I'm amazed at how people who don't support Christian views take the time to come listen to Christian rock and then after they listened to it talk crap about it. Thats like going to Mexico, being super white, doing Mexican cocaine and then telling the Mexican Gangsters it sucks. If you don't like it don't listen to it..come on now!
@XXAnimebabyXX Jesus is not a word, it's a name, and not just any name, but the name that stands above all names! Also if Christian Rock bands didn't sing about Jesus they wouldn't be much of a Christian Rock band at all, considering the fact that Jesus is the centrality and universality of the Christian faith. You should try turning to Jesus sometime, because his love for you is great, and the sum of his thoughts for you is far greater than the sum of every grain of sand on this planet earth.
why cant we all just stop arguing and having religious debates? just listen to the song dude. If you don't believe in this stuff dont listen! geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeez
@multiNaterster I think is your name lol do you believe beauty in the beast??? No cause it has no viable truth to it right Aladin, no has made up magic! The bible has evidence, Jesus! There is a certain amount of trust you have in faith to know and trust you are putting your all your life your decisions into it and for me it wasn't easy... Having trust issues but now it's easy it gives me hope a new life good morals values that stand out! Jesus gives love and life..!!
I think that no matter what your beliefs are, anybody can relate to this song. Anybody can apply these lyrics to their own life, even if you interpret the song differently than Aaron himself. And I love that <3
Aaron says this song is about his and his wife's premarital sex. I just think it's beautiful that he actually made a song about it and told people the story behind it! So many are so ashamed of our sins. It doesn't matter what we have ever done, Jesus loves us unconditionally! Jesus, there's something about Your name.
People say "you can never trut everything you read" then we are told to trust what you read in schooling. there are belivers and non belivers. i dont think it matters what you do. as long as everyone is happy <3
@smokint93 yea He is real ( Aaron Gillespie) hes singing this song lol....and why the hell would Him save you? i didnt realize Him was still alive since they dropped off the face of the planet after "Wings of a Butterfly"
@MultiNatester you got problems. be praying for you dude, or dudet. Message me if you feel like talking. God will have all of his Glory no matter what you try to do, no matter how hard you try, you cant win. no matter what demon you summon, people you gather, you wont win. if this is a joke, its not funny. if this is from a show or something, id stop watching that show. you have no idea what you are doing when you say something like this. prayin for ya. God bless
@Christdiedforme1 Actually, my friend, you are the person who the problems. You believe that there is a magical invisible man who watches your every move and gives you a list of what you cannot do and if you do any one of them you will burn in the firey pits of the underworld for all eternity, and then you believe that he loves all of his children, but what kind of father would do those kind of things to his children? Not a very good one in my opinion. And for the record, nobody says dudet.
@MultiNatester Actually my friend thats why He gives you an opportunity to repent and ask forgiveness for the sins we commit so we don't have to "burn in the firey pits of the underworld for all eternity"...that is what makes Him a good father He forgives us...we only have to ask for it is all ...Listen...I'm not trying to preach to you so please dont get angry and upset at me, I'm just saying the truth. I respect you for who you are as a person and I'm not mad at you for what you are saying.
@w0rdupdog I respect you as a person as well. However, I would like you to answer me this question. Would a good father want anything to happen to his beloved child, even if they are the most hateful, mean, and cruel people? It seems to me that it is a fathers duty to protect his child and not harm them. Get back with me on that one. Until then, have a nice day.
@MultiNatester I am a little confused at your question but here is what i came up with from what I understand of your question. God does not want anything bad to happen to his children no matter if they are cruel, mean, or hateful. All of those attributes are the result of evil and a result of the fall (Adam and Eve's disobedience of consuming the forbidden fruit from the Tree of Knowledge) It is up to us however as individuals to make a choice to act hateful or not to.
@MultiNatester The Lord made us with free will so we can have a choice whether or not to believe in Him. He did this so we wouldn't, for lack of better words, be robots. The thing is, God never left us or forsakes us its that we leave Him. We remove ourselves from his glory and love, by the bad choices that we make. Thanks for asking question I am glad you are interested in trying to figure it all out. Again I'm not forcing anything on you, just having a conversation and answering questions :)
@w0rdupdog It just seems a little odd to me that a good father would not love his child. No matter what happens, it seems to me that a father would always love his child, no matter what.
@MultiNatester He did love his child...that is why He let him die for our sins...He also loved us soooo much that He sent his only son to die for us. Jesus who died loved us sooo much that He was willing to die...Obviously God does did not want Him to die but allowed it to happen to redeem all sin. I understand that it is hard to understand. I was the evil in the world that caused Christ to die...He had the power to stop it...and Jesus had the power, because He was God, to pull himself down...
@w0rdupdog That was not my question. If "God" loves his children so much, why in the world would he throw them into a firey inferno to rot for all eternity?
@MultiNatester The truth of the matter is...He loves those who love Him...If we dont live our lives for Him he can do nothing for us. There was not supposed to be people going to a firey inferno in His original plan for humans but unfortunately through Satan's fall, God dismissed him to an "eternal separation" from heaven and from God. For all we know "Hell" could be called a firey infreno because eternal separation could feel like a firey inferno.
@MultiNatester Romans 8:28 states that "Or that all things work together for good to those who love God, who; or that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good" The only people who "burn in a firey Hell" are those who decide to separate themselves from the love that God so freely gives. Mercy, grace, and love from God is a gift....all we have to do is receive it. We cant receive the love from our father if we don't accept it in our hearts.
@MultiNatester Not at all does it make you a bad person no....you are just making the choice to not accept His love and to live eternity in Heaven....but it does not make you a bad person at all....there are some of the nicest people out there who dont believe im sure
@MultiNatester Again please dont be mad at me for saying it...its just the Truth of the Bible....but unfortunately yes...if you do not believe that Christ died for your sins....then yes you would be going to Hell
@w0rdupdog Ok man, thanks for the info! I'll see you you there. P.S. Fuck you and never try to tell me my fate ever again. Also, you should always remember that "god" did not make man, man made "god". Just a little life lesson for you.
@MultiNatester The Bible says so and whatever the bible says is True. John 3:16 says that For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever beiliveth in him shall Not parish but have Everlasting life.
@MultiNatester Hey man Im sorry you are upset I was sdoing nothing more than just answering your questions so please don't be mad at me....and I know there is a God because it says so in the Bible....as plain and simple as that
@w0rdupdog Well, how do you know that the bible is not just some bullshit fairy tail? Someone could have just made it up one day and a bunch of people could have just thought that it was true.
read earlier in the story too. pharaoh hardened his own heart [exodus 8] and THEN God hardened his heart [exodus 11]. God lets us choose what we want to do. Pharaoh never wanted to let the Israelites go, and the result was the same whether his heart was hardened by himself or God. He only let them go to try to take the plagues off of his country. These plagues were brought on him because he refused to listen to Moses and obey God by letting the Israelites go.
@skr28 so god seriously couldn't think of another way to let him let the israelites go then by killing first born children? really? Your insulting your own God, I hope you know.
None of you all should be ashamed of where you've been. It's human, you know? We mess up, and then we tend to discredit ourselves. Sometimes people don't listen or don't forgive, but God is always there, and no matter where we've been, He'll continue to be there loving us.
I love how people are all stop talking about god on this video but how can you deny that this is about god? I'm not really religious but I was going through a rough patch and...I don't know, I feel closer to god now I suppose. Wow, That's really corny. x)
You didn't have to, but you took me in; knowing the dirt I held within. Knowing that I was but a speck without belief, "dust you are-dust you'll be", you've shown me that you won't ever leave.
WHATS UP EVERYONE ! update aha. CAMPUS HARVEST 2011 CHANGED MY LIFE!. Well actually it was god, but lets just say campus harvest was deffinately a string that was plucked to make my beautiful life song ahah. But no doubt! i read everyones post and i couldnt thank u guys enough. wonderful advice. Theres this Saying that john bevere said that really hit the spot for me idk if it was in the bible, but here "Sin does not seperate god from you, sin seperates you from god. God bless everyone of you.
for me, this song wasnt about religion. it was about a heart wrenching break-up. "I've been dirtier than you wanna know. I've left earlier than you'll ever know" in my head translation: "I've cheated behind your back and had another girlfriend for the past three months" sigh.. so glad i found someone so much better <3
@angelashley1493 actually it was about the singer, aaron gillespie having pre-marital sex and he felt very dirty about it, him and his girlfriend well now wife have been together for a while, just saying
too bad Aaron got an infection on his hands leaves him no choice but to leave underoath.... he was my role model.. and i luv the way he makes gospel music..
2:32 is the best part of the song. . . I Love it when artists insert little pieces of the old hymns into their songs, i feel it makes it so much more powerful. . . gotta love the classics =]
i was a non believer before but after i started listening to christian music.. hardcore or not.... i was a bit confused... it is contagious... but music is music... doesn't matter if you believe or not...
@KdawgIly16 no, I'm afraid it doesn't mean that at all, sorry :) I think someone's ability to enjoy a song (regardless of lyrical content) has absolutely nothing to do with what they believe, or in my case, don't believe ;)
@idreamtofflight well, in my opinion, I believe that this song has touched you in a way...yo'ure just so far from God, you can't see it. Atheism is just a way that satan tries to get at you. Just saying. He WANTS to see you suffer in your outcome. It just always hurts me to see that people don't believe in God and they don't give Him a chance to see what He can do in your life. With Him, you'll have an AWESOME eternal life. Trust me. I used to think Jesus couldn't do nothing for me but when you
@KdawgIly16 how do you know that atheism is a way that satan gets to me? this is something that you believe that in no way you can prove to me, so please just stop :) the equivalence would me being rude and saying that you're delusional, etc. I am a good person without believing in God. Atheism is in no way a burden; I look at the natural world, and see natural explanations; you look at the world, and see the supposed man behind the curtain.
@idreamtofflight reach out to Him, He'll definitely reach out to you. Just try. People think to love God, you have to have religion in an atheists point of view but that's not true. Just as long as you have a relationship with Jesus, you'll have everlasting life. I have many friends that used to be atheists and they LOVE their journey with Jesus and I'm sure you would if you believed. I'll be praying for you <3
@KdawgIly16 As nice as your intentions may be, I find it kind of condescending, but whatever. My entire family is religious and I have been for 18 years. It's not like I consciously choose to not believe, I just don't. I would be a deist though, never a Christian, sorry. My uncle is a priest and I know plenty about christianity. I don't like to believe things without evidence. You don't know that you'll have an everlasting life, it's a guess. And please don't mention pascal's wager...
@KdawgIly16 I just feel that Christianity is a burden that blinds you. Not very nice thing to say, is it? But you basically said the same thing to me. I will not worship a god that willingly kills, condones rape, murder, and other horrible acts. I should have expected to try and get converted by commented on this video that I'm an atheist but you're seriously going about it the wrong way.. you're putting your emotions over your rationality.
@idreamtofflight Well, I'm really sorry if I offended you in any way.
And its not God who does that. It's satan. Satan's pupose is to steal, kill and destroy.
I'm just saying. And again, if you're offended, I'm truly sorry. I just felt like I needed to minister to you...please don't look at that in a bad way but I care for people..
@KdawgIly16 You clearly haven't read your Bible if you can't think of a time when god has killed, or condoned rape. Numbers 17-18 is a horrific example of this, look it up. God also hardened the Pharoah's heart to not let the Jews leave, look it up, he wanted to let them leave, but God hardened his heart, and then killed innocent children. To me these are just stories, but yeah. As I said, my family is extremely religious. You do not need to minister me, I am not a sheep, I can think for myself.
@idreamtofflight God creates evil so we know what we must stray from, to show us how we should not live our lives.
Now please, can everyone stop arguing? If someone is atheist, my fellow Christians should have no problem with it; Jesus preached acceptance of all people, wether they believed in him or not. Don't force-feed our beliefs onto others, for that goes against the word of Jesus. Spread the word, don't force it. Thanks, God Bless.
@OhheyAustin what about disease? hurricanes, typhoons, earthquakes? What about the children who suffer daily who will be damned to hell because they've never heard of Jesus according to the bible? I'm glad you're more accepting of the stance of a non-believer and aren't merely telling me I am blinded by atheism and that I'm a servant of Satan though, so thank you for that. It's sad how fast someone pulls the "you're going to hell" card on atheists as if it isn't disrespectful.
i am a new christian and i find that im having stuggles in day to day life. im tempted to turn back but im scared of who i used to be. if you wish to contact me, right now id apriciate it. i am needing guildence. my cell phone number is:636-358-2353
when i feel like ive lost hope,becuase of all the sins ive commited. i lend an ear towards the heavens and listen to this song. But no maatter what i remember god will always love me and jesus as well
how does sum1 dislike this song? this song just reminds me of all of the terrible things ive done and it makes me realize i wouldnt change a thing because thats what bulids the kind of person im am and who im going to be
He is all knowing, and people arn't telling Him about it, they are telling you about it. People arn't telling pointless past stories, they are talking about how he pulled them out of what they didn't want to be and once they accepted His love their lives were changed. I don't really see the point of nagging on people that love The Lord talking about how it doesn't matter to you, well it matters to us and obviously if you take the time to leave a comment then something matters. -God Bless
@CrawlingIntoDarkness Who is forcing you to read any of these? You didnt have to scroll down. im sure i can speak for mostly everyone that has shared something about their lives. It feels good to know someones listening when you come and see that someone liked your comment because its where you are almost ashamed to tell most of your friends your problems. I know i have god for that. But either way its nice to know someone else is listening.
I was never much of a religious person untill i saw the video of aarons testimony. i dont even listen to this kind of music i was always into rap. Daily pot smoker. still am. Havent even graduated 8th grade. and im 17. But im hoping that god will clean me. and that i will no longer be dirty. Aaron has givin me faith in god. Dont like this for a popularity contest. Like this if you have been where i am in life. Please pray that i can make it through all of this.
@NICKhatesfl386 god cannot clean you... you must make the realization that you must clean yourself for god. God is always there but hes just like a father hes not gonna fix everything you do wrong hes gonna teach you and give you the choice but it lies on your shoulders to fix it. Lift yourself up and be free for jesus christ OUR lord hes here for eternity lets show him we can be strong in his presence and exhalt him to show the world the glory of god :) I love everyone of you
@AqUaNAUTx Sorry, but God is the only one who CAN clean you. You can't do it yourself. He's the one who forgives. He's the one who has washed us clean. "He has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west." Psalms 103:12 HE has removed our sins, not us. Yes, we have to make the choice to repent, and change and ask for forgiveness. That's all on us. But He's the one who washes us clean. HE is our righteousness, holiness and redemption.. 1 Corinthians 1:30 The Spirit sanctifies.
@AqUaNAUTx If we had to clean our selves up before coming to God,nobody wouldnt get to God. You do have to accept him in your heart,and try your best but you will mess up,and sin,over and over again until the day you die,hardcore beilieve,athiest,loser,winer,pot smoker,husband,son,daughter,precher,pastor,teacher,scholar,president or taxi driver.. Its in his grace at the end of it all when your heart gets put on the chopping block.
@NICKhatesfl386 God only helps he gives you the ability to do it on your own but when you need his help hes that feeling telling you that your about to make the wrong dicision.
@NICKhatesfl386 I'm praying for you. My heart is deeply saddened by what you are going through, but at the same time, I am happy that you have awakened and seen the path that you want to be on, instead of your current one. Always know that you are never alone, through any trial or tribulation that may come your way. GOD will never leave you or forsake you, it says so in His word(The Bible). Don't be afraid to go to Him and come clean. That is what He is waiting for and also how we are set free.
@NICKhatesfl386 Dude im prayin' real hard for you, stay strong and dont give up the more you try to love God and please Him and change the more he sees it and he'll respect you and love youmore and most DEF bless you but 1st you have to ACCEPT HIM INTO YOUR HEART, AND ADMITT YOUR A SINNER AND THE ONLY WAY TO HEAVEN IS THROUGH HIM SND YOU'LL BE SAVED or JUST PRAY THE SINNERS PRAYER.- love you dude. Stay strong for Christ.:)
God won't clean you...you your self need to find that strength in you to resist your temptations....sure God can help ypu...but you as an individual gain your own strengths emotionally...Find it in you to give up on all that...can you resist? and you can make it through this...beleive in not only god but beleive in yourself man...
God won't just take all the bad things away in your life, you have to find it in yourself to lose all those bad things and all those burdens inside of you, but don't think he turned his back on you. He lets you go through struggles in life because he knows you can get through them and you will become a different person in the end, praying hard for you man, and I KNOW you will make it through your struggles, for I have to :)
@NICKhatesfl386 Hey, I can contest to what your saying. I'm in the fight for my life and soul everyday. Idk where I'm going sometimes, But I know that no matter how low I go, eventually God will be there. I have become so many things, evil, things I can't speak on. I just dont know what to do. But I know God is real and he heals, no matter what you are. Stay strong bro, if you stay strong I will also
@NICKhatesfl386 i know where you've been, i have struggled with the adulterous sprit for a long time and i constantly have to ask God to renew my sprit and make me clean, once you are saved and you repent to God for all your sins you trade in those dirty rags for a white robe, when you ask for forgiveness you are forgiven and you are clean, God throws your sin in to the sea of forgetfulness and you are made new with a clean slate, you just have to believe its done.
@NICKhatesfl386 There is some really, really good Christian rap out there you should check out! Lecrae, Trip Lee, and PRo are my favorites, but there's several guys on Reach Records and a few others that are crazy legit. Glad to hear your testimony man!
@NICKhatesfl386 ill be praying for you you got an awesome testimony to tell others and show them how amazing god realy is and how much he loves you no matter what u have done
O.K. listen people. God created earth. he made people. he told them NOT to eat from the tree of life, and it was the ONLY thing he said not to do. Eve ate from it. therefore sinning. We are all going to Sin, its only human nature. Dying isn't EXACTLY bad if you have faith in God and love him because if you do then you go to Heaven when you die. there are forgivable sins, as well as unforgivable sins. when you go through life not believing in God your life will descend.
I'm an atheist but I still like the song. There goes to show its not all depending on religion. (:

The thing is, God never left us or forsakes us its that we leave Him. We remove ourselves from his glory and love, by the bad choices that we make. Thanks for asking question I am glad you are interested in trying to figure it all out. Again I'm not forcing anything on you, just having a conversation and answering questions :)

@w0rdupdog It just seems a little odd to me that a good father would not love his child. No matter what happens, it seems to me that a father would always love his child, no matter what.
MultiNatester 7 months ago
@MultiNatester He did love his child...that is why He let him die for our sins...He also loved us soooo much that He sent his only son to die for us. Jesus who died loved us sooo much that He was willing to die...Obviously God does did not want Him to die but allowed it to happen to redeem all sin. I understand that it is hard to understand. I was the evil in the world that caused Christ to die...He had the power to stop it...and Jesus had the power, because He was God, to pull himself down...
w0rdupdog 7 months ago
@w0rdupdog That was not my question. If "God" loves his children so much, why in the world would he throw them into a firey inferno to rot for all eternity?
MultiNatester 7 months ago
@MultiNatester The truth of the matter is...He loves those who love Him...If we dont live our lives for Him he can do nothing for us. There was not supposed to be people going to a firey inferno in His original plan for humans but unfortunately through Satan's fall, God dismissed him to an "eternal separation" from heaven and from God. For all we know "Hell" could be called a firey infreno because eternal separation could feel like a firey inferno.
w0rdupdog 7 months ago
@MultiNatester Romans 8:28 states that "Or that all things work together for good to those who love God, who; or that in all things God works together with those who love him to bring about what is good" The only people who "burn in a firey Hell" are those who decide to separate themselves from the love that God so freely gives. Mercy, grace, and love from God is a gift....all we have to do is receive it. We cant receive the love from our father if we don't accept it in our hearts.

@idreamofflight
read earlier in the story too. pharaoh hardened his own heart [exodus 8] and THEN God hardened his heart [exodus 11]. God lets us choose what we want to do. Pharaoh never wanted to let the Israelites go, and the result was the same whether his heart was hardened by himself or God. He only let them go to try to take the plagues off of his country. These plagues were brought on him because he refused to listen to Moses and obey God by letting the Israelites go.

@KdawgIly16 As nice as your intentions may be, I find it kind of condescending, but whatever. My entire family is religious and I have been for 18 years. It's not like I consciously choose to not believe, I just don't. I would be a deist though, never a Christian, sorry. My uncle is a priest and I know plenty about christianity.

@KdawgIly16 You clearly haven't read your Bible if you can't think of a time when god has killed, or condoned rape. Numbers 17-18 is a horrific example of this, look it up. God also hardened the Pharoah's heart to not let the Jews leave, look it up, he wanted to let them leave, but God hardened his heart, and then killed innocent children. To me these are just stories, but yeah. As I said, my family is extremely religious. You do not need to minister me, I am not a sheep, I can think for myself.

O.K. listen people. God created earth. he made people. he told them NOT to eat from the tree of life, and it was the ONLY thing he said not to do. Eve ate from it. therefore sinning. We are all going to Sin, its only human nature. Dying isn't EXACTLY bad if you have faith in God and love him because if you do then you go to Heaven when you die. there are forgivable sins, as well as unforgivable sins. when you go through life not believing in God your life will descend.
