That's it. I've heard enough. I don't know how I ended up getting notifications about your videos but it ain't going to happen any longer. I'm blocking you, not only because of your ridiculous belief in God but also because your songs suck so much they blow.
By the way, some would argue that Lucifer, Heaven's brightest angel, and the morning star were one and the same.
In all reality Carman was using this boxing illustration to illustrate the battle between God and Satan based on the Rocky Series that was popular when this song first came out. To illustrate that God defeated Satan when he died and arose from the dead.
I need this track. I want to do this drama and I cantala also could provide me please my email is hrtbjaes@hotmail.com my home phone is 01 312 31 234 39 is de Colima Mexico Thank you and God bless you brothers.
seriously? do non-believers really have nothing better to do than look up christian videos and criticise our faith? If you thought that we were under some delusion, why does it bother you? I think I know why....
Personally (and let me state that I've been a follower of Christ--and, as the world would label me, an "Evangelical Christian"--for well over forty years now and counting), I have no problem in Carman performing a "show" of sorts to spread the message of Christ DEFEATING Satan at the cross. The "other side" and his minions have been doing the same for THEIR message for centuries, haven't they?! Think about it you who doubt the Good News...why has the Bible and its message survived THIS long?
seems to me if you don't like it, you'd just simply CHANGE it. I suggest we just ignore the negative & focus on the positive...hey wait, there is a song about that too! LOL relax
@Txmedieval wow, yea...never said I was bragging, just making a statement...even tho I'm not christian and I like this song...why is it christians always get up at arms when someone isn't like them??? Doesn't that go against what u believe??? or do u just wanna' convert the whole world to christianity, and have nothing to do for the rest of ur life??? :\
@NateSnyder82 I never said I was all up at arms...no one is to be " like" anyone...yet not being a Christian is Not something to take lightly...chilax already...I pray You find God soon!
@NateSnyder82 Well, maybe we don't wanna convert the whole world, but we wanna preach the gospel to everyone... Yes! That's what Jesus Christ told us to do :)
My dad had me listening to Carmen when I was just a kid. this song made me cry then and still has the same affect on me now. I love Carmen and what he did for Christian music and this song absolutely rocks!
You make Him sound like the evil overlord. Of course he is watching, but his attitude isn't one of pure justice like you make it sound. He loves and he cares. Think of how much he must love me to watch over me all of the time. He cares so much. Because of such he sent His loving Son to die for us. He didn't talk smack. He didn't mock people and ask them to "make his day." He wants us to be better.
Keep in mind that God is watching you 24 hours a day; even when you are sitting on the toilet doing your dirty, filthy, stinking 'business', God is watching YOU!!!!!
ok now listen to wat he talks about at the start, the morning star and the universe. these are things that are taught in freemasonry and also he does the devil symbol with his hands while talking. my father loves this guy, and has listened to him since i was a child. only now im noticing these things that he talks about... i am a christian and have looked into alot of freemasonry and illuminati. im not to sure what to think of this man now.....
@yayakozi First of all you need to understand that Christianity is older than both of those ‘secret’ organizations, and they both, especially the Freemasons, are created with Christian elements. So no, he’s not making reference to them. It’s the other way. Also, “The Bright Morning Star” is a title of Jesus in the Bible which was written long before the Freemasons came into existence. And if he really was a Freemason, he wouldn’t be teaching about Jesus.
Fellow christians(not catholics,they are 2 differet things)there is something called a judgement day. Those who follow will live eternity with The CHAMPION!But those who dont im sorry but the one without the victory belt they will spend time with him.GOD BLESS
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
This song is bogus. I don't need some dude to hip up the Bible to make me like it. I like the real story a lot better then some made up boxing match. Joy in Christ is found in doing what he says, not rapping about him. Go read 1 John 2 and learn how to know Christ. What a waste this stuff.
@Quinadal Yeah, Psalm 98 definitely says "You shut your face. I wrote the book." And I recall the part when Jesus told Satan "Go ahead. Make my day." Good reference. Perhaps I'll go buy a copy of Bible for Retards and maybe mine will read the same way yours does. And this song isn't a joyful noise unto anybody. If this song is anything, it is blasphemous. It blows. It blows. It blows. Well, that isn't true. It is worth a good laugh every now and then. :)
@Quinadal How about: 4Shout joyfully to the LORD, all the earth; Break forth and sing for joy and sing praises. 5Sing praises to the LORD with the lyre, With the lyre and the sound of melody. 6With trumpets and the sound of the horn Shout joyfully before the King, the LORD.
@crustypondwater Easy, buddy, we don't like this song because of the "show", we like the song because it talks about the great victory of our God. And maybe Carman didn't mean to make a show with this story, i think that's an easy way to understand what Christ did at the cross
@OsitaCly I think the poster's problem is that Carman is trying to make Christianity relevant, when it already should be all on its own. Sure, it's fun, and so is Narnia, but that was an allegory.
@crustypondwater i like this song cuz, even thou i know the story by heart it is still nice to here it like this, and what a christian you are talking bad about other people
I don't claim to be perfect. And you are definitely right.I can do a lot better to be a better christian, but can't we all? There is plenty of improvement for each of us to make. And this proclaim Jesus and now I go to heaven business doesn't help me one bit to become a better Christian. What does make me better is to keep working on following him and being more like him. I apologize for being unkind.That is never appropriate. But I do feel He deserves more reverence than he has been given here.
@crustypondwater The bible it'self uses plenty of metaphors and parables. In fact, boxing is used as one within the Bible. The Bible also specifically says to praise God through music.
This song is bogus. I don't need some dude to hip up the Bible to make me like it. I like the real story a lot better then some made up boxing match. Joy in Christ is found in doing what he says, not rapping about him. Go read 1 John 2 and learn how to know Christ. What a waste this stuff.
This is completely ridiculous...and not even a very good fairy tale!
Stop waiting for a reward that is a con. Heaven or hell are right here on earth and you create each one based on your actions.
Christians are not special...not chosen...not "anointed"...and not "forgiven" for any imagined original sin. They happened to join a group that says these things are true. If they were born in a different country or had influences of a different group they would believe those things instead.
@JohnFrumAmerica Thank you for taking care of us :) you can say anything you want, fortunately we don't live of anyone's mouth, we live of God's mouth
Brings back so many good memories of younger days in the youth group of my church. I'm ready to go home and be with my savior. This world has nothing for me.
You know, because I have lots of time today (I wasn't preoccupied wasting my time praying), I have decided to reply to your comment.
Just last Sunday, I spent the whole day on an outing to the city with my family. And it's sad, because I know our time on this earth is limited. As such, I have decided to spend it doing worthwhile things with the people I love, instead of wasting it hoping to be "saved" after I die. After all, we all know there is NOTHING after death.
i was raised around this stuff...i find it funny that noone listens to or likes this but the same christians that are holier than those that they cannot witness to...this is music made for christians to stroke each others egos while they push the lost further from god...
This song gave me chills as a child... I grew up in this "holy-rolling" lifestyle. I really wish that Christians would convince outsiders as well as those who have accepted him that Jesus and God LOVES them... rather than intimidate them with the threat of hell. Hopefully one day they will see that light.
nikitaldy, I understand your feelings but here's a new way to look at it: a person will not seek forgiveness unless they first know they're sinners. You won't seek heaven if you don't know about hell. Christ showed the world they were deserving of hell. Once they saw that then He introduced them to grace. God Bless
Yes, but there is a difference in telling them the good news and beating them over the head with it. There is a method to show others with out offending them so in turn they don't think negatively of Christians in general.
Your attitude, at least how it appears here is exactly why some will never even consider coming to Christ. There is a mass difference between opening up discussions and allowing people to see what being a Christian is about and 'looking down your nose at them' and making them feel as if you are better than them. In GOD's eyes we are all part of his creation.
I have friends who are pastors and they do not offend the ones they speak to in order to show them the light.
Of course you would have to tell them the word of our Lord, that doesn't mean that you have to as I said, beat them over the head with it. If negativity and self righteousness that looks like hate is what others think being a Christian means then why would they even listen in the first place?
Christ taught also by his own example of which was of love, that is what draws others to know that kind of peace. If you only show the bad side then how would anyone want to approach you for help?
You do realize that Jesus spoke more about hell than he did about heaven.
How is shielding people from the reality of God's judgment being loving?
It is the very reality and seriousness of God's judgment that makes Christ's sacrifice meaningful.
Read Ezekiel 33:1-11 for the picture of what God expects. We are watchmen on the wall and God expects us to sound the trumpet and warn the people. Fail to do so and their blood will be required at your hand.

Have you read the Bible?
The Bible says the cross is an offense (Gal 5:11). How do you preach the cross without offense when the Bible says the very cross is an offense.
The Bible says Christians are the stench of death in the nose of those who are unsaved. (2 Cor 2:15-16).
Might want to make sure you know the word!
