Sunday mornin' wake up early,
Skip church service to find my Jesus.
I know it sounds so sacrilegious,
But I just don't belong in a place like that.
I love the cause but not the act.
'Cause Jesus was a friend and not a judge.
He loved the sinners as much as he loved the little ones.
That man was love and not an act.
I sing Hallelujah;
Hallelujah, I'm set free.
Sunday mornin' wake up early,
Skip church service to find true meaning.
I know it sounds so disappointing,
But I just don't belong in a place like that.
I love the cause but not the act.
I sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah;
Hallelujah, I'm set free.
Skip church service to find my Jesus.
I know it sounds so sacrilegious,
But I just don't belong in a place like that.
I love the cause but not the act.
'Cause Jesus was a friend and not a judge.
He loved the sinners as much as he loved the little ones.
That man was love and not an act.
I sing Hallelujah;
Hallelujah, I'm set free.
Sunday mornin' wake up early,
Skip church service to find true meaning.
I know it sounds so disappointing,
But I just don't belong in a place like that.
I love the cause but not the act.
I sing Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah;
Hallelujah, I'm set free.

Christianity and the bible and she told me this
OH. And on my last post where it says Curie, i meant Chris. Stupid autocorrect. Lol.
Skip church service to find my Jesus.
I know it sounds so sacrilegious,
But I just don't belong in a place like that.
I love the cause but not the act.

I sing Hallelujah;
Hallelujah, I'm set free.
OBVIOUSLY this song is about a boy who does believe in something, and does want to be remain faithful, but he is against organized religion, because a lot of organized religions are corrupt and, well, bad. I've experienced this firsthand as well. Jesus loves everyone, and he tries his best to accept everyone. I think it's wrong for churches to call certain types of people sinners and treat them unequally, especially gays/lesbians/bisexuals, etc. He just wants to believe in something without having to blame other people, so he'll find his own way to believe in what he wants.
It's obvious that we're all sinners- including Christofer. Loving God is simple because He first loved us. (Its like if a really great guy asks you out to prom, its easy just to say "yes" because he made the first move, came to you, and all you have to do is respond).
However, I have to say, once you get to know Jesus's great love, it changes you. It doesn't leave you all covered in your mud like a pig. His love picks you up, loves you just as you are, but then-- because He wants good for you-- He has to clean you off and make you like new.
'Cause Jesus was a friend and not a judge.
He loved the sinners as much as he loved the little ones.
second i dont know what to make of this song im sure he means well but a church is a place for fellowship and comunion with other christians with like values. im sure he means well but then again if you listen to any of his other songs cuss words are used on a normal basis. now im not saying the lord almighty will "take off his head" or "condemn" him he is a forgiving Lord if you repent and turn away from your sin. but you have to have a clear message because he , we , i are living breathing moving examples of Christianity and people judge our religion by watching our actions.
what i would really like is for a person with deeper understanding of the bible than me to give their opinion or i want chris's thoughts on it...
The Christian message is for every one but there is only one God. God the one in heaven, the one who sent down his only perfect blameless son down from heaven to die on the cross for you,the one whose book .the bible. is historically correct at every turn.
and no they can't all be the same. buddha, alllah, sun god rain god. There is just God. how do we know that God cant be all of these under different names. Simple, different characteristics. for example allah says kill the infidels, infidels are any one who doesnt believe in what you believe, while God welcomes non believers into his kingdom with open arms.
Ephesians 2:9 "for grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God,not a result of works,so that no one may boast."
He loves you more than any father, mother, husband, boyfriend, animal, child, object, thing ever could. He is waiting for you.
However, I've gotta say, if we're comparing religions, Christianity is the only religion that emphasizes grace and forgiveness. All other religions are based on something you have to do to earn grace. In my opinion, forgiveness should always be free.
I think he's also saying that you can believe in Jesus and have some form of salvation without having to attend an actual and be free of the drama that goes along with it. A lot of people might not completely agree with that (including me at times), but I understand exactly what he's singing about.
