    _egas calybird the Bible was a book written by a council of men who also dictated the laws of Europe in the Middle Ages. Thank God for science because without them, the Catholic Church would probably ban technology like the internet and you couldn’t watch KZread today. The reason for all of these technology and diversity in society is because the church is dying. A long time ago, churches didn’t want their parishioners to interact with people of different race, nationality or religion.

    @_egas calybird many things were taken out of the Bible under Constantines rule many years ago. Though the scripture is inspired, it has been tampered with. Loom up the Nag Hammadi scriptures on Google and the Reluctant Messenger. Jesus is talking about immortality and reincarnation being the truth. The Bible is not to be understood literally anyway. It is to be understood metaphtsically. Do you really think Jonah was in the belly of a whale and lived to tell about it? Look up the 2 references I gave you and do not take my word for it.

    Well I am a 55 year old white dude that lives in the south, loves AC/DC and old cars but damn, Aretha Franklin was just the very best! I remember hearing her music as a kid and it was great then. Now it's just incredible! Her voice is, well, no words can really explain how some of those notes just give you a chill. Stunning. Just amazing. Wow! Did I mention that it was really, really, really great! All kids ( millennials should be forced to watch this ) need to see this and real artist.

    change is law. it's how God meant it so that way we know he is superior to any one of us. no amount of pretending can reverse or hinder this law. everything changes get used to it

    No one before or since could adlib like Aretha! She did it so effortlessly. Never sing a song the exact same way. Genius ❤

    So true. While I love the version with Clayton Ivey, I keep coming back to this one because she seems to be having so much fun with this one. Just loving being Aretha!

    This is how it's done! A truly LIVE performance. LIVE band, LIVE backing singers and LIVE lead vocal. NO auto tune, NO dancers, NO fireworks or other gimmicks.
