CARMAN LIVE! - Halloween 3:16 - The Champion

[mrquinlan11]

Wish he was still touring, would have loved to go to one of his concerts

[yodabytes1]

thanks carmen for a great proformance at upper room

[roadapple1000]

Carman is not the Champion. If you spent as much time watching Carmen as you do with our Trinity, then you would be a devoted person. Do you actually believe that your donations go anywhere other than for Carman to buy his clothes and theatrics? Go look at his tax forms, that is why he did not last long touring. Yes, there are many volunteers to provide his needs for his concerts. Again, this is why he is no longer in the "limelight".

[Dmann4Christ]

@roadapple1000

Carmans concerts were free to go to, and he was doing concerts for 20 years. Think his lasted longer than most big bands.

[SailorMoonforver]

brillant song and so true. JESUS IS THE CHAMPION

[southern70526]

he is my champion

[Rachelness3]

THANK YOU JESUS FOR BEING THE CHAMPION!

[Cline3911]

I was at this concert on Oct 31, 1998, in Hendersonville, Tennessee. It was awesome.

[kisyawolf]

this made me not believe in god

[joaliya]

@ DuRiechstSoGut666,

Can i remind you that the wars that have taken place throughout the world's entire history, and even the world's wars to come, added together are less fierce and aggressive than that of the spirit. Jesus looked cool on the natural, but is a Warrior and thus, does more kicking and waging than Carman has displaced..... gong to the Cross alone, Jesus fought greater war to achieve that Victory

[lilianhofstede]

What does Halloween have to do with this?

[DuRiechstSoGut666]

It's a pretty good song, and I love the theatre.

But the boxing dramatisation, triumphalism and aggression just don't seem particularly Christ-like. Not that Jesus wasn't tough, but I always imagined his strengths lay in his charisma and wisdom, so the swagger and ass-kicking misfires for me. Kinda just seems like an attempt to be cool.

[pamnkidz]

I saw Carmen back in the mid 90's. The Champion has always been my fav.

[foodadventures]

I should become a Christian artist. I wouldn't have to ever wonder what to write about again. I could just write about the same thing all the time - God. Not only that, but just the fact that I'm a Christian artist would have a bunch of people supporting me just because of it. Then they'd get all emotional and think I'm amazing. lol.

[GospelTruth37059]

@foodadventures Not quite my friend you seem to miss the point

Gods annoiting is strong.. without it and his spirit.. your just...all wroung.

We test all spirits to see if they be of God. True Christians would know that your heart

was very hard:) Jesus SAVES\0/

[cdw626]

It's O.K. that the non-believers are here. One day, they'll be laying in their death beds, wheezing like dying animals, and the Demons of Atheism will come screaming from the floor to lay claim to the souls that it owns. It will tear at their body and faces and victoriously drag their souls to HELL. In that moment, which science book are they going to read from to tell them to leave them alone! I know what I'm going to say: I am born with the Blood of Jesus! LET ME GO! Christ & Carmen Rules!

[sgallion1]

I love this! My son was saved at a Carmen Concert......this brings back the Joy of that night!!!! His show was amazing!

[scruethedemiurge]

@sgallion1 One question: Suppose your son was never "saved". Suppose he just could not or would not believe the Christian doctrins, thought it was all foolishness, and just never trusted in Jesus. What would you do then? Would you go on worshiping your god knowing that he has eternal torment in store for your unrepentent son? What if your son rejects his faith in the future? Would you say that god is just giving him the punishment he deserves for his "sins"? and for rejecting Jesus?

[sgallion1]

@scruethedemiurge ~If I didn't KNOW for sure that my son was Saved by the Blood of Christ, I would continue to pray with all my heart that God would reveal Himself to my son. I would pray fervently for my son's Salvation as I did for a long time---just as I do for many of my friends that have yet to accept Christ as their personal Savior. Eternal punishment was created for satan and his demons. God NEVER wanted us to be tormented. God gives us every opportuntiy to accept Christ. (continued.

[sgallion1]

@scruethedemiurge post #2

If my son did not accept Christ before his soul left this world; I would be sad to the very core of my being; but yes, I would continue to worship the ONLY One True God, the Creator of Heaven and Earth. I would continue to pray for God take away the pain, to give me His Grace and to give me peace that passes all understanding. When I get to Heaven, God promises that there will be no pain, no tears and no fear. I believe every Word that God gives us in the Bible.

[scruethedemiurge]

@sgallion1 You're out of your goddamn mind.

[MsBdevlin]

You can respond to Him now or later, but The CHAMPION JESUS HAS WON! AMEN AND AMEN

[shockfox7]

Apparently Jesus Christ Son of God is Dirty Harry ('Go ahead, make my day') and Satan is Smeagol, which prove apt analogies: Dirty Harry and Smeagol are also fictitious.

[southern70526]

God is not fictitious

[shockfox7]

@southern70526 Neither is Smeagol.

[sensiblelover72]

i love this song.. iremeber my church did it once..it was amazing and moving! Im happy to have the lord as my savior!:)THE CHAMPION!:)

[RebeccaEv]

'From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and violent men take it by force.' Matt 11:12KJV Im so radically and dangerously in love with Christ.The champion of my faith.

[missarahi]

nogogma -Wow. What idiotic comments ** If the spiritual realm wouldn't exist then why does witchcraft work? ..or even cases of demon possession? Don't base off your judgements simply on Christianity. It's an issue that works both ways - evil and good. So if you've never witnessed someone manipulated by witchcraft, occultic cursings, or even the effect of a simple Ouija board, then no wonder you have no foundation for even a glimpse of believing.

[nogogma]

missarchi;

I think you are out of your mind.

[gonzalezfart14]

love this song..our church did a play with this song!!

[nikitaldy01]

Hey dangerous4Christ...This song gave me chills as a child also... I grew up in this "holy-rolling" lifestyle. I really wish that Christians could introduce Jesus and God in a loving way instead of the chilling way that Pentacostals and everyone else who listens to this music. I grew up in fear of going to hell instead of loving your fellow man. It's really sad and I hope that it changes one day.

[lilmizzie27]

It's good to fear hell ... that way you will do your best not to end up there lol it takes all kinds of christians man. Some are in your face and some are more subtle ... theres someone out there to witness to all sorts of people. Chills and Fear ain't no bad thing ... =]

[bananaman411]

This song never gave me the chills, it is about Jesus being the Champion. He wins in the end. It is a joyous song. I have never had a fear of going to hell. Ever.

[jssstephenson]

i can do the satan voice but i won't

[Buckyrhino]

Hey Nogogma. I can relate to you, for sure. I used to think anybody who would believe this crap was simpleminded, looking for a crutch. Then, the last person in the world to get 'saved' got saved - me!

it's not about a 'guidebook', it's about reestablishing a relationship with a God who loves us very much & wants to interact with us all the time - God himself became His creation to die on a cross so we could be with Him - right now, not when we die & 'get out of hell free'.

[ffrreemmaann88]

I feel sorry for you nogogma, and pray that God well soften your hart. You have so much anger and hate for a man that only loves you & yes I AM a Christian & my faith in God lets me know everyday that he is real and that my realtionship with him is the one thing that i can count on

[dangerous4Christ]

This song gives me chills from head to toes amazing

[nenewon]

This was awesome. A few of my friends did the "reinactment" of this for a mission group a few years back. It was awesome.

[nogogma]

I'm not trying to sway anyone from their faith/beliefs. Just trying to provoke you guys/gals to use your brains to think with for a change, is all. You should try it. You'll be amazed at what you can accomplish.

And I get my reasoning from my own brain. I think for myself. I don't need to look in some Bronze Age primitive relic like the bible to know how to treat my fellow man with decency and respect.

[chafer1]

Excuse me do not knock Christianity if you do not believe in God then do not post your comment. That is extremely rude.

[chafer1]

If you do not stop knocking Christianity I will report you for hateful content because you are extremely being hateful to this religion.

[nogogma]

It's not hateful content. It's my personal opinion just like people have opinions about atheism or another religion. Threatening someone with reports just shows your insecurity and proves the weakness of your beliefs and faith.

[caspianrex]

"Go ahead, make my day." I mean, you just have to marvel at the cheeziness, but you also kind of have to appreciate the talent of the man. I almost feel embarrassed at how much I enjoy watching this!

[nogogma]

Christianity is probably the biggest con job ever to be perpetrated on the human race ever ! It's time for intelligent people to see it for the fraud it really is and get saved by the light of reason and common sense and to get back to reality once and for all for goodness sake.

[COIELL]

But what happens my friend, If I am right and Jesus is real then you have lost everything. Think about it please.

[nogogma]

You're the one who needs to start thinking and stop believing in irrational, superstitious ideas my friend. This "if I'm right and if you're wrong" argument is really worn out and so freakin bogus it's not even worth a response. Get real already because your Jesus isn't real at all. Think about it. You've been scammed by the biggest scam of all time. The religious scam.

[hall2911]

And you base this on?

[nogogma]

A little thing called "thinking" . Try it sometime. It will do wonders for you. As opposed to believing in the idiocy that's in that primitive relic, the bible. Do you really believe a snake spoke human language? A virgin was impregnated by a spirit? What are you basing your conclusion that Christianity is true? Faith? Faith doesn't prove something true.

[hall2911]

Yes sir, I do believe this happened. Just because you didn't experience it, does not make it impossible. Panacea was never witnessed by human eye, yet it is widely accepted as truth. Now I pose a question to you.. why are you expending so much energy to sway people from what you say you don't even believe in? And, you still haven't told me where your reasoning comes from. Just by calling my religion false, you have not proven your ideas true.

[nogogma]

This statement of yours tells me how unsure you are if Jesus is real or not. So typical. That's because you live in fear of what happens after death. So in order to play it safe you have rejected your intellect for something as idiotic as Christianity. What a fool you are.

[metalicastarwars]

um ur gay why are you watching this if u think christianity is "idiotic"

[nogogma]

What makes you think I'm gay?

[metalicastarwars]

lol sry i was like on a sugar rush when i poasted that comment its your opoinon and we have ours

[Kalel8302]

@nogogma Who's more irrational? A man who believes in a god he doesn't see or a man who is offended by a god he doesn't believe in.

[FATGAINER100]

@metalicastarwars 1. Earth is not at the centre of the Universe, its at the spiral edge of the galaxy.

2. Earth has an elongated orbit around the sun, which means we are constantly moving closer, then further away from it.

3. The Sun doesnt give equal distribution of its rays - its day time nearly all the time in the south pole.

4. Those goosebumps are what smiple people get when they get all nationalistic, or emotional - nothing to do with God.

Id love to hear a rebuttel, thanks, R.

[metalicastarwars]

@FATGAINER100 wut dose this have to do with?

[redrumble3]

carman u are awsome and i love your songs i am going to do that skit today

[vsvillegas]

I LOVE CARMAN!!!!!!!!!!!!! **Ignorant people that don't recognize the annointing on this man.* For a CHANGE someone in the music industry does something different and creates performances that churches can actually use for plays and Youth events.

God bless him!

P.S. He truly is good lookin' ;) haha <3

sarita

[nogogma]

Carmine is not anointed.  He's delusional.

[missarahi]

Carmine is obviously not anointed, but Carman is ;P haha!!

[nogogma]

Being anointed is just another one of those brainwashing tools used in fundamentalist Christianity. Been there, done that. It's all a big scam and it's obvious you have been scammed by the biggest farce and fraud of all time. Christianity.

[carmenoellelliott]

Thank you... thank you Jesus! You have WON!

[onthefarm88]

how can you sit at a concert and listen to someone talk the whole time and try to act? i would expect some singing but then again i wouldnt want to hear carman sing because he sucks.

[julietluvsromeo08]

wow carman is hott......and an awesome christian........marry me! :P

[chaosman1233]

yah guys praise the lord and read the bible and ask for giveness each day and always tell the truth guys I love the lord

[DerSuperalbana]

Satan laughs as you eternally rot !

[bigjuicy91288]

i saw this after i got home from a harvest party for our church this was on tv when i got home i wanna see if there ne dramas doing htis if there is let me know

[bobbyh8905]

i really loved this halloween 3:16 tv special. carmen is a great singer

[cindydg]

We saw Carmen perform this in Houston years ago. Before he had a dance team w/ him, he traveled w/ one fellow who did all the music on a bunch of keyboards. This video doesn't do it justice!

[jesusfreakchild]

Praise The Lord! It is a blessing to be one of God's born again children! " Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us. " Romans 8:37 Because Jesus is the champion, He has made me more than a champion through His blood. He can do the same for you. All you have to do is repent, ask him to forgive you of your sins, and believe in your heart that He rose from the dead and confess with your mouth that He is Lord. Jonathan Moss

[deejd5256]

this song is just too great for words...praise the Lord!!!!

[Wilcox3]

Carman Needs To Come Back In Concert And Come Out With another Album, Its Been WAY TOO LONG!

[Beachangel1221]

I was at this live performance in Hendersonville Tn. It was unforgettable. That man knows how to stir up a crowd and boy can he dance. If anyone saw a concert from the RIOT tour you know what I mean.

[cindydg]

We got to see at least three of his tours, including RIOT. He is awesome in concert; most of his material is better live than CDs, where it can seem a bit cheesy. YWAM choreographed a most anointed mime to this, which our team did for several years. My sons did the boxing match part as a karate match..wowzers!

[Beachangel1221]

I agree about the cheesiness. I'd much rather see him live than play a CD. Its just not the same.

[raatje12]

It's so cool to do this drama yourself. it gets me every time we played it!

Try yourself!

[clswaringen]

One of the best CCM artist of all time. And he is still going a s great as ever

[mgriffis38]

I remember when I first heard this... had to be the eighties. It is just as powerful now as it was then. GREAT

[cindydg]

A true classic! Although, we can't do it for 'churches' - it's so old school many youth pastors think it's too old. So, we save it for our mime team to do out in public venues and mission trips to Mexico. We do the fight as a karate match! It flattens the crowd every time.

[desiree65332]

If it wasn't for God I would not have made it through my life. Through every storm he was there to help me. I give all the Glory to Jesus Christ. Thank you God.

[trumpet324]

very good song

[scarletdanielle]

Jesus is the CHAMPION!!!!

[54spiritedwill54]

This song has always given me chills every time I listen to it. In a very good way of coarse.

[FATGAINER100]

@54spiritedwill54 1. Earth is not at the centre of the Universe, its at the spiral edge of the galaxy.

2. Earth has an elongated orbit around the sun, which means we are constantly moving closer, then further away from it.

[JennDizzzle]

Check out the Video I made of this song.

[Denise3766]

one of the best songs that he has out

[cheburratorr]

superrr

[betonjen]

CARMAN!!!! god bless ya!!! i grew up listening to him and i'm now 24. he's still standing strong for the glory of god!!!! keep up the good work carman!!

[alexdorantes18]

mel gibson¿Ç?¿?

[lilmizzie27]

i honestly dont care what other people say about carman. he sings songs and gives them in such a different perspective to reach different people. He raps on some songs, sings country, does irish songs ... He's just trying to get the message out there. On an earlier taping of this, he explains this is just "how this could have happened". It's not making fun of the crucifixion in any way, it's just one persons perspective. And people are SALIVATING BECAUSE HE'S PRETTY! (:

[Tedschindler]

what is wrong with you ppls saying all this bs about carman and how he sings i bet none of you been to see him live you dont know the power of his words that he sings about jesus i know i should forgive you but i cant so hope you all burn in hell

[teachajax]

This is great!! This guy knows how to portray the gospel in a truly unique manner... keep going Carman!!Carman,Yo kids is absolutely fantastic too for the youngsters!!

[NinjaEthan]

Be ready or face God and go to hell for eternal life. Be saved for real to everyone who watches this video.

[dedinside]

stop trying to spread your belief with fear by threatening people with hell, its great to see medievil Superstition and fear still exist in the modern world...really, thanks for trying to keep the human race enslaved

[efacsirap]

I agree, dedinside. That's the wrong approach to any message! Are you an atheist or do you you just hate X-ian propaganda? I guess I'm wondering how you even KNOW of this video. Were you forced to watch it as a kid? Just wondering.

[dedinside]

was sent to a christian/catholic primary school it wasnt to hard to see thru the lies and brainwashing,found this page by accident,this comment space is to small a space for me to explain in full why i hate religion so much but at any rate i found this and saw a propaganda machine at work...im at war with mental slavery

[efacsirap]

It IS very odd, this guy's rock-star evangelism. Although you seem angry about his propaganda you're actually pretty passionate for us readers to know the truth (whatever that is). In my opinion you're not actually "dead" inside. You seem quite alive.

[cobrasexual]

Dedinside was heavily influenced by The Friday Club and eating chips off butcher paper.

[dedinside]

oh cobra! it was flashback from mr sherry searching for bullets in your jocks that made you say that!

[cobrasexual]

I'll belt you until you vomit for finding out about The Lord of The Rings present. Bastard child!

Have you seen Carman's wild west clip where he shoots Satan in the name of Jesus? Classic.

[tonym144]

Well, when I'm up in heaven with Jesus and enjoying the eternity that I've earned, I hope you will have changed your heart. I'd rather you be in heaven than have to suffer the defeat in store for Satan. It's not going to be Hell, it's going to be the lake of fire. Hell is a place of torture Satan devised for sinners. The lake of fire is a place destined for Satan, his followers, Death and Hell. It's a place of never-ending fire...I sincerely hope you don't end up there...

[dedinside]

Dream on fantasy boy what proof do you have? an old book and brainwashed followers is all you have, there is no god so wake up and smell the future and stop living a superstitious lie

[tonym144]

Well, how about the fact that I've had physical problems healed instantly? I've felt the power of God in my being. You, my friend, are the brainwashed person. This world has brainwashed you to believe the wrong things. We are both religious. I have faith in God. You have faith in science. But if I'm wrong, all I do is wink out of existence. If you are wrong, you spend an eternity in a lake of fire. Who has more to lose here? Certainly not me.

[dedinside]

Im wrong....I know the truth, God is a space fairy that lives in orbit around pluto...i also feel his power....prove that i am wrong, i bet you cant, I challenge you to prove me wrong

[tonym144]

Oh, I can...but by then, it will be too late for you. And you won't even have any marshmallows...

[rayne67501]

Ecuse you?? What you say??

[p3sixers]

Im happy that you know where you are going. I noticed something that you wrote. and im hoping its a typo. "when I'm up in heaven with Jesus and enjoying the eternity that I've earned," No one earns their salvation. it is a gift from God. I hope that you realize that salvation doesn't come by works. "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast." Ephesians 2:8-9 God Bless

[tonym144]

You may not want to hear it, but it's the truth. Some people NEED to hear it that way. "I have time, I'll worry about it later, it doesn't affect me." How many people have said these things and ended up dying sooner than they thought? And once you are dead, it's too late to change your mind then. This is the only life you are given. And you NEVER know when it will end. Gotta be ready. As the old saying goes, "get right, or get left."

[naomidahomey]

I agree with you. Some people have to be told bluntly or they will face God wondering what they did wrong because of so many passive so-called Christians. :)

[dedinside]

I wish this page would come in scratch n sniff mode...I think it would smell like secret guilty sex,hidden shame,self denial and brainwashed clean minds

[cobrasexual]

My favourite bit is when he does the kung-fu Jesus.If Jesus did a roundhouse, he could kick your head clean off.

[dedinside]

so can chuck norris...but at least he's real,for i hath seen the texas ranger walketh the earth

[dedinside]

A little boy is standing on top of a cliff, looking down at the sea and crying his eyes out. A priest approaches and says, "My child, why are you so upset?"

The little boy turns to him and says, "My mummy and daddy were in their car -- and it just rolled over the cliff and smashed on the rocks down there."

The priest slowly looks around him while unbuttoning his cassock and says, "It's just not your day, is it?"

[efacsirap]

yikes, dude.

[cobrasexual]

Wait, did he just say that Satan wears a sparkling cape? Even their version of hell sounds completely pussy.

PS Dedinside is still scared of Father Bohan

[dedinside]

sparkling capes and burning sensations sounds more like a vietnamese kids night on the town with gary glitter

[Singing4God456]

I love it when he said "you shut you'r face i wrote the book" YAY GOD!

[Joshypoo777]

does he have a wife?

[kalara24]

Myrthin you mean floridamusik we did this in our church up north that time i was in the drama team

[Myrthin]

I've alway's loved this. I had the cd when I was younger and I would play it non-stop. THx to whoever posted this.

[GodlyDrummer]

This song has always given me chills every time I listen to it. In a very good way of coarse.

[guineapigmaster]

my dad did this with other men from his church, and my grandma said it rocked!

[dannicalliope]

Our youth camp performed this one year and it was so powerful that I still get chills when I listen to it.

[kmax1940]

Jesus is the champion! great video!

[southern70526]

jesus is my champion
