  • This is an EPIC video...great job :) :D :D :D

  • that was amazing! thanx 4uploading the video :D i liek the song stars at the end too :D

  • yay switchfoot!!

  • As a response to 1 Peter 2:4-12, I have been doing that and it is working finally! I thank God and ask Him to show me what to do me next since 2 of my friends have had dreams that made them ask me questions about God.

  • i'm athiest, and don't beleive in it all but i'm saying this to prove my point. it was very well done still.

  • I agree :) im anti-theist and i love this video :) its been on my faves for some time now!.. i hope their holy nation includes tolerance and understanding for other cultures and beliefs...

  • I hope people's view of tolerance doesn't mean never having someone try to persuade you their way is right

  • @amontey agnostic, so some of this kind of gets on my nerves, but good music anyway

  • I love this song...for some reason I keep listening to it over and over. It jus amazing...

  • relli gd vid

  • Amazing! Love the quote

  • AMAZING VIDEO!!!

  • This was very good, its totaly true we should be a Godly natiion :)

  • The video is REALLLY good. recuerdanse que la palabra es de doble fila.

  • I love the quote by C.S lewis as well.

  • cool ... :-<

  • K.M...MAHAL KITAH!!!

  • I dont get how people can look in such a negative way at life.. just get out there and life.. if everyone did that, there would be no war and stuff like that.. really..

  • Oh my gosh! that was amazing... you are so good at like transforming the song into something more... God is working in your life and I can really tell... keep walking with him! that video was so good!

  • 2:31 deidara back from the grave lmao

  • LOL! yeah I guess so :P

  • haha, yeah i noticed. except he's still alive... do you watch shippuden? he just caught the 3tails. or maybe you read the manga and he died there, which would make me the uninformed one =P

  • ah no i read the manga i gave up on the anime =S only got as far as Kimimaro dieing lmao

  • Very well done! this video adds even more depth to this amazing song

  • cosmo our youth minister likes to say to us whats done is done... do not think too hard about it... just think before you act... sometimes that helps

  • right TheWitnesser?

  • this song speaks the truth.. we all need to group together as christians and unite with god...we should not turn towards our own life and not be alone

  • Umm, this sounds like people who say, "Are you Christian or Catholic?"

    CATHOLICS ARE CHRISTIANS. But Christians are not necessarily Catholics.

    For those who don't know what I'm talking about, Christianity is separated into two sects, Catholic and Protestant. Protestant is separated into many more denominations (e.g. Baptist, Presbyterian, etc.).

    THEY BOTH ARE CHRISTIAN, THEREFORE, THEY SHARE THE SAME BIBLE.

    It's the same faith, guys.

  • awesome nothing bad to say about that

  • loved this!

  • How inspiring!! I love this song, you just added a whole new depth and meaning to it with this video. So true! Great job!!!

  • great...

  • lol your neigbour is holy my arse

  • awesome video that you made!!

  • Good song, and I live near a New Hope Rd. That was my old church, and they named a road after it. lol

  • I love the Weight of Glory quote. Lewis is amazing. Great vid. One of my fav songs.

  • u should put a disturbing images warining on there. some of those pics are messed up

  • WOW! amazing video! pls send me the pictures!

    god bless!

  • This song was one of the inspirations for the new film The Proverbs. You can now watch The Proverbs right here on youtube.

  • I think this is a cry out to God to "Not leave me hollow. I feel empty without you! Don't just leave me with Myself! Myself sucks!"

    It's all so very true. I know I'm empty inside without Christ and I want need more than just myself, more than my lonely nation!

  • we all need to worship god thats the only way to freedome

  • God I love this song.

    We are more than money, beauty and vanities.

    We HAVE to be more of it, since we are not trash.

  • Amen to that vid, its very well done and inspiring

  • this is awesome! did u use LiveType for the text?

  • Read "Misquoting Jesus," by New Testament Scholar Bart D. Ehrman. It'll cost you around fifteen bucks, but it'll open your eyes to reality.

  • a misquote opened your eyes?

    no offense, but that's pathetic.

  • You misinterpret what I'm saying. I noticed a significant degree of people are extolling the Bible as if it were divinely inspired. If you read the book I mentioned, by New Testament scholar Bart Ehrman, you will see that the experts, who actually read the ancient texts, beg to differ, seeing the New Testament (and the Bible as a whole) as a very human document.

    Shalom/Salaam/Peace

  • Well according to itself it was written by humans, though according to itself it was divinely inspired.

    So this Bart Ehrman read the bible as a whole and decided to misquote it on purpose? Then write a book about misquoting it?

    This probably isnt the case, but it is what i've gathered from what you've said.

  • Cabrion,

    Ehrman's a scholar of the text, so he works with the ancient manuscripts, trying to determine which texts are the most authentic. That is, he tries to get to the purest form of the text, without scribal errors/edits. He argues, based on the historical evidence, that over the centuries, many corruptions have made their way into the texts. Now, most are inconsequential, being of spelling or word order. But some are significant, affecting Christian theology. That's what I meant to convey.

  • Of course, things have a way of changing every time they change hands.

    Unfortunate that he should pick a title such as "misquoting Jesus".. that is of course unless he means that we are misquoting Jesus.

    *shrug*

    based on what you're saying, the latter thought is most accurate, no?

  • Cabrion,

    That is exactly what I meant to say, that scholars have "misquoted Jesus", due to these scriptural edits/errors. Sorry for the confusion.

  • That's why we should all learn Hebrew and Greek and read the scriptures in their original context and vernacular.

  • Except archaeology and the actual evidence we have illustrate the Bible, even in its original context and vernacular, to be a very human book.

    It's not saying the Bible isn't useful. There are parts of it that are incredible at metaphor, tragedy, and conveying the human experience. But I can look at the Odyssey and find a lot of the same. Doesn't mean it's divine, but doesn't mean we can't find use in it.

  • I agree with you on all your presented points, but my original comment was directed at the confusion amongst different interpretations of the Bible, which is what I gathered you and cabrion were addressing.

  • On the whole divinity note, the reason there's no "concrete" evidence as to whether or not the Bible was divinely inspired is because who's to say what is divine?

    Who is to say that all the works of the past that are similar to the Bible and what the Bible teaches and conveys aren't also divinely inspired, other ways that God had reached out to mankind in the past?

  • i love God/Jesus?The Holy Spirit with all my life! i think that God put jesus here for a job that he couldnt do, so He sent His Son, Jesus Christ

  • man!!

    u r totally blessed!!

    great testify u r doin' by makin' these videos!!

    keep workin' for God! o/

  • Wow!

    great job. this is amazing. really makes me think...

  • religion is just mans response to life and the inevitable death that follows...but hey, just my opinion. awesome song, deep lyrics, love the vocals also. keep rockin' Switchfoot.

  • That is a freaky video for a church group

  • thank u to whome ever put this up it the trueth the god 4 u

  • These guys are great. I look up to them. Awesome lyrics.

  • This is such a good video, it has such meaning, and it brings out a great message. Everyone in their right minds should watch this in my opinion

    But, I have a question that's been nagging at me.

    Why do people pray to Jesus, when he only died for our SINS. Shouldn't we pray to God because he MADE us? I'm just wondering. It's kindda strange to me that everyone prays to Jesus and not God. .

  • Jesus and God are the same person.... Technically, we pray to both. =]

  • well i open prayers with dear God and close with in Jesus's name so ... yeahi was raised that way

  • The Bible says to pray to God in Jesus's name. i'm not sure where, but it's there. i see your point here though.

  • like hrtablz said, the bible says to pray to God in Jesus' name...

    Jesus is the connetcion that we have between us and God...

    there is a long abysm between we and our God...

    and Jesus is like the ONLY "bridge" that we are able to use to reach our Lord's Remain [don't know if it's correct in english... i'm brazilian xP]

    ...

    that is my church's interpretation for that versicle... I think it's pretty logical, actually =P

  • Because Jesus is the Firstborn, He is the only One who can approach God and not get annihilated by His presence.

    At the same time, Jesus IS God. They are one and the same.

    Elohim, one of His names, means God Family in Hebrew. God the Parent, Jesus the Firstborn.

    In fact, God calls Jesus God. I don't have my notes with me at the moment, but when I get to them, I'll put up the verses.

    Though one entity, the two function differently with God as the Head and Jesus as our ambassador.

  • The best part of Switchfoot is the fact that they are christian and it gives them a whole lot more meaning to their lyrics. We can't do it on our own and thats why God sent us Jesus!

  • That's the world for ya.

  • hey fsxPWM look more at what is written on the wall these are the things satan throws at us... we need god to overcome these thats why that is written

  • whoa,  what a message

  • Just what the hell was the message? Was this edited by a fucking retard?!

  • I can see that you might have a hard time understanding this. Do to the types of videos you like. Evil and gore. This is about the horrors that go on and that there is a way out and peace.

  • kenny,

    Let him live out his life without ever considering world issues out there. That's not for him to worry about anyway. Everyone will know the Truth at the White Throne Judgment. We might even see him there.

  • is it in the catholic bible?

  • there is no book of peter in the bible...

  • its right after Hebrew and James =)

  • what bible verses are these?...if they are in the bible =) love this song!!

  • cant wait to see these fellas at parachute music festival 2008

  • mikeyeyn2k7 I know it's hard for you to see the goodness in life i myself have had those tradegies. The point is god says that if you trust in him.. all things are possible.. MYlife has worked out when i trusted believe and god will make your life the way you deserve it to be

  • Ok first of all having sex when your not married...That's just gross and wrong.

    When you marry you have a dedication to the

    spouse oh and i cant believe im teaching this .... You have a strong love your allowed to have

  • WOw i didnt watch this song i was just listening to it while i did something else now that i watch it this interpratation is completely unorthodox...

  • god thank im not the only person on youtube who believes in the second coming switchfoot prepares your body and soul for that. lonely nation rockz!!!!!!!!!!!

  • i love  this song and the band

  • JESUS LIVES

  • Ahahahahahaha all these comments about how you should put your faith in "god" are just a load of BS. I mean come on I don't even WANT god to exist. Cuz' if he did he'd either be crazy or just sadistic. Think about it, why would something that is depicted as the most forgiving and the goodest entity in the entire universe, kill someone's child. And now don't give me that crap about how we can't understand how god works, cuz it just ain't good enough.

  • Dosn't matter if you want God to exist or not because he does. When did god kill a child and if you are reffering to the old testement battles. we are no longer under the old but under Jesus christ it seems to me you had religion forced down your throat You were never introduced to JESUS Christ who loves you more than you could know!

  • well said

  • emmmm. if everything would be okay, would we care about god ? NO! we would say: Everything is allright so I don't need a god!

    But I'm sad enough so i say and pray: I NEED GOD!

    Greets Temple

  • i don;t know who you are but that the way the devil want you to think i feel sad 4 you lonly soul in hell you will go i hope god get in your heart!

  • You will be sorry that you didn't believe in God on your judgement day, you will encounter God and he might give you eternal damnation.

  • OMFG!!! that must've been among the worst BS I've ever heard in my entire life. If you're rich enough to have a computer then firstly you probably live in a country without war and I'm kinda sure you don't have any bigger issues in your life.

    I'm not saying that the core of religions are wrong, cuz' all the cores are about support and love. But on those things in religion lies all that shit that the popes and fucking Runar add later like how sex and masturbation are sins and stuff like that.

  • Dude, how has sex before marriage profitted anybody?

  • i assume that God, if he exists, will understand my rational thinking and forgive me for not believing the minute amount of evidence in favor of his existence.

  • like what?

  • "Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin."

    Those who do not know the Truth cannot be judged. God isn't stupid.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!!

    i don't know why, i have a rush to listen to a lot of switchfoot songs, they are my favorite band i have all their albums, but i haven't listened to them in forever!(like about 5 months)

  • god works in strange ways.He'll take your life and bit by bit will tear it away until u have nothing left and then He'll show you how He can turn ur life around

  • It looks like you don't accept Jesus as your savior and continue to be an athiest or anti Christ. Either read the Bible and put your trust in God, or live a miserable life as a person who thinks that everything is hard. You can ask God to help you in your time of need and he'll do it but he'll do it in a mysterious way that we can't see.

  • That was to mikeyn2k7

  • Jesus has been through some of the worst things imaginable, and if you let him he'll stick by you forever.

    he never made promises bad things wouldn't happen, we've screwed up the world too badly for worldly perfection in any sense

    praying for you

  • i'm praying for you mikeyn2k7

    we're forever gratful for the soldiers that fight and die for our freedom.

    i'm very sorry you're sister was attacked by someone that says he's a christian (he might be now, almost nothing is unforgivable)

    if you have any questions about God please ask me or anyone else.

  • Hey jo,

    Look here you find gods goodness ---> he has gave his own son (his only one O_o) and he nailed him at the cross. And what for ? To forgive us our sins ! He's great man. And that with your friend is sad, it realy is. But God has got a plan also for you ! Probally he had a reason to do that. It's har but yeah...

    Greets Temple

  • His goodness was watching out for people who believe in him, and trust him, and love him. I mean none of us has never had doubts he doesn't exist, but then he will show us in different ways for each person how he really does exist. Btw God is so entwined in history. Where are you getting your history from? Have you read Lord of the Flies? Go read it now. In fact it doesn't even mention God, so you should be happy.

  • All I can say is wait for the Great White Throne Judgment when all Truth shall be unveiled to everyone who has lived and died since the beginning of time.

    Oh, and on a side note, this event happens when Satan is bound and with him all doubt, confusion, negativity, etc.

    Something to think about?

  • hey woah cool it... listen ive had it roug htoo you know everyone has... god seems to come closer to me in hardship more than ever because then i don' t have anything to help me exept that i can come back to god and thats important... did you ever kow that he could work like that

  • sorry that was to mikeynk74 or what ever it is

  • dont be stupid i am christian that was not a christian video that was absolutely ridiculous

  • what wasn't good? i' am christian 2 and found it pretty cool .... so tell me...

    Greets Temple

  • Oh sorry, I just misunderstood your comment. My apologies, Aquaxmarina.

  • cosmo,

    Do you really call yourself Christian? Because I think i speak for everyone else here when I say you don't have me convinced.

    Bro, be careful how you speak. Don't give us a bad name like other fools out there are very fond of doing. Just a little friendly advice from an ally.

  • I'm sorry for freaking out and being mean, I just wasn't in a good mood that day

  • Don't trip about it. Just be careful what you say. We who call ourselves Christian are scrutinized by EVERYONE with every moment that passes, not only by those around us, but also by the Majesty Himself.

    Self-control, homeboy, Jesus taught that among others.

  • Thnx

  • you missed the point

  • the end is so good..

    mixed the intro of "stars" i love that intro.. nice nice!

  • the mixed intro is in the album, its practacally like that with all the songs on the NIS album actually

  • Ugh people are sickening, thats all I have to say.

  • i dnt understand why Christians, catholic or protestants are so quick 2 make comments on ppl hu aint Christian. like c'mon ppl if ur a true Christian u shud b sharin the word o god no goin off at ppl hu have a diff oppinion! hw are they menta come 2 god wen ppl show such a harsh front towards em?!? take the comments as a oppertunity 2 talk 2 em n help em understand!!!

  • I'm a christian and i have to say that not all christian are like that, some feel like its mandatory to save everyone they come in contact with as quickly as possible, but i've been taught to share the gospel with my actions and maybe talk with them if we're close enough or have been talking long enough to talk about that kinda stuf

  • i 100 percent agree. i would never want some stranger forcing some beliefs on me. i would never do that. actions speak louder. in fact they scream

  • Bragong,

    Do you know what the Gospel is?

    It's not forgiveness or the fact that Christ came and died for our salvation 2k years ago.

    If one does not know what should be preached, how does that one preach the truth?

  • Desterbing... Really go song tho. Its sad that some people think that the catholic church is corrupt. Were all one if we belive that Jesus is the savor.

  • "do to others as you woudl have them do to you." So try to dig deep and grasp the good of ever religion. You will find you can no longer argue with riligion no matter the kind. Its also intresting, I am sure it will intest any one even if they belive firmly in their riligion. ^^ I even find that satinests are some what good. Rough around the edges yes, but never the less good people in the end. Most all of us have what it takes to be good. Dependent appon how harshly you view "good"

  • You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind."

    You shall love your neighbor as yourself.

    In order to abide by EITHER of these commandments, it is NECESSARY to discard any human worldviews and all carnal desires, which, unfortunately, MANY find difficult (or next to impossible) to do simply because they're way too attached to the material.

    It's hard to be Christian.

  • im chritian but I dont agree with some of the christian people. I belive in god, the help christians try to instill in every one, my only isue is with the ones who do nto do as they preach, so I some times dislike christians for their perpose of not doing as they preach, but I live by one rule and only one.

  • switchfoot is a christain band...so if you dont like it-dont listen to it.

  • They're a band of Christians who play music with thought-provoking lyrics and who have a Christian worldview.

    Officially, they're just a rock band lol.

    Down with political correctness!

  • ROCK ON

    SWITCHFOOT FOREVER

  • Preach on Brother!! Awesome....just Awesome I loved the ending it went deeper then just some song written about being a "lonely nation" and I think you hit the nail on the head!! Keep it up, and God Bless

  • great song, awful video. stop preaching!! religion is easily corruptable

  • I would agree that cold hard religion is corruptible...but this video is going beyond. I am talking about relationships. Relationship with humanity, and most importantly a relationship with God. If you wanna talk about it, message me. Search 'everymacstudent' in youtube, and see what other people think.

  • i agree, but dont talk about "god" as god from the catholic bible. im catholic but i hate it. its like we think were better than everyone else. if you want to talk about relationships and humanity and all that stuff, dont include god.

  • I'm really sorry to hear about your feelings towards the catholic church, but have you ever read the Bible for yourself and looked for who God says He is? I mean from cover to cover? Try reading it for yourself and if you have any questions feel free to message me. I can't promise I have all the answers...but I can at least try.

    --God Bless

  • Just another clarification...not that its a big deal, but the intended audience for this video was a youth group in a Baptist church, which is probably a very different group from a Catholic youth group...maybe not...I couldn't say for sure because I am not Catholic and have never been to a Catholic mass.

  • The thing that's wrong about any church is that it's comprised of humans and is therefore imperfect.

    This is why any relationship with God MUST begin on a personal level.

    Otherwise, you have this goupthink going on where a bunch of nutjobs think they're God in flesh.

    Catholic churches, Protestant churches, Orthodox churches, none are exempt.

    It is imperative that any relationship with the Eternal begin between the man and the Man.

  • I also hope you realize that in that statement you just made, and your other ones...you were preaching to me on your views of God. So if I told you stop preaching at me, I would never understand your point of view...and I really would like to understand your views.

  • sure religion is, Jesus isn't

  • But the human understanding of Jesus and His role on the earth then, now, and in the future is VERY easily corruptible.

    "'For My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways My ways,' says the Lord. "

  • sick video, nice job man. keep it up.

    what church is this??

  • ok thx then

  • wow im not really religous but im catholic...i just like switchfoot :)

  • If you get at the heart of Christianity you will not find religion. There is faith, love, grace, forgiveness, and justice.

  • So whether you are Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant...it doesn't really matter as long as you know Jesus as your personal savior, which can only happen through faith in who HE is and WHAT HE has done for all of humanity. (I.E. died for our sins so that we could have life abundantly and eternally).

  • The so-called "Gospel" that we are supposedly called on to preach is not the actual Gospel that Christ said to spread, did you know that?

    Gospel means "good news." The persona of Christ wasn't this good news we're supposed to spread.

    The Gospel is actually that a new Government with a whole new order is coming. That is the Gospel.

    For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given: and the government shall be upon His shoulder..."

  • emo christian?

  • no..not emo Christians, but this video is trying to make other Christians aware of how others might feel WITHOUT Christ. It is our responsibility (and honor) as Christians to show people that they are loved.

  • fantasticly inspiring vid, thank you, thank God that the tube can be used in this way, ministry and for bands like switchfoot, skillet etc who play to the unsaved with a great sound and a clear underlying message. the unsaved do not like to listen to gospel music that's why bands like this are important and video makers like yourself can utilise their work. abs grrrrrreat!

  • man.... this video is really touching an the song is great

  • Totally inspiring.

  • amazing video!!

    keep up the good work

    :)

  • i meant ALOT to think about oops

  • thankyou. this made me cry. if only they could see.

  • thank you for the comment. check out my other one. also search for "everymacstudent" for some other good vids.

    God Bless

  • sorry....replied from the wrong account.

    Blessings.

  • Cooly! Don't know you guys... but it's still pretty sweet!

  • Amazing images...what a challenge
