Love the song, but the one and only video response needs to be removed because the Mormon 'church' is an anti-Christian apostate religion... They teach salvation by faith plus works (heretical) - The even teach that Jesus was the brother of Satan and only recently let African Americans enter their false priesthood system. Originally, they taught that black skin was the curse for being a coward in another life.
There is nothing absolutely nothing that is too far or too impossible for the Lord to reconcile with His blood. I was once a muslim and then I became an atheist .... and now I am praising the Lord and giving messages and bible studies. I look back at my life and I marvel at the mercy and grace that is in our Lord Jesus
The Bible says that the preaching of God's salvation is foolishness to those who don't believe. In other words, you yourself have to experiece it to know what it is, and means. I was once without faith, a very worldly person, without direction, love, hope or anything else - pursuit of money and pleasure the only things I believed you could get in this life, despite suffering. How glad I was to discover when Jesus converted me that this is NOT the case - He lives, and now so do I truly live!
On my channel, I have a website listed that really does a good job of explaining the gospel and salvation. Its the scribd one (for any who are interested).
@americansoccergod I didn't say Christians were evil---I said the Christian belief system was evil.
The concept of "hell" (being tortured forever) is surely the most despicably evil doctrines ever conceived. Especially in the way it has been (and still is) used to induce fear and terror in order to manipulate the vulnerable and coerce their submission.
Because hell threats are an integral part of Christianity and it's recruitment process, I consider this belief system evil.
@sweetsweatyfeet well then i'm sorry that u will have to suffer it for eternity. Hell wasn't created for us, it was created for the demons, but God can't be joined with that which is sinful. That's why we must put on Jesus' righteousness and praise God for eternity. I'm praying for your salvation. But the fact that hell is used is only to point towards the new life that comes from Christ. Romans 5:18b-through one Man's righteous act the free gift came to all men, resulting in justification.
@americansoccergod I won't "have to suffer" and neither will anyone else because hell doesn't exist. Nor does heaven or the any of the ludicrous claims from that book of bronze age fables. What you call "righteousness" is just cult language derived from the superstitions prevalent in the ancient middle east. Liberate yourself from your preconceptions and you'll see Christianity for all it really is---a fear based control system of bronze age ignorance.
Wow, how nice of you to come comment on a Christian hymn with the sole intention of bashing the religion of billions of people. Christianity (and Judaism) were formed during periods before and after the Bronze Age. You obviously have never read (or understood) the Bible, as it is anything but a control system. During the periods in which the entire Bible was written, the authors (Jews and later, the Christians) were being persecuted/enslaved. Ever heard of a martyr?
@mikeyjlickitraw Why do you regard condemnation of an idea as if I was attacking someone's character?--(Something I didn't do). Christianity falls under the category of IDEAS and therefore has no special status or immunity from criticism.
Nor should it in light of the fact your belief threatens non-believers like me with eternal torture (just like some "benevolent" Christian did in the comment up). That is infinitely more offensive than any criticism I have about Christianity--think about it.
@sweetsweatyfeet Just saw your comment, and want you to know you actually are half right! Hell and burning everlasting punishment IS evil - but it is also NOT a Bible or Christian doctrine! Christian does not necessarily mean Christian - and these teachings are a blatant perversion of scripture, introduced by the Catholic institution centuries ago. I recommend you watch programs on 3abn.org - THIS is Bible Christianity! You will learn a very great deal (I never knew previously either!)
@Moongold7 Sorry, the sentence starting "Christian does not necessarily mean Christan", should read "Catholic does not necesarily mean "Christian" - typo!
@Moongold7 Well thank you for having a sane and rational perspective on Christianity though I'm sure many Christians will disagree with you. I may be an atheist but I'm not too heard hearted to appreciate your more benevolent and thoughtful approach to Christian belief.
@sweetsweatyfeet You obviously haven't experienced it in your own life - I was once where you were - then was miraculously converted. Jesus opens the eyes Himself through the Holy Spirit. It is a very definite experience, and totally life-changing. That was 35 years ago, and my life has ever since been truly happy, peaceful and SO enhanced! God supports, sustains, blessed and guides - as He is Creator of the entire Universe, you just can't get any better than that!
@Moongold7 No creator like this exists. Like many others who are emotionally captured (brainwashed) by various theologies---you are deluded. There are many like you however who have taken stock, returned to reason and critical thinking and gotten their "bullshit meters" working again. They report a happiness and liberation of the mind like none they've ever experienced.
They also admit (bewildered and embarrassed) how they could have ever fallen for such crap in the first place.
The formation of the earth started 4.54 billion years ago by accretion of the solar nebula. Then after the late heavy bombardment some 3.5 billion years ago the first single cell organisms formed which over billions of years slowly evolved to multicellular organisms like us. If you need evidence for all of this I suggest you visit a museum of natural history or (and this may be a crazy idea) READ A FUCKING BOOK!!!!
@janjohandealgenman I think that's called the theory of evolution right? Isn't it a theory? Funny...you say as if it were fact. To this day, no linking species can be found which proves that macroevolution (the evolution of one species into an entirely different one) really exists. I don't mean to condescend, but in all honesty, I think you're all zeal. I'm willing to wager that you don't really understand the theory of evolution yourself. It's not my intention to sound mean in any way.
Funny how you say theory as if the bible is fact lol. And maybe you should take my advice on reading a book seriously because if you had you'd know macro evolution has been proven. Anyway I'm not going to waste my energy explaining it to you i'll give you a link with a very good article which I know you're not going to read anyway but I like to think you're willing to educate yourself. it's talkorigins[dot]org/faqs/comdesc/ .
@janjohandealgenman If there were irrefutable, concrete evidence it would no longer be a theory, would it? To be honest, I don't have the attention span to read all of that. I would much rather you talk this out with me, anyway. You've taken the liberty of voicing your convictions on a Christian forum, so you should stand by them and give a defense for them. "Hit and run" tactics don't become you, especially not if you claim to be a rational intellectual. You should enjoy the debate.
It is no longer considered a theory within the scientific community actually. And i do enjoy a debate but not with someone whom i have to chew out everything for. I will give you some things to think about that will hopefully inspire you to read the article I provided for you. You are clearly not at all aware of the current state that the theory of evolution is in. It is now for more extensive than the original by darwin. Insights in dna and genomes have provided (1/2)
@janjohandealgenman In the scientific community, it may not be considered a theory. But the scientific community has also held in the past that God created the universe and that the planets revolved around Earth. So until the scientific community publishes works firmly establishing the theory of evolution as fact with equally firm proof (meaning a linking species), and no longer a theory, it's irrelevant what they believe to be fact.
the most irrefutable evidence ESPECIALLY for macro evolution. For example it is impossible to explain the enormous amounts of junk-genes in our (human) dna without common descent. And this is just one example out of millions that not only proves evolution but is inpossible to incorporate in ANY OTHER theory that is not circular or trivial in nature. I will leave it at that and will not respond anymore untill you're up to date with the status quo of the fact that is evolution.
@janjohandealgenman Well I see your point and maybe there really are that many examples, but if you'd re-read my argument, you'd see that that was not my main point. My point was that not one linking species can be found, nor has one been found, that proves that one species has transformed into an entirely different one over time. Because macro evolution does not exist. All of those premises that SUGGEST evolution are hollow if scientists can't produce a linking species. Which they can't.
I just had to reply one more time because you completely misunderstand what qualifies as evidence. You keep stressing that no "missing link" fossil has been found. I'm not sure what you mean by that, it is a common misunderstanding that there has to be like a duck with a crocodiles head to prove they ar related or something. But change is gradual, there ARE entire lists of transitional fossils that clearly show macroevolution happening. Look it up its there
The evidence that is present in our dna is does not need macroevolution a priori to prove it. That would make it circular and i already said it was nor cicular or trivial. Just read the goddamn article and you never have to have this discussion with anyone anymore. Fossils are although very strong evidence BY FAR not the only pillar that foundates evolution.
@janjohandealgenman The evidence in our DNA is suggestive, not conclusive. As is all the other evidence. It could just as easily mean that we come from a common Creator instead of a common ancestor. The fossils are not only important, they're central to the entire argument. No linking species means that all you have is inconclusive facts. And theories. Which is why macro evolution is just a theory. If the article has proof of a linking species, I'd be happy to read it. =]
To me this is classic for any christian ( i do have a few christian friends) in the sense that since they "feel" and not "know" they are right something else "must" be wrong even though they can't back it up so they resort to illogical conclusions based on no research at all. But here is an interesting occurence, I used to debate with one friend over and over again and did not convince him about evolution. (1/2)
Then one day he went to some christian festival or something where there was a stand with christians who incorporated evolution in their believe. And he was asking questions about evolution to them and next thing thing you know he told me that you can indeed not denie evolution but that he is still christian because there is no reason why god couldn't have started it all. And now the interesting bit: ALL OF the information he got from those christians was EXACTLY the same as I gave him.
That shows that they (and you) can only use logic if it doesn't interfere with your believes. I don't think I can make it any clearer for you that you have no feet to stand on when it comes to creation in your way. Take my friends example and visit site's or whatever about evolution and christianity or whatever and see if you are more comfortable about accepting evolution that way. If you don't wish to do this please dont EVER ask anyone to proof evolution because it's wasted effort on you.
@janjohandealgenman The evidence in our DNA could easily suggest that we come from a common Creator instead of a common biological ancestor. The fossils aren't just important, they're central to the case for macro evolution. Without them (or it), all you have is inconclusive facts and some theories. Which is why it's still called a theory. If the article does have indisputable proof of a linking species' existence, I'd be happy to read it. Seriously...=]
"The evidence in our DNA could easily suggest that we come from a common Creator instead of a common biological ancestor." This sentence proofs that not only do you not understand my previous comment where I explicitly stated that "it is impossible to incorporate in ANY OTHER theory that is not circular or trivial in nature" and thats not my opinion that is how logic works. But more important it proves that you are selfrighteous enough to dismiss evidence that you DON"T KNOW OF
No you fucking selfrighteous moron. How dare you say anything like "The evidence in our DNA could easily suggest that we come from a common Creator instead of a common biological ancestor. " If you haven't read anything about it HOW FUCKING SELFRIGHTEOUS must you be?????? I said it two times already and i'll say it again IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY OTHER THEORY. I am through with you. People who just make up crap like you should be excluded from youtube.
@janjohandealgenman Hebrews 11:1 states that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Besides pages of evidence for creation, this is the best biblical evidence i can offer you. If you don't believe the bible, then I'll "shake the dust off of my feet" when I leave this song.
@ThatKidWithTheVideos - Yep, there is! I once thought as you did, and Jesus converted me by His own touch and power. I was wild, on drugs and lived non-stop partying and self-destruct life. He gave me peace that only a person can obtain when they receive Him as their Saviour. My life changed forever and I've never looked back. Don't judge what you haven't yourself experienced!
@ilovechairmanmeow - Yep, there is! I once thought as you did, and Jesus converted me by His own touch and power. I was wild, on drugs and lived non-stop partying and self-destruct life.

@Moongold7 What you're experiencing is a crutch. Unfortunately, the majority of people who "find" God do it because they had no self control, like you. It's always people who fucked their lives up on drugs who preach the loudest. I personally have self control and don't need to resort to the lord to stay alive or out of jail.
@ilovechairmanmeow Look, I just want to say I am very deeply sorry for whatever reasons you have for cursing the LORD. Sometimes, even those who claim to be Christ followers shame His name by wearing it and doing very hateful things, and I am sorry if that is the case. But I just want you to know that God loves you and that He demonstrated that by sending His Son Jesus to be crucified and then raised Him to life so that we can be free from sin and death.
@somaliaproject What you're saying sounds like dungeons and dragons. Seriously. People who believe that stuff are crazy. I can see people 2000 years ago believing it because they were stupid, but c'mon.
@ilovechairmanmeow God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so too we might walk in newness of life. (Romans 5:8, 6:3, 4)
@somaliaproject That was written by man, probably not even inspired by God. You have to look at the amount of times the bible has been translated, retranslated, rewritten, edited by various churches throughout history to fit their personal beliefs and strengthen political power. Believing in Christ and God and love is something I can get behind, but the religion that has taken shape over the last 2000 years is the work of corrupt men as was foretold in Acts 20:29,30.
@ilovechairmanmeow Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1, 2)
@somaliaproject So please don't give me the bullshit psychological 'trick' verses that were put there by people OBVIOUSLY trying to attract more members to their church. I mean, "no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" is undoubtedly going to attract people who have fucked up some facet of their life, and are desperate for forgiveness. How can you think something that created the entire universe would actually judge you? Pretty sure God is above that. Christianity is an evil trick.
@TheJonFawcett What excactly was it about this beautiful video that caused you to have to use such foul language? Didn't like it or believe it? Why couldn't you just move on instead of showing us what a potty mouth you have?
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. I play the piano and organ. Today (August 22), I played this as the closing hymn. It is #858 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship.
@ 21maranatha - very true - old but very worthy and still relevant and think it will always be....I LOVE it when I am singing in the church choir leading the congregation down the aisle to the altar singing this tune......it feels like Christ is walkiing with us...a feeling you just cant describe...
As an English guy, I have always loved hymns to be played by an organ and sung by a choir, but this version is sooo good. Its also re-assuring to know, after reading the posts below, that in the current world of violence, heart break, broken dreams, war and hatred the spirit of The Lord still moves across the face of the earth and through striving to live in Christ's image we can make this a better place for all -

Praise the Lord of hosts who is the Alpha and the omega! The king of kings, the LORD of Lords! For non can compare to his glory, for God alone is perfect!
Thanks for posting - I woke up just after 3am with this beautiful song in my head. We are so blessed to be able to hear this. May you be blessed in all that you do.
Everyone who is reading this comment, please click on my username for my videos I made about the The Truth of the World. I have found out what the truth of life is, the truth of the world, and the truth of God. Please, I really want people to watch and listen what I have to say. No more living in false reality, no more living in illusions, no more thinking there is no way out......its time to lead your life into The Truth of the World!!!!!!!!!
Two thousand years of blind denial. You are following pale illusions. As you listen to the false preachers. You delight in this ignorant slavery. The enslavery that is chist. He is the ultimate deception of life. Adorning his empty words. Drown your mind his weakened holiness. The parasite of arrogance. Satan appears to halt this endless folly. Open your eyes and see the dark master. As he crushes your savior into the ground. The blood of christ washes along the shores of hell.
If someone credits something to God, generally what it means is that they haven't a clue, so they're attributing it to an unreachable, unknowable sky-fairy.
no i will not it is my athiests right to speak my mind wherever i am unlike when we were oppressed by the church for thouthands of years if you ask were all the hatred comes form...well all i have to say is you started it
P.S the found the missing link so you can stop worring
well to bad god didn't foresee that i was born without legs therefor i cannot bow to him and that i was also born without a tongue therefor i cannot confess to god.
P.S
they found the missing link you can call stop worrying and enjoy life.
There is more then our literal knees that will bow to God... He loves you and is waiting to forgive you and take all your hatred and bitterness and give you love, peace and joy. I will pray for you.
God has a plan for everyones life!! It doesnt matter if you have no knees or tongue, what matters is your heart! You can confess of your sins without arms, or legs, or missing knees! God loves you no matter what is wrong with your body! The Lord doesn't pay attention to the outside what matters is the inside! I will pray for you!
i do have a god and it is the sun, it gives me food,light, and all that is needed to live....and at least i can see the sun unlike your so called "God"
"God IS light and in him is no darkness at all" - I John 1:5
Rev 1:7 "..EVERY eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. "
Romans 10:9-10
'That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved'.
Alelluia!!!!!!! Amazing how atheists will believe in black holes because of their "effects" and yet deny there is a God in spite of all the "effects" around them.
I am an ELCA Lutheran from South Carolina. Today (Feb. 8), we sang this as our Hymn of the Day. It is #858 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. I play the piano and organ. Just thought I'd share.
this is one of my favorite hymns and I have never heard someone do it such justice. You have an amazing god given gift there. I will pray that you continue to glorify the lord with it.
If you can find it, listen to Susan Ann Lueneburg's cover of this hymn. Another singer who does this hymn justice. I love Fernando's voice, but Susan's got such a pure voice, it brings tears to my eyes just to listen to her sing this, and makes me want to just shout the lyrics out from the depths of my being...

I'm not sure what you mean by that, it is a common misunderstanding that there has to be like a duck with a crocodiles head to prove they ar related or something. But change is gradual, there ARE entire lists of transitional fossils that clearly show macroevolution happening. Look it up its there

The evidence that is present in our dna is does not need macroevolution a priori to prove it. That would make it circular and i already said it was nor cicular or trivial. Just read the goddamn article and you never have to have this discussion with anyone anymore. Fossils are although very strong evidence BY FAR not the only pillar that foundates evolution.
janjohandealgenman 10 months ago
@janjohandealgenman The evidence in our DNA is suggestive, not conclusive. As is all the other evidence. It could just as easily mean that we come from a common Creator instead of a common ancestor. The fossils are not only important, they're central to the entire argument. No linking species means that all you have is inconclusive facts. And theories. Which is why macro evolution is just a theory. If the article has proof of a linking species, I'd be happy to read it. =]

To me this is classic for any christian ( i do have a few christian friends) in the sense that since they "feel" and not "know" they are right something else "must" be wrong even though they can't back it up so they resort to illogical conclusions based on no research at all. But here is an interesting occurence, I used to debate with one friend over and over again and did not convince him about evolution. (1/2)
janjohandealgenman 10 months ago
Then one day he went to some christian festival or something where there was a stand with christians who incorporated evolution in their believe. And he was asking questions about evolution to them and next thing thing you know he told me that you can indeed not denie evolution but that he is still christian because there is no reason why god couldn't have started it all. And now the interesting bit: ALL OF the information he got from those christians was EXACTLY the same as I gave him.
janjohandealgenman 10 months ago
That shows that they (and you) can only use logic if it doesn't interfere with your believes. I don't think I can make it any clearer for you that you have no feet to stand on when it comes to creation in your way. Take my friends example and visit site's or whatever about evolution and christianity or whatever and see if you are more comfortable about accepting evolution that way. If you don't wish to do this please dont EVER ask anyone to proof evolution because it's wasted effort on you.

@janjohandealgenman The evidence in our DNA could easily suggest that we come from a common Creator instead of a common biological ancestor. The fossils aren't just important, they're central to the case for macro evolution. Without them (or it), all you have is inconclusive facts and some theories. Which is why it's still called a theory. If the article does have indisputable proof of a linking species' existence, I'd be happy to read it. Seriously...=]

"The evidence in our DNA could easily suggest that we come from a common Creator instead of a common biological ancestor." This sentence proofs that not only do you not understand my previous comment where I explicitly stated that "it is impossible to incorporate in ANY OTHER theory that is not circular or trivial in nature" and thats not my opinion that is how logic works. But more important it proves that you are selfrighteous enough to dismiss evidence that you DON"T KNOW OF

No you fucking selfrighteous moron. How dare you say anything like "The evidence in our DNA could easily suggest that we come from a common Creator instead of a common biological ancestor. " If you haven't read anything about it HOW FUCKING SELFRIGHTEOUS must you be?????? I said it two times already and i'll say it again IT IS NOT COMPATIBLE WITH ANY OTHER THEORY. I am through with you. People who just make up crap like you should be excluded from youtube.

@janjohandealgenman Hebrews 11:1 states that "faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Besides pages of evidence for creation, this is the best biblical evidence i can offer you. If you don't believe the bible, then I'll "shake the dust off of my feet" when I leave this song.

@Moongold7 What you're experiencing is a crutch. Unfortunately, the majority of people who "find" God do it because they had no self control, like you. It's always people who fucked their lives up on drugs who preach the loudest. I personally have self control and don't need to resort to the lord to stay alive or out of jail.
ilovechairmanmeow 11 months ago
@ilovechairmanmeow Look, I just want to say I am very deeply sorry for whatever reasons you have for cursing the LORD. Sometimes, even those who claim to be Christ followers shame His name by wearing it and doing very hateful things, and I am sorry if that is the case. But I just want you to know that God loves you and that He demonstrated that by sending His Son Jesus to be crucified and then raised Him to life so that we can be free from sin and death.

ilovechairmanmeow 11 months ago
@ilovechairmanmeow God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.
Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death? Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so too we might walk in newness of life. (Romans 5:8, 6:3, 4)
somaliaproject 11 months ago
@somaliaproject That was written by man, probably not even inspired by God. You have to look at the amount of times the bible has been translated, retranslated, rewritten, edited by various churches throughout history to fit their personal beliefs and strengthen political power. Believing in Christ and God and love is something I can get behind, but the religion that has taken shape over the last 2000 years is the work of corrupt men as was foretold in Acts 20:29,30.
ilovechairmanmeow 11 months ago
@ilovechairmanmeow Therefore there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and death. (Romans 8:1, 2)
somaliaproject 11 months ago
@somaliaproject So please don't give me the bullshit psychological 'trick' verses that were put there by people OBVIOUSLY trying to attract more members to their church. I mean, "no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus" is undoubtedly going to attract people who have fucked up some facet of their life, and are desperate for forgiveness. How can you think something that created the entire universe would actually judge you? Pretty sure God is above that. Christianity is an evil trick.

Its also re-assuring to know, after reading the posts below, that in the current world of violence, heart break, broken dreams, war and hatred the spirit of The Lord still moves across the face of the earth and through striving to live in Christ's image we can make this a better place for all -

@JerryJerusalem So, uh, who do you suppose made the sun? Did it just randomly pop into the sky?
Even on a clear night, can we see every star that is in space? Does that mean they are not there?
Can you see the wind? No, but you can see the effects of it. You can see the objects that are swept away by it's force.
The same is true for God and his children. We cannot see Him, but we can see the effects of His presence in our lives.
