8]

Fuck You Faggot Josh Is Awesome

[whiteboymaxout]

great christian man

[PachydermStomp]

Praise God!! God can do anything we just have to have faith.

[tbrays98]

god bless josh

[TheRabbitHoleIsDeep]

Amen!!!!

[wargamer5]

[dzurawell19]

[amirrox]

[peterjames314]

[PlowThrough8]

You Shut The Fuck Up

[simonburbank]

@wargamer5 God didn't save him, he saved himself. People like you are so hypocritical.

[Vinman227]

he's an inspiration to sports what a story an he's my idol

[rudeboyabbyd]

he truly is the best around

[IdidURmom2]

Great Story and a Great Guy

[icartoon2]

I'd favorite this video if I would have heard him say, "I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." Doesn't ANYONE have a clip of him saying that?

[nlm1306]

Are you really questioning another man's faith? Thats about as low as it gets.

[icartoon2]

Thanks for negging my comment. Maybe if you looked through (and watched a couple of) my videos you'd better understand what I mean, rather than, just making a quick judgment call on my comment.

[nlm1306]

Youre clearly questioning something about his faith. So what are you implying?

[icartoon2]

I'm implying nothing. It is you who is doing the implying. What I'm saying to you (the one to whom I was not speaking in the first place is): look into my video section to see what I feel about Josh Hamilton if you really care to know.

[nlm1306]

Well Im man enough to admit I was wrong. But at the same time you should read your comment and see how it can be taken by probably a majority of people. You sound critical of Josh, not ESPN.

[icartoon2]

And I'll forgive you seeing you are a mere 20 year old who has hardly had time to experience life, let alone, listen.

[nlm1306]

And thats how you choose to respond, wow. Im done with this.

[tornadosteve1]

goes to show don't give up folks we can all comeback!

[cm275]

Great story.

[leftshoe08]

one of the best players in the majors right now. Everyone is talkin about a rod and manny but this guy should be one of the front runners for the mvp. his story is truley amazing and he should get more shouts for the mvp because this guy is a 5 tool player

[jsg2891]

no one else that ever played the game could have put on a show like josh did that night at yankee stadium. abreu did hit 24 in a round back in 05 or 06, but he wasn't consistantly hitting them 450+ feet. that is only part of his game, he does everything else to that caliber as well. he is the most talented player in the game, oh yea, he's also a pretty great person too. if he sticks around in this game for a while,this is only the beginning of alot of amazing things he is going to do in baseball

[TearsDropsMN]

I have always like Josh Hamilton ever since he came into the big league. He is a inspiration to many people in this world, I want to thank him for sharing his story to everyone, thanks again and I wish him and his family the best. God bless you and your family always. Thanks again for sharing your amazing story, and My MVP this year in Major League Baseball for 2008 is Josh Hamilton.

[romans6thru8]

It's an awesome thing that only God is able to do: to take away the desire to do things that will kill us! God took addiction from me about seven years ago. I am glad to see and hear Josh give credit to God. Thanks for posting this.

[melkman21]

niice video !!
