In my humble opinion. If you are a spiritual person who judges someone by the way they talk. And claimes that they dont belong in heaven. You dont belong in heaven yourself, and is a judgemental prick.. But im a non beliver so i wouldent know. I just know that nice people, who do good, deserves nice things.
Same. My Mom is a jehovahs witness and I was raised going to Kingdom Halls and stuff, but I've always questioned why do I need to be baptized to be "saved"? Is being a good human being that does good things not enough?
@Nathan Yu there has always been one part of the Bible that confused me. As a Christian I was always told that God is forgiving and if I prayed for him to forgive my sins he would, this makes him merciful but in the Bible it clearly states God is a vengeful God which is pretty much the opposite of being merciful. Idk maybe I'm just not understanding the meanings behind those two words, in my mind those words have always contradicted each other tho. If im wrong tell me
Nathan Yu what? Nah bro. You’re tip toeing around the fact that in the Bible, there are many factions in the first testament, that use God’s vengeance to kill their enemies. Also Sodom and Gamora, biblical plagues etc. he was not just vengeful, he was bloodthirsty. it was never vengeance toward christ, that is a serious misinterpretation and I don’t believe a single Christian would describe his actions toward Christ as “vengeful” because his (son/Christ/a part of himself/never actually explained well enough) agreed to undertake his journey to save mankind. Explain that one to me please... why would an omniscient, omnibenevolent, omnipowerful, omnipresent God, which is what the Bible teaches... have to kill off a part of himself, after Palpatine-ing that part of himself to be born into a rando virgin, in order to open the gates of heaven? Why would he or she do that after intentionally instilling original sin into man? Nah not buying it. Good luck. Like these two said in the video, “it’s faith, it’s hard to describe” probably because in reality there is no description for believing in something that is outlandish and is constantly at odds with logic, science, history, and fact. Cool book to read tho. That’s about where it stops.
Nathan Yu um one, he literally demanded the Israelites kill the Canaanites, including animals, women, and children. He was an excuse for Ethnic Cleansing. And two You’re saying God wanted us to be free, but he made a rule that was intended to be followed, even though he is all knowing so he knew the rule wouldn’t be, and did so only to have to later sacrifice himself to undo the sin he imparted. Even though baptism is said to rid of original sin, he still went through w it. Basically he wrote the rules, allowed them to be broken only to have to clean up his own mess. That is pretty absurd if not inefficient at best. He clearly wanted control in the Bible, wasn’t very fond of human freedom and expression.
Theres alot of hidden symbolism in this video. It would take forever to go into it. But, he went to the desert to seek god as men of faith have in the past. Great video.
@@kakashisensei8266 He isn’t seeking god. He’s realizing that he’s been lied to. He is coming to terms with the things he has learned that contradict what he was told about religion. He’s raging because he’s been lied to and sold a dream that isn’t real. He’s in the desert because he beliefs have been burned down and he needs to build something new with logic, and reason.
Your answer to Hopsins questions is to have faith and believe what you've been taught by humans. That's not an answer that keeps us from being manipulated by humans that would control us.
This is such a powerful song. You could just feel his pain and to me it sounded like a cry for help. It gave me goosebumps throughout the entire song. I would love to see you react to “Dear God” by Dax. (To the Dad: Dax barely cusses at all in this song and he asks some very very good questions and makes a lot of great points while still making it clear that he is still a believer.)
not sure what your referencing with your statement but yea thats what the videos about but i think the reactors 10:14 were asking who is the videos intended audience.
@@kryptonaryxx6418 ah ok your 1st statement was worded oddly to me as i wasnt asking a question. ill disagree though. there are for sure some people that are one way or another and have never questioned it myself included.
I come from a heavily Christian family who've started Christian Academies. I've read the book front to back and it's pretty clear to me, it's a book designed to control the actions of humans. When the "good book" showed up civilization was chaotic as all hell. Those in power wanted control. People have a hard time grasping things they don't understand and a select few took advantage of that. I don't completely rebuke religion. If it helps you and gives you solace at the end of the day, AWESOME! As for me, religion isn't for me. I live by a simple model that the religious and non-religious can live by in unity. Live your life, keep yourself happy, and never INTENTIONALLY hurt another. So, regardless, whether or not "God" is real, you can sleep soundly that you've done your best job to be a decent human being.
Exactly right. Government is god. That is why theres so many different religions. Different governments. If there was truly 1 god the Bible would all be the same
I really enjoy your reactions and respect your views on the subject that this song is based off of. I don't know if I necessarily agree but I love the way y'all explain in a compromising way. Even though I have my own doubts I wish the best for the two of you in all aspects of life. Keep spreading positivity!
The part I struggle with is that even if the Bible was inspired by God, inspiration, especially inspiration is strongly subject to the personal interpretation of the inspired. That means that ultimately, it is still written by man.
@@miguelvaldez2777 Agreed, I'm not disputing that. If I've learned anything in my 43 years, though, it's that mankind, at it's base value, struggles horribly with interpretation sans bias. This makes us phenomenal at creativity and innovation, but not so great at accepting truths at face value.
@@icarus2678 I agree with you completely & I would reiterate to you the importance of faith in this instance (you are right to be suspicious though). There's a theological term referred to as "dispensation." It is time/era specific and it's terminal. During the time of Christ there was a dispensation of Apostles. Apostles are those who had a face to face relationship with Jesus Christ and received a unique impartation or gifting from Christ. Apostles wrote the New Testament without errors under the inspiration of God (again, it takes faith). There are no apostles today, they're all dead (with John being the last). So anyone going by the title of apostle today is a fraud as it does not meet the Biblical criteria. I'm not here to erase your doubts, but i'll leave you with Hebrews 11:6. PS - Don't be afraid to fly closer to the "Son" :-)
@@st3wi3DI understand the concept of dispensation, having been raised Catholic through both home and schooling, and accept that is is a strong argument. If not for this among other more personal and minute details, my faith would have evaporated many years ago. The hard part is reconciling the idea that 12 "Jon Doe" individuals would suddenly be faced with this reality and accept it as truth, as mankind as a whole is generally suspicious and fears change, especially when it could get them killed. Perhaps we as a race have regressed spiritually over time. I believe strongly in the balance between humanity and technology, and as those scales tip, we lose more and more of our connection with our natural instincts, but have we really changed that much? Someone said once that the Bible could be the word of God, or just as easily be written by a madman in an afternoon. I have never denied the existence of God, just man's interpretation. Perhaps I'm just jaded.
9:44. I appreciate you said it your way. My great grandpa said "You would rather have something you don't need, than to need something you don't have."
I definitely agree that he’s an extremely powerful lyricist but I don’t think it’s fair to compare him to Eminem bc Eminem hasn’t dedicated an entire song to the issues that Hopsin has
See this is so powerful, I am a Christian born and raised and I feel where hopsin is at. I listen to his music and he isnt new to me but he made some pretty good and powerful points. Im not saying god is or isn’t real, I believe in him and hopsin has gone through so much in life, losing his kid to lies and a rough life growing up and I see his position. Hopsin was a Christian im not sure is he still is and he made amazing points and new perspective for people who are not sure if god is here for us. Stay up brother he will come for you when its time
Never forget that Jesus when he came into this world. He was teaching directly from the Bible. So we know it’s accurate and he never said nothing in it was wrong.
Knowledge is for those who seek it. If a couple of ignorant Christians wanna not gain his perspective because he's using "bad words", its on them. Hopsin didn't make this so people would loose belief in god, but sharing why he lost it. (Probably because of the backlash.)
I mean I wish I could believe. I kinda think the 'better to believe and be wrong' strategy is flawed because I can't trick myself into believing. I've tried. Like Hop said 'My thoughts just keep picking shit apart all day'. But I don't begrudge anyone finding comfort in religion. Just be good to other humans. Lots of bigotry, politics, etc etc hiding behind it.
This is his conversation with God because he is pissed off God is an absentee parent. Christians often feel atheists expressing themselves is an attack or trying to push a belief or lack there of when Hop is simply speaking his truth.
This was one of his most controversial songs , but he has since said he has a mission and in his mission he has not fell to drinking alcohol or doing drugs ! He has what he feels and he knows there is a God and he doesn't doubt that but he is speaking his feelings aloud and has people misunderstood this video and thinks he doesn't believe in God and he doesn't give them the time of day.
As a former believer myself, once you realize the bible is a just a regular book like any other you have taken the first step to being free. It's filled with so many contradictions the more serious you take it the crazier you become.
Finding out that during the supposed story of Noah things were still being written and added to the library of Alexandria and a bunch of reports from Sumeria and Akkadia that the Eufrates and Tigris rivers went out of their barriers. A local flood and a man on a raft with some of his possessions (And livestock is possessions but they weren't that specific) were probably the inspiration for the story of Noah. If it's just a collection of stories trying to teach you good morals, then I appreciate it, but it doesn't get to be called 'The truth' anymore, it's just 'wisdom'. Goes on the shelf with Voltaire and Lao Tzu.
If a spiritual person can’t understand or listen to this and not hear the heart, then they are carnal in their understanding. This is a soul that’s crying out to The Father in areas where we ALL question our purpose place and position
So what happens to a person like me who has begged for an answer for many years and hasn't even gotten so much as a euphoric feeling or anything at all? I'm an agnostic atheist. I know that term sounds like a contradiction but it isn't. Based on my years of studying and research about not just Christianity, but the origins of religion in general, I find it impossible to believe it. My mind just isn't wired to have faith in anything at all. So am I supposed to believe that if I die before I receive an answer that I'm going to burn in hell forever? You see.... that type of thing will never make sense to me. I'll never take such an evil standpoint on faith.
believing in god is like believing in santa forever! your parents tell you they both exist then you get old enough and they tell you santa is no longer real! but your parents never tell you god isint real so you go through ur life thinking that "God" is always real! imagine if your parent at one point said god isint real at the same point they said santa aint real!
Do you honestly believe that an almighty creator would care about what vocabulary we use? "Fuck" is just a word used to emphasize something. I'm just saying. Even if Jesus was in my presence I wouldn't have a fear of using a "bad word" because that's just something that man made up. We are the ones giving negative meaning to words. These days it's just becoming more and more ridiculous with what we are and are not supposed to say.
Oh and Pascal's wager is NOT real faith. She admitted that she's risking nothing. But, since there are thousands of conceived Gods, you are still at risk if you are worshiping the wrong one.
I used to believe in the Boogieman, fairies, and Santa Claus, and later in life found out that they're not real!!! Belief is a problem, it's just full of doubt like Hopsin said "Everything is what if with Christianity". God is everything around you and inside you, not some white guy with a white beard sitting in the clouds!!! There's one thing that we all know cannot be created or destroyed and that's energy and everything has energy, Simple!!!
with your last comments about its better to believe and be wrong than not believe and be wrong, are you then not believing through faith but through assurance and insurance that if God is real and heaven and hell are too, then you will be safe from it simply because you chose to believe to save yourself and not to truly be faithful to God? and ik this is way later but i felt like i needed to reply
If the Bible was written by men through divine inspiration and later God comes to earth as a man and spoke against the religious leaders for changing his words and calling them snakes and vipers and letting the world know what they were doing, why didn't he write a single verse? Make it make sense
I grew up in a trinity Pentecostal church and married a man who is Apostolic. My entire life I've always questioned certain things in the Christian faith. But I as a believer think it's what you're supposed to do. You can't just hear or read something and just believe it as facts, you just can't. Now some key points I want to point out about this music video that I've taken away. He's struggling on where he stands. A spiritual warfare as some would call it... his heart seems to want/need to believe but his mind is pushing him away because he needs more logical proof... he needs his own experiences with God. It's a very much directed to God himself type of song. Like have you ever prayed but your angry at God or the circumstance your facing in that moment and you just yell at him and pour your heart out to him? I have. And this seemed like a very personal prayer he just so happened to make into a song. I believe God hears him and hopefully he hasn't renounced the presence of God so much in his heart that he cant hear when God responds. But then again, perhaps that's what he will need... a divine intervention when he is at the most distant from God. Another point I'd like to point out, I've been in churches that claim the holy ghost is there but they look and act like their possessed... you can tell the difference between God's Holy Spirt and the demons that pretend to be the real thing. But that's all in my faith base as I've said since a child. It's hard to understand in depth someone's beliefs fully by text or even in person because we all have to find our own path to Jesus. But we have to have Jesus no matter the path that led us to him before we can find God the Father. Now, with that said, I think what he's done here is beautiful. Yes, some could say its blasphemy and I won't lie and say I didnt think this as well the first time I heard it however... once I started analyzing what he is actually saying I realized I've had all the same questions at some point in my life.... so, now I look at this as a truly frustrated man asking God to show up in his life. Hes not asking the masses approval over this hes asking God if he's really there to show up and prove to him he's there. And I think by releasing this to us the general public that it will have people asking questions too. Which I think God can and will turn into something for his good. Sure, there might be people who turn away from God by hearing this song but that's with anything really if they are on the fence it only takes a breeze to blow them over either way. But yes, the language is strong but that's one of those things that kinda grab your attention. It really illustrates how upset he is. I might have to do a reaction video myself just so I can explain myself in depth because there is just so much I got out of this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reactions! Hope I made since in my comment. But you have a new subscriber
I think your comment is the most forthright and comprehensive I've read in any comment section but this one in particular. I never grew up with religion as a major component of my life, even when I enlisted in the Marine Corps who had at the time a mandatory standing order for all Marines to attend a weekly service regardless of religious faith I only attended but never took it in. I had a Sgt who was a rank below me on our last deployment and we were headed home from our tour and he said It is only by the grace of God that we are all going home. This man and I had served close to twelve years together out of the little over sixteen years we were enlisted and had grown very close, we came from to entirely different backgrounds, me a city kid through and through, him a country boy from a ranch in Montana. He has a huge family while I being raised by the state had none to speak of, everything about us was the polar opposite and on this day as we where preparing to get on that plane we looked out over the airfield but what we were really seeing was the utter hell we were leaving behind. He turned to me and said " Gunny how many of those boys hell myself even do you think would be standing in line waiting to get home to their families and loved ones if you hadn't been here with us. I shrugged this off pointing out the training and the determination each and every Marine had shown during that deployment, each and every one of you is just as much the reason why I am getting on this plane as I am for anyone of you. When we got stateside and waited to be mustered out of the Corps he asked me what my plans were, and to be honest I didn't know what the hell to do, without a thought this man, my brother talked me into going home with him. So I ended up in Montana helping out on a cattle ranch and working as a mechanic for a mom & pop garage in town part time till a very good opportunity came my way. When I told my brother about the offer I had received he asked if they had room for one more so I reached out to the contact and inquired about another individual who I vouched for going through the hiring process with me. And while his wife was not exactly thrilled with his direction towords this new occupational endeavor she understood and supported his choice. After a little over a year of training and getting certified in type 1&2 redcard's and bringing many of the skillsets we had from our time in the Corps quickly got put on a critical disaster response team for a privately contracted firm. after eight years of this and my sixteen years in the Corps or my youth I had no faith in religion and no one forced it on me. My change in belief came with a very profound personal experience, I had thought I had seen hell both in my youth and my time in the Corps, I didn't know exactly how wrong I had been. We were called up for a wildfire in California that was quickly becoming a very bad situation, our teams was tasked with performing SAR (search and rescue) of any civilians in the fires path, after about six hours of doing this we were pulled off our primary assignment and ordered to redirect to the hospital in this small community on the other side of the ridge the fire was racing up they needed help getting the patients and staff out and didn't have enough vehicles or personnel to help and were getting cut off from any assistance. We quickly responded only to find only three ambulances and a few law enforcement vehicles, it was quickly decided that the doctors nurses hospital staff and administrators would need to transport patients and staff in their personal vehicles. being team lead of my element of three vehicles I asked if the rest of the team would load our vehicles with as many patients as possible leaving room for a driver and our medtech to aide the patients if need be and the rest of us would don our turnout gear and ride on the rear and side skid and hand bars till we reached incident command. Had I have known what we were riding into I can't say I would have asked my team to do what we did, as our convoy started moving we were soon faced with actually driving right through the fire itself with burning wrecks of cars fallen trees and fire everywhere we looked, through our comms I herd my brother on another vehicle start praying the lords prayer and it was quickly picked up by the rest, myself included. I never prayed so hard in my life, which is Ironic as it was literally the first time I prayed at all, all I asked was for my team and the others to make it through this, as I was praying I heard a voice saying don't worry I got you, all of you. When we reached incident command I inquired about which one of my team spoke that phrase all said it wasn't them and I chocked it up to cross talk over our net for the time being. I later asked if any of them had heard it cause it just stuck in my craw for some strange reason and again they all said no. My brother could see I was troubled about something and pulled me aside, I told him we would talk about it later. I saw to my team and those we had aided and we went back on the fire line about ten hours later. We later learned almost a hundred citizens never made it out of the town we had been sent to the hospital in, The fire had taken them. While I still harbor some guilt over those lost I can't shake the feeling that in that moment riding on the side of one of our rigs God himself answered my prayer, saving more than three hundred souls from a tragic fate. I may not be very devote but i do believe and to my brother that's a start, he thinks my life up to that point was preparing me for that event and the more than two hundred we have been called up to respond to since, I'm not the same cold jaded person I was no longer ago, I'm more hopeful than I have ever been and am very happy with where my lifes path has lead me. I'm not perfect by any stretch and have my faults and failures like most anyone but what my life has shown me is quitting is never an option.
the comment you said at 9:37 I don't agree with because true faith is having faith on your belief unconditionally. Don't get me wrong I've had my doubts of Christianity, but ultimately when you're a believer of Christ those thoughts to just believe in something at the end of the day, because "what can go wrong"... Is not true faith; but I hope you strengthen the bond you have with Christ.
The thing is religion can't be learned naturally only taught by others. Seems most people only believe out of fear of "what if" rather than logic, reality or rationality.
Inspiration still doesnt convince me that those people couldn't have made it all up. And after that we get to the faith argument again. As it always comes down to. For those of us who dont believe, it is because faith has no weight in rational thought. Faith is literally believing without evidence. And that's not how it works. It is impossible for us to have faith, that concept is counter to logic.
You can't just say I'm going too believe in something just too cover your butt...You either believe or you don't..You only saying you believe out of fear and it's not being genuine.
im agnostic. i legit cant believe in god. it breaks my heart because my mother is Christian through and through and i love her more than anything. i believe in a higher power i just dont believe the bible. its built into my brain. if i said i believed id be lying to myself and others i love. i choose not to do that.
I grew up Christian, and while not nearly as fiery as Hopsin, I had my questions too and eventually lost faith, my brain led me to the conclusion that there is no God, which if I'm wrong is kind of ironic, that the very brain He gave me is what led me astray. I do remember however that God knows your thoughts, feelings and actions before you do. Pretending to believe or praying while not believing would be wholly disrespectful to Him if He does exist, and is disrespectful to real believers in any case. If however you are already a believer regardless, then I can see the sense in Pascals Wager. If you're wrong, nothing is lost but if you're right, as you feel you are, heaven is your reward. I just don't see the same wager work for nonbelievers though. I'm open to changing my mind, but faith with evidence is just knowledge. So even if I was shown proof that God is in fact real, I still wouldn't be able to have faith. It's like having faith that 2+2=4, you can't. You know it. I think the persecution like feelings you experience when you "fall out" of faith as Hopsin puts it are quite common experiences though. I was abandoned by 90% of the people I knew and even threatened with going to hell, which I put no stock in (After all, don't judge lest you be judged, if I'm wrong then judgement is left to Him and I am not worried about what humans have to say about it) but it was still nasty. If they genuinely believe it's eternal suffering, how do I deserve that? I'm still a good person, we just don't pray together anymore.. It's kind of shocking to me how easily people say such things, like it's no big deal. Both DMX and MC Jin became believers, Hopsin lost his faith. I think there's beauty and wisdom in both sides and a lot of complex feelings to deal with. So I'm going to stick with that statement, don't judge. you do you, you let me do me, we're all good. In this comment I capitalized His name out of respect to the readers that do believe. We can disagree respectfully, but that doesn't mean sometimes your brain isn't going off like Hopsin did in this song. Who knows what's true? Only those that died, and they never came back to tell us anything. Anyway, sorry for the long comment.
Main thing that always bothered me about religion is that the further back in time you go, the less people could read or write... so it must have been written by rich people... kinda changes the metaphors in revelations, for example, when you realize the person warning of something magical is rich. Just so happens that it starts with wicked humans who have influence and ends with God saving you... it even says to not get involved but when you are asked to disown your God, you must not... soooooo dont try to stop the world from ending, and also let them know that your one of the people they are looking for... what if God didn't inspire those words... the world will be beyond saving if all these people don't join the fight of freedom when it comes down to it being taken away, you would be like a present to your new rulers from some guy in the past who mislead you... I believe in a God, but not religion... I like buddhism, but then again I was raised Christian so I kinda already think that way since jesus was kinda like a guy raised in the only monotheism of that day, who'd now teaching people what he learned from the area not far from there where all the Buddhists were... just my theory but it makes sense right lol.
On my last comment you said you got to physically handle it Take it from these wise words if you listen to K rino from the sky with lyrics you will see what I’m talking about there’s nothing negative or that you could argue About that song I promise you won’t you will love that song very inspirational
I respect ppl use religion as a comfort tool. But I cant really accept (which shouldnt matter to others) the arguement "I'd rather believe and be wrong, then not believe and be wrong". And that is cuz there are more religions then 1. So say you believe in one god and it's actually a different one, that doesnt like that you worshipped a false god. I feel in that situation, that god would rather have you praise no one, then praise a false god. But with that said, my thoughts shouldn't dictate your feelings in anyway. Just throwing my comment in there
Right, pascal's wager is actually admitting that you are abused and live life out of fear. You dread ever making the wrong decision on faith or else after you die you may be damned. What about all the other beliefs out there?
God doesn't judge how much you interrupt your woman am I right; Adam before Eve is a constant theme. Thanks for staying wholesome at the end though. Know your place
All you religious people have the same answer to things that actually make sense: believe. For some of us, pure faith isn't enough. We value logic, and proof. I understand there's no proof God doesn't exist OR does exists, so I need proof of either one. Until then, I'm living my life the way I want, until I get proof (news flash: never gonna happen)
more than 80 procent of what is said in the koran is scientificly proven. there are things that are said thousand years ago by our prophet that are happening now. isn't that proof?
@@Voidage1260 lol there are so much scientists who converted to the islam because of the koran and the islam is the religion where the most people convert to.
Jesus is not a facade the government is not God and the point of view is really deceiving trying to make you see in to something that ruins believing but being as I know He exist it truly just gets me vexed because alot of people come here perplexed and their like wow hopsin the best but life is truly a test and if you come here with a mixed up view I don't know forsure but it sounds like you because he sounds so smooth and you've had questions too so your like wow he's true but it couldn't be further from fact as a believer man I too felt bad when I would pray there and fast and my life was still in a mess being honest I was way past stressed and I truly did seek I would sit with the Bible and just read it for weeks well you were probably asleep I was burdened I was oh so weak but God did brake through and I'm a wretch man but he talked me through but I wasn't doubting if he exist I rhymed so you would get to this ..... look for a person already doubting this could be a song to encourage people to go the same route and walk away it's not just mind power ,were talking about something that can determine whether or not you push faith away because you've come to conclusion that God does not exist its all in your head the fool has said in their heart that there is no God but that's just not the truth i actually care about YOUR SOUL AND EVERYONE ELSE'S we all didn't just evolve from organisms into fishes into lizard then go through the animal food chain and come out humans ? Love is not a chemical reaction in the brain that makes you feel what is hard to explain no its spiritual we all have souls God is real but being as everyone just wants to argue even hopsin says what it says in the Bible that people can't deny a creator exist based off what they see all around, the fact we exist is proof that God exist ...how can God exist ?and most people argue ? OK who created God ? God is creator he always was ....I don't mean being creator I mean existed he always was before time existed, time is a creation that God made up God is in eternity he sits where time is stuck we are all in his creation first of all if God doesn't exist how all of us just come out of nothing evolution really , i mean there had to be cause for effect something had to create dust in the beginning and those atoms just floating in space have you ever seen anything manifest from nothing ? Not saying that can't happen because being a believer I believe God can make food manifest or clothing or anything he wants from nothing but that's because he is all powerful its funny how people can believe that particles were just floating in this thing called space and atoms merged together causing the big bang they never question where did these atoms come from instead it's all a grand scheme trying to make you believe in something to push God away .... it's all like that the different religions scientific theories it's all a grand scheme coming from the deceiver and many different angles trying to ruin salvation for as many people as he can because through faith we are saved by grace without faith one cannot be saved believing in something that you can't see or can't grasp believing you will pass your high-school exam a week before you take it is faith in yourself and ability to achieve that which isn't yet proven believing in Christ and what he's done is what actually saves souls so the Devil wants as many people to question the reality of God to steal souls away from God when God loves our souls more than we love ourselves or others or anything for that matter .... people perish for a lack of knowledge things they don't know cost God souls if your read the Bible with a open heart not to know what it says for arguments sake then you would become enlightened in some way but unbelievers are that spirit of antichrist so I don't know what to say..... except I hope God opens people's eyes man because if you don't believe he exist well how can you believe in a saving salvation it's funny how people need proof to be willing to believe something but if you need money from someone you don't have to bring proof to barrow it it's all through faith that people do things like that .....I can go on and on making small points and just pushing my views but in the end unbelievers will just feel as I'm just a ticked off Christian pushing my views down someone's throat and being disrespectful in some way but the real reason it gets to believers is because we read the Bible and seeing what it says is actually quite scary hearing what most people think go against the Bible we all question everything and want proof .... Christians get offended because the only reason they want people to believe is because through believing people get saved .... it's not just some cult this is all real were talking about your soul man and its eternal resting place unsermountable peace and love so far beyond what we could everthink or insurmountable pain and anguish for eternity ....discussing sacred things shouldn't be just blared put on a song it should be done with respect people should fear God almighty and disrespecting him acting tuff dude your talking about someone who can destroy your soul altogether but wants to save you from that very thing . Believing is oh so important and I really want everyone to believe but I can't make that happen 😔 I'm sorry if I upset you with my opinions truly not my goal I just wish you and others could see where we Christians are coming from knowing what we know it's like we're trying to say don't turn down that corner there's a cliff and people are like well I can't see it from this angle so they keep driving even though we warn them that the drop is fatal and there's no coming back ....it's sad and hard .
@@miguelvaldez2777 Your opinions don’t upset me at all. I used to be a Christian and was ALL in, gave my testimony, even lead others to Christ, so I do know how and what you feel in your heart and mind. And if it helps you, that’s awesome. It can definitely help with life, but that still doesn’t make it true or real, and that’s what I’m focused on and concerned with at this stage in my life. Good luck with all you do my friend.
If human wrote it? It would no longer be holy right? because what is meant by holy is original and free from human's interruptions and it's supposed to be god words?
Only problem with all u gotta do is believe is you don’t choose what you believe you either believe or u don’t so how can someone who don’t believe believe if god was real he would know what would make me believe so he either don’t exist or he doesn’t know or he wants me in hell cuz if he knows what would make me believe and doesn’t do it it’s his fault if I go to hell cuz I can’t chose what to believe and I was a fake Christian I even got my ministers license and preach for awhile but I just thought someday I’d believe but now I am 99.9 percent sure there is no god there is no prof of god and if anyone has any I’d love to see it and us existing is not prof of god and if u think it is what evidence do u have to say that
I live my life as if there is no god but if there is then I will goto heaven anyway due to being a good person and using my brain to question everything around me. I can't take faith on faith
Impressing that you dont get it that he is "talking" to God, and the bullshit about you have to believe to see the holy spirit, thats just an excuse to not being able to prove that its even real...
Thats not at all true. How are you here? Who made the heavens and earths. Or who made the galaxies and universe's? There's got to be a higher power have faith. Obviously he loves just as we love. Have faith my friend.
but shouldn't that be blamed on the person and not god necessarily? Humans interpret things the way they want to, humans should be blamed for their own action regardless.
@@MISSJONASFOREVER2 I'm not putting any blame on any magical god the blame is on humanity and there stupidity but it's ok this world gone fix its self in due time religion's and gods will hold no power in the mega future
My thing is with religion is what you said, INSPIRATION. Would that apply to any book? Spiderman? Hulk? They might have been created through inspiration of other made up figures. But they arent real. Science provides books upon books of proof. I used to be catholic, but i couldnt find any proof that i could physically see. Nothing that could be proven. People have their epiphanies or dreams or think God saved someone. But where is the proof?
Evidence kills faith, after all, once you have evidence you need not take it on faith. It's quite clever manipulation when you think about it, it's convinced people that not having evidence is all the evidence they need..
@@bararobberbaron859 If you can't prove anything you believe in, why would i believe it? Science has evidence. They did the work. If your God loves me so much, why doesn't it come to my door and say HEY, WHAT UP BRO? IM GOD? Religion has scarred more children, killed more people and fueled more wars then anything else. U want me to have faith in that?
@@robertwilliams2309 just 1 example that the earth round is, this was said in the koran so many years before ''scientists'' came with it. another example is the weight of claws also this was already said in the koran before scientists came with it. i can go the whole day with these examples, u want more?
I like your thoughts but if you pay attention to it you can tell he doesn't know what's after life he can only live and wait to see what happens when the time comes. But it's too much sin on earth and slot of people that use religion for their personal needs no matter whats the purpose power wealth or notoriety but we forget wars and violence is done in the name of religion we see every sin basically the world has become babylon in bible terms and revelations is on the way. I believe in a higher power but I don't believe in the bible because a man wrote it.

In my humble opinion. If you are a spiritual person who judges someone by the way they talk. And claimes that they dont belong in heaven. You dont belong in heaven yourself, and is a judgemental prick.. But im a non beliver so i wouldent know. I just know that nice people, who do good, deserves nice things.
You. I like you.
Same. My Mom is a jehovahs witness and I was raised going to Kingdom Halls and stuff, but I've always questioned why do I need to be baptized to be "saved"? Is being a good human being that does good things not enough?
@Nathan Yu there has always been one part of the Bible that confused me. As a Christian I was always told that God is forgiving and if I prayed for him to forgive my sins he would, this makes him merciful but in the Bible it clearly states God is a vengeful God which is pretty much the opposite of being merciful. Idk maybe I'm just not understanding the meanings behind those two words, in my mind those words have always contradicted each other tho. If im wrong tell me
Nathan Yu what? Nah bro. You’re tip toeing around the fact that in the Bible, there are many factions in the first testament, that use God’s vengeance to kill their enemies. Also Sodom and Gamora, biblical plagues etc. he was not just vengeful, he was bloodthirsty. it was never vengeance toward christ, that is a serious misinterpretation and I don’t believe a single Christian would describe his actions toward Christ as “vengeful” because his (son/Christ/a part of himself/never actually explained well enough) agreed to undertake his journey to save mankind. Explain that one to me please... why would an omniscient, omnibenevolent, omnipowerful, omnipresent God, which is what the Bible teaches... have to kill off a part of himself, after Palpatine-ing that part of himself to be born into a rando virgin, in order to open the gates of heaven? Why would he or she do that after intentionally instilling original sin into man? Nah not buying it. Good luck. Like these two said in the video, “it’s faith, it’s hard to describe” probably because in reality there is no description for believing in something that is outlandish and is constantly at odds with logic, science, history, and fact. Cool book to read tho. That’s about where it stops.
Nathan Yu um one, he literally demanded the Israelites kill the Canaanites, including animals, women, and children. He was an excuse for Ethnic Cleansing. And two You’re saying God wanted us to be free, but he made a rule that was intended to be followed, even though he is all knowing so he knew the rule wouldn’t be, and did so only to have to later sacrifice himself to undo the sin he imparted. Even though baptism is said to rid of original sin, he still went through w it. Basically he wrote the rules, allowed them to be broken only to have to clean up his own mess. That is pretty absurd if not inefficient at best. He clearly wanted control in the Bible, wasn’t very fond of human freedom and expression.
Theres alot of hidden symbolism in this video. It would take forever to go into it. But, he went to the desert to seek god as men of faith have in the past. Great video.
Not to seek god, but to show that there was nothing there in the first place.

He isn’t seeking god. He’s realizing that he’s been lied to. He is coming to terms with the things he has learned that contradict what he was told about religion. He’s raging because he’s been lied to and sold a dream that isn’t real. He’s in the desert because he beliefs have been burned down and he needs to build something new with logic, and reason.

Your answer to Hopsins questions is to have faith and believe what you've been taught by humans.
That's not an answer that keeps us from being manipulated by humans that would control us.

Thank you
I come from a heavily Christian family who've started Christian Academies. I've read the book front to back and it's pretty clear to me, it's a book designed to control the actions of humans. When the "good book" showed up civilization was chaotic as all hell. Those in power wanted control. People have a hard time grasping things they don't understand and a select few took advantage of that. I don't completely rebuke religion. If it helps you and gives you solace at the end of the day, AWESOME! As for me, religion isn't for me. I live by a simple model that the religious and non-religious can live by in unity. Live your life, keep yourself happy, and never INTENTIONALLY hurt another. So, regardless, whether or not "God" is real, you can sleep soundly that you've done your best job to be a decent human being.

I really enjoy your reactions and respect your views on the subject that this song is based off of. I don't know if I necessarily agree but I love the way y'all explain in a compromising way. Even though I have my own doubts I wish the best for the two of you in all aspects of life. Keep spreading positivity!
The part I struggle with is that even if the Bible was inspired by God, inspiration, especially inspiration is strongly subject to the personal interpretation of the inspired. That means that ultimately, it is still written by man.
But inspired by God.
@@miguelvaldez2777 Agreed, I'm not disputing that. If I've learned anything in my 43 years, though, it's that mankind, at it's base value, struggles horribly with interpretation sans bias. This makes us phenomenal at creativity and innovation, but not so great at accepting truths at face value.
@@icarus2678 I agree with you completely & I would reiterate to you the importance of faith in this instance (you are right to be suspicious though). There's a theological term referred to as "dispensation." It is time/era specific and it's terminal. During the time of Christ there was a dispensation of Apostles. Apostles are those who had a face to face relationship with Jesus Christ and received a unique impartation or gifting from Christ. Apostles wrote the New Testament without errors under the inspiration of God (again, it takes faith). There are no apostles today, they're all dead (with John being the last). So anyone going by the title of apostle today is a fraud as it does not meet the Biblical criteria. I'm not here to erase your doubts, but i'll leave you with Hebrews 11:6. PS - Don't be afraid to fly closer to the "Son" :-)
@@st3wi3DI understand the concept of dispensation, having been raised Catholic through both home and schooling, and accept that is is a strong argument. If not for this among other more personal and minute details, my faith would have evaporated many years ago. The hard part is reconciling the idea that 12 "Jon Doe" individuals would suddenly be faced with this reality and accept it as truth, as mankind as a whole is generally suspicious and fears change, especially when it could get them killed. Perhaps we as a race have regressed spiritually over time. I believe strongly in the balance between humanity and technology, and as those scales tip, we lose more and more of our connection with our natural instincts, but have we really changed that much? Someone said once that the Bible could be the word of God, or just as easily be written by a madman in an afternoon. I have never denied the existence of God, just man's interpretation. Perhaps I'm just jaded.
@@icarus2678 As I said before my friend, it takes faith. Not much either, just the size of a mustard seed. A verse for comfort - Revelation 3:20

See this is so powerful, I am a Christian born and raised and I feel where hopsin is at. I listen to his music and he isnt new to me but he made some pretty good and powerful points. Im not saying god is or isn’t real, I believe in him and hopsin has gone through so much in life, losing his kid to lies and a rough life growing up and I see his position. Hopsin was a Christian im not sure is he still is and he made amazing points and new perspective for people who are not sure if god is here for us. Stay up brother he will come for you when its time
You're speaking as if a Jewish God exists. You can't say you believe or have faith and speak as if it's factual that a Jewish God exists

Your son is very bright. He knows what's he's talking about,
You all should definitely react to "Dear God" by Dax if you haven't already. Would love to see your reaction.
Never forget that Jesus when he came into this world. He was teaching directly from the Bible. So we know it’s accurate and he never said nothing in it was wrong.
I literally used to call it "I'll" mind of Hopsin also😂
What E is referring to is called “Pascal’s Wager”.
It’s of no real consequence to believe and there not be, than to not believe and there be.
How ppl don't cry through this makes me wonder
Knowledge is for those who seek it. If a couple of ignorant Christians wanna not gain his perspective because he's using "bad words", its on them.
Hopsin didn't make this so people would loose belief in god, but sharing why he lost it. (Probably because of the backlash.)
I mean I wish I could believe. I kinda think the 'better to believe and be wrong' strategy is flawed because I can't trick myself into believing. I've tried. Like Hop said 'My thoughts just keep picking shit apart all day'. But I don't begrudge anyone finding comfort in religion. Just be good to other humans. Lots of bigotry, politics, etc etc hiding behind it.
This is his conversation with God because he is pissed off God is an absentee parent. Christians often feel atheists expressing themselves is an attack or trying to push a belief or lack there of when Hop is simply speaking his truth.
Pascal's wager. Love y'all.
Believing in the unseen is the best way to achieve it
Definitely not. Doing the physical work is how you achieve it
I’m talking about god and having faith before you physically do it you Gotta have it in your head you can’t just physically do it until you plane it
This was one of his most controversial songs , but he has since said he has a mission and in his mission he has not fell to drinking alcohol or doing drugs ! He has what he feels and he knows there is a God and he doesn't doubt that but he is speaking his feelings aloud and has people misunderstood this video and thinks he doesn't believe in God and he doesn't give them the time of day.
Actually Hopsin smokes weed.

As a former believer myself, once you realize the bible is a just a regular book like any other you have taken the first step to being free. It's filled with so many contradictions the more serious you take it the crazier you become.
Finding out that during the supposed story of Noah things were still being written and added to the library of Alexandria and a bunch of reports from Sumeria and Akkadia that the Eufrates and Tigris rivers went out of their barriers. A local flood and a man on a raft with some of his possessions (And livestock is possessions but they weren't that specific) were probably the inspiration for the story of Noah. If it's just a collection of stories trying to teach you good morals, then I appreciate it, but it doesn't get to be called 'The truth' anymore, it's just 'wisdom'. Goes on the shelf with Voltaire and Lao Tzu.
Pascal's wager, nice.. Bible didn't cover the CYA clause of the contract.
Pascals wager is fair. And I'd always hope that it lands on the right side, even if I end up in hell.
If a spiritual person can’t understand or listen to this and not hear the heart, then they are carnal in their understanding. This is a soul that’s crying out to The Father in areas where we ALL question our purpose place and position
So what happens to a person like me who has begged for an answer for many years and hasn't even gotten so much as a euphoric feeling or anything at all? I'm an agnostic atheist. I know that term sounds like a contradiction but it isn't. Based on my years of studying and research about not just Christianity, but the origins of religion in general, I find it impossible to believe it. My mind just isn't wired to have faith in anything at all. So am I supposed to believe that if I die before I receive an answer that I'm going to burn in hell forever? You see.... that type of thing will never make sense to me. I'll never take such an evil standpoint on faith.
believing in god is like believing in santa forever! your parents tell you they both exist then you get old enough and they tell you santa is no longer real! but your parents never tell you god isint real so you go through ur life thinking that "God" is always real! imagine if your parent at one point said god isint real at the same point they said santa aint real!
Do you honestly believe that an almighty creator would care about what vocabulary we use? "Fuck" is just a word used to emphasize something. I'm just saying. Even if Jesus was in my presence I wouldn't have a fear of using a "bad word" because that's just something that man made up. We are the ones giving negative meaning to words. These days it's just becoming more and more ridiculous with what we are and are not supposed to say.
Faith is believing in something without good reason. If you have a good reason. You wouldnt appeal to faith

I used to believe in the Boogieman, fairies, and Santa Claus, and later in life found out that they're not real!!! Belief is a problem, it's just full of doubt like Hopsin said "Everything is what if with Christianity". God is everything around you and inside you, not some white guy with a white beard sitting in the clouds!!! There's one thing that we all know cannot be created or destroyed and that's energy and everything has energy, Simple!!!

with your last comments about its better to believe and be wrong than not believe and be wrong, are you then not believing through faith but through assurance and insurance that if God is real and heaven and hell are too, then you will be safe from it simply because you chose to believe to save yourself and not to truly be faithful to God? and ik this is way later but i felt like i needed to reply
If the Bible was written by men through divine inspiration and later God comes to earth as a man and spoke against the religious leaders for changing his words and calling them snakes and vipers and letting the world know what they were doing, why didn't he write a single verse?

I grew up in a trinity Pentecostal church and married a man who is Apostolic. My entire life I've always questioned certain things in the Christian faith. But I as a believer think it's what you're supposed to do. You can't just hear or read something and just believe it as facts, you just can't. Now some key points I want to point out about this music video that I've taken away. He's struggling on where he stands. A spiritual warfare as some would call it... his heart seems to want/need to believe but his mind is pushing him away because he needs more logical proof... he needs his own experiences with God. It's a very much directed to God himself type of song. Like have you ever prayed but your angry at God or the circumstance your facing in that moment and you just yell at him and pour your heart out to him? I have. And this seemed like a very personal prayer he just so happened to make into a song. I believe God hears him and hopefully he hasn't renounced the presence of God so much in his heart that he cant hear when God responds. But then again, perhaps that's what he will need... a divine intervention when he is at the most distant from God. Another point I'd like to point out, I've been in churches that claim the holy ghost is there but they look and act like their possessed... you can tell the difference between God's Holy Spirt and the demons that pretend to be the real thing. But that's all in my faith base as I've said since a child. It's hard to understand in depth someone's beliefs fully by text or even in person because we all have to find our own path to Jesus. But we have to have Jesus no matter the path that led us to him before we can find God the Father. Now, with that said, I think what he's done here is beautiful. Yes, some could say its blasphemy and I won't lie and say I didnt think this as well the first time I heard it however... once I started analyzing what he is actually saying I realized I've had all the same questions at some point in my life.... so, now I look at this as a truly frustrated man asking God to show up in his life. Hes not asking the masses approval over this hes asking God if he's really there to show up and prove to him he's there. And I think by releasing this to us the general public that it will have people asking questions too. Which I think God can and will turn into something for his good. Sure, there might be people who turn away from God by hearing this song but that's with anything really if they are on the fence it only takes a breeze to blow them over either way. But yes, the language is strong but that's one of those things that kinda grab your attention. It really illustrates how upset he is. I might have to do a reaction video myself just so I can explain myself in depth because there is just so much I got out of this. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and reactions! Hope I made since in my comment. But you have a new subscriber
I think your comment is the most forthright and comprehensive I've read in any comment section but this one in particular. I never grew up with religion as a major component of my life, even when I enlisted in the Marine Corps who had at the time a mandatory standing order for all Marines to attend a weekly service regardless of religious faith I only attended but never took it in. I had a Sgt who was a rank below me on our last deployment and we were headed home from our tour and he said It is only by the grace of God that we are all going home. This man and I had served close to twelve years together out of the little over sixteen years we were enlisted and had grown very close, we came from to entirely different backgrounds, me a city kid through and through, him a country boy from a ranch in Montana. He has a huge family while I being raised by the state had none to speak of, everything about us was the polar opposite and on this day as we where preparing to get on that plane we looked out over the airfield but what we were really seeing was the utter hell we were leaving behind. He turned to me and said " Gunny how many of those boys hell myself even do you think would be standing in line waiting to get home to their families and loved ones if you hadn't been here with us. I shrugged this off pointing out the training and the determination each and every Marine had shown during that deployment, each and every one of you is just as much the reason why I am getting on this plane as I am for anyone of you. When we got stateside and waited to be mustered out of the Corps he asked me what my plans were, and to be honest I didn't know what the hell to do, without a thought this man, my brother talked me into going home with him. So I ended up in Montana helping out on a cattle ranch and working as a mechanic for a mom & pop garage in town part time till a very good opportunity came my way. When I told my brother about the offer I had received he asked if they had room for one more so I reached out to the contact and inquired about another individual who I vouched for going through the hiring process with me. And while his wife was not exactly thrilled with his direction towords this new occupational endeavor she understood and supported his choice. After a little over a year of training and getting certified in type 1&2 redcard's and bringing many of the skillsets we had from our time in the Corps quickly got put on a critical disaster response team for a privately contracted firm. after eight years of this and my sixteen years in the Corps or my youth I had no faith in religion and no one forced it on me. My change in belief came with a very profound personal experience, I had thought I had seen hell both in my youth and my time in the Corps, I didn't know exactly how wrong I had been. We were called up for a wildfire in California that was quickly becoming a very bad situation, our teams was tasked with performing SAR (search and rescue) of any civilians in the fires path, after about six hours of doing this we were pulled off our primary assignment and ordered to redirect to the hospital in this small community on the other side of the ridge the fire was racing up they needed help getting the patients and staff out and didn't have enough vehicles or personnel to help and were getting cut off from any assistance. We quickly responded only to find only three ambulances and a few law enforcement vehicles, it was quickly decided that the doctors nurses hospital staff and administrators would need to transport patients and staff in their personal vehicles. being team lead of my element of three vehicles I asked if the rest of the team would load our vehicles with as many patients as possible leaving room for a driver and our medtech to aide the patients if need be and the rest of us would don our turnout gear and ride on the rear and side skid and hand bars till we reached incident command. Had I have known what we were riding into I can't say I would have asked my team to do what we did, as our convoy started moving we were soon faced with actually driving right through the fire itself with burning wrecks of cars fallen trees and fire everywhere we looked, through our comms I herd my brother on another vehicle start praying the lords prayer and it was quickly picked up by the rest, myself included. I never prayed so hard in my life, which is Ironic as it was literally the first time I prayed at all, all I asked was for my team and the others to make it through this, as I was praying I heard a voice saying don't worry I got you, all of you. When we reached incident command I inquired about which one of my team spoke that phrase all said it wasn't them and I chocked it up to cross talk over our net for the time being. I later asked if any of them had heard it cause it just stuck in my craw for some strange reason and again they all said no. My brother could see I was troubled about something and pulled me aside, I told him we would talk about it later. I saw to my team and those we had aided and we went back on the fire line about ten hours later. We later learned almost a hundred citizens never made it out of the town we had been sent to the hospital in, The fire had taken them. While I still harbor some guilt over those lost I can't shake the feeling that in that moment riding on the side of one of our rigs God himself answered my prayer, saving more than three hundred souls from a tragic fate. I may not be very devote but i do believe and to my brother that's a start, he thinks my life up to that point was preparing me for that event and the more than two hundred we have been called up to respond to since, I'm not the same cold jaded person I was no longer ago, I'm more hopeful than I have ever been and am very happy with where my lifes path has lead me. I'm not perfect by any stretch and have my faults and failures like most anyone but what my life has shown me is quitting is never an option.

the comment you said at 9:37 I don't agree with because true faith is having faith on your belief unconditionally. Don't get me wrong I've had my doubts of Christianity, but ultimately when you're a believer of Christ those thoughts to just believe in something at the end of the day, because "what can go wrong"... Is not true faith; but I hope you strengthen the bond you have with Christ.
React to ill mind of hopsin 5 and 9
What’s the intro song?
A friend did it for us
The thing is religion can't be learned naturally only taught by others. Seems most people only believe out of fear of "what if" rather than logic, reality or rationality.
Council of Nicea.. Those two should really study!
He's talking to God
Inspiration still doesnt convince me that those people couldn't have made it all up. And after that we get to the faith argument again. As it always comes down to. For those of us who dont believe, it is because faith has no weight in rational thought. Faith is literally believing without evidence. And that's not how it works. It is impossible for us to have faith, that concept is counter to logic.
You can't just say I'm going too believe in something just too cover your butt...You either believe or you don't..You only saying you believe out of fear and it's not being genuine.
Belief is illogical
I see you suga free lol jk nice reaction
im agnostic. i legit cant believe in god. it breaks my heart because my mother is Christian through and through and i love her more than anything. i believe in a higher power i just dont believe the bible. its built into my brain. if i said i believed id be lying to myself and others i love. i choose not to do that.
what is heaven how does it work
I grew up Christian, and while not nearly as fiery as Hopsin, I had my questions too and eventually lost faith, my brain led me to the conclusion that there is no God, which if I'm wrong is kind of ironic, that the very brain He gave me is what led me astray. I do remember however that God knows your thoughts, feelings and actions before you do. Pretending to believe or praying while not believing would be wholly disrespectful to Him if He does exist, and is disrespectful to real believers in any case. If however you are already a believer regardless, then I can see the sense in Pascals Wager. If you're wrong, nothing is lost but if you're right, as you feel you are, heaven is your reward. I just don't see the same wager work for nonbelievers though. I'm open to changing my mind, but faith with evidence is just knowledge. So even if I was shown proof that God is in fact real, I still wouldn't be able to have faith. It's like having faith that 2+2=4, you can't. You know it.
I think the persecution like feelings you experience when you "fall out" of faith as Hopsin puts it are quite common experiences though. I was abandoned by 90% of the people I knew and even threatened with going to hell, which I put no stock in (After all, don't judge lest you be judged, if I'm wrong then judgement is left to Him and I am not worried about what humans have to say about it) but it was still nasty. If they genuinely believe it's eternal suffering, how do I deserve that? I'm still a good person, we just don't pray together anymore.. It's kind of shocking to me how easily people say such things, like it's no big deal.
Both DMX and MC Jin became believers, Hopsin lost his faith. I think there's beauty and wisdom in both sides and a lot of complex feelings to deal with. So I'm going to stick with that statement, don't judge. you do you, you let me do me, we're all good. In this comment I capitalized His name out of respect to the readers that do believe. We can disagree respectfully, but that doesn't mean sometimes your brain isn't going off like Hopsin did in this song. Who knows what's true? Only those that died, and they never came back to tell us anything. Anyway, sorry for the long comment.
The only sunshine for me is tommy sunshine!!
Main thing that always bothered me about religion is that the further back in time you go, the less people could read or write... so it must have been written by rich people... kinda changes the metaphors in revelations, for example, when you realize the person warning of something magical is rich. Just so happens that it starts with wicked humans who have influence and ends with God saving you... it even says to not get involved but when you are asked to disown your God, you must not... soooooo dont try to stop the world from ending, and also let them know that your one of the people they are looking for... what if God didn't inspire those words... the world will be beyond saving if all these people don't join the fight of freedom when it comes down to it being taken away, you would be like a present to your new rulers from some guy in the past who mislead you... I believe in a God, but not religion... I like buddhism, but then again I was raised Christian so I kinda already think that way since jesus was kinda like a guy raised in the only monotheism of that day, who'd now teaching people what he learned from the area not far from there where all the Buddhists were... just my theory but it makes sense right lol.
hopsin and satan can.. understand me
Can you please listen to k rino from the sky with lyrics very inspirational
On my last comment you said you got to physically handle it Take it from these wise words if you listen to K rino from the sky with lyrics you will see what I’m talking about there’s nothing negative or that you could argue About that song I promise you won’t you will love that song very inspirational
do joyner devil's work
00:40 I’ll mind if dyslexia 7
I respect ppl use religion as a comfort tool. But I cant really accept (which shouldnt matter to others) the arguement "I'd rather believe and be wrong, then not believe and be wrong". And that is cuz there are more religions then 1. So say you believe in one god and it's actually a different one, that doesnt like that you worshipped a false god. I feel in that situation, that god would rather have you praise no one, then praise a false god. But with that said, my thoughts shouldn't dictate your feelings in anyway. Just throwing my comment in there
U gotta believe.. U mean like Santa ...😑
9:33 So you believe in all the religions? Because if you don't, another religion may be true and you will not be prepared.
Yeah that’s a real faulty argument
Right, pascal's wager is actually admitting that you are abused and live life out of fear. You dread ever making the wrong decision on faith or else after you die you may be damned. What about all the other beliefs out there?
But the Bible went through so many years of change till now !!!
the koran not thats why the islam is the truth
God doesn't judge how much you interrupt your woman am I right; Adam before Eve is a constant theme. Thanks for staying wholesome at the end though. Know your place
I get her saying, but believing in God meaning you can't have life pleasures
Believing in God gives you life's pleasure.
REACT TO BIZZLE HE A CHRISTIAN RAPPER
THE SONG CALLED DEVILS WORK BUT REACT TO JOYNER LUCAS BECAUSE BIZZLE VERSION IS A RESPONSE TO JOYNER ULL LIKE IT
All you religious people have the same answer to things that actually make sense: believe. For some of us, pure faith isn't enough. We value logic, and proof. I understand there's no proof God doesn't exist OR does exists, so I need proof of either one. Until then, I'm living my life the way I want, until I get proof (news flash: never gonna happen)
more than 80 procent of what is said in the koran is scientificly proven. there are things that are said thousand years ago by our prophet that are happening now. isn't that proof?
@@ridaeljadouni3837 if they were scientifically proven we'd all be muslim right now 🤦♂️🤦♂️
@@Voidage1260 lol there are so much scientists who converted to the islam because of the koran and the islam is the religion where the most people convert to.

Hopsin is right.
No he's wrong man. I know forsure.
@@miguelvaldez2777 How’s that? Lol
Jesus is not a facade the government is not God and the point of view is really deceiving trying to make you see in to something that ruins believing but being as I know He exist it truly just gets me vexed because alot of people come here perplexed and their like wow hopsin the best but life is truly a test and if you come here with a mixed up view I don't know forsure but it sounds like you because he sounds so smooth and you've had questions too so your like wow he's true but it couldn't be further from fact as a believer man I too felt bad when I would pray there and fast and my life was still in a mess being honest I was way past stressed and I truly did seek I would sit with the Bible and just read it for weeks well you were probably asleep I was burdened I was oh so weak but God did brake through and I'm a wretch man but he talked me through but I wasn't doubting if he exist I rhymed so you would get to this ..... look for a person already doubting this could be a song to encourage people to go the same route and walk away it's not just mind power ,were talking about something that can determine whether or not you push faith away because you've come to conclusion that God does not exist its all in your head the fool has said in their heart that there is no God but that's just not the truth i actually care about YOUR SOUL AND EVERYONE ELSE'S we all didn't just evolve from organisms into fishes into lizard then go through the animal food chain and come out humans ? Love is not a chemical reaction in the brain that makes you feel what is hard to explain no its spiritual we all have souls God is real but being as everyone just wants to argue even hopsin says what it says in the Bible that people can't deny a creator exist based off what they see all around, the fact we exist is proof that God exist ...how can God exist ?and most people argue ? OK who created God ? God is creator he always was ....I don't mean being creator I mean existed he always was before time existed, time is a creation that God made up God is in eternity he sits where time is stuck we are all in his creation first of all if God doesn't exist how all of us just come out of nothing evolution really , i mean there had to be cause for effect something had to create dust in the beginning and those atoms just floating in space have you ever seen anything manifest from nothing ? Not saying that can't happen because being a believer I believe God can make food manifest or clothing or anything he wants from nothing but that's because he is all powerful its funny how people can believe that particles were just floating in this thing called space and atoms merged together causing the big bang they never question where did these atoms come from instead it's all a grand scheme trying to make you believe in something to push God away .... it's all like that the different religions scientific theories it's all a grand scheme coming from the deceiver and many different angles trying to ruin salvation for as many people as he can because through faith we are saved by grace without faith one cannot be saved believing in something that you can't see or can't grasp believing you will pass your high-school exam a week before you take it is faith in yourself and ability to achieve that which isn't yet proven believing in Christ and what he's done is what actually saves souls so the Devil wants as many people to question the reality of God to steal souls away from God when God loves our souls more than we love ourselves or others or anything for that matter .... people perish for a lack of knowledge things they don't know cost God souls if your read the Bible with a open heart not to know what it says for arguments sake then you would become enlightened in some way but unbelievers are that spirit of antichrist so I don't know what to say..... except I hope God opens people's eyes man because if you don't believe he exist well how can you believe in a saving salvation it's funny how people need proof to be willing to believe something but if you need money from someone you don't have to bring proof to barrow it it's all through faith that people do things like that .....I can go on and on making small points and just pushing my views but in the end unbelievers will just feel as I'm just a ticked off Christian pushing my views down someone's throat and being disrespectful in some way but the real reason it gets to believers is because we read the Bible and seeing what it says is actually quite scary hearing what most people think go against the Bible we all question everything and want proof .... Christians get offended because the only reason they want people to believe is because through believing people get saved .... it's not just some cult this is all real were talking about your soul man and its eternal resting place unsermountable peace and love so far beyond what we could everthink or insurmountable pain and anguish for eternity ....discussing sacred things shouldn't be just blared put on a song it should be done with respect people should fear God almighty and disrespecting him acting tuff dude your talking about someone who can destroy your soul altogether but wants to save you from that very thing . Believing is oh so important and I really want everyone to believe but I can't make that happen 😔 I'm sorry if I upset you with my opinions truly not my goal I just wish you and others could see where we Christians are coming from knowing what we know it's like we're trying to say don't turn down that corner there's a cliff and people are like well I can't see it from this angle so they keep driving even though we warn them that the drop is fatal and there's no coming back ....it's sad and hard .
@@miguelvaldez2777 Your opinions don’t upset me at all. I used to be a Christian and was ALL in, gave my testimony, even lead others to Christ, so I do know how and what you feel in your heart and mind. And if it helps you, that’s awesome. It can definitely help with life, but that still doesn’t make it true or real, and that’s what I’m focused on and concerned with at this stage in my life. Good luck with all you do my friend.
@@jdnlaw1974 thank you man you too bro
If human wrote it? It would no longer be holy right? because what is meant by holy is original and free from human's interruptions and it's supposed to be god words?
Only problem with all u gotta do is believe is you don’t choose what you believe you either believe or u don’t so how can someone who don’t believe believe if god was real he would know what would make me believe so he either don’t exist or he doesn’t know or he wants me in hell cuz if he knows what would make me believe and doesn’t do it it’s his fault if I go to hell cuz I can’t chose what to believe and I was a fake Christian I even got my ministers license and preach for awhile but I just thought someday I’d believe but now I am 99.9 percent sure there is no god there is no prof of god and if anyone has any I’d love to see it and us existing is not prof of god and if u think it is what evidence do u have to say that
Mate, please, punctuation!
@@bararobberbaron859 this isn't a writing class it's the internet stfu
God is real. I've seen Him.
Faith??? Please! We need a God that's sound on the ground while we're still around! Christians are funny as hell, especially the black ones
But all people ain’t perfect and it says in the Bible. Now is it Possible that the person who wrote the Bible, could have made mistakes and messed up?
I can’t have faith or believe in something that has no proof or evidence to back it up.
I live my life as if there is no god but if there is then I will goto heaven anyway due to being a good person and using my brain to question everything around me. I can't take faith on faith
Cant explain something? Faith :) You guys should read up on Pascals wager
Impressing that you dont get it that he is "talking" to God, and the bullshit about you have to believe to see the holy spirit, thats just an excuse to not being able to prove that its even real...
"Either god is not all powerful or God is not all good."
Thats not at all true. How are you here? Who made the heavens and earths. Or who made the galaxies and universe's? There's got to be a higher power have faith. Obviously he loves just as we love. Have faith my friend.
Not being rude in any way but it’s pronounced Hop-sin
if its not magic, please explain how god supposedly created everything ?
He is all powerful he created everything by speaking with his pure power in spirit form .
People have killed other people being inspired by God lmao
but shouldn't that be blamed on the person and not god necessarily? Humans interpret things the way they want to, humans should be blamed for their own action regardless.
@@MISSJONASFOREVER2 just like the bible shouldn't be interpreted as something from god it's all on what you decide to tell ya self

My thing is with religion is what you said, INSPIRATION. Would that apply to any book? Spiderman? Hulk? They might have been created through inspiration of other made up figures. But they arent real. Science provides books upon books of proof. I used to be catholic, but i couldnt find any proof that i could physically see. Nothing that could be proven. People have their epiphanies or dreams or think God saved someone. But where is the proof?
Evidence kills faith, after all, once you have evidence you need not take it on faith. It's quite clever manipulation when you think about it, it's convinced people that not having evidence is all the evidence they need..
@@bararobberbaron859 If you can't prove anything you believe in, why would i believe it? Science has evidence. They did the work. If your God loves me so much, why doesn't it come to my door and say HEY, WHAT UP BRO? IM GOD? Religion has scarred more children, killed more people and fueled more wars then anything else. U want me to have faith in that?

What you said was fake...i would wanna think a higher power wrote it..not a human....we all hustlers.yall blind folded sorry
I like your thoughts but if you pay attention to it you can tell he doesn't know what's after life he can only live and wait to see what happens when the time comes. But it's too much sin on earth and slot of people that use religion for their personal needs no matter whats the purpose power wealth or notoriety but we forget wars and violence is done in the name of religion we see every sin basically the world has become babylon in bible terms and revelations is on the way. I believe in a higher power but I don't believe in the bible because a man wrote it.
Sorry but you two are stuck in the "box".
