[Mrfarfallone22]

Nice! He's a real baritone, and hearing him, I think it's the right choice for this kind of tessitura always on the high passagio.

[violinistx100]

His triplets... o-o are amazing

[mcfirefly3]

For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee.

[mcfirefly3]

Notice that in using the first part to illustrate the reason that the world _has to, is right to,_ unite in rebellion against God, it ignores that it is saying "the kings of the earth rise up, and its rulers take counsel together against the Lord, saying...".

[mcfirefly3]

Supposedly it is that God demands something from them that is contrary to their nature, since they are "born that way." But, whether they are born gay or not (I don't think so), we are all born in sin. We all have that in our nature, and it is the kind of salvation that Jesus Christ bought us that takes that completely into account.

[mcfirefly3]

...because the Bible and the judgment of God makes people feel so bad they kill themselves. The guy who has stabbed himself is probably gay, and it is probably supposed to his lover who finds him. People who hate God like to play the gay card to prove how evil God is, even though Jesus came not for the righteous but for sinners. ...

[mcfirefly3]

This performance is very antichrist, the little acting out pieces to illustrate the now "correct" way of looking at things. The two pieces together "invert" the Bible verses that are the text. The first one shows, according to the way they feel and look at it, that the world uniting in rebellion against the Lord is necessary...

[LightMare7]

good performance... But... it's a very weird play...

DVD is available on amazon.com. Powerful interpretation and incredible singing!

@piasecznik He took scriptures from the Bible, arranged them, and edited them slightly (usually for grammatical reasons, but in Worthy is The Lamb (from Revelation 5), for example, he added "and hath redeemed us to God by his blood" for reasons that make sense if you read the whole chapter).
