Jul 23, 2007 - When is the sequel coming out?

Joyteller Says:

Aug 15, 2007 - I used to have so much respect for Randy Harris.

Aug 20, 2007 - Paul forbids "foolish jesting" (Eph 5:4), which I believe means making fun of serious, sacred topics. If this is so funny, why not do a parody of the Lord's Supper? The third sequel could take off where Monty Python's "The Life of Brian" left off, with one of the thieves crucified with Brian (Jesus) encouraing the Messiah to sing along with him, "Look on the Bright Side of Things."

Sep 5, 2007 - Please, folks. Lighten up. This is hilarious. One of the funniest things I've ever seen on YouTube.

WFranklinW Says:

Sep 12, 2007 - Lighten up about making light of worship to God? What? Singing "I once was lost but now I'm found" to the tune of Gilligan's Island seems the height of frivolity and distain for holy things. Again, this shows the lax mind of a liberal change agent. The "goofy theology" in the songs is what?

Sep 14, 2007 - Jesus would have laughed!

WFranklinW Says:

Sep 14, 2007 - Interesting. How are you so sure? What verse of Scripture do you have in mind that informs you that Jesus would laugh at a spoof of worship to God? Since "a merry heart is good medicine," let's upload a spoof of Jesus instituting the Lord's Supper.

jackodave Says:

Sep 17, 2007 - You're absolutely right, Willie, Paul writes in Ephesians 5:4 that we shouldn't foolishly jest about serious, sacred topics. In context, that means sexual immorality, impurity and greed....NOT simply having fun with songs like "Booster Booster" for goodness sakes. To twist that text and make it say something it doesn't is the height of being a "liberal change agent", is it not? Careful on your slippery slope.

WFranklinW Says:

Sep 20, 2007 - Scriptural accuracy, yes! Context is important (Eph 5:3-5). Yet, in v. 4, Paul begins with "and" (Gr. kai) that is variously translated "also" (NCV), "neither" (KJV) "nor" (NIV), which is an additional thought to the warnings in v. 3. Concerning "silly talk," Lipscomb observed it is "frivolous" and Barnes says it's "insipid, senseless, stupid, foolish." A Presbyterian told me this is a sad caricature of worship. Amazing Grace is a serious song of damnation and salvation. This is irreverent.

WFranklinW Says:

Sep 20, 2007 - To have "fun" with these songs, why not have the sequel of Mike in a clown's outfit, if he wants to "clown around" with songs of worship to almighty God.

thepriesthood Says:

Sep 29, 2007 - when your only framework for understanding "worship" is 4 or 5 a capella songs on a Sunday morning, yeah, that subculture needs to be deconstructed. and in this case, deconstruction can be fun. so let's not get our religious panties in a wad, my Pharisaical friends... and don't give me this Greek mumbo jumbo like you're unearthing something new.

WFranklinW Says:

Sep 29, 2007 - Refutation by ridicule and name calling proves nothing. Fact is, "foolish talk" (Gr. morologia lit. "words of a moron") is defined as "buffonery" (Strong) or "silliness" (Trench). Such is irreverent at anytime.

68JamesB Says:

Oct 9, 2007 - Will just say it again: this kind of humor is wonderful. Jesus would like it! It clearly comes from one who loves his heritage. It's a sign of health to be able to laugh at yourselves. It's a sign of family dysfunction to take such humor as threatening. But then, this is a "family" with a wee bit of dysfunction!!

WFranklinW Says:

Oct 22, 2007 - James, how do you know Jesus would like it? What verse are you referencing? This is typical liberal subjective theorizing. Liberals know little of the fear of the Lord.

googoo42 Says:

Nov 27, 2007 - i think God does have a good sence humor look around, if he didnt we'd all have burned by now.

WFranklinW Says:

Dec 11, 2007 - Yes, Isaac was called "he laughs" which was "God's joke" when Sarah disbelieved God's promise. Yes, wholesome humor is good. Yet, defenders of this video with irreverent parts, seem to not to be able to recognize that making fun of a sacred themes is typical of liberal, loose attitude toward the sacred things of God.

Jan 23, 2008 - When does the next one come out? I love it when pettiness is unmasked for what it really is. And our southern, bible belt, traditionally surfaced, culture needs to either laugh at it or read some Flannery O'connor.
