Sleeping Giant, Facedown Fest 08, Whoremonger

[chilastatus]

i was at this show. and it was most moving thing i'd ever seen in my life.

[jakedasnake0011]

@chilastatus COME ON! THATS AWESOME!!!!!!!

[jpangelus75]

Praise the Most High for Facedown and its bands. Nothing moves me more than to see hardcore kids giving God praise. And to this guy who keeps talking trash .... Brother it's because of people like you that we need bands like Sleeping Giant and For Today that are filled with the Holy Spirit to show this world that God LOVES not hates. I pray that when you stand before the Most High that you can deal with all the blood on you hands from the people you turned away with the hate you spout out

[iviaverick52]

wow looks like there's been some controversy going on here haha. I think the whole idea here isn't what we believe to properly represent the spirit of God, but what the best means are for us to reach non-believers. It's not about what we want to hear, it's what THEY want to hear that will reach them... Marylin Manson once said "Christians are fools, because they don't even believe what they preach." He's right, if we DO love God, we need to scream it louder than anyone else!

[CasualThinker]

Remember people.

Matthew 5:22

But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.

[paintpro1337]

Glad the arguing finally stopped.  Just pray for him.

[xryanxlackeyx]

the comments for this video are ridiculous. the excusemaker guys just strengthens my faith, however, i think he is the one that's being deceived. even if he did read the bible from cover to cover. that means nothing. he's provided ZERO biblical scripture to support his claims and yet i attended a weekly BIBLE STUDY with the vocalist for this band. it's ok though! SHOW THE GUY SOME LOVE! let him say what he has to say

[johnnycashlives316]

Excuse maker how is this evil?Tom Green is the man! Maybe you just don't dig the music!

[TurnerDH777]

JACKSON GUITARS FOR LIFE

[excusemaker]

You are absolutely correct in saying you "have never felt the spirit of the one true GOD".

I give you that.

Simply put, for your simple mind, the Holy Spirit is not interested in what "tickles" your ears.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?

[linearvermin]

Your an idiot go re read your bible retard. I can say this because I'm not a hardcore Christian and I have no respect for people that cannot have an open mind about religion. God does not judge music he judges what it represents. In this case it represents him and it is good. Sleeping Giant is amazing and when I hear them it always makes me want to go to church and I haven't been in years. They have a gift.

[linearvermin]

Also you read a false bible. Yea...I went there.

[xTxWEBBx]

alright dude! if you feel that way it's totaly cool but just hear me out. 1 John 2:1-2 says " My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world."-NIV

[xTxWEBBx]

so even though you haven't been to church in years God still loves you. all YOU have to do is take one step towards God and He will come running towards you.

[diablo8988]

weird i love the band but dont believe in GOD

[excusemaker]

EXACTLY!

This is a band from Satan the devil.

Of course a non-believer would like the evil rubbish.

[xTxWEBBx]

Dude this isn't evil....there is a story in the Bible call The Tower of Bable (i'm not sure if that's how you spell it) and it talks about when the Spirit came in the Upper Room and everyone had tounges of fire on their head and all their words were turned into different languages and no one could understand eachother but everyone was praising God and he found it beautiful

[unnoneuser2]

@xTxWEBBx dude the tower of Babel was in the old testament. Man was trying to make a city and not disperse across the face of the earth as G-d commanded. G-d saw what they were doing and confused their languages so that they could not work together to finish and they had to disperse across earth. What you're trying to refer to I believe to be Pentacost. (spelling?) At Pentacost the Spirit fell on the disciples and they spoke and everyone there understood in their native language.

[xTxWEBBx]

@unnoneuser2 You are right. My bad xP

[unnoneuser2]

@xTxWEBBx no big dude

[mmmcculloch3]

@xTxWEBBx the story is called "Pentecost." The church is no longer a building, but now inside all believers. Thanks for sharing your faith where many can see!

[3whiteknite]

@xTxWEBBx I think you are getting your verses confused bro. Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.

And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.

And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

[facexdown1228]

Great video, and an amazing band/ministry!

I'll be there, Facedown '09

By the way, I am deeply offended that anyone ("excusemaker") would treat anyone, good or bad, the way he treats God-fearing people on this website, most particularly the terrible things he says in the name of my Jesus, the messiah, who's love and grace is for EVERYONE.

As for your claims of evil, lack of intelleigence, or lack of wisdom here, I BEG you to ask for my email and dare discuss your basis for those accusations.

[excusemaker]

Listen to Perry Como or Andy Williams for true talent given by God, you dumb bastards!

(O:

[sundownscreamer]

Noone is worthy. It is through grace that we have been redeemed and given freedom and noone has the right to judge but GOD himself. You are not worthy to judge me. That means you arent worthy to call me a sodomite because I listen to hardcore music.

[excusemaker]

God has instructed us to "always judge everything".

Why is it so difficult for people to understand that we are here to serve God's purpose?

That purpose is definitely not to make us feel "warm and fuzzy all over".

The wide path is where all idiots go.....

[Andoman123]

these guys are legit.

and seriously, stop arguing. the best thing you can do is pray. arguing and making people angry does not make someone want to follow Jesus. just show them love.

[ScreamingGiant]

who here things excuse maker is a fool?

i mean...no one has a gun to his head saying....watch sleeping giant!

sigh....

[excusemaker]

I am weary of those of you who are unwilling to seek the truth. You, who are only interested in tickling your ears. When you comment or reply to me, please use logic and intelligence, or I may become as you and lose all sanity. I am a man. I am intelligent. I am here to help. I am not tolerant of evil or deception. The stubborn man is a fool. I am not blind. Actually, you are the blind ones. That is why I am here. Your choices are simple: good or evil. How difficult is that to comprehend? 

[sundownscreamer]

"Dont you Judge Me. Dont you dare. One day I know I'll sit before a just God. Will you be there. Or will your false, your short sighted views hold you back from real truth.

All your views leave you hostage, from love, from the real truth. Held Hostage! Dont point your finger like Im the fake, You let me in this room that was your first mistake. Youve got nothing. It's okay I was there once."

[Saccrifix]

@excusemaker: You say you are intelligent...How so? You say (not in these exact words of course, but implied basicaly) that you are a man of God. Yet, you call us who listen to this muc "bastards". That's not very intelligent. You are the same as a false prophet. You come here claiming to be in the name of the most high God, yet you are nothing but scum.

I do not wish to start an argument back up, but your words are false & will bring judgement upon you.

[excusemaker]

Only a fool argues with a fool, so I must say you have been warned!

[Saccrifix]

I've been warned? Warned about what?? There's nothing you can do!

[excusemaker]

I am not stubborn.

I am persistent and unwavering in my love of God and the dissemination of information regarding the truth.

[excusemaker]

They have never played at a house of God.

We have not debated anything.

This is evil in that it is unholy.

Screaming and fainting at man's houses of iniquities, jumping for false joy, and doing backflips in vain is different from the true celebration of God in that it is celebrating a false god.

I am a man.

Not Catholic (that is evil).

Not Jehovah's Witnesses (that is evil).

But you are deceived in that you are not able to understand the Holy scripture where it says you must judge all.

READ!

[ScreamingGiant]

HEY MR. CRITICAL SPIRIT...

HOW ARE YOU THIS MORNING?

you obviously don't have ANY CLUE to what thommy meant in his songs because you have a critical spirit!

why don't you find out instead of being like Pharisee's pointing out those that truly want to worship the Living God!

[excusemaker]

Christ was also CRITICAL of evil, you dumb, stubborn sodomite.

[ScreamingGiant]

hahaha....

keep trash talking.

God, i'm sure, honors you for that profane mouth of yours to edify the body!

[excusemaker]

Are you really that stupid?

[excusemaker]

Are you really that stupid?

[excusemaker]

I know who I am. I am a man who follows the narrow path.

I am a man who is willing to sacrifice to enable others the opportunity to see the truth.

I am a man who is sad to look at the evils of this world being perverted into a false religion.

I am many things, of which does not include unrepentant sinning.

[TRAX2242]

who ever looks down on this or calls it evil is clearly an idiot, honestly who do you think you are.

[excusemaker]

I am truly sad to learn that you are yet another of the many who have been deceived into the ways of Satan.

May you one day see the errors of your ways and fight the good fight to enjoy the true love of God.

[TRAX2242]

yeah bro i love you too

[excusemaker]

Are you kidding yourself?? Yes, u r

[excusemaker]

SMARTEN UP AND FIGURE IT OUT FOF YOURSELF!

I'm not your whore mama.

[xbryantx123]

do you say that because you really want me to look or because you know such a verse does not exist? you dont have a single good argument, you just claim this is evil and wrong, but to me it appears you are the evil and wrong one, and clearly not representing the love of jesus

[excusemaker]

Simply put:

Either you have the Holy Spirit guiding you...

Or you don't.

I pray for all you deceived and stubborn walkers of the wide path to accept the true Christ, not your FALSE god of iniquities.

If you are unable to do a simple thing as to figure out how to search for the truth, which you obviously can't find, you are doomed to continue your putrid life in ignorance.

I would help you, but you have been conditioned beyond my ability to break through.

[xbryantx123]

i pray that you will no longer be blinded by a false god and false teachings and that you will embrace the true loving and living God

[iHaveApassionBurning]

if u seek God with ur entire heart i promise you will find him

[excusemaker]

Yes, but Jesus was not a prostitute.

[excusemaker]

You prove my point with every word you utter.

Now, I must simply turn, brush the dirt off my feet and walk away from your evil.

[TickingLife]

You go do that, even though I have no hate for you.

[kguitark12]

One question? how are we dumb conditioned monkey? you explain to me how we are dumb conditioned monkeys? all you have done here is put all of us down and not shown us a way to change... you put down the music and the people here without showing a way to change.

second only god will judge us in the end, and at least this band is going out there spreading the word of god to other people instead of condemning them for not knowing anything. Jesus went out to the prostitute of his time.

[excusemaker]

Quite simply, what I mean is: Read the Holy Bible from cover to cover and do it with the guidance of the Holy Spirit through prayer. I beg of you.

Love,

John

[TickingLife]

I will do that but so far from what I've read of you're posts (at least on this one video) doesn't prove or disprove anything and that you've just been spewing out hate on an excellent group of people who are gathering men, women, and children and are praising Jesus Christ and worshiping Him to them in their own way that is actually talking to these people who go and see them (and other groups like them).

[DVDRLZ]

Thank you for agreeing with me on what i said earlier

[excusemaker]

Remember? Ye hypocrites and vipers. Please understand, I am showing you the errors of your ways. Ask and you shall receive. Emotions may blur the truth but, I will do my best to assist you in your journey. Satan uses God's word to deceive; God never uses Satan's words. Only man does such folly.

PS.

Christ put down evil.

Did He not?

[excusemaker]

I use the capital "G" with integrity and respect for our Maker. Why have you not exhibited the same loyalty? I live life as an example to others (including "kids"). You seem to have been deceived into believing in a false Christ and false god. May you one day see the light. I pray you ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. I put no person down. You put yourself down with your conditioned response to being convicted of your "naivety". Christ turned over the money changers table in the "church".

[DVDRLZ]

now your just being prejudice

[excusemaker]

Pure EVIL.

[excusemaker]

Pure EVIL.

[excusemaker]

You poor deceived willfully ignorant systematically conditioned false witnesses!

This noise is not anything less than the devils confounding of your pitiful insecure cowardly devil infested shameful existence.

I'd love to see how you're going to explain this choice at the judgement.

[DVDRLZ]

yo bro this band is filled with followers of jesus christ

these guys are going around show to show town to town helping kids find god and helping them gods presence

and what are you doing for god

staying home all the time going on youtube

putting other people down

calling them "poor deceived willfully ignorant systematically conditioned false witnesses"

God doesnt want use putting people down

he wants us helping people

just as this band is doing right now

unlike you

[excusemaker]

Do you understand the meaning of prejudice? I didn't think so. I'll give you a bye on that one, this time. My only concern is for your salvation. Please don't read into things with a conditioned response. Rather, use scriptural (Holy) knowledge to find the Narrow path and walk it, regardless of peers.

[TRAX2242]

you want us not to listen to a band, but u want us to listen to u?

[excusemaker]

That"s right.

[TRAX2242]

and why is that have you have better to say then the book it self?

have you shooken gods hand, were you jesus' best friend

what different are u then any one else?

ur doign exactly what this band is doing, the only difference is is that this band isnt playing at a house of god, well in this footage for the most part

[excusemaker]

I do not, and never said that, I have "better to say than the book itself".

I have not shaken hands with God Himself.

I never intimated to be anyone's best friend.

I am different than most, because I am not following the "wide path".

Finally, you are exactly right when you say, "This band isn't playing at a house of God..."

The church is anywhere two or more BELIEVERS are gathered together.

Please answer me this one question: What compells you to defend the evil rather than promote the truth?

[TRAX2242]

evil in what way is this evil, how different is this then havign a quire scream and faint at gospel churches...? havign peopel jumping for joy, doing back flips, almosas if u were at an acrobat event at a church? how different is this from any other celebrating of god? what are u? catholic? johavas witness?

and judge all!?!?!?!?! thats somthing u dotn want to do. idiocracy and for your information, this band plays at churches when i saw them in maryland, we were at a church venue, your a full

[TRAX2242]

most of the times i have seen them play was at a house of god, this show just happens to be an acception i guess. and no ur not any different then any stubborn peson i have debated with on this websight

[TRAX2242]

how many times have churches goen on retreats on places that wrent other churches, the same way the try and spread the word elsewhere is the way this band does where it be in achurch as they USUALY PLAY AT, or at a local venue

[excusemaker]

It is a false word, conjured up by Satan himself.

Do not contact me again, unless you are requesting assistance in your studies of the Holy Bible.

Thank you very much.

READ!

[TRAX2242]

wtf ever man, good luck with your studies, what ever they may be on,

[ScreamingGiant]

stop this nonsense...

if you really want to bring zeal with knowledge...

message me and tell me why you're sooo critical!!

[excusemaker]

I am not critical, in the sense of the worldly. I am truthful in my dissemination of the truth, as inspired by God Himself.

READ THE HOLY BIBLE, you ignorant reprobates.

Are you actually PROUD?

Sodomites, all of you.

[ScreamingGiant]

THIS ISN'T EVIL you blinded man!

these are a bunch of BELIEVERS (def. more than 2) gathered together to worship our awesome Creator!

i "discern" that you have no real intimacy with the Father Himself!

[excusemaker]

Well, you discern wrong.

When God created man, he gave choice to be fool or wise. I see what you have chosen.

[TRAX2242]

what also sets u apart is thet fact that u are persistant in trying to get peopel who dont even know u, to try and listen, by staying home.. and comenting on youtube videos, as if ur the good man... as if u know more then any one, as u your self hasnt learnd from the book

it seems as if u speek down on it is ur word any better? what can u tel m ethat i havent alredy heard and truned the other cheek on yet..?

[excusemaker]

A beginners' lesson in the truth:

Judge all!

[ScreamingGiant]

and the same measure will be judged unto you! finish the scripture!

[excusemaker]

I have been judged, to date, as worthy. What about you, sodomite?

[xbryantx123]

what is your problem? how is this false witnessing? how is this disgusting satanic noise? i'm interested to hear you support your claims with biblical evidence.

[ScreamingGiant]

oh wow.

cuz Jesus would say "dumb coditioned monkeys" and compare actual people who are mentally disabled to us who have full use of our brains.

you have no love of Jesus.

how dare you name call and do it in the name of my loving Savior, Jesus!

shame on you!

[ameskater]

this is the sweetest band ever,i mean it!!!

[xjoshyx21]

this is band is beyond amazing, so anointed. Praise God.

[Blitz5643]

"what can wash away my sin? what can make me whole again? nothing but blood"

[Blitz5643]

idk but im seeing them in ten days and i want to find out before then

[k3vi0]

at 3:27, what is that chant?

p.s. this song is great
