Hey Greg, I think you need to check out a Video called They Sold There Souls for Rock and Roll! I don’t know where you got your information from? But you are being misguided and misguiding your flock!!
And you say so getting your information from a youtube video. Very funny bro 🤣
Ty ... goid comment
John Lennon said several times that he doesn't believe in Jesus or God. Look at his song called "GOD", he even say's so in his lyrics.
Matthew 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
2Corinthians 11:13-15
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.
2 Peter 2:1-3
1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. 2 And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of. 3 And through covetousness shall they with feigned words make merchandise of you: whose judgment now of a long time lingereth not, and their damnation slumbereth not.
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's. clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Matthew 7:15.
2 Timothy 4:3-4
For the time will come when people will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear. 4 They will turn their ears away from the truth and turn aside to myths.
There was a report that he accepted the altar call by phone through an evangelical tv show but it caused issues with yoko and then stopped pursing Christianity any further. Apparently he was also reading The Holy Bible a lot before getting killed, so maybe that’s what the book talks about but idk.
The book is about the story of their relation, all of them, presumably at some moment manifested an interest or a belief in Christianity. No one is saying he didn't say those things.
He no doubt believes in God now
There was a period when he was into tv evangelist oral Robert’s and he believed but yoko talked him out if it who knows?
GREG LAURIE what's wrong with you¿
I used to go to Laurie’s church in Riverside. I am disgusted that he is now mixing these (on record), satanic or new age musicians into the Christian realm. If he keeps promoting this as a leader, it says in the Bible that leaders are held more accountable than the rest for leading followers astray. He is either KNOWINGLY part of the global spiritual agenda now, or he has saturated himself with things of this world so much now, that he can’t discern what’s right or wrong, biblically. Either way, he is definitely on the wrong path & we should pray for him.
These musicians were definitely NOT CHRISTIANS, & if anyone needs proof of this in the fruits & words of their lives, let me know.
This book will lead many people astray. You can’t mix Jesus with these musicians blasphemous words & call it Christian. Leading people to stay in & continue to follow the beast system is what this is.
I agree
Facts.
Totally correct!
Just go read his recent interview that is on his website and tell me he is 'with the agenda'.
You're totally ignorant and I can prove that if you want. Be more humble at least on what you don't know about.
What
Didn't Lennon say in his song "Imagine" imagine there's no heaven?
Yep. He also said he was more famous than Jesus. Really famous quote he made.
@@praymore3785 that quote has always been missinterpreted; as always, you have to see in the context. And it's on youtube when he said that. First of all they were almost teenagers, and they said that The Beatles were more famous -at that time- than Jesus; which we could say was true. But they didn't say they were better than Jesus. It could be even read as a criticque of capitalist/pop culture they were into.
@@brunosm.l2267I heard John Lennon say it live that the Beatles were more famous than Jesus. John and the rest of the Beatles were grown men in their 20s, not teenagers. Lennon made that statement in a matter of fact way, and even though it may have been true at the time, it was said with a great deal of arrogance. If any member of the Beatles was a Christian, especially John Lennon, they kept it a secret. What they did was to follow and make rich and famous a Hindu guru, chant and meditate per his teachings, and even advocate for drug use. I'm not judging them, I am merely stating that I never once heard any one of the Beatles profess a belief in Jesus Christ.
That is all true. But what does that have to do with the content of Gregs book? I guess he talks about from the history of rockandroll from a Christian perspective. Dylan has a trylogy of ouutward christian music, I recommend listening to his last album Rough and Roudy Ways.

Great it’s available as an audible audiobook. Will check it out definitely.
Nope no Christian should believe these musicians were believers in Jesus. Their fruits & their words said the opposite. Laurie, you need to check your heart or are you too far into the global agenda now?
The Holy Spirit has aleays told me somethong isnt right w Greg Laurie aside from his love for the devils music ... those in his book are not Christians Alice pretends he is a christian but still supports the devils music ... Greg thinks he is goid to go ... no he is a bad light
Dylan admits he’s still here because he needs to hold up his deal with the devil for his fame. Very easy clip to find.
60 Minutes, with Ed Bradley.
Thank you ... finally somebody is not fooled besides ne ...
It's rumored that Ronnie James Dio gave himself to Jesus near the of his life. But of course only our heavenly Father knows.
And those who prayed with him and the chaplain at the hospital.
This is nothing but an ad for his book, everyone is trying to make money, just stick to Jesus please.
Interesting that Lennon created a very hostile song around 1980 (released posthumously in 1998) that parodied and mocked Dylan’s gospel song, “Gotta Serve Somebody.” Lennon’s song was titled “Serve Yourself” and left no question about Lennon’s disgust of Dylan’s claimed conversion to Christianity.
Ty
I understood Bobs comments on 60 minutes that he "made a deal" with the "chief commander" in this world and the world we can't see as both Satan and God (Christ). I believe that Satan does rule the earth as the Bible states. Christ rules the world that I cannot see. I have no clue what his context was but its fascinating to me nonetheless.
This is a.much more intelligent comment than those that say he sold his soul, etc.
Because there is that dicothomy that 'he made it' in this world, and he is enchained to that in some way. But as he says on his latest album: "they talk all night, and they talk all day / not for a minute do I believe anything they say".
Could a book on Bob Marley and his beliefs be in the future? Perhaps Bono?
Apparently George Harrison came to Christ shortly before he died as well
I hope so. But I think there was some question whether he was a devotee of Christ or of Krishna . . . ?
Didn’t Dylan give an interview with Ed Bradley claiming that he made a bargain with the devil?
Dylan was very vague about it. Depending on if you're a Satanist or a Christian the "chief commander" he spoke of could be construed as either Satan or God. That's how vague it is. The only context he added is a description of the person. "[The] chief commander... in this earth and in the world we can't see." Still this, though, could be construed as either Satan or God depending on where you look at it from and to the extent you look at it.
Based on Dylan's other interviews I think he's speaking of God as the chief commander. Though, of course, he could be speaking of Satan. Satanists believe that Satan is 'above God' and was 'courageous because he stood up to a tyrannical creator.' So you never know.
I certainly don't know if he's saved or not, but I err on the side that he is. Artists are just dramatic sometimes. We don't mean to be, that's just how we look at the world and convey our thoughts. And it doesn't help that Dylan speaks in a monotone matter-of-fact way lol - Straight laced people get confused by that.
To sum it all up, this really is a semantics thing. It's too vague to say for sure from this one interview.
@@TheMidnightModder true dat. How can you ever really know what’s in a man’s heart
Matthew 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
He absolutely did. And there is no confusion about who he was talking about like another commenter suggested. Dylan was talking specifically about the God of this world. If you know the Bible, you’ll know his description is how satan is described. If you don’t know scripture, the other commenter may confuse you & have you believe Dylan was talking about God Almighty. He wasnt. That’s a fact.
This Greg Laurie guy is a wolf in sheep's clothing using scripture to justify his refusal to let go of Satan and the world.
That sounds like an exciting book.
Yeah more exciting than the Bible huh.
@@praymore3785 does saying is an exciting book mean is more exciting than the bible? Where did you take that deduction from? 😂
in the introduction to every show the announcer says things like poet laurette of the 60's and also found Jesus in 1978. Do you ever go see him in concert? Heard it at The Hollywood Bowl, The Forum, and The Orange County Fairgrounds. If you don't know he's still a Christian you must not be much of a fan.
I don't know Greg Laurie. I haven't followed his ministry. There's a reason for that. This is not a judgment, but he comes across as puffed up and full of himself. There are other Christian leaders who have a similar demeanor. I'm sure they reach some folk, I'm just not one of them. Jesus found me in the 60s along with millions of other hippies and flower children. Laurie seems to believe that he is the founder of that Jesus movement. I never heard of him 55 years ago nor did any of my friends and we lived in Southern California. If his ministry is helping others, God bless you all. However, watching him strut around and bluster about Jesus is embarrassing.
If you argue that Dylan isn't born again you have the spirit of Anti-christ - absolutely transformed by the power of God, and to ask if he is still a believe, show how ignorant that person is as well as how prideful they are, these types of videos are only done for clicks so reject these people.
praying here for Dylan he had some type of evil encounter him ...Keith Green once tutored him and he now seems away from God a bit perhaps i am wrong would love to talk with people like this
Greg, look at proverbs 10:27(twenty seven)--coincidence?
If done with a pure intentions, anyone can wait that last moment,,ask for forgiveness of their sins, profess they believe in Jesus Christ and are repenting of their sins, and yes enter the Kingdom of God. But that's a tricky , costly and cheap way to become a believer in Christ. It's a scarey way as no one knows that last few minutes before they die. So it's so immediate that no one wait but confess and turn to Christ Now.
If it is genuine it doesn't matter because it means it isn't premeditated. If it's premeditated it isn't genuine. So there you go.
There’s no guarantee of our next breath and it’s a risky bet with eternal consequences to postpone accepting Christ.
Whether or not Bob Dylan is still a Christian isn't for us to judge. I do believe at one time, he sincerely was saved. I also believe, because I have seen it time and again, that he was severely judged by the church for continuing to play his music. If he is no longer serving God, it would be because of that.
Once saved, always saved.
Matthew 7:21-23
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.

Wow I don't think so
Lennon was NEVER a Christian. This dude is CLUELESS about rock and roll. This book is literally worthless.
Does he say in his not-yet-released book that Lennon became a Christian ?
So what? What's the point of this book, whether they did or didn't?? Sounds more like to me live as close to the end of your life,and ,oh,wait, forgive me, Jesus, please. Ok, I am good now. Pass.
Every time people say to me it was a phase I ask them if they've seen him in concert lately and they always say no. lol
Canned Heat's Alan too.
When i look at my cd collection of, Led Zeppelin, black sabbath, slayer, hendrix, doors, cannibal corpse, the beatles, metallica, iron maiden, i see only one underlying theme, distorted guitars, drums, bass, human voice. The actual music is what i like.
Sabbath had a lot of Christian lyrics. They also wore crosses. They just thought the name Black Sabbath sounded cool, they weren't satanic
Also the 29 club, Ronnie Van Zant.
My dad is Mel Novak ur friend. I’m reading it now. Absolutely can’t put it down. My favorite is ur Steve McQueen book. But back to this book absolutely informative on things I never knew about some of my favorite musicians in the 70’s.
Can u tell us shortly what does it say about Lennon? That's the most controvertial and obscure one, I think, given that his image and what he preaches was very distantiated from a Christian view.
Bob Dylan it's very clear, even from his contemporary albums (Modern Times or the last one) that has a strong christian backround and even feeling in an existential sense.
I want this book pastor Greg. These rockers were so much a part of my life as a musician. As a Christian I find their history amazing.
What a joke
love is love
That's not true. “Love is love” declares that love stands on its own with integrity, meaning, and grace. But the Bible doesn't square with this. The Bible says, “God is love” (1 John 4:8), and “Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth” (1 Cor. 13:6).
Little Richard, Jonny Cash, Dylan, Alice, the list goes on and on :-) as a redeemed music head but also a Christian dad of two these key figures in rock n roll came to be know the humbling power and love of God. Fantastic testimonies abound.
Your clueless ... you have no idea what yoyr talking about
@@KENNETHBROCKETT-y6w are you saying that these major music figures were NOT touched by the power of God?
Awesome Greg, God Speed 🙏💯
I'd be careful putting the blessings of God on a satanic agenda. This guy is Laurie is a joke.
Anyone that can write a song as beautiful as “Imagine” has to believe in God even if they don’t know it.
He does say there's no religion in that song.
@@jonathanstiegler2770 Here's the thing he says "Imagine there's no heaven". If you have to imagine there is no heaven aren't you tacitly admitting there is one? because if there's not then you don't have to imagine there isn't one.
No
@@JPMM316 I think that line is just a comment to the people who do believe in heaven. That doesn't mean he believes in heaven.
