Not a very good one. It's ThreeNailsBand. I've been told that as a musician I need to have a MySpace page... What do you think? We're trying to get discovered.
Ya i think you should get on myspace too. if you have any questions about it i can help you. My myspace does a LOT better than my youtube haha. Just put your music on your page and add a bunch of friends.
I may be a month late on this comment, but some helpful information on Myspace. I have no idea your record label status, nor your goal in where you wish to take this music, but if you know where to look on Myspace you can chuck your music pretty far out there. Its a great way to promote your music and even though I have to admit, maintaining a Myspace as a band that is growing in fans, its well worth the effort if you are looking to go far. Take the both modern and old ways to promote the music
Hey TOTDLTF, everything you said is right except...........go back and only read what "Jesus said" his words pierce through all the wrong ways of man that you have seen, God can only be tested with pure faith when there is nothing left.
Thanks so much for the compliment brother! Obviously I have strong faith and a will to share it through music, You are my target audience... someone who doesn't normally listen to Christian music. I sincerely pray for a door to be opened for you!!
the text is pretty cool... we cant wait til judgement day i mean... that sounds pretty strong.... im not christian or anything, but the song is kinda chill, ill give you that...
Thanks so much brother. Awesome to know we are able to share our message around the world from music recorded and written in my basement a few months ago.
There are a lot of things which we dont know, people may have their beliefs but it is up to no one to question them because no matter what you believe in, who are you to say that yours are correct? And that others are wrong? We simply do not know. Love the song!
adekk9, God created man, with the FREEDOM OF CHOICE, 2 listen 2 HIS WILL, or dissobey! hopefully you come 2 know the father thro JESUS, & fall-in-love with him, & youll want 2 follow him! hes a wonderful teacher, shephard...blessings
After reading through some of this conversation, I have to say...
I'm not a christian, but I see no point in attacking your beliefs, but I dont think you should use bands like slayer as an example os satanism... It is not, In fact... Music like it is usually the only escape from a cruel world for some people... so do not say music like metal or death metal praises satan in any way. Some of it does.. But definitely not all of it. There is usually more of a purpose than that. Good job by the way.
Thanks bud, I appreciate that! I wouldn't attack Metal, quite honestly it's a massive part of my background (along with classical). I only used a band which is well known for Satanic overtones to provide an example of what others would or wouldn't say. BTW, my favorite bands at one time were Slayer, Mercyful Fate, Danzig...
I agree with what your saying, and I'm not attacking his beliefs.......I'm sharing my own oppion............and frustrations I've dealt in the church growing up.
Dude I love the 70's and 80's........I have no idea on how well you play or not, and I don't really care either.................I have studied all types of music, and I thought that if you guys are trying to be "christians" in your music thats fine I really don't give a shit! I personally think that if you ever want to make it in this life with your music, you need to come up with something better. I talk to people on the street in random, and they saw that christian music is boring.
Make it sound like the world with a strong message that could drop a person dead in his tracks. It needs to meet the needs of people that I "struggling". I've grown up in the church, and even felt like I was called to preach. I have a talent with music, and I was told that I'm missing out, because I'm not Glorifing God in my music........well how do you do that and make people fall in love with the sound, and message. How do you get to the point where someone who doesn't even belive in Jesus
will have the highest respect for the music, and the lyrics. People these days don't give a shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it is so damn annoited by God, then it would do a whole lot for anyone who listens to it.......don't you think?
I'm not talking about shredding, I've seen people do it, have friends who do it, and I do it.................yes it doesn't mean anything. I have finally realized that music is for people, and that it is the strongest tool in my opion that Satan uses to hinder people. I also believe that it is one of the greatest gifts! People don't make money or fame in the christian arena like the sexular industry does. I write music I feel at that moment in time, and I'm just saying there's nothing wrong
with they way you play or write or whatever it is that you guys like to do...........I have extremely high goals for this life, and I will get them at any cost against my life. Music means everything to me, and I feel that if your going to do something for GOD or at least be know for the whole
"GOD THING" it should be better the what this shity word is offering us as youth, and as adults................we really aren't awear of how musch music influences our life as a people. It makes me sick how God blesses these famous people, and doesn't do shit for his own!!!!!!!!!!!! I want my treasers here in this Life!!!!!!!!!!
Kinda hard to receive the fruits of labor when the crops aren't harvested yet. Our wine will be sweet, theirs will the bitter wine of the wrath og God. I've played for huge crowds, and enjoyed it. I've also played for coffe shops that I enjoyed just as well.
I still got to give you respect for doing what it is that you believe in.......I belive in God,and once professed myself being a christian, and know with the way I live my life I can't say that I am. Maybe God will do something with music, or maybe not, but whatever happens I do hope that it will get better.
If you believe, things will get better! I'm very imperfect, but His word says I'm a God, as we were made in His image. That means you are a God as well!! With the right motive and intention in your heart you can move mountains brother. I'm still prying for you!
I know that feelin... I have a tune named "Down Day" that many Christians don't seem to care for because I sang about the reality of having a down day. As if Christians don't have bad days or they always need upbeat music. You write what you feel and it's always good enough!
Well with the power of God christians should be able to do anything, but their mind is what hinders them. Where is the faith............with God all things are possible, so why not have something that would change the hearts of somone so cold. Even david did that for King saul.............with what?...............his music..............God annoited davids music.
Selective listening prevents anyone from hearing what they need to hear. That's like saying that reading the Bible will save you. There are two beings in the World: believers and no-believers. Non-believers have no problem attacking Christians, but wouldn't dare attack a band like Slayer. Why? Satan was given authority over this World, and resistance is the test to pass.
I'd love to meet you man. I think our sound is somewhat unique because it's 70s based, and Christian music in the 70s was stuff like Pat Boone (the two never converged). As far as a song like what you're describing... have you listened to Lead Them Back or Three Nails? I put my heart and soul into those songs.
i have heard of churches giving candy and treats to kids on the church bus to try to sweeten the deal so to speak to entice them to attend - then i think about Jesus healing people - the difference is that Jesus did good works for the glory of God and all that he did is a lesson to us about God - those that are drawn to God are seeking Him due to the work of the Holy Spirit - Jesus could have given away physical gifts or had a musical concert of heavenly purportions but He did things God's way
Amen and let it be done His way. God hasn't given us the gift to heal, and someday we won't need it. What we can do here on Earth is ask for His Holy Spirit to reveal His word to us (the Word must reveal itself to each man not through interpretation). I believe that if the first two commandments were kept in earnest the others would not be needed.
Christian music needs to get a whole lot better than what it is.........no offense taking, but you won't get today's kids interested with music like this.
Of 175,000 it's rated in the top 50 on Sound Boards. We aren't targeting kids anyways (obviously we are 7o's to 80's Rock). Why does everyone want fast. Fast doesn't equal better (I'm kind of an authority on that).
no one is taught correctly by human intelligence - it takes the Spirit of God to bring truth - take the ruling elite of the jewish synagoges in the days of Jesus - they taught everyone that Jesus would be a mighty king that would vanquish all their ( worldly ) enemies - that was wrong - but even so - God is able to save by faith anyone who understands that Jesus did vanquish all of our ( spiritual ) enemies - namely sin and death - we do not fear death or hell due to faith in the works of Jesus
the bible starts with little stuff and builds to the big stuff - the ten commandments were presented to prove that no man is able to achieve perfection ( worthy to stand in the presence of God ) - everyone in mind or deed breaks them - that is why God Himself decided to become a man ( Jesus Christ the Son ) and live a sinless life and then take the punishment ( eternal hell separation from God the Father ) for the sake of those whom God choses to save - no human can take any credit for salvation
any parent has a right to teach their children what seems fit - i think there are two main religions - God centered and human centered - all false religions and a lot of ' christianity ' is human centered - ( and false ) - human centered religion always makes the human person responsible for their afterlife destiny - ( i e you must do this or that to be worthy ) - the one true religion is what the bible teaches that even every human act of good is 100 % attributable to the grace of God period
why God allows people to trust false religions or self rather than mandate universal goodness ? you can ask Him when you leave this world - by why wait ? read the bible now - He may reveal the truth to you - the bible is able to discern the thoughts and intents of the human heart and it will convict you of your sins and show you that you must trust the work of Jesus - if you really want to know the truth and don't trust in this physical world - the bible is alive - the only source of our faith
only the sick need a doctor - whomever trusts in this natural world will will reap the rewards of this world - nothing - because it will all go away - the gospel of Jesus Christ is not of this world and is senseless to the natural world - God chose to have children of faith who beleive in the unseen spiritual truths despite what the natural world temporarily displays - i can't explain why except to quote scripture - i say read romans 9 - my hope is in spiritual realms that will not pass away
i am trying to ask nepnh12 what he is asking why about but the first time and maybe this time - it is going to the top of the comments instead of by his name - i guess i don't know how this works
read romans nine - what if God decides to put up with your ignorance and doubts and all the evil in the world - in order to show His love towards the meek and lowly believers ? understanding is not a human achievement - it is a God given spiritual gift - one you will not attain until you believe that He does exist - even that has to be given to you by God's sovereign chosing to let you know - God does not love you if you don't even know Him - else He would let you believe
Thank you Brother! The Word must reveal itself to each man, and Our Lord is just in His judgment. If He wasn't perfect in His judgment, eternity wouldn't be worth living.
if understanding is a given gift then why would god have forsaken the ast majority of people to what must be, in your mindundoubtedtly, false religions? Surely a God which is omnipotent and full of glory and beauty would imbibe those whom he took the time to create with the gift to understand his plight for them on earth? explain then, yay-sayer, how this can be and god can be in the one instance? For unless i have not been blessed with "understanding", im seeing that this doesnt add up :)
As well as the point i make about you reference, i also would like to call into question the validity of your reference. Certainly you and many othe people hold the word of the bible with the highest reverence, but it cannot be taken as an arguementital given that it is to be truted as a source of information. Preachingfrom the pages of a mouldy tome is, in my opinion, worthwile cause only due to the fact that, if not taken wholly literally, the message delivered provides an excellent guide...
... to live your life by in a peaceful and fullfilled way. However, i cannot agree with the ethics of some Christians who see it as their duty to "convert" (or as i like to refer to it, brainwash) people, ESPECIALLY young innocent children who cannot possibly comprehend the idea of placing their own ideas against the strongly spoken words of adults, spreading their beliefs (and i say beliefs with EMPHASIS) as the one and only truth.
Life is a journey, and perhaps Christians are right to believe that they follow the one true path to what may be an enchanted paradise called heaven. But it i no mans right, or womans for the sake of being non discriminant, to lead those who cannot willingly yet chose down a path that they may well feel the desire to turn off when they come to be more aware of the world..
Do not look for hatred in my words, for you shall find none, only pity for those who are treading a path they havent chose
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Just listened to a few of your tunes, I really like what you are about, but your style is a little too cliche for my taste. Great muso's, just needs a bit more "edge". Good to hear some music with substance though. Respect!
I just think that most Christian music relies on the lyrical substance at the expense of musical originality. Not that its bad, just too comercial and tends to follow "poppy" trends. Just my opinion, but I think you would be more engaging if your sound had a bit more tension or came from somewhere a bit unexpected. Hope that makes sense? No disrespect though, you guys are good.
I just listened to your Three Nails tune again. Its a bit closer to what I'm talking about. Hard to explian a sound in text but just needs a little extra something to distinguish it from all the other "mainstream" rock out there. Anyway, you guys are much better musicians than I am, so feel free to disregard!!!!!!!
Thanks bro, you don't have to be a musician to have a good ear. We intended these songs to sound a bit different than the mainstream pop sound that's so prevalent. As the message goes, we try to speak about the things others don't want to.... some subjects (like Three Nails song) need to be told in a "harsher" light, while others (like this one) are a bit more mellow. Would you describe us as 70s rock? Thanks again bud, I appreciate your opinion.
You've got it backwards... do you think the murders that happen daily have anything to do with religion, or lack of it? Are you thinking the Crusades had anything to do with Christians?
maybe your'e right maybe your'e wrong. I belive in science, you clearly don't so I won't be any rude at all.
But you have to admit religions are part of the war that's been going on ever since the humans made up with these ancient stories.
I don't know but what I believe is that we humans made these stories just because we wanted a higher power to rely on, a power that would make us feel safe, calm or in some way comfortable. I think that nowadays this has in some way getting out of hand.
I can understand that sentiment, I came from there! The problem is that too many people claim to be religious and aren't. That gives those of true faith a black eye of sorts. Also, many interpret and speak things in public that they know nothing of.. Scientifically: Why do Humans need to be so imuch more ntelligent, emotional, adaptable than the rest of the animal kingdom. Are we some kind of super anomaly? Highly improbable with the vast differences.
The term 'religious' means consistent, unchanging, regular. The term 'religion' means going to church, paying your tithe, doing what another human says you should. To me, 'religion' is a code of ethics that is personal, and 'everlasting life' refers to the legacy you leave behind by doing good deeds.
I agree that religion is the cause of many of the world's problems, but most people confuse religion and faith. Most churches are bound by their own doctrine which, more often than not, does not stand up to scriptural scrutiny. The word of God demands discipline but also TOLERANCE and LOVE.
Also, science and faith are not mutually exclusive, we tend to think that if something can be understood scientifically it can't be divine. Science doesn't disprove creation, it explains it.
Has science ever been wrong or unable to come to a "scientific" conclusion on anything? BTW, science requires comparison subjects... I know of only one life sustaining planet (according to astronomy- a science) and only one creature on that planet that is conscious of its existence. Science is imperfect, and changes. God is perfect and never changes. BTW, according to evolution, we should be quite different than we are today. Guessing you won't respond intelligently, but in slander & hate.
That's because science doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Science can only provide answers once those answers have been proven to be true. Meanwhile, you and people like you mindlessly embrace your religion without one ounce of skepticism. That's self-delusion, and not only is it stupid, it's also dangerous.
Not a very scientific description of science- "Science can only provide answers once those answers have been proven to be true". Makes as much sense as your next sentence. BTW, it would be selfless delusion, Christians are not big on the things of this world. Do you know anything at all about The Bible? A man of science would at minimum read The Bible if he were trying to disprove it, scientifically speaking that is.
How amusing. You sit here and claim I'm not making any sense, when it's you who blindly put your faith in scriptures that have been proven time and time again to be false and made up. Hypocritical, but entirely expected.
A famous philosopher allegedly said this; "True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."
Science doesn't claim to have all the answers yet, because unlike the bible, it requires its theories to be proven true, or else they are just that; theories.
I've been confirmated and thus I've had a priest read many passages of the bible for me. Furthermore, I've had it read for me when I was a child.
You keep deflecting everything I say, so you might aswell stop replying. You are engulfed in your superstitious beliefs, you waddle around in your irrationality and gladly eat up everything an old book has to say. It's pathetic and it's sickening and people like you are why this world is so full of problems.
I don't think my beef with you is whether or not I think your religion is rubbish - My beef begins only when you, or others like you wish to force your beliefs down upon me. If these beliefs however, can be backed by good arguments I'm naturally all ears. But if the only reason is that they're coming from an old book or an old priest, then it's a definite no-go.
That goes for everyone. Christians, Jews, Satan-worshippers, Muslims. Everyone. Do not poison the rest of us with your superstition.
If you're going to battle everything in the world that's religious you've got your work cut out. There are a lot of religions. BTW, who is Everyone & the rest of US? Atheists? Lastly, without old books there would be no new books. You can't learn anything from an OLD book?
Continue living ur life baased on a fiction adventure novel see if i care just dont include me by talking about it in a place that i read shit like youtube u ass
u beleive a fable with no proof watsoever? seems like someone was able to control u very easily. if i told u that u owe me 20$ will u send it based on belief plz
So, TGF87, what happens when you die? What is your opinion on that? Don't pigeonhole me - a lot of what you hear on these songs comes from my hands yet I do not profess to know the answer to that question, nor do I believe that any mortal has that answer; cloth or not. Nor do I put money in an envelope every week - nor do I attend church. Religion is many things to many people; other than the music, it's all internal; personal to me. No 'blind leading the blind' for me...
I don't know what happens when we die. I would like to find out, but I'd like to wait to wait atleast 60-70 years from now. However, I agree that religion is something personal and I wish every believer would keep it that way. Keep the drivel in your churches or in your heads, or at the very least out of politics and science.
Why would you want to find out what happens when you die? As religion goes, or anything else, if it's not shared, it's forgotten, and if you are religious you must share by the very doctrine of religion (you love others and want them to have eternal life). BTW, I would say the converse is true... keep Mans politics & science out of religion. God will not change for us. Landon (d0rkd0g) & I are both part of this ministry & though we may have some differences in belief we praise the same God.
Science is an attempt to explain that which is hidden to us. To me, organized religion (I said ORGANIZED) is a moneymaking scheme that plays on the sentient being's fear of death, promising everlasting life at a price to be paid in a little envelope every month. "Church" is a business... Behind the scenes, a 'bishop' to us is a 'district manager'. The self delusion part is when people blindly follow the direction of mere mortals who took a special marketing class. That is not what we are about.
Organized religion exists to make money and give people hope that their life is not in vain. Perhaps it was made up, but so was the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the recipes for everything you eat, need I continue? It began getting out of hand wghen some people realized they could use our fear of death to make money; religion then became less of a personal code and more of a collective.
You got me all wrong. Take a look at the bible. You have never talked to god....All the contradictions are there in the bible. First off atheism wouldnt lead to no laws come on. You play the guitar well so I know you can think critically, how could you believe the world is only thousands of years old. Just because Im not christian dose not mean I have no moral code, its just not corrupted with religion.
What are the contradictions? Where is the age of the Earth told? I have read the Bible in it's entirety. If you only answer one question, answer this one please... Have you ever read the Bible (all of it)?
How can you sit at your keyboard and type this? Promote peace through understanding, and criticism sure as heck isn't understanding. And please, do not just attack the Christian faith.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Wake up there is no god. Your a better player than I am but you are being lied to and if you have kids you are hurting them. Please dont just disregard this. If you have really read the bible how can you stand behind it. Please it is not the word of god it is the words of man.
How do you hurt your kids with the principals of the Bible. The world has gotten so far from God that most have heard about God but know nothing of God so have no faith. Have you ever read the word of God? When you say to me I am hurting my kids with the teachings of Christ, I tell you, you are on the side of Atheism, who's only intent is to destroy Christianity because a Christian life requires discipline to live. Wouldn't it be a crazy world with no laws?
No religion needed to estimate ethics, laws and being kind. Also the atheist way of life requires discipline if you want to establish things. :P
Just found this through your fast-picking video - impressive. ;)
Being religious doesn't always mean to hurt someone, i also grew up going to church and stuff, but the more i thought rationally about it, the less i can understand how people can be satisfied by that phantasy.
3 nails doesnt NEED a label.. The modern religious labels should be seeking 3 nails.. Very good fellas.Ty

will have the highest respect for the music, and the lyrics. People these days don't give a shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If it is so damn annoited by God, then it would do a whole lot for anyone who listens to it.......don't you think?
jtone20 2 years ago
I'm not talking about shredding, I've seen people do it, have friends who do it, and I do it.................yes it doesn't mean anything. I have finally realized that music is for people, and that it is the strongest tool in my opion that Satan uses to hinder people. I also believe that it is one of the greatest gifts! People don't make money or fame in the christian arena like the sexular industry does. I write music I feel at that moment in time, and I'm just saying there's nothing wrong

with they way you play or write or whatever it is that you guys like to do...........I have extremely high goals for this life, and I will get them at any cost against my life. Music means everything to me, and I feel that if your going to do something for GOD or at least be know for the whole

"GOD THING" it should be better the what this shity word is offering us as youth, and as adults................we really aren't awear of how musch music influences our life as a people. It makes me sick how God blesses these famous people, and doesn't do shit for his own!!!!!!!!!!!! I want my treasers here in this Life!!!!!!!!!!

Kinda hard to receive the fruits of labor when the crops aren't harvested yet. Our wine will be sweet, theirs will the bitter wine of the wrath og God. I've played for huge crowds, and enjoyed it. I've also played for coffe shops that I enjoyed just as well.

I still got to give you respect for doing what it is that you believe in.......I belive in God,and once professed myself being a christian, and know with the way I live my life I can't say that I am. Maybe God will do something with music, or maybe not, but whatever happens I do hope that it will get better.
jtone20 2 years ago
If you believe, things will get better! I'm very imperfect, but His word says I'm a God, as we were made in His image. That means you are a God as well!! With the right motive and intention in your heart you can move mountains brother. I'm still prying for you!

I know that feelin... I have a tune named "Down Day" that many Christians don't seem to care for because I sang about the reality of having a down day. As if Christians don't have bad days or they always need upbeat music. You write what you feel and it's always good enough!

Well with the power of God christians should be able to do anything, but their mind is what hinders them. Where is the faith............with God all things are possible, so why not have something that would change the hearts of somone so cold. Even david did that for King saul.............with what?...............his music..............God annoited davids music.

Selective listening prevents anyone from hearing what they need to hear. That's like saying that reading the Bible will save you. There are two beings in the World: believers and no-believers. Non-believers have no problem attacking Christians, but wouldn't dare attack a band like Slayer. Why? Satan was given authority over this World, and resistance is the test to pass.
Maytons 2 years ago
I'd love to meet you man. I think our sound is somewhat unique because it's 70s based, and Christian music in the 70s was stuff like Pat Boone (the two never converged). As far as a song like what you're describing... have you listened to Lead Them Back or Three Nails? I put my heart and soul into those songs.

i have heard of churches giving candy and treats to kids on the church bus to try to sweeten the deal so to speak to entice them to attend - then i think about Jesus healing people - the difference is that Jesus did good works for the glory of God and all that he did is a lesson to us about God - those that are drawn to God are seeking Him due to the work of the Holy Spirit - Jesus could have given away physical gifts or had a musical concert of heavenly purportions but He did things God's way
edlogic0 2 years ago
Amen and let it be done His way. God hasn't given us the gift to heal, and someday we won't need it. What we can do here on Earth is ask for His Holy Spirit to reveal His word to us (the Word must reveal itself to each man not through interpretation). I believe that if the first two commandments were kept in earnest the others would not be needed.
Maytons 2 years ago
Christian music needs to get a whole lot better than what it is.........no offense taking, but you won't get today's kids interested with music like this.
jtone20 2 years ago
Of 175,000 it's rated in the top 50 on Sound Boards. We aren't targeting kids anyways (obviously we are 7o's to 80's Rock). Why does everyone want fast. Fast doesn't equal better (I'm kind of an authority on that).

no one is taught correctly by human intelligence - it takes the Spirit of God to bring truth - take the ruling elite of the jewish synagoges in the days of Jesus - they taught everyone that Jesus would be a mighty king that would vanquish all their ( worldly ) enemies - that was wrong - but even so - God is able to save by faith anyone who understands that Jesus did vanquish all of our ( spiritual ) enemies - namely sin and death - we do not fear death or hell due to faith in the works of Jesus
edlogic0 2 years ago
the bible starts with little stuff and builds to the big stuff - the ten commandments were presented to prove that no man is able to achieve perfection ( worthy to stand in the presence of God ) - everyone in mind or deed breaks them - that is why God Himself decided to become a man ( Jesus Christ the Son ) and live a sinless life and then take the punishment ( eternal hell separation from God the Father ) for the sake of those whom God choses to save - no human can take any credit for salvation
edlogic0 2 years ago
any parent has a right to teach their children what seems fit - i think there are two main religions - God centered and human centered - all false religions and a lot of ' christianity ' is human centered - ( and false ) - human centered religion always makes the human person responsible for their afterlife destiny - ( i e you must do this or that to be worthy ) - the one true religion is what the bible teaches that even every human act of good is 100 % attributable to the grace of God period
edlogic0 2 years ago
why God allows people to trust false religions or self rather than mandate universal goodness ? you can ask Him when you leave this world - by why wait ? read the bible now - He may reveal the truth to you - the bible is able to discern the thoughts and intents of the human heart and it will convict you of your sins and show you that you must trust the work of Jesus - if you really want to know the truth and don't trust in this physical world - the bible is alive - the only source of our faith
edlogic0 2 years ago
only the sick need a doctor - whomever trusts in this natural world will will reap the rewards of this world - nothing - because it will all go away - the gospel of Jesus Christ is not of this world and is senseless to the natural world - God chose to have children of faith who beleive in the unseen spiritual truths despite what the natural world temporarily displays - i can't explain why except to quote scripture - i say read romans 9 - my hope is in spiritual realms that will not pass away

to the nay - sayers :
read romans nine - what if God decides to put up with your ignorance and doubts and all the evil in the world - in order to show His love towards the meek and lowly believers ? understanding is not a human achievement - it is a God given spiritual gift - one you will not attain until you believe that He does exist - even that has to be given to you by God's sovereign chosing to let you know - God does not love you if you don't even know Him - else He would let you believe
edlogic0 2 years ago
Thank you Brother! The Word must reveal itself to each man, and Our Lord is just in His judgment. If He wasn't perfect in His judgment, eternity wouldn't be worth living.
Maytons 2 years ago
if understanding is a given gift then why would god have forsaken the ast majority of people to what must be, in your mindundoubtedtly, false religions? Surely a God which is omnipotent and full of glory and beauty would imbibe those whom he took the time to create with the gift to understand his plight for them on earth? explain then, yay-sayer, how this can be and god can be in the one instance? For unless i have not been blessed with "understanding", im seeing that this doesnt add up :)
imboblolgodie 2 years ago
As well as the point i make about you reference, i also would like to call into question the validity of your reference. Certainly you and many othe people hold the word of the bible with the highest reverence, but it cannot be taken as an arguementital given that it is to be truted as a source of information. Preachingfrom the pages of a mouldy tome is, in my opinion, worthwile cause only due to the fact that, if not taken wholly literally, the message delivered provides an excellent guide...
imboblolgodie 2 years ago
... to live your life by in a peaceful and fullfilled way. However, i cannot agree with the ethics of some Christians who see it as their duty to "convert" (or as i like to refer to it, brainwash) people, ESPECIALLY young innocent children who cannot possibly comprehend the idea of placing their own ideas against the strongly spoken words of adults, spreading their beliefs (and i say beliefs with EMPHASIS) as the one and only truth.
imboblolgodie 2 years ago
Life is a journey, and perhaps Christians are right to believe that they follow the one true path to what may be an enchanted paradise called heaven. But it i no mans right, or womans for the sake of being non discriminant, to lead those who cannot willingly yet chose down a path that they may well feel the desire to turn off when they come to be more aware of the world..
Do not look for hatred in my words, for you shall find none, only pity for those who are treading a path they havent chose
imboblolgodie 2 years ago
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

I just think that most Christian music relies on the lyrical substance at the expense of musical originality. Not that its bad, just too comercial and tends to follow "poppy" trends. Just my opinion, but I think you would be more engaging if your sound had a bit more tension or came from somewhere a bit unexpected. Hope that makes sense? No disrespect though, you guys are good.
BlackAndBluez 2 years ago
I just listened to your Three Nails tune again. Its a bit closer to what I'm talking about. Hard to explian a sound in text but just needs a little extra something to distinguish it from all the other "mainstream" rock out there. Anyway, you guys are much better musicians than I am, so feel free to disregard!!!!!!!
BlackAndBluez 2 years ago
Thanks bro, you don't have to be a musician to have a good ear. We intended these songs to sound a bit different than the mainstream pop sound that's so prevalent. As the message goes, we try to speak about the things others don't want to.... some subjects (like Three Nails song) need to be told in a "harsher" light, while others (like this one) are a bit more mellow. Would you describe us as 70s rock? Thanks again bud, I appreciate your opinion.

Without the religions there wouldn't be any war on this world.

You've got it backwards... do you think the murders that happen daily have anything to do with religion, or lack of it? Are you thinking the Crusades had anything to do with Christians?

maybe your'e right maybe your'e wrong. I belive in science, you clearly don't so I won't be any rude at all.
But you have to admit religions are part of the war that's been going on ever since the humans made up with these ancient stories.
I don't know but what I believe is that we humans made these stories just because we wanted a higher power to rely on, a power that would make us feel safe, calm or in some way comfortable. I think that nowadays this has in some way getting out of hand.
Karlbeerg 2 years ago
I can understand that sentiment, I came from there! The problem is that too many people claim to be religious and aren't. That gives those of true faith a black eye of sorts. Also, many interpret and speak things in public that they know nothing of.. Scientifically: Why do Humans need to be so imuch more ntelligent, emotional, adaptable than the rest of the animal kingdom. Are we some kind of super anomaly? Highly improbable with the vast differences.
Maytons 2 years ago
The term 'religious' means consistent, unchanging, regular. The term 'religion' means going to church, paying your tithe, doing what another human says you should. To me, 'religion' is a code of ethics that is personal, and 'everlasting life' refers to the legacy you leave behind by doing good deeds.
d0rkd0g 2 years ago
I agree that religion is the cause of many of the world's problems, but most people confuse religion and faith. Most churches are bound by their own doctrine which, more often than not, does not stand up to scriptural scrutiny. The word of God demands discipline but also TOLERANCE and LOVE.
Also, science and faith are not mutually exclusive, we tend to think that if something can be understood scientifically it can't be divine. Science doesn't disprove creation, it explains it.

Science is always evolving. Religion has been static since the bronze age goat herders came up with it, after eating bad mushrooms.
Please do us a favor and never ever mix science with religion. One is a huge collective self-delusion, the other is not.
TGF87 2 years ago
Has science ever been wrong or unable to come to a "scientific" conclusion on anything? BTW, science requires comparison subjects... I know of only one life sustaining planet (according to astronomy- a science) and only one creature on that planet that is conscious of its existence. Science is imperfect, and changes. God is perfect and never changes. BTW, according to evolution, we should be quite different than we are today. Guessing you won't respond intelligently, but in slander & hate.
Maytons 2 years ago
That's because science doesn't pretend to be something it's not. Science can only provide answers once those answers have been proven to be true. Meanwhile, you and people like you mindlessly embrace your religion without one ounce of skepticism. That's self-delusion, and not only is it stupid, it's also dangerous.
TGF87 2 years ago
Not a very scientific description of science- "Science can only provide answers once those answers have been proven to be true". Makes as much sense as your next sentence. BTW, it would be selfless delusion, Christians are not big on the things of this world. Do you know anything at all about The Bible? A man of science would at minimum read The Bible if he were trying to disprove it, scientifically speaking that is.
=Dave
Maytons 2 years ago
How amusing. You sit here and claim I'm not making any sense, when it's you who blindly put your faith in scriptures that have been proven time and time again to be false and made up. Hypocritical, but entirely expected.
A famous philosopher allegedly said this; "True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."
Science doesn't claim to have all the answers yet, because unlike the bible, it requires its theories to be proven true, or else they are just that; theories.

Maytons 2 years ago
I've been confirmated and thus I've had a priest read many passages of the bible for me. Furthermore, I've had it read for me when I was a child.
You keep deflecting everything I say, so you might aswell stop replying. You are engulfed in your superstitious beliefs, you waddle around in your irrationality and gladly eat up everything an old book has to say. It's pathetic and it's sickening and people like you are why this world is so full of problems.

I don't think my beef with you is whether or not I think your religion is rubbish - My beef begins only when you, or others like you wish to force your beliefs down upon me. If these beliefs however, can be backed by good arguments I'm naturally all ears. But if the only reason is that they're coming from an old book or an old priest, then it's a definite no-go.
That goes for everyone. Christians, Jews, Satan-worshippers, Muslims. Everyone. Do not poison the rest of us with your superstition.
TGF87 2 years ago
If you're going to battle everything in the world that's religious you've got your work cut out. There are a lot of religions. BTW, who is Everyone & the rest of US? Atheists? Lastly, without old books there would be no new books. You can't learn anything from an OLD book?

So, TGF87, what happens when you die? What is your opinion on that? Don't pigeonhole me - a lot of what you hear on these songs comes from my hands yet I do not profess to know the answer to that question, nor do I believe that any mortal has that answer; cloth or not. Nor do I put money in an envelope every week - nor do I attend church. Religion is many things to many people; other than the music, it's all internal; personal to me. No 'blind leading the blind' for me...
d0rkd0g 2 years ago
I don't know what happens when we die. I would like to find out, but I'd like to wait to wait atleast 60-70 years from now. However, I agree that religion is something personal and I wish every believer would keep it that way. Keep the drivel in your churches or in your heads, or at the very least out of politics and science.
TGF87 2 years ago
Why would you want to find out what happens when you die? As religion goes, or anything else, if it's not shared, it's forgotten, and if you are religious you must share by the very doctrine of religion (you love others and want them to have eternal life). BTW, I would say the converse is true... keep Mans politics & science out of religion. God will not change for us. Landon (d0rkd0g) & I are both part of this ministry & though we may have some differences in belief we praise the same God.
Maytons 2 years ago
Science is an attempt to explain that which is hidden to us. To me, organized religion (I said ORGANIZED) is a moneymaking scheme that plays on the sentient being's fear of death, promising everlasting life at a price to be paid in a little envelope every month. "Church" is a business... Behind the scenes, a 'bishop' to us is a 'district manager'. The self delusion part is when people blindly follow the direction of mere mortals who took a special marketing class. That is not what we are about.
d0rkd0g 2 years ago
Organized religion exists to make money and give people hope that their life is not in vain. Perhaps it was made up, but so was the Declaration of Independence, the Magna Carta, the Bill of Rights, the Constitution, the recipes for everything you eat, need I continue? It began getting out of hand wghen some people realized they could use our fear of death to make money; religion then became less of a personal code and more of a collective.
d0rkd0g 2 years ago
You got me all wrong. Take a look at the bible. You have never talked to god....All the contradictions are there in the bible. First off atheism wouldnt lead to no laws come on. You play the guitar well so I know you can think critically, how could you believe the world is only thousands of years old. Just because Im not christian dose not mean I have no moral code, its just not corrupted with religion.
