@tewewen I think a loving heavenly father would take everyone to heaven; all prodigals. I think a loving Christ would claim all of humanity as his prize. Orthodox doctrine of hell where 90 % of the human race goes to eternal concentration camp is obscene & simply not reality & cannot be part of a God worthy of worship. The doctrine of hell is like slavery: It needs to be discarded. A good God wouldn't damn people for thinking the Bible is fiction?try Robert Price & Tentmaker777
@zytigon, "What are you asking God to do? To wipe out their past sins and, at all costs, to give them a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? But He has done so, on Calvary. To forgive them? They [refuse to be] forgiven. To leave them alone? Alas, I am afraid that is what He does. -C. S. Lewis "The Problem of Pain" Ch. VIII, p. 128
@mentmatvey I think it would be the will of a loving, good, responsible, competent Heavenly Father to take everyone to heaven by his grace and not by mans works or beliefs. If all things were possible for God then he would do all that was necessary to ensure that no one suffered eternally. Nothing would be able to separate us from the love of a good God, It would be his duty to fulfill plan A as if nothing had gone wrong. I will see you in heaven if there is one, but extinction is more likely
@mentmatvey Have you read Rob Bell's, "Love Wins". He looks at the idea that Gehenna / hell in the Bible was intended to be defined as an experience of life on earth. For example in Matt 5v22 Jesus would have said, " If you habitually call people nasty names like "fool" then your experience of life will be impoverished, use of ad hominem instead of adjectives will degrade your thought life & could potentially lead to a rubbish dump life. A more proportionate interpretation ? Think love languages
@mentmatvey I have recently come across some interesting ideas that I think relate to the riddle of " love your enemy". Psychcentral had an article by Karyn Hall about opposite emotion where a detailed analysis of their behviour enables sympathy to reduce the rage you might feel. On psychology today there is the idea to act the person you want to be & it will happen. Homer Macdonald ;"Stop your divorce" has an idea about if you just agree with your partner they will be more considerate to you
To StevieWonder501...I just read what you posted and I am ashameto be one of your fan here in the Philippines, I did not expect that you will say these words? How dare you..as if you don't understand, as if your not an artist? how could you do this...as if your not belong to the Sheeps world....are you in a Goat part? I don't like you now...your'e a crap stevie..you don't have God in your heart...now I find out.
I hate to be a buzzkill, but I thought this video was pointless, and I kind of hated it. All the visuals were just spelling out what the lyrics are already telling me. This video adds nothing to the song. If anything, it distracts.
@StevieWonder501 Excuse me if I give a crap about the quality of Christian art. I guess you think that no one should ever have anything negative to say about this kind of stuff because it's Christ-honoring by default. Film in the secular world gets held up to criticism. Maybe that's why they make higher quality entertainment than us. The poor guy who made this film will probably never improve because he's so bogged down in thoughtless praise. You should be ashamed of yourself.
@manofvalor111 they're very nice videos mate , i can give you somthing if you want. i'd be more then happy to give you 10$ for no reason atal, just coz you asked for it... im just saying why dont you just upload the revised edition on youtube for free? it doesnt look like you've filmed on expensive 35mm cine film at $600 a pop so you know , just share without asking for anything. i can see you've obviously put a lot of time a effort into making it but ''the better one wil cost you'' annoyed me
My mom used to play this song a lot when I was a kid, and I just wanna say your video truly captured the words and lesson perfectly in a modern day setting. I was really moved by it, thank you for sharing
Good job on the video. I hope it touches many hearts and lives. Regarding the charge about charging, it might just do someone good to spend a few dollars to secure something a whole lot more valuable than a pack of cigarettes.
You did not write the song, sing the song, or record the song and the video would be nothing without the song. Are you sending some of the money to Last Days Ministries in Keith Greens name? Or are you like the money changers in the temple. Take your money....you have your reward.
thanks to this video i understand the story mush better and my pastor gave me this topic to work on and this video helps me to get prepare to preach the world at church on children sunday thanks to who made this video
Jaeson aka THE ANTICHRIST- STOP SPITTING ON JESUS- THE WORD MADE FLESH- MEMORIZE JOEL 3:3- ONE DAY IT WILL MEAN WAR- I WILL HOLD IT OFF AS LONG AS I CAN BUT AINT IT JUST BETTER FOR YOU TO REPENT SO THE REST OF US DONT HAVE TO SEE WAR- LISTEN UP- THE G4 IS AS FOLLOWS ACCORDING TO THE ONE YOU KEEP SPITTING ON- HIS NAME IS JESUS- THE WORD MADE FLESH AND BOY=KENNY, HARLOT= MEESH, GIRL= PARIS, WINE=JAESON
Excellent video, love it :) I am preaching on Fathers Day and will use the Prodigal son and the Father's unending love as my text. I just need to bring it to heart. To see just how long the father worried and waited..... he also waited for the elder son, the pharisee to feel conviction and sorrow. I mention the pharisaical son because that is me. I, I, I, and critical.
I love people like you who judge harshly and have an input in something they know nothing about. I also like how NEWLIFE has not put one second into making a film like this nor even knows why PRT 2 is not on here.... it always days that are most frustrating that you have to read crap like this when people have no idea what is going on in others lifes.. THanks again for the support NEW LIFE ...
@NewLifeInYHWH Be glad he even put up the first part. If you want to see a movie you'll pay for a ticket, or pay for a rental, or pay for a dvd. Why not support the guy who put all this work into it?
@NewLifeInYHWH "Manof MAMMON" Ahahahahaha. Newlife, firstly, thats hilarious, secondly the man put a lot of effort into this, I'd pay to see it. 15-20 a copy you could but your kid a new car or go on a missions trip if you sold enough. Good money -maker ManofValor
No this is a good tribute not to Keith Green but to Jesus Christ. Keith Green would of took no credit for his music. It was the power of the holy spirit that worked this music in him. Many have been touched. All who seek the lord, and follow him. This to can happen to you.
When I was in Net a friend of mine my team leader shared Keith Green this music with me and I wont forget him Mr Perry write me some day your friend Leda
fantastisch om zo te zien dat dit verhaal van Jezus gewoon ook in onze tijd had kunnen spelen; soms beseffen we dat wel eens te weinig. Ik herken mezelf er best wel in!! En dan dank ik God dat Hij mij toch nog wilde aannemen als Zijn kind!
Simply wonderful. Thank you for your labor of love of making this video. Words cannot express. This song is a masterpiece and now the video is, too. God's blessings to you!
This is KG's SYMPHONY!!! WHO has ever put the story of The Prodigal Son to song like he has??? I grew up in the Church being taught the very opposite of what this song expresses...that the son was simply an ignorant, rebellious son.
The return of a rebellious child...
I don't know just who put this video together...BUT it is absolutely amazing
(s)he did such a great job with bringing the subject into modern times!
When I first came to the Lord in April of 1984 this song made such an impact in my life. Later I had an opportunity to meet Keith Greens daughter and taught her in school. But Never met Keith, He had met The Lord. But Thank You for Making this video it is a awesome blessing
Thank you for posting this, I first heard this back in 1984 and was amazed at how true the story and song rings so true for many of us then and still does today. Sometimes it takes feeding in a stinking mud hole, where we should have never felt at home to get us to remember our one true home. God always meets us where we left him last.
This is great, thank you so much for all of the work you put into making this video. This has always been one of my favorite songs by Keith Green. I just decided to put the query into YouTube and see if anyone had made a video for it, and this is the first one that popped up. Incredible. Is a DVD available or a full-length version on the Internet?
This was really a nice tribute to the Keith Green and his great song. Its nice to see that you took the time to do this. It is blessing a lot of people. One powerful song! Oh Keith you are missed! But well see you again!
Awesome job!!! We have been waiting for this for quite some time!!! I love Keith's song so much, and your wonderful video footage would make him proud! Thank you so much for sharing and all of your hard work - God is smiling on you :-)
