Music Hymn Amazing Grace Lincoln Avenue Baptist Church Orang

[sharndan]

Why so full of hate?

[fifadefa]

i cant remember!!!!

[tounoni]

I watched a film, (Nigerian film) asserting that this hymn "Amazing Grace" was originally a local song of the Calabar tribe (South South) of Nigeria and that John Newton literally stole their copyright. JN was reputed to have gone to that part prior to turning to God's work, i.e when he was dealing in slave trade during early 17th Century, Has any historian ever read about this? have not found any corroboration of this claim, only from this film..............

[willgsp]

Copyright law didn't exist until 1710, and then only in a very limited form and only in Britain, not Nigeria. Newton lived in the 18th century and only wrote lyrics, not music.

[Wawaron123]

We sing this at my Catholic Church as well....nice song.

[allstarboyscout]

great country sound...

gimmedat22 if you think that, I'm so sorry for you. I hope you get to believe, and that everybody else believe too, so we all can have salvation :)

[spybouncer6]

When Jesus came to the world about 2008 years ago, he came as a human, but he is God himself. Jesus came to Earth and made wonderful miracles. Jesus cured the blind and the unclean. Jesus then was crucified (for those who don't know, there is "scientific facts" although those who believe, don't need facts) but his body was never found by anyone today, you know why, because he resurrect, he came to life again, and he went with the father who is God.

[spybouncer6]

I believe that there is a God. That God is called Jesus Christ. I also believe that the universe has 6000 years, because in the Bible it clearly says it. What I don't understand is how you atheist believe all that ball sheet about the bigbang and all that trash.

[flyinsquirrel48]

Love the tambourine!

[gimmedat22]

Oh yeah,Persia,is modern day iran,and also you know Babylon,in the Bible, uhhh thats modern day Iraq.

[gimmedat22]

Epic of gilgamesh, Horus the Egyptian Sun God,Paganism.Hmm or should i explain the astrological pattern of the sun which is where Jesus' story of birth and death is derived from and many other qoute on qoute "SUN GODS" have the same particular story hmm copy or coincidence??

[toptenhistory]

Calm down. I ask you how you can make a statement of absolute fact. If this is random universe you are correct. If it

is not, then you are 100% wrong and any relgion, no matter how silly would be more

correct.

[gimmedat22]

So, you believe that the universe is only 6000 years old??Simple question.

[toptenhistory]

I do not see anywhere in my posts that I have expressed an opinion about any particular faith. You made a statement that there is no

God. The question is does cosmology support your conclusion? I have linked, on my channel

to a long clips by Dr George Ellis that

reviews this question.

[gimmedat22]

so sad, that, there really is'nt a God.:[

[toptenhistory]

On what basis did you reach this conclusion?

[gimmedat22]

First ask yourself ,what gave you the thought to make the assumption that there is a "God".The bible?Hmm now ask yourself,should i study,maybe research about the bible where it came from,who wrote it,the stories in the bible, are they real?Are they real stories?Are they original stories?If you did some research you would know that the bible has many stories from different cultures from throughout the mid-east mainly "Egypt" and Persia places like that.

[39neilm19]

A "Wretch like me"??? We are created by an act of love in the image of our creator, Stop putting yourself down, there are enough people out there who thrive on putting you down. Love yourself!!!

[sharndan]

John Newton, the author, had been the captian of a slave ship. It is when we recognize our

sin, and receive Gods love, that we are able to love others.

[waiting1418]

Amen! I was blind but now I see :) Love you Lord

[1000percentREAL]

You shouldnt be so jealous that i found the truth.

Inshallah you will find the truth Ameen.

Salam : )

[1000percentREAL]

Where you talking to me?

WoW Inshallah Find the truth in ~Islam~

Salam : )

[Philos2006]

Nice music. Too bad, they sing about something that doesn`t exist.

[gimmedat22]

Philos2006, I agree.

[kidsongstvshow]

There is no Jesus. The Bible is a Bunch of Bullshit. It is all made up, just one big Fairytale like Little Red Riding Hood. I one need paper for my fireplace and I couldn't find any so I burned a bible. I don't care. Heven and Hell who cares wheI go I will be DEAD.

[davidashbyash]

god bless and keep you

[stewartcamw]

is any one of you lot out there looking or seeing that this is a grupe of people doing some thing that most of you and ME dont have the guts to do, is sing live in Church about GOD. if you are offended Dont listen,I wish I could sing, I love this song and I was SAVED in 1968, you never Know when you will meet THE LORD GOD! Feel free to pull me to pices on my comments> I will still LOVE JESUS

[doniellethebitch]

this song was sang after my grammas death even though it wasnt it wasnt a funneral it was just a memorial service for us

[italian1976]

I'm offended by the words of this song.

[themaninnavyblue]

thats nice italian1976, might want to not listen to it again then

[italian1976]

I just listened to it again, and I'm even MORE offended. We need to change the words.

[toptenhistory]

you can always sing the Gilligans Island song to this tune. but did you even read who wrote this song and

why?

[maurora27]

Bleh. I wish people would just let other people believe what they want to. I am an atheist, but I don't go around trying to convince christians or jews or muslims that their gods aren't real, and it pisses me off when they try to convince me that he does. Why not just leave each other alone?

[acts1631]

i just want to ask one question dont mean to be rude or offend you, but an aithest doesnt beilvbe anything but yet they beliove and have Faith that there is nothing out there. alos we tell ppl because we care about where the person is going to spend enternity

[maurora27]

Ummm...did I say atheists don't believe anything...?

Atheists believe lots of stuff. They just don't believe in any religion. I, for example, believe in science and its principles. I also believe that man is generally good, if you want to get more spiritual.

Your point about caring where someone is going to spend eternity is void because we don't believe in your idea of what eternity is, and we don't want to go there anywyas, because we don't think it exists.

[maurora27]

I am personally MORE adverse to christianity when someone tries to "save" me...I'm really not going to change my mind just because you come up and say, "You're going to HELLLL!!"

[OMM06]

Thank you for posting the lyrics and the historical background of this lovely, meaningful, and timeless song. Blessings to you and yours today. :-)

[sharndan]

praise God when an "atheist" visits the site that is the purpose. God loves them. you can tell when when

he is at work in there heart. they become afaraid and defensive.

[nanaypie]

backlash gago. think twice before you write once.

[backlash420]

You are no better than the indians who worship what you call "false gods". But you havent any proof that they are fake either. No one knows if God exists. No one ever will. So quit trying to make up bullshit theories that attempt to explain something that is beyond anyones comprehension.

[secrist1234]

this guy has a filthy mouth and needs the Lord because he is on his way to hell

[backlash420]

But you guys sit back and say that he created all this shit with what isnt stated as magic but is another word for it. Its retarded.

[backlash420]

Acting as if you care about everyone and everything. It is simply being a good person. Not following a bunch of morons that go on blind faith. They worship something they have no clue if it exists or not. Yet they act as if they know for a fact he does. I believe a higher power exists but the way you idiots believe is completely retarded. We are taught our whole life magic does not exist. Except for the ages of 1-9 or so where we believe in santa clause.

[backlash420]

Why do you christians sit here and try to convince people everyday that God and jesus are real. When you haven't a shred of proof that he is. You yourself have no clue if he is real or not. So why do you try to throw beliefs which are mostly fake at everyone as if everyone wants to hear this bullshit. Religion is found within a person it is not worshipping God.

[rljdej]

Then why are you watching it? The existence of Jesus Christ has not been denied in history, just by hell bound fools like yourself.

[OMM06]

Why do atheists try to convince people that God and Jesus are not real? You don't have a shred of proof that He isn't; and we have the Word of God and our personal experience to say that He is. BTW - a good Christian doesn't throw anything at anyone. He or she offers it with love. Blessings to you, fellow YouTuber. :-)

[backlash420]

Consensus isn't a fact based exercise.

[sharndan]

Christianity does not require "Blind Faith"

If you google the word "DARK MATTER" you will find that

cosmologist, scientist, accept the existance of matter

that that cannot be see or explained, its exsistance is infered from it influence on visible matter.

Like wise Christians can recognize God influence on our

lives.

Relgion is an attempt to please God by following rules

God wants a relationship based on Love.

the message on 3/18 is on this subject.

[backlash420]

christianity = blind faith

religion is comforting.

[doniellethebitch]

i dont think christianity is blind faith it is very comforting
