Jesus Christ Superstar(1973) by Kobojunkie: 3:03am On Jun 08, 2020 |
I found this today while surfing Youtube... This is the movie that sang to me. I wonder if Andrew Lloyd Webber knows himself used by God. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HyVNEHoqZWY |

Overture lyrics The Overture is heard over images of a troupe preparing their version of the Passion Play. They arrive out inm the Israeli desert in a bus with a cross attached to the roof along with many other props. As the performers unload off of the bus you get a feeling of celebration so often attributed to the late 60s, early 70s. They costume themselves. When the overture exchos the '39 lashes', they remove the cross from the roof and when the overture breaks into a jubilant "Superstar", we are introduced to Jesus appearing from a pile of people... Could we start? |

Heaven On Their Minds lyrics JUDAS My mind is clearer now. At last all too well I can see where we all soon will be. If you strip away The myth from the man, You will see where we all soon will be. Jesus! You've started to believe The things they say of you. You really do believe This talk of God is true. And all the good you've done Will soon get swept away. You've begun to matter more Than the things you say. Listen Jesus I don't like what I see. All I ask is that you listen to me. And remember, I've been your right hand man all along. You have set them all on fire. They think they've found the new Messiah. And they'll hurt you when they find they're wrong. I remember when this whole thing began. No talk of God then, we called you a man. And believe me, my admiration for you hasn't died. But every word you say today Gets twisted 'round some other way. And they'll hurt you if they think you've lied. Nazareth, your famous son should have stayed a great unknown Like his father carving wood He'd have made good. Tables, chairs, and oaken chests would have suited Jesus best. He'd have caused nobody harm; no one alarm. Listen, Jesus, do you care for your race? Don't you see we must keep in our place? We are occupied; have you forgotten how put down we are? I am frightened by the crowd. For we are getting much too loud. And they'll crush us if we go too far. If they go too far.... Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give. Please remember that I want us to live. But it's sad to see our chances weakening with every hour. All your followers are blind. Too much heaven on their minds. It was beautiful, but now it's sour. Yes it's all gone sour. Listen, Jesus, to the warning I give. Please remember that I want us to live. C'mon, c'mon He won't listen to me ... C'mon, c'mon He won't listen to me ... |

Kobojunkie: The face behind the mask is exposed here. It is only enemies of the Cross that will get excited with the lyrics of this blasphemous play. I wonder why these atheists who are worse than demons bother to pretend to be Christians by quoting scriptures that they don't believe in, are you cowards? 1 Like 1 Share |

OLAADEGBU:Blasphemy ke? You are just mad because I reported that even Kumuyi is a false prophet/MOG, right? Well, the man is. Or do I need to spell it out for you? Be sure to enjoy the movie. It is an awesome movie... get that brain of yours thinking too 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: The fact that you enjoy this blasphemous movie is all the evidence I need to know that your opinion doesn't matter. If you can endorse this satanic movie that denigrates Jesus Christ who needs your advice on who a real man of God is because you have no clue. 1 Like |

OLAADEGBU:I see you keep throwing around the word "Blasphemous" but you have yet to state the blasphemous content of the movie. Not to defend andrew lloyd weber(an unbeliever in my book) in any bit, but I have seen this movie more than 100 times, and I know the lyrics offhand, and I have found nothing of this movie DENIGRATES Jesus Christ as you claim, so please get to pointing out the aspects that do. Note that blasphemy is as defined by Jesus Christ and not your MOGs. 1 Like |

Kobojunkie: The lyrics of the movie you posted above spells out the word blasphemy and if you don't know that it is blasphemous then your problem is worse than I thought.

OLAADEGBU:Don't tell me, show me what it is in the lyrics Jesus Christ would consider Blasphemous. Would it have been better if the words were not lyrics to a song but thoughts voiced/spoken by the man named Judas Iscariot who walked with Jesus Christ? 1 Like

Kobojunkie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loU1i_52tBk It will be better for you to watch and listen to what Billy Graham said about 'Jesus the Superstar' and see if Jesus is what He said He is and more. |
Re: Jesus Christ Superstar(1973) by Kobojunkie: 9:56pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
OLAADEGBU:So, you level accusations against the movie and when called to provide evidence of the claim you made against said show, you instead want me to watch what your prefer? By the way, where did Jesus Christ state that it would be better for me to watch Bill Graham than to watch the movie 'Jesus Christ Superstar"? And again, never confuse what your MOGs have fed you all with, with the words of Jesus Christ. Peter, the apostle, warned people about ALL MOGs (False Prophets and Teachers), from about 2000 years ago.

Kobojunkie: If you cannot, would not watch the videoclip can you at least read about the difference between the real gospel and what you call Jesus the Superstar here? |
Re: Jesus Christ Superstar(1973) by Kobojunkie: 11:02pm On Aug 20, 2020 |
OLAADEGBU:You leveled claims against the lyrics and up till now, you have yet to produce evidence of any sort of the claim you made. I have seen that movie over 100 times and the lyrics are in my head, in the sequence they are presented in the movie. If you have a particular issue to make known about the movie in question, make it known here and we can hash it out. 1 Like |

What's The Buzz lyrics APOSTLES What's the buzz? Tell me what's a-happening. (Repeat 8 times) JESUS Why should you want to know? Don't you mind about the future? Don't you try to think ahead? Save tomorrow for tomorrow; Think about today instead. APOSTLES What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times) JESUS I could give you facts and figures. Even give you plans and forecasts. Even tell you where I'm going. APOSTLES When do we ride into Jerusalem? (Repeat many times) JESUS Why should you want to know? Why are you obsessed with fighting Times and fates you can't defy? If you knew the path we're riding, You'd understand it less than I. APOSTLES What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times) MARY MAGDALENE Let me try to cool down your face a bit. (Repeat 5 times) JESUS Mary that is good, While you prattle through your supper, Where and when and who and how. She alone has tried to give me What I need right here and now. APOSTLES What's the buzz? Tell me what's happening. (Repeat many times) |

Kobojunkie: Just curious, do you believe Jesus was just a man and not the son of god? |
Re: Jesus Christ Superstar(1973) by Kobojunkie: 8:24am On Nov 01, 2020 |
LordReed:Jesus Christ is the embodiment of the very Words that flow out of the mouth of God. That Word came down in the form of man, God's avatar on earth, to carry out the Will of God, and speak the Truth of God to all those who will hear. Jesus Christ is a part of God. He is not all of God but a part of God - the word out of God's mouth. Same with the Spirit that lived inside of Jesus Christ. So, yes, I believe He is God but not in the way explained in mainstream doctrines. |
Re: Jesus Christ Superstar(1973) by LordReed(m): 1:40pm On Nov 01, 2020 |
Kobojunkie: So son metaphorically? |
Re: Jesus Christ Superstar(1973) by Kobojunkie: 4:47pm On Nov 01, 2020 |
LordReed:Yes, you could say that. Jesus Christ is born of God's essence and He comes out of God(The Words out of God's mouth) so He is a Son of God. |

Compare and contrast the first line over the same guitar riff ... “My mind is clearer now....” Compare this to the scene where he commits suicide. The same guitar riff but with more distortion... “My mind is in darkness now...” I love all the little symmetries like that in the show. My favourite songs are the prayer at Garden of Gethsemane and the Last Supper. Kobojunkie: |

Judas had a great voice too! |
Re: Jesus Christ Superstar(1973) by PastorAIO: 8:48am On Nov 06, 2020 |
Kobojunkie: My favourite character in the whole thing. I. Fact one of the accusations levelled at the show is that it seems to be more about Judas as the central character than about Jesus himself. It’s about Judas’ thoughts and issues with Jesus. It wasn’t just the guys voice I admired, it was his whole charisma, the way he stood and walked and the intensity in his face when he sang. |
Re: Jesus Christ Superstar(1973) by PastorAIO: 8:51am On Nov 06, 2020 |
Did you click the Leonardo Da Vinci painting of the Last Supper that they all posed into at the Last Supper scene. It’s little details like that that really tripped me about the show. |
