  • I loved your poem! You did a great job. Please feel free to check out my channel here on youtube. I'm a newbie to reciting poetry, would love to get some feed back from you. Thanks!

  • That was tough dude.

  • @scamon01 NICE!! XOX

  • Hi, I enjoyed this.

    But I was just wondering about when you mention that faith is "evidence of things unseen" and that "faith provides the proof". But faith means precisely the opposite of this, i.e. believing in something without any evidence or proof.

    Sorry, I'm quite new to poetry and maybe I have missed the point

  • @philipdevlin69 Hey - it's a line from the Bible. It basically means that the object of the faith (God) can only be proven by the faith itself. It really only works for those who have faith, so it can kinda be circular, but for me, it captures it nicely. Thanks for your feedback!

  • @philipdevlin69 Nah, I think guy in the video is right. Faith is the trust in realities not yet beheld. Faith is the substance until you see for yourself because the one with faith sees it

  • IIIII LOOOVVVEEDDDDD THIIISSSSSSSSS ....AWESOME POEM SIR ....I WISH YOU COULD HEAR IT BUT THE ONE WHO DESERVES IT CAN HEAR IT GOD IS USING YOU TO SPEAK SO THIS IS MY STANDING OVATION TO YOU JESUS!!!

  • Wow- i liked this verse:

    Cause truth is elusive and sight can deceive

    In absence of certainty I bank on what I believe

  • Wow that was great! Love it!

  • Real talk, much love bro, thank you.

  • @99youngstunna Thanks - please subscribe!

  • @scamon01 Yeah, sure no problem homie.

  • awesome :)

  • Amen!

  • Thank you!

  • i absolutely love it. Check out my spoken word piece "Hancock"

  • amen

  • this is so inspiring. So much talent & you articulated my own definition of faith so beautifully eloquently that it makes me jealous.

  • I love your delivery. It's clean and unpretentious. Sometimes writers can get overly theatrical in their delivery and have you react to the performance aspect of their writing rather than the content.

    I sent you a vid response to this poem hope you like.

    el prophet the scribe elgin

  • @TheSubwaysurfer Thanks for the feedback - I approved the response. Love your passionate delivery.

  • Nice bro! Checkout my poetry on here if you can Search Christian rap Nameless. The one where I'm wearing a red shirt is the best one in my opinion.

  • Nice!!

  • Faith is the excuse idiots use to prop up a self-serving belief that can't be sustained by evidence.

  • @lonegroover So, the whole part about toleration and not presuming to dictate beliefs to any person, you disagree? You'd rather belittle those who believe instead of simply respectfully disagreeing? If you had actually listened to the poem, the point is that faith exists despite a lack of evidence, or even the presence of contrary evidence. If you don't share that, I respect that, without childish name calling, because I am sure of myself. The more you rail and whine, the more shaky you seem.

  • @scamon01 I didn't type a word about tolerance, nor dictating beliefs. Yes, faith exists because evidence and logic can't sustain a comforting myth; as I said - it's an excuse. I think your point about railing and whining is probably right, and it's telling that your own remarks are substantially more characteristic of these activities than mine. As you say, shaky, I'm afraid.

  • @lonegroover Yeah, that was my point genius. The poem talks about tolerance for non-belief or other beliefs. Grow up a little, and then maybe you can sit at the grown up table and talk like a big boy.

  • @scamon01 Casting aside these infantile, middle age myths requires a degree of growing up. Can you do that? I doubt it. So as for sitting at the grown up table, it looks like that's somewhere you've never been.

  • @lonegroover You keep using these words. I don't think they mean what you think they mean. "Middle Age?" Really? The myth of the existence of God is in its 40s? About to have a crisis and buy a flashy sportscar, ditch the wife and get a trophy girlfriend? Also, how is something both infantile and middle age at the same time? There's a reason why you're grooving alone, buddy.

  • @scamon01 I don't want to be unkind, so rather than mock you I'll help you. Look up "middle ages" in a dictionary or on Wikipedia.

  • @lonegroover I don't need a dictionary to read your drivel. You didn't say middle ages. You modified "myths" with "middle age," commonly used to refer to the period in a human's life when they are half-way between birth and death. As for your condescending, yet hilariously subliterate, commentary, I would modify you with a term that refers to the recess located halfway between the two buttocks of a human being. Check that dictionary if you don't understand. Wouldn't want to mock you.

  • @scamon01 Again, you've failed to understand straightforward English. I can help you in this particular instance but your general problem would probably be best addressed by you seeking out some sort of remedial English comprehension class. I'm sorry to tell you that you have literacy issues, which will continue to attract derision towards you, as they have here, until you rectify them.

    Here goes then. The term "middle age" can also mean "pertaining to the middle ages". Glad to help you here.

  • @scamon01 By the way, no surprises that a religious contributor to YouTube turns out to be educationally deficient. No offence.

  • @lonegroover None taken. By the way, no surprises that a prick who comments on other people's videos on youtube is deficient in the "sarcasm-recognition" skill. You are a humorless void of humanity, sir, but with an excellent vocabulary. Go forth and suck the souls of those dim enough to actually heed your drivel. Educationally deficient I am not, nor am I impressed by your self-important nonsense. Thanks for the help.

  • @scamon01 Happy New Year, fella. Hope it's a good one.

  • @lonegroover And to you, health and happiness.

  • @lonegroover What type of "EVIDENCE" do you need? your very EXISTENCE iself should be evidence enough to support a creator God. If you found a drawing or a photo lying in the street, you would conclude without question that an artist created it by virtue of the face that pictures dont spontaneously create themselves. If this logic applies to a pic make with ink, how much more does a complex human being point to a creator

    keep on listening to HIM!

  • Thanks for the feedback - hope the group enjoys it! Please don't forget to subscribe!

  • ok on content: Are you really willing to accept divine intervention? If you write because God gives you words that has pretty bad consequences... for one it means we don't have free will. If we don't have free will no one is obliged to take responsibly for their actions which is a dangerous and irresponsible place to end up...

    on poetry: I do like your work =]

  • Thanks for your feedback - I don't believe that my actions are orchestrated, but I am blessed with a gift that I did not create and I cannot take credit for. I do believe in free will, and I choose to listen and allow a message to flow through me. I agree that when people blame their actions on God, it's very irresponsible. But that doesn't mean I don't feel his presence and influence.

  • i lyke !!!

  • you're great!!

  • Nice, very nice. I think the strenght and power that the poem transmits, tells more abouth faith than the actual words... Dunno if I can make myself clear... ;)

    Again, nice. I subscribed to your videos. I hope I hear more of this stuff soon... ;)

  • Thank you. I think I understand perfectly. And thanks for the subscription, I put poems up fairly often.

  • Hebrews 11:1, for reference, incase anyone wants to read more on Faith.

  • This was alright!

  • this is just incredible. my favorite poem in a long time :) keep it up

  • That was really wonderful. It's hard to explain faith...and I run into that problem a lot in my encounters with people who are close to me who believe differently. I appreciate your words and thank you for this. I especially like the part about tolerating different beliefs. Religion doesn't change a person, but having faith seems to give them more strength.

    Abbey

  • Yeah, that's how I feel too. The strength and the peace of faith has always been more important to me than the details.

  • wow. i really like that.  not really into god myself but that was pretty sweet.

  • Thank you.

  • wow, dude..i really liked that.

  • It is about time I saw something like this. I was almost proud of you... but I have nowhere to keep pride, at all, even for those like you who help me remember just how it is I live, which a
