I read that, apparently, this song was about one of them visiting an older gay man in a hospital, and reflecting on how we as Christians approach homosexuality. They were wondering if telling a person who to love or not to love, in this case, keeps them from finding actual true love. Do we truly know what love is? Who are we to judge, who are we to say? Edit: I know a lot of heterosexual folks who make a mess of or misinterpret love. To me it's all the same- I am to love and they take up their sexuality with God. Peace!.
As Christians, if we truly love those that are homosexual, we tell them that it is wrong. Its very clear that those who practice homosexuality will not inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-11). It even states that those in the early church were practicing these things (v.11), so this is not a new concept.
@@kevinirvin9857 How does it "clearly state" that? I do not read specific references to homosexuality in those verses. I think that Christians are far too quick to judge and do not really understand what it means to have these feelings. Is it wrong to love someone, not in a lustful way, but really love another person of the same sex? My believe is that God does not want bad sexual behaviour and "just doing it with everyone", but why would He make people that love people of the same sex if that is wrong?
I have never commented on youtube before, but thought this was worth it. I have listened to Emery since the Walls music video aired on JCTV in 2004. However, with the last album release, and this song, Emery has lost a fan. I will be spending more time listening to Sleeping Giant.
Please come to Brazil and play this song :'(
I also want a lot
I love that song!

God is to say. You can't cherry pick Christianity and it's founders.
Well probably cuz they got a lot of flack for being anti-gay a while back (which was the reason I stopped supporting them).

Objectively, homosexuality cannot be true love.

What even is that title though
The lyrics clear that question up.
@@torchytries2168 Still not sure if I quite get it.
the title is something we wrote on the windows of our van as a joke and a social experiment when we toured with switchfoot in 2007
Emery wow you actually right back nice 👍🏻
@@emely.holguin I got to meet them a few months ago. They're a great group of guys.
Is this the story of a gay person?
“But if I knew he surely did”? Emery, could you clear this up for me?
