Lyrics to Imagine.... dont know why anyone who loves Jesus likes this song...
Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...
Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one
Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...
You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
Come on, Ferd. He only sang the third verse. And actually, if you try to understand what John Lennon was saying and where he was coming from, it makes sense. He was very angry with religion, which was fighting each other over small issues while the real needs of the world weren't being met.

I think I will stick with reading the words and understanding exactly what Lennon meant.
I seriously doubt anyone on AI has a clue. These arent the sharpest knives in the jar....
that is no excuse for you. you should know better.
and it doesent make any sense at all. John Lennon was a godless communist. you are identifying with that.

John Lennon may have been an outsider, and sometimes the outsider see's the duck for what it is!
That is absolutely the truth and that's why I think we should take very seriously what he said. These guys had and still have major influence over a major part of the culture we claim to be trying to reach. If we can't understand them, we don't have a chance.
Fantasizing about a godless society is a good thing Neck?
Really?
John Lennon was a perverted hedonistic self serving, God hating purveyor of sin in all its many forms.
And this song, above all others was his anthem.
And this is your answer?
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU????
Ferd, you're missing the point....how would you try to win someone like Lennon to Christ? We can rant and rave about the "antiChristness" of the song but is there something we can take from the song to try to win others.
I don't like the words of the song either. But I do like the intent of the song.......a world where we all get along. I know it won't happen until Christ returns but we can at least show folks who think like this that God is not the author of all the strife in the world that parades itself as religion. God is good.

I don't see him that way. I see him as one of the "sick" who needed a physician (Matthew 9:12). I see him as one of those who Christ spilled blood for.

Exactly! My pastors entire sermon on Sunday was on that very thought, every person that you encounter throughout your day; every person that cuts you off in traffic, every cranky clerk in the check-out line, every scary thug hanging out in front of the mall... every one of them is someone that Jesus thought dying for was worth it.
It's an almost impossible concept for us to grasp, we get so excited about the people who come to a church service wanting to hear about God, or who are willing to be ministered to in some way. But we have a much harder time giving grace and compassion to those who hate us or revile God. But He thought enough of them to die for them. What chance do we have of ever reaching them if we "hate" them back?
My soul followeth hard after thee....Love one another with a pure heart fervently.
