One of the best scenes of the movie. It proves that God is powerful and if you have faith in him he can make you be able to move on. Even in hard times.
@@brownking96 how about a sack of bones…..first, not your homie, secondly, God isn’t a he, and more importantly the premise of this movie that the Bible is important or that it is the word of god. But I’m bad, didn’t notice how old your comment was. In fairness, there is and has been a endless stream of bad movies like this that influence people and how the perceive reality. I didn’t need to pile on you. Please forgive.
@publicvideos2755God is real and you'll know that the moment you die and wake up in hell. Why not humble yourself and get saved? John 3:16 (KJV) "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
I hope that everyone who is watching and hearing this - including myself - can speak such a prayer at the end of his live and that it will express the truth about us and our live. God bless us all to reach this goal!
I'm an agnostic and don't believe in organized religion, but I love this movie. The older I get, the more I admire faith as an outsider. I don't have that kind of conviction, but I respect it. And if it makes a person better, it can't be bad.
Christian Gerhardt Paul was a man of color an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, who was mistaken for an black Egyptian: He was not a white man, neither were the Israelites. I know all who will see this comment will loose their mind, oh well truth hurts✌🏿😁
I am not a religious man. In truth, the experiences of my life have turned me toward the path of the agnostic. Though I follow no written faith I will not deny that there is some force, some greater power at work in the cosmos. An essence of eternity which I cannot yet comprehend. Yet, when I hear these words, spoken in whispered tones, I cannot help but be moved to tears. The cosmos is beyond human understanding; out of the struggle to know what is, what was, and what may yet be comes the adventure that is Life. Walk the path brothers and sisters. Fight the fight...Keep the Faith.
A double edged Sword just passed through my soul by listening this prayer... God please, help me to conquer sin in life which there's no way to defeat in death!!! All the glory be to you Jesus!!!
God works through those who have faith. This movie shows that. Faith keeps us very strong and keeps us moving on. Excellent movie and Denzel rocked it!
Dunno if anyone will ever see this, but after reading many of the comments I thought I needed to comment. I live in a world that is very broken. In many ways life for many has become similar to the world of Eli. I am broken. I need God. Yes I am weak. Yes I need a crutch. A year ago the Lord told me this. "Stop trying to be... something that you are not. Let me be... in you... who I AM." I am not trying to prove God. If you do not need God as I do then move along. God still Loves you.
A part of God's spirit is within, there's no escaping that. If we don't succeed then try try again. I hope you are well brother. I send you peace and wellness thoughts. Peace, Love and Cheers!
"Weak", "a crutch"? No my friend you are not weak if you believe in God, and our savior Jesus Christ is absolutely no crutch. I hear that from non believers all the time and that's fine they can denounce God and not have faith. Let God judge them, I will try my best to talk to them about the lord and Jesus Christ in the way I can (the great commission), I am not an exceptional talker but I try my best not to be too pushy on non believers (atheists) but I also do NOT let them think that it's okay to sin but that "God will see that I'm really deep down a good person so I'll still be saved", No! Sin is sin, but with that said, we are all sinners, no one is perfect, but we don't have to be thanks to the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for us. If we believe in him and trust in him then we have a chance to be saved. If you believe in God as I do then what happens on this earth is temporary and of materialism which we won't need in the afterlife if we make it to heaven. I believe in Jesus Christ our savior and it sounds like you do too and I hope and pray that whatever hardships are affecting you this present day that you find that inner strength and peace to know that there will be a better place for us in the kingdom of the lord where we will know no such thing as the hardships you are facing. That is my hope and faith 🙏 for you. Please continue to pray and to believe even when those around you mock you for believing. It is they that I feel sorry for. Thank you for posting this video, this is such an amazing movie that I am in shock that Hollywood would even make such a film about faith and God. This movie and Denzel Washington's performance in the film inspire me. Just so you know a little about me I grew up poor in a big metropolis of California in a neighborhood filled with gangs, violence, drugs, etc. I was raised catholic and taught to believe in God but got away from God as I became an adult due to mistakenly following liberal leftist ideologies that are just all around California. I was living in sin (having sexual relations with a married woman) and addicted to porn. I even denounced God at a certain point in my life, and believed myself to be an atheist and believed in abortion, when mocked for my faith, in front of people whom I thought were smart and wanted to impress (that was me being weak and not having courage). I could never quite fit in though with the liberal ideologies that taught that it is man who gives us our rights and freedoms and not God. I could never quite get onboard with the pursuit of hedonistic sexual pleasures and vices for it's own sake and at all cost over the sacrifice and penance that a Christian must make. Knowingly sinning and not caring bothered me. The liberal ideology never truly jived with me. My faith and Christian roots were always there , even just enough to keep me from going full off the deep end when I doubted that God existed and that Hollywood celebrities and famous people were the wise ones with their woke marxist ideologies. I was not the best leftist (and for that I'm grateful lol). I can't remember when exactly the light bulb went off but it was more of a gradual thing that I slowly began to reconnect with my Christian roots. I think it also had a lot do with this elderly man whom I befriended and he was an avid Bible reader and helping him out with putting page tabs on his Bible, so he could read it better, did I begin my journey back to where I'm at now, a person of faith who will never go back. All thanks to God and to my friend who is now resting in peace. I'm married now to a beautiful woman of faith as well, she helped me break my porn addiction and we have a great home and I have a good career that helped me enter the middle class. I hope that I have atoned for my grave sin of denouncing God in my earlier years and that through my faith in Jesus Christ I can still make it to heaven. I've read that even the worst of the worst can still be saved as long as they truly repent and trust and believe in Jesus Christ so I try to do my best to talk about Jesus Christ to others who may have doubts or are non-believers. Well that is a little about me. I have nowhere near the hardships that you must have faced or are facing but I just wanted to let you know that I once doubted God and questioned his existence , and was also trying to be something that I wasn't, but realized in the end that I'm a Christian and a follower of God and that that is where I'm most happiest and at peace with. Thank you once again for posting this video. Peace be with you and may God bless you.
Just watched this movie on television today, I have to say that this was a very moving and powerful movie. It shows the strength of humanity with the will and faith of a higher belief. I myself was never one to believe it if I hadn't seen it, but in recent years I have become a firm believer that WE are all a higher power ourselves. We are our God. Now I'm not trying to start any arguments or anything of that nature. What I was intending to say is the climax brought me instantly to and tears.
Have you ever considered your purpose? Why you are here? The day of your death? What you will have and already accomplished on earth? Where you will go after you leave this world? What kind of legacy you will leave behind? When we consider these things, the more we should consider the choices we make... Watching this made me think of that... I pray I will be able to leave such an impact, but that when my mission here is complete I will have made GOD, Family & my love ones proud:)
Denzel Washington hands down did an amazing job on this movie, it is very influential, i had lost touch with god previously about a year ago and then i saw this, but just watching this movie alone has helped me believe again even more than ever in god, cant explain how but it has, god just works in mysterious ways.
@eskyguard I loved the way he just kept on trusting God and following what the Spirit of God was directing him to do. He was not religious but he knew the reality of a relationship with God. I also appreciated the way the bad guy was portrayed; He saw the bible and religion as a way to gain control of weak minded followers. Eli was a man humbly and obediently walking with God and loving a lost humanity. Nothing else was nearly as important to him. He knew God in reality.
Personally I am ,or WAS,... an athiest. When I heard this prayer my eyes opened wide, for the first time in my life I felt my heart beat insatiably. I felt blessed, somewhat enlightened by an epiphany, a moment of clarity. He really is there for us all if we welcome and embrace his words and his wisdom isn't he... I think this is his divine guidance for me, and many others. Lost souls wandering aimlessly without any real goal in life.. Forgive me for my sins :(
Sorry to jump in so late. I think it is very simple and this is how I live. Jesus knows where the party is going to be. If I want to go to the party then I need to follow him. If I don't follow him then I won't arrive at the party. If I follow the rest of the world then I will end up somewhere else. I love God and I do want to end up at the party. All are invited. If you don't love God then don't go. This is not about religious practice but a relationship with the creator. Eli followed God!
Will I be able to say this to God at my end ? This scene spoke to me. Even though I've seen this movie many times. Yesterday I made some changes in my life
I am glad that it was encouraging to you. I haven't read comments on here for a long time. I had no idea that it would spark controversy. I posted it because it was encouraging to me. I like the movie because it is about a man who had memorized the bible, but what set him apart was the fact that he was led by God himself across the country. He was a man who had denied himself, taken up his cross, and was literally following Jesus. Gary Oldmans character saw the bible as a way to control others
I am not really religious or anything. But I have had some tough times in my life these last few weeks and listening to this really has helped get through everything. Sometimes you need to put away doubt and believe in something with good intentions. And nobody troll me about the bible or anything.
Favorite part of this scene was 1:04 and on; music in sync with the movement of machinery and human ingenuity (i.e. printing press). Almost like a ballet.
I've watched this many-a-time I needed encouraging. Thanks for posting this. I saw this movie when I was away from home in Florida working on the oil spill. I related to the character being on his own trying to do the right thing. The Lord comes soon. Amen.
Matthew 11:28-30 (NIV) 28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
"Look, I am sending my messenger who will clear the path before me; suddenly the Lord whom you are seeking will come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you take delight is coming." - Malachi 3:1 "Look, the day is coming, burning like an oven. All the arrogant ones and all those doing evil will become straw. The coming day will burn them, says the Lord of heavenly forces, leaving them neither root nor branch. But the sun of righteousness will rise on those revering my name; healing will be in its wings so that you will go forth and jump about like calves in the stall. You will crush the wicked; they will be like dust beneath the soles of your feet on the day that I am preparing, says the Lord of heavenly forces. Remember the Instruction from Moses, my servant, to whom I gave Instruction and rules for all Israel at Horeb. Look, I am sending *Elijah* the prophet to you, before the great and terrifying day of the Lord arrives." - Malachi 4:1-5
Thanks for posting. I liked it better with the music but it's great either way. Best part of the movie. People can say what they want or will but God is Real... He has made Himself painfully clear to me.
I read some of the comments. And i just want to say that all humans deserve hell, but God chose to give us salvation by dying in our place. That is why you come humbly and with humility to God because he chose to save you because of his love not by how righteous you are.
I understand- just remember,God can draw a straight line with a crooked stick. That wasn't Eli's idea,the book people were more imterested in restoring knowledge in&of itself,not necessarily loyalty to the Word,per se. . The movie was full of conflicting motivations- there were many contrasts as well. Lombardi(the Curator) saw the Book, Carnegie saw the Power.... Eli sought the Purity. I'll say this portion was my favorite part, in spite of the Koran issue- which did grieve me.
@jetpoweredgriffin Whenever I listen to this on 3G or standard service it's words only. On Wi-FI,it's words AND music. This is the only video I know of that does this. Thank you,Lord... and thank you TenacityQ for posting.
@TenacityQ I don't know... I thought it was about both... this man's walk, and preserving the book for those who would value it for more than a control mechanism... "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. " (Rom 10:17)
@notessimodude As is said in the movie, "Do for others more than you do for yourself." The golden rule. Pride is one of the biggest obstacles in doing this. Some(not all) Christians think it's their way or the highway. Athiests(some, not all) are convinced there is no god, and put down those that believe. Both are results of pride.
What's funny, is that when he puts the Bible up on the shelf. There is the Torah right there. For those that don't know, the Torah is basically the old testament in the Bible.
He stayed on the path - stayed the course & fought the good fight - finished the race & kept the faith ! Repented & was asking for his grace and grateful. For the friend and angel hw had met along his journey - and now he can rest fulfilling his message abs mission to help rebuild faith in life and people again to start over and begin again with hope - he read the bible everyday and the summary he got from it to explain to her was to help others and do for others rather then himself - 😇🙏 that’s the entire summary of the enormous big good book - google Hebrews 11:1 called believing in something you cannot see but you know it exist having faith to know there is something bigger than us in the world and to treat others as you would want to be treated in the end only love and kindness matters - right before the ending prayer he began with the book of Moses and the verse 1 the heavens created verse 2 the darkness - and verse 3 LET THERE BE LIGHT !
@jetpoweredgriffin I was using my iPhone i think. but i have found other videos on youtube where he is talking, but it doesnt say the same thing that he said when i watched it on tv, so what i saw on tv must have been the longer version? idk, but i like that way better
@CarneyAsada101 I'm not sure if you mean this but for some reason it plays with voice only,no music, whenever I watch it on my iPhone. This is the only video I have seen do this on UA-cam. If I use Wi-Fi on the phone the music will play,though. So,if you want to hear voice without music,try using an iPhone on standard connection. Maybe it will work for you. I have no idea why,though but I am serious.
@CarneyAsada101 Try the DVD. It may just have seemed that way the first time you watched it. The second time I noticed all kinds of things. Lots of fleur-de-lis(I'm from New Orleans). I always liked how they show the "flower of light in the field of darkness"- the sunflower when she visits his grave. It was just like the Johnny Cash "Live from Folsom Prison" quote he mentioned to her earlier. Eli was certainly walking: "By Faith.... NOT by sight"! Peace, -g
god does not control. he gave us "free will". it is up to us to do the right thing. we men, we have be stricken with greed. we are in a world that is seperated by ethnicity. we hurt eachother instead of heal eachother. we view one another as to distant strangers instead of sister and brother. we have lost our way, and as we continue on this path of destruction it'll only get worse. the evidence lies right in front of our very eyes, but sometimes the hardest thing to see is right in front of you.
how about we enjoy our lives the best way we can and w the pple we love, and stop trying 2 figure out what comes after... we will ALL find out , sooner than we all think...
@notessimodude I suppose the simple answer to your question is: no. But it is more complicated than that. It may depend on whether or not you are truly sorry(and ask for forgiveness) for any wrong you may have done in your life, at or before the time of judgement.
@sp3xs I have discovered that I merely have to open my eyes in the morning and see the clouds or the sunny sky and hear the birds in the air and the sound of my children at my feet to recognize that I am here by intelligent design. When I sought out God with all of my heart, He made himself very apparent to me. I would suggest that you could try seeking Him out with all that is in you and see if you don't find the evidence of His existence that you need.
@TenacityQ I chuckled at the intelligent design part. It's one thing to have faith in a spiritual God, and I have no qualms with this. It's another to rationalize your reality to fit what's inside of the Bible.
Every time I hear this prayer I cry like a baby. So touching! ❤ Praise God!
One of the best scenes of the movie. It proves that God is powerful and if you have faith in him he can make you be able to move on. Even in hard times.
You do realize this is a movie, and has nothing to do with actual reality.

Possibly one of the most underrated movies of all time. “My words will never pass away”.
I hope that everyone who is watching and hearing this - including myself - can speak such a prayer at the end of his live and that it will express the truth about us and our live. God bless us all to reach this goal!
Tears flow for what is presented here.

I'm an agnostic and don't believe in organized religion, but I love this movie. The older I get, the more I admire faith as an outsider. I don't have that kind of conviction, but I respect it. And if it makes a person better, it can't be bad.
2Ti_4:7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith:
Paul just before he died a martyr for Christ
Christian Gerhardt Paul was a man of color an Israelite from the tribe of Benjamin, who was mistaken for an black Egyptian: He was not a white man, neither were the Israelites. I know all who will see this comment will loose their mind, oh well truth hurts✌🏿😁
Thank-you.
@@shawday7911 Does it matter what colour he was?
@@shawday7911 what is your point. Paul was obviously not an Anglo Saxon white person. The truth doesn't hurt and the obvious isn't clever.
One of my favourite verses.

that prayer goes, love it, god is amazing

very strong and uplifting to me. I hope i can keep the faith
Love this movie from beginning to the end so inspiring.
If King James was good enough for Saint Paul and Eli, then its good enough for me!
King James is Masonic

@NoQuo89 The song is called "Panoramic". It's the first song on the film's soundtrack.
the music, the quotes, makes me shiver like I'm on the edge of a knife of my life.
Thankyou for English language, much appreciated
Thanx for putting the Eli's prayer.great job Bro.
9 years after my inicial like i still love this piece
the Apostle Paul....what a great and divinely inspired man he was
@eskyguard
I loved the way he just kept on trusting God and following what the Spirit of God was directing him to do.
He was not religious but he knew the reality of a relationship with God.
I also appreciated the way the bad guy was portrayed; He saw the bible and religion as a way to gain control of weak minded followers.
Eli was a man humbly and obediently walking with God and loving a lost humanity. Nothing else was nearly as important to him. He knew God in reality.

He really is there for us all if we welcome and embrace his words and his wisdom isn't he...
I think this is his divine guidance for me, and many others. Lost souls wandering aimlessly without any real goal in life..
Forgive me for my sins :(
"I'm so sorry about the bad"
When he quoted what Paul said I almost cry.
Though I'm an atheist I still love this movie and this prayer. It doesn't give me faith but it does give me hope whenever I see this clip...
Give thanks for the king return......♥️💚💛
Fight the good fight....amen
I have fought the good fight !
Finished the Race
I kept the Faith ! Amen ❤️🙏
I simply do not know , but I know this I should not be alive. Something or someone spared me. This means something.
"I fought a good fight, I finished the race, I kept the faith" -paul-

I think it is very simple and this is how I live. Jesus knows where the party is going to be. If I want to go to the party then I need to follow him. If I don't follow him then I won't arrive at the party.

28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
beautiful. I want this read at my funeral when I die (eventually!)
fantastic movie!
Every one believes in something higher that's what makes you human
Ive spoken to God many times...and he has yet to give me any answers of his existance.
One of my favorite movies. Wonderful cinema.
such a great movie. definitely deserved more than what it got
Very well said and said with great insight.
This was the greatest movie to air since "A Beautiful Mind".
Beautiful words i loved this movie praise you lord our father
I love that last shot of Sahara walking. It is the best part of the movie for me. A good end.
"Look, I am sending my messenger who will clear the path before me; suddenly the Lord whom you are seeking will come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you take delight is coming." - Malachi 3:1
"Look, the day is coming, burning like an oven. All the arrogant ones and all those doing evil will become straw. The coming day will burn them, says the Lord of heavenly forces, leaving them neither root nor branch. But the sun of righteousness will rise on those revering my name; healing will be in its wings so that you will go forth and jump about like calves in the stall. You will crush the wicked; they will be like dust beneath the soles of your feet on the day that I am preparing, says the Lord of heavenly forces. Remember the Instruction from Moses, my servant, to whom I gave Instruction and rules for all Israel at Horeb. Look, I am sending *Elijah* the prophet to you, before the great and terrifying day of the Lord arrives." - Malachi 4:1-5
Thanks for posting.
I liked it better with the music but it's great either way.
Best part of the movie.
People can say what they want or will but God is Real...
He has made Himself painfully clear to me.
I LOVE this scene :)
BEST in the entire Film.
my right ear enjoyed this
Lol
All of your
The infinite universe of AHURA MAZDA 🌹
Thank you
Love this movie
I read some of the comments. And i just want to say that all humans deserve hell, but God chose to give us salvation by dying in our place. That is why you come humbly and with humility to God because he chose to save you because of his love not by how righteous you are.
It doesn't feel like it. time flies so fast It turns out that this film was made more than a century ago. Since my first time watched it. 😢
I understand-
just remember,God can draw a straight line with a crooked stick.
That wasn't Eli's idea,the book people were more imterested in restoring knowledge in&of itself,not necessarily loyalty to the Word,per se.
.
The movie was full of conflicting motivations-
there were many contrasts as well.
Lombardi(the Curator) saw the Book,
Carnegie saw the Power....
Eli sought the Purity.
I'll say this portion was my favorite part,
in spite of the Koran issue-
which did grieve me.
So, he was a blind monk?! thats intense!! such a great movie!
Last movie i saw with someone that i care before she passed away..r.i.p
great movie
God exists in us. That's as far as it goes for religion...or should have gone.
@jetpoweredgriffin
Whenever I listen to this on 3G or standard service it's words only.
On Wi-FI,it's words AND music.
This is the only video I know of that does this.
Thank you,Lord...
and thank you TenacityQ for posting.
@BeppeOwnage This is a scene in the movie. Eli in the movie while training the girl how to fight. She cut him open on accident.
@TenacityQ
I don't know... I thought it was about both... this man's walk, and preserving the book for those who would value it for more than a control mechanism...
"So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. "
(Rom 10:17)
But by the Grace of God go I
@notessimodude As is said in the movie, "Do for others more than you do for yourself." The golden rule. Pride is one of the biggest obstacles in doing this. Some(not all) Christians think it's their way or the highway. Athiests(some, not all) are convinced there is no god, and put down those that believe. Both are results of pride.
was she wearing the "The Beats" by Dr. Dre? : )
What's funny, is that when he puts the Bible up on the shelf. There is the Torah right there. For those that don't know, the Torah is basically the old testament in the Bible.
Stoney Monks really??!?
The Quran (Koran) and many other HolyBooks were also there. One God. One Faith. One Humanity.
He stayed on the path - stayed the course & fought the good fight - finished the race & kept the faith ! Repented & was asking for his grace and grateful. For the friend and angel hw had met along his journey - and now he can rest fulfilling his message abs mission to help rebuild faith in life and people again to start over and begin again with hope - he read the bible everyday and the summary he got from it to explain to her was to help others and do for others rather then himself - 😇🙏 that’s the entire summary of the enormous big good book - google Hebrews 11:1 called believing in something you cannot see but you know it exist having faith to know there is something bigger than us in the world and to treat others as you would want to be treated in the end only love and kindness matters - right before the ending prayer he began with the book of Moses and the verse 1 the heavens created verse 2 the darkness - and verse 3 LET THERE BE LIGHT !
@jetpoweredgriffin
I was using my iPhone i think. but i have found other videos on youtube where he is talking, but it doesnt say the same thing that he said when i watched it on tv, so what i saw on tv must have been the longer version? idk, but i like that way better
Why do I always come back here?
cuz You wanna to be spiritual man
@sp3xs even in this hollywood movie i believe it says "trust by faith not by sight". in order to recieve, first you have to give..
@GIStevens How do you know God wants us to have faith in him if he never "appeared to you and the world" and told you to do so?
@SuperJJCN real talk. faith is everything. one love brother
@CarneyAsada101
I'm not sure if you mean this but for some reason it plays with voice only,no music,
whenever I watch it on my iPhone.
This is the only video I have seen do this on UA-cam.
If I use Wi-Fi on the phone the music will play,though.
So,if you want to hear voice without music,try using an iPhone on standard connection.
Maybe it will work for you.
I have no idea why,though but I am serious.
Whats the song playing at the end when she is playing with the iPod? Please help I'm In love with that song and I don't know what it is!
Fair enough. Let's call it a day.
@CarneyAsada101
Try the DVD.
It may just have seemed that way the first time you watched it.
The second time I noticed all kinds of things.
Lots of fleur-de-lis(I'm from New Orleans).
I always liked how they show the "flower of light in the field of darkness"-
the sunflower when she visits his grave.
It was just like the Johnny Cash "Live from Folsom Prison" quote he mentioned to her earlier.
Eli was certainly walking:
"By Faith....
NOT by sight"!
Peace,

god does not control. he gave us "free will". it is up to us to do the right thing. we men, we have be stricken with greed. we are in a world that is seperated by ethnicity. we hurt eachother instead of heal eachother. we view one another as to distant strangers instead of sister and brother. we have lost our way, and as we continue on this path of destruction it'll only get worse. the evidence lies right in front of our very eyes, but sometimes the hardest thing to see is right in front of you.
@bagofbarn Where did you get this? Is there some kind of book or a graphic novel of some sort. If you send me a link it would be very helpful.
@TenacityQ I think you should also read the newspapers in the morning to see how magnificent god is.
I wish I could have watched this movie with my father he would have liked it... maybe I did 😜
how about we enjoy our lives the best way we can and w the pple we love, and stop trying 2 figure out what comes after... we will ALL find out , sooner than we all think...
الثانيه السابعة عشره من الفيديو فيها موسيقي رائعة جداً
What's the song called during this scene?
@notessimodude I suppose the simple answer to your question is: no. But it is more complicated than that. It may depend on whether or not you are truly sorry(and ask for forgiveness) for any wrong you may have done in your life, at or before the time of judgement.
@brownking96
Amen-
especially in the hard times....
it is in the Crucible that the gold is made pure.
@sp3xs
I have discovered that I merely have to open my eyes in the morning and see the clouds or the sunny sky and hear the birds in the air and the sound of my children at my feet to recognize that I am here by intelligent design. When I sought out God with all of my heart, He made himself very apparent to me. I would suggest that you could try seeking Him out with all that is in you and see if you don't find the evidence of His existence that you need.
Xq no en edpañol?
@TenacityQ I chuckled at the intelligent design part. It's one thing to have faith in a spiritual God, and I have no qualms with this. It's another to rationalize your reality to fit what's inside of the Bible.
what happend to the world in the book of eli
@Masa7o Epic doesnt even describe it. Its Beyond that.
