"JESUS IN LA is about moving to California and leaving my friends and family behind to pursue my dream. When I first got to LA I thought that I was going to finally find the happiness that I had always been looking for. Not long after I arrived, I signed my first record deal. Got dropped. Lost friends. Spent all my money… and had to move back in with my parents. It was then that I realized the thing that I was looking for most was in front of me the whole time. My true friends and family. Even at my lowest point, being back home with my family is what made me truly happy. The song isn’t a literal take on religion or about Jesus at all. It’s about searching for hope and happiness and realizing those things aren’t always where you think you’ll find them." -Alec Benjamin
Am I the only one who ISNT here from Dream singing it💀 I was singing amd listening to this before I found Dream and I'm honestly not mad I found him :)
@@Im-xq5xf Not really I was doing some research into this song and it's meaning and this was someone else's story and he based that friend or whatever story in his song
*Lyrics: Alec Benjamin - Jesus In LA* [Verse 1: Alec Benjamin] Well, I shook hands with the devil Down on the south side And he bought us both a drink With a pad and a pencil, sat by his side I said, "Tell me what you think" [Pre-Chorus: Alec Benjamin] I've been looking for my savior Looking for my truth I even asked my shrink He brought me down to his level Said, "Son, you're not special You won't find him where you think [Chorus: Alec Benjamin] "You won't find him down on Sunset Or at a party in the hills At the bottom of the bottle Or when you're tripping on some pills When they sold you the dream, you were just 16 Packed a bag and ran away And it's a crying shame you came all this way 'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA And it's a crying shame you came all this way 'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA" [Verse 2: Alec Benjamin] Took a sip of his whiskey Said, "Now that you're with me Well, I think that you should stay Yeah, I know you've been busy Searching through the city So let me share the way [Pre-Chorus: Alec Benjamin] "I know I'm not your savior Know I'm not your truth But I think we could be friends" He said, "Come down to my level Hang out with the devil Let me tell you, in the end... [Chorus: Alec Benjamin] "You won't find him down on sunset Or at a party in the hills At the bottom of the bottle Or when you're tripping on some pills When they sold you the dream, you were just 16 Packed a bag and ran away And it's a crying shame you came all this way 'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA And it's a crying shame you came all this way 'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA" [Bridge: Alec Benjamin] And that is when I knew that it was time to go home And that is when I realized that I was alone And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away And I don't care what they say [Chorus: Alec Benjamin] You won't find him down on sunset Or at a party in the hills At the bottom of the bottle Or when you're tripping on some pills When they sold you the dream, you were just 16 Packed a bag and ran away And it's a crying shame you came all this way 'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA I won't find him down on sunset Or at a party in the hills At the bottom of the bottle Or when I'm tripping on some pills When they sold me the dream, I was just 16 Packed my bag and ran away And it's a crying shame I came all this way 'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA And it's a crying shame I came all this way 'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
My favorite part was '' well they sold you a dream when your just 16, packed your bag and ran away, and it's a crying shame you came all this way because you won't find Jesus in LA." Who's been with alec since the beginning?
When they sold you the dream you were just 16 *Dream intensely banging his head in the table* Edit: Months later and they're making music together. Wonderful.
No you are not. I have mixed feelings about this, as i'm happy that this song is getting a lot of attention, but the fact that it couldnt get all this attention without it makes me sad. Everyone's talking about dream, dont get me wrong I love dream, but its such a deep song and everyone's talking about this Minecraft youtuber in the comments.
No I have been his fan for years it’s kinda sad that majority of people here are dream stans don’t get me wrong I’m a dream fan to but Alec deserve the world he is soo underrated 😞
gabriel lucas it has nothing to do with Jesus or the devil. It’s about leaving your friends and family to pursue your dreams but realizing that not everything is going to work out the way you wanted and moving back to find your true happiness, with your friends and family.
my religious ocd be like: trust me when I say this- DO NOT MESS WITH THE DEVIL! He has ruined everything. My life, my friends and family’s lives, EVERYTHING in all aspects. Please. Don’t folllow him. He’s called “the father of lies” for a reason (John 8:44 KJV). Whatever you think he’s promising you, he’s going to stab you in the back. Trust me. I wanted love, instead I delved into sexual desires. At 7 years old I didn’t know what I was doing, but as I got older, I understood what I was doing. But it was too late. It became a habit. At 16, God made me better, but the actions still haunt me, and I still mess up, but not as much (I’m 17, now). That’s the grace of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost for ya. (or Spirit. Holy Ghost sounds better, though). you see, the devil gives you a perverted version of what God stands for and wants you to have. Give up your desires and follow Him- He’ll give you the desires of your heart (see psalm 37:3-5). this may seem like mere words. Black shapes on a white background, but I’m pouring my heart out to you so you don’t suffer like I am. “The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they don't wish to see anyone else suffer the way they did.” thanks for coming to my Tedtalk. Ayo, I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events. IF anyone is interested, read on NOTE: I can’t prove God to you. It all comes down to your choice to put your trust in Jesus Christ. That’s all faith is-TRUST. Unfortunately in these recent years, science and “religion” (as we know them today) have bastardized each other and themselves. Point is, faith is trusting in Jesus. It’s not a blind jump into what non-believers call nothingness. Billy Graham said something reminiscent of that. I have no power over you. I can only tell you, but I can’t force you. (I mean, we’re conversing online lol. I’m not at your location… yet) james 4:8 “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Check out “HolyLandSite, Cold-Case Christianity, Delafé Testimonies.” There may be more, but those are the ones I know of. Brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away. repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down." I don’t want you to suffer like I did/do. YOU WILL LOSE ALMOST EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO YOU! PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKES, REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM YOURSELVES! It’s a pit you *CAN NOT get out of. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! I LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU TO TELL YOU THIS! He is, in the words of Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also WAY better than lust. love is greater than lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and possibly physically. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. God knew we were wack, but He decided He He’ll come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot. religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27) also, we have various types of evidence that backs up the Bible. Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day. The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info). We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other things. Look it up, it’s good stuff (HolyLandSite). more evidence for the Bible concerning cosmology and divine revelation in job 26:7, proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22 (read on) The idea that the earth was round can be dated back to 600 BC in Greece. It was more widely accepted around the 3rd century (300 BC-201 BC) Note: time was “labeled” differently back then. for example, year 3000, year 420, year 69, year 0, year 1, year 2… and so on. Job 26:7: “. . .He [God] hangs the earth on nothing” The book of Job was supposedly written at 2100 BC. Proverbs 8:27: “. . .when He drew a circle on the face of the deep. . .” Proverbs was possibly written between 970 and 686 BC Isaiah 40:22: “it is He who sits above the circles of the earth. . .” Isaiah was written between 739 and 680 BC. This one doesn’t pertain to cosmology, but it refers to divine revelation nonetheless. Isaiah 11:15 “The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.” Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.” How did they know about this? You tell me, my fellow Zoomerz. The Holy Spirit exists. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now. Check out “Delafé Testimonies.” They got some good stuff as well YOU CANNOT DENY THE WORK GOD DOES IN PEOPLE’S LIVES also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt. There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as: a) Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion; b) Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ Christians, confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command c) Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers d) Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son) e) Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified. f) Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers (See cold-case Christianity for more details) Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection: 1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect) 2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs 3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus 4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone 5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus). 6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback) Thanks for reading. If I came off preachy or rude, please know that wasn’t my intention. Hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general. thanks, again
@Merqueen EVERYONE IS TALKING ABOUT A MINECRAFT YOUTUBRR IN A SONG THAT IS SO DEEP LIKE "bro my mom died DREAM DREAM DREAM" LIKE SERIOUSLY SHUT THE FUCK UP
When I first heard this, I didn't really like it. Then I came back and listened to it a second time, and figured it was okay. The third time I heard, I thought, *where has this been all my life*
dream version: "You won't find him down on Sunset Or at a party in the hills At the **bang** bottom **bang** of the bottle **silence** **silence** they sold you the dream, you were just 16 it's a crying shame u came all this way cause u won't find Jesus in LA'' **silence**
i was obsessed with alec benjamin before hearing dream sing this, but totally forgot abt him... obviously im also an smp fan and welcome all the new fans
I think he's talking about how if you go to LA and see the way people live and what all they do just to get fame it would be hard to imagine Jesus being there. But I could be wrong that's just my guess
Holy shit .. This dude never dissapoints us ! Though I love all your songs from the starting but this song and 'must have been the wind' are my all time favourite !!! Dude just keep singing these awesome songs .. BEST OF LUCK FOR EVERY THING ... PEACE
As someone in the dream smp fandom, i love this song, but i didnt find it from dream, i was listening to alec’s music before that :) and im so sorry to people who think we stole this song! Personally, i have not and will not claim this song in my fandom in any way, this song is its own song!!
Me and my friend sang this together and I hear another one of the song we sang together we sang this one and must of been the wind and I really miss her. It’s been so long stupid virus
hows it going friend Also, i don't mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested
"Who else here because of dream?" "Can't be the only one here from dream?" I knew this masterpiece before dream, but i think i like it even more after.
@@AbBeiBei526 Ohh good coz I'm Christian and when I first heard the song and the lyrics "shook hands with the devil" and "you won't find Jesus in LA" I was about to rant but it turns out its a metaphor
Thank God for giving this blessing and the eyes that make me see the beautiful things and the great power of love and the power of faith. Thank you to all God for loving and protecting me and my family.

"JESUS IN LA is about moving to California and leaving my friends and family behind to pursue my dream. When I first got to LA I thought that I was going to finally find the happiness that I had always been looking for. Not long after I arrived, I signed my first record deal. Got dropped. Lost friends. Spent all my money… and had to move back in with my parents. It was then that I realized the thing that I was looking for most was in front of me the whole time. My true friends and family. Even at my lowest point, being back home with my family is what made me truly happy. The song isn’t a literal take on religion or about Jesus at all.

*Lyrics: Alec Benjamin - Jesus In LA*
[Verse 1: Alec Benjamin]
Well, I shook hands with the devil
Down on the south side
And he bought us both a drink
With a pad and a pencil, sat by his side
I said, "Tell me what you think"
[Pre-Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
I've been looking for my savior
Looking for my truth
I even asked my shrink
He brought me down to his level
Said, "Son, you're not special
You won't find him where you think
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
"You won't find him down on Sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream, you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA"
[Verse 2: Alec Benjamin]
Took a sip of his whiskey
Said, "Now that you're with me
Well, I think that you should stay
Yeah, I know you've been busy
Searching through the city
So let me share the way
[Pre-Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
"I know I'm not your savior
Know I'm not your truth
But I think we could be friends"
He said, "Come down to my level
Hang out with the devil
Let me tell you, in the end...
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
"You won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream, you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA"
[Bridge: Alec Benjamin]
And that is when I knew that it was time to go home
And that is when I realized that I was alone
And all the vibrant colors from the lights fade away
And I don't care what they say
[Chorus: Alec Benjamin]
You won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when you're tripping on some pills
When they sold you the dream, you were just 16
Packed a bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame you came all this way
'Cause you won't find Jesus in LA
I won't find him down on sunset
Or at a party in the hills
At the bottom of the bottle
Or when I'm tripping on some pills
When they sold me the dream, I was just 16
Packed my bag and ran away
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA
And it's a crying shame I came all this way
'Cause I won't find Jesus in LA

'' well they sold you a dream when your just 16, packed your bag and ran away, and it's a crying shame you came all this way because you won't find Jesus in LA."
Who's been with alec since the beginning?
i’ve been with him since the beginning and that’s my favorite part too!

Who Else?

Dream brought me here 😅
Same same

Holy shit. Dream has brought attention to Alec Benjamin. And I happy. Alec deserves this.
I don’t know I’ve been here before dream became big
bruh tf u mean????? alec was already famous, his other songs has far more views than his colab with dream

hey is this song means you cant find the sarvior in la beacuse jesus is the only savior and his not la his on heaven im a rigth?
im probably the only one here from dream singing this lmao
no i’m here too :) my comfort clip is him singing this
@@Phoebe-wt5vi me too:)
I'm here too
You'd be mistaken
Dude. I just seen MULTIPLE people in the comments say that they came from Dream. I also came from Dream. 😂😂😂
anyone here after dream’s new song dropped?
When they sold you the dream you were just 16
*Dream intensely banging his head in the table*
Edit: Months later and they're making music together. Wonderful.
No that was at "At the bottom of the bottle"
dream at 16: 🏃🏼🚓
Ah yes. ✨Bang your head on the table with Dream✨
WE KNOW YOU’RE HERE FROM DREAM- OMG- AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO JUST LOVES ALEC’S MUSIC BEFORE DREAM
No you are not. I have mixed feelings about this, as i'm happy that this song is getting a lot of attention, but the fact that it couldnt get all this attention without it makes me sad. Everyone's talking about dream, dont get me wrong I love dream, but its such a deep song and everyone's talking about this Minecraft youtuber in the comments.
@@Ash-yl3zc FR TY ITS DRIVING ME NUTS
ITS SO ANNOYING HOW PEOPLE ARE LIKE "wHo ElSe cAmE hErE fRoM dReAm SiNgInG iT?" YOU ARE NOT THE ONLY ONE DUDE
No I have been his fan for years it’s kinda sad that majority of people here are dream stans don’t get me wrong I’m a dream fan to but Alec deserve the world he is soo underrated 😞
IKR LIKE ITS GETTING ANNOYING OMFG
This song isnt religious at, all. Some think it is. Its about trying to find hapiness.
tf? he's talking about Jesus and the devil
gabriel lucas do you even know the meaning of this song? It isnt about the devil or jesus at all
@@highghufjgio1573. yea cause a song that references Jesus and the devil has nothing to do with Jesus or the devil. tf?
gabriel lucas how does this song reference Jesus and the devil hes just saying their names nothing so special about it
gabriel lucas it has nothing to do with Jesus or the devil. It’s about leaving your friends and family to pursue your dreams but realizing that not everything is going to work out the way you wanted and moving back to find your true happiness, with your friends and family.
You try to sing with him but he's too good
omg i actually tried it and i ultimately FAILED
i sing along and forget the fact i probably sound like trash.
Yup. I failed miserably.
I just sing an octave lower, lol
Dream brought me here sry
Anyone here that knew the song before dream?-
\o/ i'm here lol
everyone is talking about lucifer and i’m only here cause of dream
same
SAME
i love dream and i was so happy to hear him singing this, but i’m here only because alec makes the best music 😌
I came here for dream in the beginning but I’m staying because of the talent
nope
DREAM......hehe
The Devil “you won’t find *Jesus* in LA
My mind: *wait that’s illegal*
my religious ocd be like:
trust me when I say this- DO NOT MESS WITH THE DEVIL! He has ruined everything. My life, my friends and family’s lives, EVERYTHING in all aspects. Please. Don’t folllow him. He’s called “the father of lies” for a reason (John 8:44 KJV).
Whatever you think he’s promising you, he’s going to stab you in the back. Trust me. I wanted love, instead I delved into sexual desires. At 7 years old I didn’t know what I was doing, but as I got older, I understood what I was doing. But it was too late. It became a habit. At 16, God made me better, but the actions still haunt me, and I still mess up, but not as much (I’m 17, now). That’s the grace of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost for ya. (or Spirit. Holy Ghost sounds better, though).
you see, the devil gives you a perverted version of what God stands for and wants you to have. Give up your desires and follow Him- He’ll give you the desires of your heart (see psalm 37:3-5).
this may seem like mere words. Black shapes on a white background, but I’m pouring my heart out to you so you don’t suffer like I am.
“The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they don't wish to see anyone else suffer the way they did.”
thanks for coming to my Tedtalk.
Ayo, I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events. IF anyone is interested, read on
NOTE: I can’t prove God to you. It all comes down to your choice to put your trust in Jesus Christ. That’s all faith is-TRUST. Unfortunately in these recent years, science and “religion” (as we know them today) have bastardized each other and themselves.
Point is, faith is trusting in Jesus. It’s not a blind jump into what non-believers call nothingness. Billy Graham said something reminiscent of that.
I have no power over you. I can only tell you, but I can’t force you. (I mean, we’re conversing online lol. I’m not at your location… yet)
james 4:8 “Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Check out “HolyLandSite, Cold-Case Christianity, Delafé Testimonies.” There may be more, but those are the ones I know of.
Brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away.
repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down."
I don’t want you to suffer like I did/do.
YOU WILL LOSE ALMOST EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO YOU! PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKES, REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM YOURSELVES! It’s a pit you *CAN NOT get out of. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! I LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU TO TELL YOU THIS! He is, in the words of Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also WAY better than lust. love is greater than lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and possibly physically. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO!
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God knew we were wack, but He decided He He’ll come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
also, we have various types of evidence that backs up the Bible.
Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day.
The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info).
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other things. Look it up, it’s good stuff (HolyLandSite).
more evidence for the Bible concerning cosmology and divine revelation in job 26:7, proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22 (read on)
The idea that the earth was round can be dated back to 600 BC in Greece. It was more widely accepted around the 3rd century (300 BC-201 BC) Note: time was “labeled” differently back then. for example, year 3000, year 420, year 69, year 0, year 1, year 2… and so on.
Job 26:7: “. . .He [God] hangs the earth on nothing” The book of Job was supposedly written at 2100 BC.
Proverbs 8:27: “. . .when He drew a circle on the face of the deep. . .” Proverbs was possibly written between 970 and 686 BC
Isaiah 40:22: “it is He who sits above the circles of the earth. . .” Isaiah was written between 739 and 680 BC.
This one doesn’t pertain to cosmology, but it refers to divine revelation nonetheless.
Isaiah 11:15 “The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.”
Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”
How did they know about this? You tell me, my fellow Zoomerz.
The Holy Spirit exists. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.
Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now.
Check out “Delafé Testimonies.” They got some good stuff as well
YOU CANNOT DENY THE WORK GOD DOES IN PEOPLE’S LIVES
also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt.
There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:
a) Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion;
b) Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ Christians, confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command
c) Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers
d) Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son)
e) Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified.
f) Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers
(See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback)
Thanks for reading. If I came off preachy or rude, please know that wasn’t my intention. Hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general.
thanks, again
Honestly, Dream got me into Alec’s music and i’m not mad about. that’s for getting alec the recognition he deserves :)

Jesus is with you, whoever you are and where ever you are🖐

I think he's talking about how if you go to LA and see the way people live and what all they do just to get fame it would be hard to imagine Jesus being there. But I could be wrong that's just my guess
say that to a Arabic person. no hate
The song isn't religious though...
The song isn't actually about religion. It's about finding happiness

Everyone talking about how dream sung this:
Me just now realizing that dream sung this:
"Who else here because of dream?" "Can't be the only one here from dream?" I knew this masterpiece before dream, but i think i like it even more after.

hebrews 11:6 “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.”
Check out “HolyLandSite, Cold-Case Christianity, Delafé Testimonies.” There may be more, but those are the ones I know of.
Brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away.
repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down."
I don’t want you to suffer like I did/do.
YOU WILL LOSE ALMOST EVERYTHING IMPORTANT TO YOU! PLEASE, FOR YOUR SAKES, REPENT AND TURN TO JESUS! SAVE YOURSELVES FROM YOURSELVES! It’s a pit you *CAN NOT get out of. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO! I LOVE AND CARE FOR YOU TO TELL YOU THIS! He is, in the words of Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also WAY better than lust. love is greater than lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you mentally, spiritually, emotionally, and possibly physically. AGAIN, I DON’T WANT YOU TO SUFFER LIKE I DID/DO!
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God knew we were wack, but He decided He He’ll come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
also, we have various types of evidence that backs up the Bible.
Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day.
The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info).
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other things. Look it up, it’s good stuff (HolyLandSite).
more evidence for the Bible concerning cosmology and divine revelation in job 26:7, proverbs 8:27, Isaiah 40:22 (read on)
The idea that the earth was round can be dated back to 600 BC in Greece. It was more widely accepted around the 3rd century (300 BC-201 BC) Note: time was “labeled” differently back then. for example, year 3000, year 420, year 69, year 0, year 1, year 2… and so on.
Job 26:7: “. . .He [God] hangs the earth on nothing” The book of Job was supposedly written at 2100 BC.
Proverbs 8:27: “. . .when He drew a circle on the face of the deep. . .” Proverbs was possibly written between 970 and 686 BC
Isaiah 40:22: “it is He who sits above the circles of the earth. . .” Isaiah was written between 739 and 680 BC.
This one doesn’t pertain to cosmology, but it refers to divine revelation nonetheless.
Isaiah 11:15 “The Lord will dry up the gulf of the Egyptian sea; with a scorching wind he will sweep his hand over the Euphrates River. He will break it up into seven streams so that anyone can cross over in sandals.”
Revelation 16:12 “The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river Euphrates, and its water was dried up to prepare the way for the kings from the East.”
How did they know about this? You tell me, my fellow Zoomerz.
The Holy Spirit exists. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.
Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now.
Check out “Delafé Testimonies.” They got some good stuff as well
YOU CANNOT DENY THE WORK GOD DOES IN PEOPLE’S LIVES
also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt.
There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:
a) Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion;
b) Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ Christians, confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command
c) Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers
d) Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son)
e) Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified.
f) Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers
(See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback)
Thanks for reading. If I came off preachy or rude, please know that wasn’t my intention. Hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general.
thanks, again
Me: *shows song to my mom*
