Have scientists succeeded in making life? You're avoiding the question. They. Have. Not. However, I'm not going to engage you in an theologic debate (even though you're practically begging for one) I'm just going to pray for you.
@JayJayAbels I'm not judgin', I just think you need to listen harder to the lyrics. Where did the world come from? Scientists have tried since the beginning of time to create life, and have failed. Only Jesus can create life. Superstition? You've obviously had a bad church experience. It's not superstition, it's not religion. It's love. Pure and simple. L.O.V.E
@JayJayAbels You know something, I'm gonna be original here and not blast you. I won't debate you or even tell you how you are gonna go to hell. I just hope the music speaks to you. In the mean time, I'll just pray for you. Bless you, buddy. Jesus loves you.
@JayJayAbels thanks for thinking. And, for future reference, I'd be careful denying the existence of Christ. whether he was god or not, say what you want, but most historians would say there was a great teacher named Jesus. even other religions recognize it.
@themaskedging Although there is VERY little evidence that Jesus ever existed... I tend to believe that he did. Yehosua, Jesus's proper Hebrew name, at that time was very common in those parts. But my claim was that Jesus NO LONGER exists - not that he never existed.
Regardless he was certainly not a "god" of any kind.
But you're absolutely within your rights to believe otherwise.
Knock yourself out but IMO it's all bronze aged myths and stories.
@RepMYcity1 No disrespect taken. It's funny but I have a good friend of mine who is a Christian fundamentalist... like I was when I was just a wee lad... and he's a big fan of Christian Hip Hop. Being an anti-theist/atheist skeptical humanist... we always bump heads on this topic but regardless I can appreciate skills when I hear them.
I disagree FULLY with the message but have been involved with Hip Hop and know a legit artist when I see/hear one.
@JayJayAbels Altough i disagree with your take on religion everyone has an opinion...and everyone deserves to have their opinion respected so you have mine.....and lecrae is legit fa sho
@cobyson05 I'm 11 and i live in a good christian home i ride horses and got a lot of stuff tho it may seem as my life is awesome I've been through a lot every body thinks I'm tough that i don't cry unless it hurts and there right but I've always felt like I'm miss en something i don't now what but when im alone i break down like like i said I've been through a lot i have a feelin that that's y but i don't tell no one cuz i feel like i cant trust no one
It really, truly hurts me that more people don't believe in Jesus.. i wish i could just show them the end of time.. give them my belief.. i guess we have to stick to praying, and Lecrae has to stick to rapping
woaahhhh!!...Man that saying, "if what's true to me is true to me and whats true to you is true to you, what if my truth says yours is a lie, is it still truth"...that's Powerfull!!! God Bless You Lecrae..your music is so true!
woaahhhh!!...Man that saying, "if what's true to me is true to me and whats true to you is true to you, what if my truth says yours is a lie, is it still truth"...that's Powerfull!!! God Bless You Lecrae..your music is so true!
O.M.G. This is sooo true, it is THE TRUTH!!! Wow, look at lecrea, his life is a testimony, look at what he came from, and what he is today, GOD IS SO GOOD! He made lacrea the powerful minister of truth that he is!
Lecrae is a great creation of God He is a testimony to everyone Thank u God for him kepp on showing your Love and plaese bring more great people into this world
But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light;- 1 Peter 2:9
That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.
@coolmonkeygirl you shouldnt use the word whores. that shows that you're judging them and belittling them because they act a certain way or dress a certain way. would God treat people like that?
It's a sad thing that no one gave this video a rating. I mean behind the beat and the hype, the truth hurts I guess. But God is still good. Keep letting God use Lecrae.

@themadelvishpoet Ironically I would consider any "church experience" as a bad one. It IS superstition. It IS religion.
"Only Jesus can create life".
^ And this is what makes it superstitious.
Jesus no longer exists and he certainly doesn't create life.
You know who creates life?
Your parents. There's some evidence for that.
"Where did the world come from?"
^ The planet was formed 4.5 billion years ago.
Jesus certainly didn't create it.
