Switchfoot - The Blues (with lyrics)

[PrettyTiaF]

species, but...a creative species, created in the same likeness as our creator, God. He won't let you down, man. I really encourage you, whenever you're ready or right now to just try Him. He really is waiting for you to just turn to Him and believe because He believes in you and will never stop loving you :-) No matter what has happend in your life, God still loves you and has a plan for your life because you really mean something to Him. "we were meant to live for so much more" :-) God luvs u!

[PrettyTiaF]

miracles because I believe in Jesus, who gives is life and life more abundantly. It takes much faith and integrity, but He never fails. God will show Himself to you wen you open up to Him. No other "god" can do that. I encourage you not to rule Him out of your life :-) I don't believe in evolution though. Something can't come from nothing. "unassuming chemical reaction"--um...where did the chemicals come from? what gave the chemicals intelligence to react, etc? We are not an evolutionary

[PrettyTiaF]

As harsh as it sounds, the wages of sin is death. So I have to answer yes to your first question. Bad things happen because in our ignorance, we push God away and His protection. You say the Bible is full of contradictions? Can you prove that to me? Yes, many religions tell different stories about God and include the virgin birth, but they rnt correct. The Bible is God's-honest truth. There are no lies. I don't believe in miracles because I want to believe in a better life. I believe in

[PrettyTiaF]

My story...and I hope this gives you a new perspective...is that my mother was DONE with having kids. She had the surgery done--or either my father had surgery done on his you-know. Everything was sealed up and there was no possible way for my mother to become pregnant. Guess what ? I came later! Some people say "aw, pshh medical mystery!" To them, I say, open up your eyes! Its a miracle from a God who loves me enough to push past the doings of mankind so I can be here in the world...

[ai1888]

@PrettyTiaF Your story as proof of god is what is called the "argument from ignorance/ personal incredulity". You cannot declare that there was no possible way for your mother to have gotten pregnant, just because you or a few other doctors could not explain it, and then invoke the supernatural. I am really happy that you are alive, and you were conceived but what about a million other babies NOT conceived? There really is something more than this boring life out there..cont

[ai1888]

@PrettyTiaF There are billions of stars, galaxies and yet unexplored areas of space. There are 1000s of molecules performing intricate work at the molecular level, and there are 1000s of species yet to be discovered. Here we are, born of the beautiful process of evolution, from just an unassuming chemical reaction, and now we know how we came to be! Isnt that wonderful? I mean the entire cosmos would have no meaning until our consciousness arose!

[ai1888]

@PrettyTiaF And whats more fascinating? There could be others like us out there! Conscious sentient self-aware beings, hoping that they are not alone, just like we hope we aren't. And to think that God created this entire Universe, just to pry into our social lives, what we do with our genitals, checking to see if we sinned? Doesnt that sound petty to you? It does to me! It seems very very petty. I am sorry if I have offended you in any way, I am just speaking my mind.

[PrettyTiaF]

states that those who do not believe in "allah" are "infedels" and should be eliminated. That's why there are terrorists. In the name of "allah," they are eliminating the infedels. God is love. He is just, as well. And He is faithful to his word. He is the same yesterday, today, and always. Apparently, the muslim "god" changes from love to hate if one doesnt believe in him. But God isn't like that. He loves the saints AND the sinners..

[PrettyTiaF]

However the Bible says "if my people who are called in my name turn from their wicked ways, I will heal their land." To answer your other statement about other "gods," I think it all boils down to faith, as I said earlier. You cannot disprove God, but you can prove Him through faith. I think about all the miracles--has the muslim "god" done any of that? God is faithful to His word, that He is good. However, the muslim "god" is contradictory. The quaran says he is a "god" of peace, but it also

[ai1888]

@PrettyTiaF The so-called miracle stories that you claim to be exclusive to the Christian God is actually pretty common in the Eastern part of the world in India. 1000s of Godmen share the same virgin birth story, with death and resurrection, infact even before Jesus was ever born. This is no co-incidence, we like to believe in miracle stories because we want to believe that there is something more than this boringlife. But wanting more doesnt make it true..

[PrettyTiaF]

Ty for the compliment ;) Children dying every where, especially in third-world countries, is no proof of God. It is proof of how corrupt we are as human beings. God has nothing to do with the disasters that happen in the world. We humans (im not saying you and me) get to the point where we push God out of our lives, out of our schools, that He gives us what we want. If we don't want Him, He's not going to shove Himself down our throats. Thats why bad things can happen, b/c of ignorance

[ai1888]

@PrettyTiaF Children dying is proof of how corrupt we are? Excuse me? So the earthquakes and the tsunamis are also because of our corruption right? And bad things happened because of the victim's ignorance? Do you know how insulting that sounds to the family of the victims? The god of the quran is contradictory, agreed, but it is kind of ironic that you think the Judeo-Christian God is not. The Bible is rife with contradictions.

[ai1888]

God sucks! But this song rocks though! :)

[PrettyTiaF]

@ai1888 :0 I wouldn't say that. He loves you, you know...

[ai1888]

@PrettyTiaF I'll hear that from him directly, ok? Thanks.

[PrettyTiaF]

@ai1888 Yeah! John 3:16, hon --> "For God so LOVED the world (everyone in it!) that He gave His only son that if whoever believes in Him shouldn't die, but have everlasting life :-) The Bible is God's words, His voice that is still alive today, because He is eternal. So yeah, you can hear Him anytime, anywhere. Talk to Him anytime, anywhere!

God bless ya!

[ai1888]

@PrettyTiaF And how do you know that the Bible is God's words? Because it says so in the Bible? And because it says so, that it says so in the Bible?

[PrettyTiaF]

@ai1888 precisely lol. The first book of the Bible states "In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God and the word WAS God." It's difficult to believe because we can't see God, but that's what its all about. Faith. God says whoever believes in me will have eternal life. I forgot what Bible verse it is, but it says "Ask and it will be given to you, knock and the door will be opened. Seek and you shall find." when we want to know God, He doesnt hide. He'll show Himself to you :-)

[PrettyTiaF]

@ai1888 God has truly been there for me so many times. The fact that I'm alive is proof of His existence. I'm not supposed to be alive right now. But that's another story. I just want to let you know that God loves ya, honey. Think about your heartbeat. No, really. He loves you enough to keep that beat going :-)

[ai1888]

@PrettyTiaF I am sorry, that circular logic is just not good enough. You reject all other gods that man has ever believed in. I just go one god further. A person born in the middle-east would most likely be believing in the word of the Quran, and he sincerely believes what his holy book says is true and what the Bible says is false. There is an immediate contradiction.

[ai1888]

@PrettyTiaF You say that the fact that you are alive is proof of His existence, but I ask you this. Do you think that the Fact that 100s of children in Africa and India die every day is ALSO proof of his existence? I can sense that you are a very kind and warm person, but you are not brave enough to question your religion, and sadly I am guessing that thats because of you being indoctrinated since your childhood.

[mananacl]

People get down on switchfoot for being a "sort-of Christian" band. Well, if this isn't a clear articulation of faith in Christ's return, I don't know what is.

[Slide2671]

We're right where we belong. 

[VideoKiwi2008]

such a moving song. everyone should listen to this.

[zygmunttrzy]

this song always makes me cry..

[raineagle100]

SWEET Song.....................

[newlybrokenroad]

One Tree Hill brought me here!

[Barteekkk]

@newlybrokenroad And my dear friend, Caroline (Karolina) brought me here. Sendin her love!

[kitchma21]

@newlybrokenroad i was just watchin the episode that played this song on netflix

[buttscounty]

Thought of this song today when I was watching the news on the earthquake/tsunami in Japan.

[jeffmcaraturnbull]

I have related to this song.. when its new years.. and dull, and everyones just going thru the motions.. those are the days that i think Jesus will return.

[Eternity601]

It's an amazing song and actually holds a lot of meaning.

[champ4110]

Great video good job dude! Switchfoot rocks :)

[Shariyuchi7]

man that was good!!!

[despeluKada]

someone can explain me the meaning of this song.?.. its not so clear at all to me .. maybe is the language..

[exoduspaintingandart]

@despeluKada .the glory of the world that lost its wholeness, esus fulfills it, but still things are fractured, butJesus being God is expected by His followers to return. Jesussaid few would find the gate and that HE is the gate(to salvation) Yet still to follow Jesus and know God we are still questioning the things that seemingly win and get by despite turning from God&Creator. The Bible is quite opposite at times of religion in that we do not earn our way to God but walked away fromHim&Godgave

[pasckymix]

[9superpippo3]

Very good song !!

[crazyMikeXX]

What does this mean:

"Until the world caves in"

Is it an idiom?

[afpickren]

@CrazyMikeXX I always took it as "when Jesus returns", hence: "And nothing is okay until the world caves in, until the world caves in."

[crazyMikeXX]

that's cool!

Let's wait for that day!

be blessed

[greyherring101]

@crazyMikeXX

I wouldn't say it's an idiom, but instead more of an analogy of the world needing a great change to get in a better state.
