For me, it’s the way he says, “if you open up your heart & open up your mind >chuckles< you’ll get it” it what hits me hard and what I remember when going through a rough patch.
This scene is so powerful, just by looking at him and the friendliness of his voice, where he states that despite your mistakes everything is going to be just fine. This is by far the greatest interpretation of God I've ever seen, makes me happy to have witnessed it :)
It's funny isn't it, that you should say that,because in a lot of ways that is true,it's just a shame that a movie based on the devil is more popular than the word of God,remember the orgininal version of Bedazzled acutally uses real quotes from the bible, becase the new version decied to omit it for some strange reason, maybe it is because at that time, it would have been more unpopluar to use bible quotes like they did in the original film,which is acutally English/British film starring Peter Cook and Dudley moore,but this is the american version. and as this is just a remake,but it's not a bad remake but it's not amazing en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bedazzled_(1967_film) .
Yeah, they pick a good actor to portray God. To some people God can be harsh but to others he just seats and listen to your problem & comes when you need him most.
At the end of this great comedy, we unexpectedly get one of the greatest interpretations of God ever in a movie. Unforgettable and profound. To all my brothers and sisters watching this God Bless.
Yes, it is an Angel. Satan is a Fallen Angel, and so can show up to humans. God never appears in front of Humans unless in the form of Jesus. @@blackfalkon4189
Is he in anything else? He looks so familiar to me but I couldn't name another tv show or movie he's in off the top of my head. I remember watching this when I was like 12 and his performance always stuck out to me. Even as brief as it is. I could probably just Google it but I'm gonna ask you instead because I'm lazy and have a short attention span.
@@timkjazz Was he in Black Hawk Down!? I've seen that movie like 20 times and I never noticed. It's like my uncles favourite movie and we'd watch it everytime he came back to Ireland for Christmas. Haven't watched it in a couple of years but I never noticed him in it. Gonna have to rewatch it again. Tbf the cast of that movie was SO stacked. It seemed like every single actor who had a line, even briefly, was somebody you'd recognise.
I cannot be the only one who watches this scene whenever I feel down or at a crossroads in life. I genuinely tear up with this scene. The smile and voice is just too soothing.
The most comforting thing is that God was there at the lowest point and didn't offer to fix everything, just offered what needed to be heard and support. I can respect a god that allows people to choose but isn't above the occasional pep talk.
This scene always stuck with me as a kid. While I like the movie just fine, this scene gives the film a lot of heart and the actor absolutely nails his performance from start to finish with a glowing aura. Smooth and warm in his delivery and presence while giving gods message is spot on. “Just a friend brotha. Just a really good friend.”
I feelt the same aura and I think is God who try to explain me no matter How many mistakes you did relax at the end God believes in you and and he has always given to you the opportunity to be better
I feel like it reminds me that Jesus not only suffered for us but suffers with us when we feel pain in our lives. When he says just your friend it reminds me of when he says, "I have called you friends." There's so much humility there
If there ever comes a time that I have spend some time in jail, I pray that I share a cell with a "real good friend" like this guy. He'll help keep me centered and grounded...
The actor Gabriel they picked to be god or an angel was spot on. His vibe was a warm welcoming one and had a kind smile. Also I always liked this scene when I was kid now I’m a bit older it hits a lot more.🙏🏼
I felt the same as a kid! No other movie has made an impact more than this one scene did/ the tone that it gave!i never forgot it and I only seen the whole movie once
They casted so well in this scene, like to pull off being so gentle while smoking a cigarette is quite an accomplishment. By far my favorite in the movie.
God Is supposed to be a father and a friend...fathers are kind.... fathers protect you... fathers Raise you....and will always be there for you as a friend...
Most likely, from the director, it was "God" speaking to him. You can't tell me that both aren't able to talk? You have to remember, if God or the Devil does exist, it all comes down to Lucifer asking for forgiveness, good and evil would completely be wiped out solely on 3 words, "Please forgive me." Also, the chess playing as the original topic, was more so meant to be talking to each other. Nothing wrong with talking, even through the Holy War, there are some sacred grounds they only just do that. Talk. This is coming from a person who doesn't directly believe in "Him" or "Her". I do believe there is an existence of it all, just my observation.
So "God" is supposed to chastize him then and there? Who said "He" couldn't be a friend? Who said "He" had to be the smiter of smiters? How couldn't you tell he just allowed him/her to do so? It can be the other way around as well. Also, on the DVD commentary, the director already specifically said it was who you thought it would be lol, so the DVD wins.
Same. Seeing Brendan think about things as he looks through the window to that soothing music really shows how he reflected on his life. He became a more confident person that stood up for himself and took himself more seriously after this scene. You can tell when his co-workers tried to make fun of him he grabbed him and said "nice talkin to ya bob" and they left him alone. This scene helped me reflect on life and improve.
Personally, I think that statement is creepier than the Devil bargaining for your soul. You belong to You. Free Will and all that. "Your soul belongs to God" doesn't sound like Free Will to me.
@@nivekian Everything in creation belongs to God, including our soul. Everything comes from God therefore everything is his. Not that hard to understand. If you had the power to give discarded toe nails sentience and free will, they would still be your toe nails.

“I sold my soul.” “Hope you got something good for it.” “I got nothing for it.” Young me: you got to be famous and rich and and the woman you loved on your arm. Old me: I get it now.

Call him God or guardian Angel. Notice, he never tells Elliott what to do, he just gives him the best advice and it’s up to him to see the light. “Just a friend brotha...just a really good friend”
I’m an alienated dad, who’s been fighting to see my twin daughters for almost 3 years. I always come back to this scene, this song.. this is one of the few scenes in any movie, that speaks to your soul and let’s you know everything will be ok
It will be OK. Whoever is keeping them from you will probably be alienated from them for the rest of their lives once they become old enough to realize the truth. Just keep the faith and keep reaching out and making attempts and maybe write them letters or store up some things for them during the time that you are separated because when they come back and they will, you will have things to show that you cared for them even being apart. Take it from a daughter who was manipulatively and selfishly alienated from her Dad. Unfortunately I was too late to get back to him in the physical...he had passed already. But God is so good...I prayed one time and asked God if my Dad had been saved the way I was...the very next day I was able to visit my cousin who is a staunch atheist. I love my cousin a lot so I was just happy to spend time with him and his family. Out of nowhere he told me that my dad had come to him and told him about Jesus Christ being his Lord and savior....and he said that he didn't know why he told him because he didn't believe in that shit. My chin dropped because it was what I wanted to know. It was literally like God making the rock cry out. Since then I have had peace about the time I missed with my Dad and I know we will spend eternity together and I don't have any more questions about what happened with him because his mom filled me in on all the tea before she also went to be with the Lord. It's because of these things I put my faith and trust in Him. The worst thing that can happen to a person is somehow perceive that their father doesn't love them...but God the Father is the perfect Father. All I have from my dad is a necklace he left with my grandma that she gave to me. This is why I am suggesting you make a stock pile of things and letters and expressing your love and feelings for your daughter so that they know you love them also in the physical. Nothing can separate us from the Father's love in Jesus Christ. I pray that you're united with your daughters soon and that all blockages and obstacles are removed from your path and that hearts are softened to forgiveness in this matter. Much love and blessings to you. There is just too much evil in this world...I'm really hoping for the next where the devil is put in his place.
God wouldn't smoke. I appreciate what their trying to do but the arbitray god who says "just be you and everything will come together" not only does not exist but is in fact probably the devil
For people who are open to reconciling science and religious tradition, here is something that Max Planck said many years ago ~ "Consciousness is a fundamental feature of the Universe." "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness. We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness." Max Planck, physicist, 'father of quantum theory'
Spot on, my brother. 👍 Planck further wrote: "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. We must assume that behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."
I'm an atheist and I really enjoy this movie. This scene in particular. It just hits so well. It's on the nose if he really is God (at least up until the final scene in the film where it's basically all but told to you) or just a good person who knows what to say about the ups and downs of life and sees when someone like Elliot is really struggling through life. Great film and I love some Brendan Fraser.
the cellmate was god, who was working with the devil, to teach Elliott to not do something silly like that. at the end of the movie, both play chess, to symbolize life, there is good and bad, light and darkness, right and wrong, left and right, and that we should be selfless and must do for others and not ourselves.
Yeah. Hollywood does make God black sometimes. Hes also black in the Jim Carrey movie where Jim's character gains God's power. It all goes back to evolution, While we truely come from Europe, People have thought for a long time that we come from Africa. Which led people to believe that Adam and Eve were black and since they were made in God's image, Hollywood made God black a few times. There's more scientific proof coming everyday that first smart humans were actually white and that humanity does Not originate in Africa. But this is besides the point. They make God black because of their own theory of evolution.
a lot of opposites, tall white woman, short black man, but both, easy-speaking. i think we've all been confronted by lucifer and GOD, one time or another. checking on us....
+Sooner Science Nerd: I think Satan is a woman in real life too. I mean, If you consider all things, All of them, Then it cant be a guy. That being's personality is feminine in all religions. Especially christianity. I mean, The word Lucifer literally means "Venus." And if you know who Venus is, The symbol and Goddess of feminity, The one who's symbol became the sign of a female, Then you know what Im talking about. ♀ Lucifer is a girl. At least this one movie got it right.
I always found this scene so powerful between Elliot and his “Really good friend”. I admire that they never had the man say “I’m god” or “I’m an Angel” it’s up to the viewer to decide which makes it even more powerful. It’s even possible he’s just a normal guy who went through the same thing Elliot did with the devil and he learned so much from it.
Geoffrey Oryema was a Ugandan artist. His father was assassinated under Idi Amin and Geoffrey was smuggled out of the country in a suitcase, eventually settling down in France despite being a world renowned musician. He sometimes collaborated with Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel. Most of his music carries themes of wanting to return home and searching for belonging. This song conveys an aching and desire for his people to stop fighting.
That HAD to be Jesus. I like to picture Jesus as someone like this. Just there when you need him. Tells you what you NEED to hear not what you WANT to here .
This is probably a very underrated movie, maybe judged just as a silly easy commedy... but it's so much more than that. I think everyone, in their lifetime, should watch this movie. Everyone. Even for this scene only. ...what an amazing movie.
Just watched that movie yesterday after so many years and totally forgot about this scene. This is so true, mindblowing and yet so beautifully simple what He is saying❤ its not about to become someone, its about letting go of the things you are not, so you can finally be the Person again you always have been and should have been❤
I absolutely love this movie, I was going through some very rough times in my life and something like this happened to me and I completely changed my life , I have never forgotten this moment and never will!
This is easily one of the best movies Brendan Fraser has ever been in. I know he's been in some good dramas and I absolutely loved The mummy movies but this movie in particular is just so simple and has a lot of positive subliminal messages. I really feel like this is overlooked as potentially one of the best movies of its kind and what a good job he did playing those individual characters
I've been awaken and this is the scene I thought of. I'm crying as the truth pores out of me. We all need to care for each other as we are all fighting the "devil" I know your loved ones can be difficult but stick together. help each other. COMMUNITY. As conscience beings we all need to help each other out fight evil, or whatever you call it. We have never been more divided than we are now. United we stand Together we fall.
"You can't really sell your soul anyways, It doesn't really belong to you in the first place. No way no how." This was always my favorite scene. I saw this movie for the first time a couple years after it came out when I was 10. 17 years later and it's still one of my all time favorite movies. It's so underrated! And of course you can't forget about "🎶 Dolphin dolphin I adore everything you are 🎶" 😂😂😂
The way when he's looking at he doesn't break I contact and then he looks away and then he looks away in my smiles like as if he knows he's going to be ok
Incredible, he gave us free will…and yet never gives up on us. Even after we mess things up. In the dark, there’s always a light. Brighter than anything you could ever imagine, follow it. Then you all will understand the simple concept of love for all, and all for one.
I loved this scene when i was young. It always struck me and its the first time I heard Geoffrey Oryema’s music which has stayed with me into my 30s. Very powerful.
I saw this movie for the first time ever today. I needed this, I’ve been struggling with wanting this like acceptance and money, but it showed me that life’s not about getting what you want.
2 Samuel 22:14...Praise him God always make a way to get his messages to you...✨ Very Relaxing scene ✨✨✨✨✨✨ That's right Jesus is that kind of Friend to relax you with a breeze send a funny person to kick every bad thought and worry out of your mind and he will Bless you out of nowhere all day long with Peace. To those of you who feel like you had it Good at some point in your Life verses today we'll your Life is still Good you still have a Good mind to remember your pass,You're still able and when was the last time you played musical chairs at a get together it always start with 4 chairs 😁..Always be Grateful God is with you and he always will be..Thank him Daily in advance✨ I LOVE YOU..🦅
As a young boy this scene always hit me hard and I honestly couldn’t even comprehend why even though I grew up in church, going through my adult hood and playing in the devils playground I found myself in this particular predicament showing that everything came full circle…the most high was with me throughout everything and it sadly it took for me to hit a wall to realize how I’ve been taking his love for granted…the beautiful part is it’s never to late to repent and be saved through mercy and forgiveness, it’s time my brothers and sisters to allow the Holy Spirit a comfortable home in us
This movie speaks the truth believe me our souls don't belong to us but they belong to God we're going to make mistakes along the way that is correct in time we will open our hearts and our minds to God and give those to Jesus and through the love of Jesus he will guide us to the Gates of Heaven.
@toilet paper ...It means profound, emotionally impactful. Pronounce it like poign sounds like coin, second syllable sounds like yent. Hope that helps.
What’s amazing about this movie is that he comes to terms with the good that he has to do in life to be a good human; and by the end, the devil is also is his friend, not because they are actually friends but because of the lessons and hardships she put him through. They reminisce about the pain and look back and laugh. It’s the balance of life. Yin and Yang.
As I'm watching this I realized that after so many years I have made amends with my relationship with God. I was really angry at gone for a long time for taking my mom away. I thought God let me down but as time has gone on as I've made so much of myself. I have healed my spirit as best as I can and now I have a pretty good relationship with God. I am not a religious person but a spiritual person. This video is so correct you're going to make mistakes along the way but all that matters is that you have an open mind a loving heart and faith
Such a cool version of God and nobody talks about it.
Yes.
So Good 😢

I love my cousin a lot so I was just happy to spend time with him and his family.
Out of nowhere he told me that my dad had come to him and told him about Jesus Christ being his Lord and savior....and he said that he didn't know why he told him because he didn't believe in that shit.
My chin dropped because it was what I wanted to know. It was literally like God making the rock cry out.
Since then I have had peace about the time I missed with my Dad and I know we will spend eternity together and I don't have any more questions about what happened with him because his mom filled me in on all the tea before she also went to be with the Lord.
It's because of these things I put my faith and trust in Him.
The worst thing that can happen to a person is somehow perceive that their father doesn't love them...but God the Father is the perfect Father.
All I have from my dad is a necklace he left with my grandma that she gave to me.
This is why I am suggesting you make a stock pile of things and letters and expressing your love and feelings for your daughter so that they know you love them also in the physical.
Nothing can separate us from the Father's love in Jesus Christ.
I pray that you're united with your daughters soon and that all blockages and obstacles are removed from your path and that hearts are softened to forgiveness in this matter.
Much love and blessings to you. There is just too much evil in this world...I'm really hoping for the next where the devil is put in his place.
I pray you get to be with your children. I loved my Dad so much, he's been gone a long time but I have good memories of him.
💜🙏💜
I'm always drawn to this scene, It makes me cry and feel great at the same time.
Get a life
I love the fact that when he’s done speaking he leans back under the shadow of the bunkbed. God is right there even when you can’t see him.
I love this scene I own my life to the Lord. Thank you for never giving up on me

Cute message!
dodgers doon1130 he never will! no matter what!

What do you mean by “my” ? Who does it belong to?
God wouldn't smoke. I appreciate what their trying to do but the arbitray god who says "just be you and everything will come together" not only does not exist but is in fact probably the devil
He's a guardian angel.
No he god
The way he smiles, makes you thing about the friendly face of God... A very powerful acting here.... He delivers
He’s an Angel 😇
For people who are open to reconciling science and religious tradition, here is something that Max Planck said many years ago ~
"Consciousness is a fundamental feature of the Universe." "I regard consciousness as fundamental. I regard matter as derivative from consciousness.
We cannot get behind consciousness. Everything that we talk about, everything that we regard as existing, postulates consciousness."
Max Planck, physicist, 'father of quantum theory'
Spot on, my brother. 👍
Planck further wrote: "All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force. We must assume that behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent mind. This mind is the matrix of all matter."
One of my favorite scenes ever.❤
You cannot offer what is not yours to give.
Me paying with credit card = "I wanna be rich, powerful, and married to my crush"
@@usagi18Yeah then you get fucking robbed
Liz Hurley is crazy good looking in this movie
I'm an atheist and I really enjoy this movie. This scene in particular. It just hits so well. It's on the nose if he really is God (at least up until the final scene in the film where it's basically all but told to you) or just a good person who knows what to say about the ups and downs of life and sees when someone like Elliot is really struggling through life.
Great film and I love some Brendan Fraser.
the cellmate was god, who was working with the devil, to teach Elliott to not do something silly like that.
at the end of the movie, both play chess, to symbolize life, there is good and bad, light and darkness, right and wrong, left and right, and that we should be selfless and must do for others and not ourselves.
Yeah I always thought he was God.
i saw opposites:
he is short, black, played chess with the white chess pieces,
she is tall, white, played with the black chess pieces, (and cheated).
Yeah. Hollywood does make God black sometimes. Hes also black in the Jim Carrey movie where Jim's character gains God's power. It all goes back to evolution, While we truely come from Europe, People have thought for a long time that we come from Africa. Which led people to believe that Adam and Eve were black and since they were made in God's image, Hollywood made God black a few times.
There's more scientific proof coming everyday that first smart humans were actually white and that humanity does Not originate in Africa. But this is besides the point. They make God black because of their own theory of evolution.
a lot of opposites, tall white woman, short black man, but both, easy-speaking. i think we've all been confronted by lucifer and GOD, one time or another. checking on us....
+Sooner Science Nerd: I think Satan is a woman in real life too. I mean, If you consider all things, All of them, Then it cant be a guy. That being's personality is feminine in all religions. Especially christianity. I mean, The word Lucifer literally means "Venus." And if you know who Venus is, The symbol and Goddess of feminity, The one who's symbol became the sign of a female, Then you know what Im talking about. ♀ Lucifer is a girl. At least this one movie got it right.
“Makambo” (Issues) by Ugandan singer-songwriter Geoffrey Oryema was the perfect soundtrack for this touching scene.
I always found this scene so powerful between Elliot and his “Really good friend”. I admire that they never had the man say “I’m god” or “I’m an Angel” it’s up to the viewer to decide which makes it even more powerful. It’s even possible he’s just a normal guy who went through the same thing Elliot did with the devil and he learned so much from it.
"What if God was one of us?"
So glad I decided to rewatch this movie today after, what, a decade? Loved the message.
Yes 🎶
The first person who was genuinely nice to him, he wanna get disrepectful 😂😂😂
The guitar part at the end ties it up so nicely
Kie ez a gitarszoló? Imadom!!!!!
Geoffrey Oriema - makambo... U welcome ❤
@@kingkennedythomasphiri8358 Thankyou so much

Geoffrey Oryema was a Ugandan artist. His father was assassinated under Idi Amin and Geoffrey was smuggled out of the country in a suitcase, eventually settling down in France despite being a world renowned musician. He sometimes collaborated with Brian Eno and Peter Gabriel. Most of his music carries themes of wanting to return home and searching for belonging. This song conveys an aching and desire for his people to stop fighting.
That HAD to be Jesus. I like to picture Jesus as someone like this. Just there when you need him. Tells you what you NEED to hear not what you WANT to here .
The typical religious zealot approaching everything through their indoctrinated agenda.
@@zervver how am I a zealot? Or this character anyway
What if God was one of us? ~Prince.
This is probably a very underrated movie, maybe judged just as a silly easy commedy... but it's so much more than that.
I think everyone, in their lifetime, should watch this movie. Everyone.
Even for this scene only.
...what an amazing movie.
Just watched that movie yesterday after so many years and totally forgot about this scene. This is so true, mindblowing and yet so beautifully simple what He is saying❤ its not about to become someone, its about letting go of the things you are not, so you can finally be the Person again you always have been and should have been❤
This comment hit the spot. Thanks for this. 🙏
I absolutely love this movie, I was going through some very rough times in my life and something like this happened to me and I completely changed my life , I have never forgotten this moment and never will!
What an excellent scene... 👍🏽👍🏽
If you just open up your Heart and open up your Mind... You'll get it...
You got ah really good Friend In Jesus.
One of the most memorable scenes ever made
Imagine maybe we all have talked to God without even knowing it
This is easily one of the best movies Brendan Fraser has ever been in. I know he's been in some good dramas and I absolutely loved The mummy movies but this movie in particular is just so simple and has a lot of positive subliminal messages. I really feel like this is overlooked as potentially one of the best movies of its kind and what a good job he did playing those individual characters
This scene stuck with me when I first saw it, always thought this is what God is really like
love this scene...love this film......thanks for posting
IMO, the most underrated scene in all cinema.
I've been awaken and this is the scene I thought of. I'm crying as the truth pores out of me. We all need to care for each other as we are all fighting the "devil" I know your loved ones can be difficult but stick together. help each other. COMMUNITY. As conscience beings we all need to help each other out fight evil, or whatever you call it.
We have never been more divided than we are now. United we stand
Together we fall.
Michael Clemente amen brother
Nice name brother 😉
Amen
2021 Amen🙏
Just a friend.... wow y'all. Wow. ❤
If anybody is wondering, this is when Elliot talks to God. And the cellmate IS IN fact God.
"You can't really sell your soul anyways, It doesn't really belong to you in the first place. No way no how." This was always my favorite scene. I saw this movie for the first time a couple years after it came out when I was 10. 17 years later and it's still one of my all time favorite movies. It's so underrated! And of course you can't forget about "🎶 Dolphin dolphin I adore everything you are 🎶" 😂😂😂
I love God and jesus they will always protect me from the devil
mike a "just a friend, brother. Just a really good friend."and what a friend we have in him.
mike a they will!
Thats agape love.. God will still love and help you through the
mess you more than likely caused, and wont hold it against you..
The way when he's looking at he doesn't break I contact and then he looks away and then he looks away in my smiles like as if he knows he's going to be ok
i spent two nights in jail for something i did not deserve (in my opinion)
and this scene came to my mind for some reason and just remembered it now
hisham borgol damn brotha.. hopefully everything is alright now
I mean I guess most people will try to justify themselves...What did you do?
Incredible, he gave us free will…and yet never gives up on us. Even after we mess things up. In the dark, there’s always a light. Brighter than anything you could ever imagine, follow it. Then you all will understand the simple concept of love for all, and all for one.
I love Brendan obviously but the dude playing God really pulled it off well, very likeable
I loved this scene when i was young. It always struck me and its the first time I heard Geoffrey Oryema’s music which has stayed with me into my 30s. Very powerful.
And that was before Morgan Freeman was famously known to be God ,Cassius did a good job too !
His face has stuck with me this whole time. What a powerful scene and a beautiful man
I saw this movie for the first time ever today. I needed this, I’ve been struggling with wanting this like acceptance and money, but it showed me that life’s not about getting what you want.
Guitar music is "Makembo" by Geoffrey Oryema.
Thank you 1000 times
Thanks men, i love this song!! Thank You!!
Sorry but the title of the song is Makambo.
I like how Brenden writes him off “I’m not asking you” but by the end of the scene he’s completely intrigued by him
I can’t explain it but his smile is inviting and comforting
God works in mysterious ways.i like the way Gabriel Cassius plays his character.smooth chill vibin.
2 Samuel 22:14...Praise him
God always make a way to get his messages to you...✨
Very Relaxing scene
✨✨✨✨✨✨
That's right Jesus is that kind of Friend to relax you with a breeze send a funny person to kick every bad thought and worry out of your mind and he will Bless you out of nowhere all day long with Peace. To those of you who feel like you had it Good at some point in your Life verses today we'll your Life is still Good you still have a Good mind to remember your pass,You're still able and when was the last time you played musical chairs at a get together it always start with 4 chairs 😁..Always be Grateful God is with you and he always will be..Thank him Daily in advance✨
I LOVE YOU..🦅
The universal spirit that animates and binds all things in existence
Yeah , it's great 👍 😇. Make the right decisions in life, the answers in your heart n soul and you will be rewarded forever 🕯✝️🙏AMEN
The cellmate is played by a guy named Gabriel.
Gabriel...like the angel.
Or gabriel iglesias
The soul that we have is God, God is pure energy that encompasses all existence there for I’m God and everything else is GOD.
This is a perfect example of our lives and so comforting. I've been thinking about this scene a lot lately.
Same
As a young boy this scene always hit me hard and I honestly couldn’t even comprehend why even though I grew up in church, going through my adult hood and playing in the devils playground I found myself in this particular predicament showing that everything came full circle…the most high was with me throughout everything and it sadly it took for me to hit a wall to realize how I’ve been taking his love for granted…the beautiful part is it’s never to late to repent and be saved through mercy and forgiveness, it’s time my brothers and sisters to allow the Holy Spirit a comfortable home in us
Cash from Lockdown! Lol he's in one scene in Bedazzled and steals the film.
Yup! Best scene in the movie, and unexpectedly profound.
He was great in this scene. He really projected the inner peace and confidence that I could imagine God or Jesus having.
He's also in fallen
He's pretty good in black dog with patrick swayze too
Midget
This movie speaks the truth believe me our souls don't belong to us but they belong to God we're going to make mistakes along the way that is correct in time we will open our hearts and our minds to God and give those to Jesus and through the love of Jesus he will guide us to the Gates of Heaven.
Such a surprisingly poignant scene.
@toilet paper ...It means profound, emotionally impactful. Pronounce it like poign sounds like coin, second syllable sounds like yent. Hope that helps.
Basically it was Gabriel... just a friend brother... just a friend.
Gods an amazing deity, he just wants us to be happy and have fun and make the most of his creations. Very inspirational.
I can think of a bunch of so-called "Christians" who need that message smacked into their heads.
I think the best portrayal of God in a movie is in Dogma - Alanis Morrisette rocks!
@@JnEricsonx yup I agree.
Bot flies. Mosquitos. Cancer 🤷♂️
bone cancer in children..yea really wants us to be happy
God is so good
The most powerful scene in cinematography. Then again, thats just my opinion...
What’s amazing about this movie is that he comes to terms with the good that he has to do in life to be a good human; and by the end, the devil is also is his friend, not because they are actually friends but because of the lessons and hardships she put him through. They reminisce about the pain and look back and laugh. It’s the balance of life. Yin and Yang.
My favorite interpretation of God. This scene always gives me peace of mind and faith in my hearts during tough times.
As I'm watching this I realized that after so many years I have made amends with my relationship with God. I was really angry at gone for a long time for taking my mom away. I thought God let me down but as time has gone on as I've made so much of myself. I have healed my spirit as best as I can and now I have a pretty good relationship with God. I am not a religious person but a spiritual person. This video is so correct you're going to make mistakes along the way but all that matters is that you have an open mind a loving heart and faith
