Although anyone will have to agree it's very "catchy." In fact, when I heard it, I felt like I had to "catch" my lunch & run to bathroom - It's really that bad!!! R C loved great music; he would have been repulsed by that garbage.
Cheesy music distracting me from staying focused. I can see that for 3 years the request to remove it has been asked. The Lord will use this to His glory ..
Sproul is always great, but injecting background music is distracting. Hearing it on a TH-cam video is no different than if we were sitting in the congregation. We would consider it RUDE if someone did it at the moment when R.C. actually spoke, and, if he heard that music (even softly) while he was preaching this message, he would stop and ask you to turn if off. Second, among well-meaning people who insert background music behind the preaching of God's word, there is a tacit assumption that the preaching of God's word is somehow enhanced by adding some kind of media. WRONG! Nothing--and I mean nothing--improves the proclamation of sacred scripture. Adding background music only subtracts from it. Turn it off, please.
Mathew Bebout . so you're god you know what's in my heart do I need to repent oh I can't do that if im not predestined. By the way I read the bible more than all of you all the bible not just a few scriptures im learning to be sarcastic I copy the joker Todd friel. And John MacArthur and the penguin here Sproul seriously lol hahahaha
Thanks for the video! I could easily and clearly make out what RC Sproul was saying with the music playing…If you're upset about the music playing in the background click the link in his description to go to the full sermon, there you can search for this part of the sermon yourself if it's not too annoying. Or watch the whole thing.
The more important part the Greek makes clear is that he sent his Son for those that believe in Him, he did not send his Son for anyone else. Here is the verse translated correctly. John 3:16 - HCSB For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Would you please consider doing a version of this without background music? Or, can anyone point me to where I can find one? The music is terribly distracting.
Shame on you Raymond Reddington the Bible says it's because God loves the world so much that he sent his son on order that all who BELIEVE would not perish. Shame on you!
I’m 8 years late but maybe folks just didn’t like sound doctrine over smooth beats in 2012, I enjoyed it. Thank you for your faithfulness to the Lord, RC Sproul.
John McArthur covers this topic pretty well in his series on the Gospel of John - he agrees with Sproul. To hear this explained without the anachronistic music, go to his church site. I myself couldn't get past the 1:13 mark on this clip. But, of course, the owner is always right. Right?
Background "music" is distracting and irritating (something like the person in the pew in front of you in church who gives his or her significant other a back rub during the sermon)!
If you say you believe you will fall off a cliff if you keep walking on the path you are on, but keep on walking anyway, you do not really believe. If you do not keep Jesus commandments do you really believe?
I think we all ought to stop complaining about something as little as background music when we have fellow brothers and sisters in Christ around the world being martyred for the faith. Great message by RC! Thank you for posting
I have a question about John 3 16. When I witnessed to mormons I tell them it's God's only son but the come back at me with his only begotten son... which means God then had many sons... what is the meaning of begotten and how to I get past that to get them to realize they have a distorted view of God?
Hi Lauren, awesome question! Jesus is God's only begotten Son in that He is of the same divine substance as the Father; we are not. We are made in His image, but we are not divine; Jesus, however, is. Those who believe in Christ are adopted into the family of God (Rom 8:14, Titus 3:7, etc.); we are therefore sons and daughters by adoption through faith in Christ whereas Jesus is intrinsically God's Son. With regard to Mormonism, I think that Galatians 1:8 sums it up, "But even if we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed." Christ completed His work and ascended to the right hand of the Father as evidenced in Hebrews 10:12-13, "But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool." Hope this helps! May the Lord bless you!
Well this track is also by Shai Linne, a strong voice in hip hip for the exposition of theology. I'm thinking the OP intended the listener to make that connection.
I've never heard anyone say this is a verse to proclaim universality doctrine,I think Dr sproul knows what is meant here,it's not hard to take God at His word,those who truly believe will have everlasting life:-)if a man only had that verse on a piece of paper ripped out of a bible it would still be enough to save him,the word didn't profit them cause their faith was not mixed with it the bible talks about(maybe not those exact words),was it the Philippians jailer that was told believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved,that's all he was told outside that cell that day,question is was that enough to save him,of course it was,that man was accountable with that one verse concerning what he would do with the son of God himself,there was no deep theological conversing back n forth I'm sure,just the simple love of God in believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved:-),I feel the joy of the Holy Ghost in me as I say these very words amen glory be to God in who alone consists all things lol amen
Rocky What R C is saying is that believing in the lord is a work of the holy spirit in you . The philipian Jailer was being drawn by the holy spirit to ask and therefore he was goin to receive. Some christians have taken this verse and tried to brow beat or bible bash anyone into confessing Jesus in a clinical black and white way . Apart from the work of the holy spirit in there heart you cant convince people to utter this verse. Christians have tried to and this is what R C was addressing.
I get it now. It’s the music that is distorting the verse, isn’t it? I always imagine when Jesus started speaking He would wait until the organ music was hitting the flutter notes for dramatic impact.
I agree it is more popular. But in what way do you think it's misunderstood? _ MATT 7:1-5, Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. be blessed :]
a friend put a birthday gift on his neighbors doorstep.. but the neighbor refused to open it.. and stepped over it everyday until he died.. the gift was his.. but refused it..case close
It’s so sad to read everyone completely lost sight of the message and allowed the music to take first place over the wonderful message! You know Satan has a smile on his face! As RC Sproul so beautifully reminds us...There is only one way to God the Father...only One!
I don't why everyone is complaining about the background music. I liked it and I didn't find it to be distracting..maybe I was just able to focus better.
TO THE RESCUE. If you do not wish to be distracted from the Word of God by the annoying music injected by some ignoramus into a serious discussion of a serious Bible passage, go to the Ligonier.org website and look up a Sproul sermon entitled " The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up". Starting at mile marker "19:00" is the undisturbed version of this video. You're welcome.
Sorry Brother, for the distraction...To listen to the entire sermon "The Son of Man Must Be Lifted Up" you can log on to the Ligonier site listed above...
Scott Bacher. In love I say this, you miss the point. Why do you think the music adds to the message? If anything it is a detractor. Your answer is also unsatisfactory because if I can go to Ligonier to hear the entire message, why not just send a link?
Joseph Mellen relax. The music helped me. Maybe it didn't help you concentrate on the message. But it did others. And just because it's not your style of music, doesn't mean you need to be so aggressive. It's his video. He can put music in it if he wants. So you miss the point. The point is that you need to humble yourself.
Scott Bacher The music is useless. Completely distracting from considering the deepest truths of the Word of God. Listening to music is one thing, hearing the ministry of the Word is another thing.
The music appeals to those who God has gifted with musical abilities. For many it causes them to connect more fully with what is being said and to move with the Holy Spirit. I did not especially like this music. it was a little redundant but it didn't distract me. For folks who are hard of hearing the music ruins it for them. They can't hear the words at all. Maybe there should be one with music and one without but then we would not get to exercise patience with one another.
Helen Williamson I'm sorry, I have an ear fpr music. I listen a lot to music but this thing is not even music. It's some sounds put in repeat mode. It is annoying. And if anyone needs this kind of musical mantra to be connected to Holy Spirit then he or she better get saved.
RC got it right, and is enjoying eternity with his Lord and Savior. I wish God could have kept him here for just one more year. There is no one on the East Coast that preached the truth. charismatic chaos is church today. Sad, very sad
Jesus- for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. Sproul- all does not mean all, world does not mean world, every one does not mean every one, if your not reformed your a universalist. Also we’re not even sure Jesus said this.: all hail John Calvin
165 dislikes. 165 signs & wonders self seekers. Mark 8:12 NKJV But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."
RC thank you for breaking this down interms of our feeble understanding. You are so missed. Losing you is a devestating loss. There will never be another RC Sproul. I don't know why God has taken RC, Adrian Rogers, and Jm Kennedy, and has left us with Joel:(
R.C. so missed, thankyou for clarity. I always wonder why when using subtitles, God and Jesus are spelled with small g and small j. Would like to see them written correctly
Well, personally, I think that the most misunderstood verses are the ones in the Gospels which generally read, " . . this is my body." It is not "is", literally; it's symbolic. In fact, some translations render it with a dash: " . . this - my body.." Besides, those at the Last Supper were all Jewish men, who would not drink literal blood. So, that, too, was symbolic. Read U. Zwingli's "18th Article" for reference.
Chris Reid In early Church history Xtians were accused of actually drinking blood and eating flesh by the Jews and the world. Did they truly believe that? IDK, but it took some traction.
What about this verse For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. 1 Timothy 2:3-4 KJV
Because of unbelief... That's the only difference between Heaven and Hell Is if you were saved or not saved For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all. Romans 11:32 KJV bible.com/bible/1/rom.11.32.KJV
In an analytical depth perception of this scripture, surprize, surprize, surprize. When we reverse the numbers we get 613 sound familiar? The total number of laws in the Tanach all fulfilled by His sacrifice. In Strong's Exhaustive Concordance in the Greek we find, "" to conceal away"(i.e. fully") fig. to keep secret:--hide. Are these not references to the rapture? HIDDEN in plane sight? Is it not a JOY to find these things out? Is there any depth perception out there? I'm wonder and am AMAZED. Yours for the truth, in His love... glenn
The background music is not distracting...... IF you pay full attention to and listen to the message, in stead of listening with "half" an ear.... I listened and yes there is music but concentrate on the fullness of the message and you will not notice the "distraction"... in love.
Also, the verse doesn't apply to people who believed at some point in their past. The greek present active tense is used. Those who GO ON BELIEVING are the ones who get eternal life.
R Wayne , with the capitalization of all in your comment I think you are using it for inclusiveness. Study the use of “all” in scripture. Sometimes it referred to an inclusive smaller circle within a larger circle. So some believe ALL here can refer to all who are chosen or all nations or all will be drawn for judgement for the blood will either save you or not. You do the study. www.biblestudytools.com/blogs/founders-ministries-blog/does-all-ever-mean-all-in-scripture.html
@Domagoj Golubić Do some more study and you can be a heretic and willfully ignorant along with the rest of us. If the second use of all in the verse is everybody the all, the whole of humanity, will be saved. www.biblestudytools.com/blogs/founders-ministries-blog/does-all-ever-mean-all-in-scripture.html and cprc.co.uk/articles/allmeansall/
@@tommymcdonagh8566 I misunderstood what he said with what you said he meant to say. I reread what Grant Nunmaker said, "the music is distracting I had to turn it off..." He said he turned off the music and he did not say he turned off the video. I can't read his mind to know what he intended to say but I DID want to know if there was some techie means to turn the BGM off and keep the original audio. We should all remember that punctuation saves lives. There's "Let's eat Grandma" or "Let' eat, Grandma."
@@tommymcdonagh8566 I guess I should ask you this, "How do you know he didn't turn off the added background music and leave the original audio?" I'm no techie so I'm thinking there is some way to do what he said he'd done.
God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus) that who so ever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting Life. He that hath the son hath Life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not Life. Plain and simple not hard but some would like to make it complicated.
You're missing a HUGE point! Scripture (Jesus Himself says this) clearly states that God gets what He wants (on earth as He does in Heaven) - no exceptions. If He wanted everyone to be saved, then [everyone] would be saved, and we know that won't happen because of Hell.
This scripture was written in accordance to God's perspective and not to the perspective of man. The word "world" in the mind of God was His perfect creation. But because of the fall of the first man un opportunity was opened to the devil to plant the seeds of his kind on earth (gen 3:15, mat 13:24-30). Unfortunately even all of the elect of God will go to damnation because of sin, so God made the intervention through Jesus for the salvation of all that He love and know before He created this earth (eph 1:4-5).
B van V. Always those who use attacks against anyone who dares to express a contrary viewpoint. Does any church play music during preaching? If so, that is sad.
The Cross is the springboard for the resurrection. Christ cried from the Cross, “Tetelesti, it is finished”. If he had not completed the work he came to do he would not have been able to rise from the dead.
To say the background music is annoying is greatest understatement ever made.
I'm LoL, but only in true sense of humor, not reality, He is Truth.
How does the glory of God, through Christ, comes into my life and forever change my worldview, but by the truth of His resurrection 🙏
Agreed.
I agree

What a great sermon from a great man. Background music. Completely unnecessary and extremely annoying
Haven't started into the video but just by going through the comments am already annoyed by the music.
Lol !!!
Please, please, please turn the music off I cannot concentrate on what RC is saying!!!!
Please shut the music off
What a simple yet profound way of teaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. God be praised!!!!!
Thanks for the video!

It's just not good, doesn't go along
Background 'music' is pure noise pollution!
The Greek makes it clear: John 3:16 isn't saying God loved the world "so much," but that he loved the world "in this manner:" that he sent his son.
James Arnes Thank you.
Interesting.
Some sense at last...
The more important part the Greek makes clear is that he sent his Son for those that believe in Him, he did not send his Son for anyone else. Here is the verse translated correctly.
John 3:16 - HCSB
For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
From the Futon
It makes a huge difference because it stops us thinking that God thinks the world is so lovable.
the music in the background is ANNOYING
Gems of Light It s the message that is important. What is more important. The message or the music.
Good Grief! RC Sproul is telling us something important and all the comments are about what? The background music? Oh my my.
It's a bit comical. It's like this suit-and-tie guy is talkin' up in da hood.
I like the music as, it is not overly dramatic or sappy. Sorry. To each their own in tat regard 🐦
He rarely has background music so, it is not like a stylized or pretentious ad or something that
is meant to tug at your heart...for me. 🐦
Would you please consider doing a version of this without background music? Or, can anyone point me to where I can find one? The music is terribly distracting.
I have the same problem with background music of any kind and now stop listening the minute I hear the music.
TURN THE BACKGROUND MUSIC OFF. IT IS DISTRACTING.
Good message!! But the music is very annoying!!!!
It is not a good message. Sproul is damning souls to hell. How dare this gremlin declare that Christ didn't die for the whole world.
It's a good message!! But the music is very annoying!!!!
Shame on you Raymond Reddington the Bible says
it's because God loves the world so much that he sent his son on order that all who BELIEVE would not perish. Shame on you!
According to Sproul God only saves those he forces to believe. So it really isn't whosoever is it? Shame on you!
It's a good message! Shame on you. Don't ignore the Gospel Message.
dope music and great message. im a hiphop fan so i pretty much didnt even realize it was playing in the backround haha

RC got it right, and is enjoying eternity with his Lord and Savior. I wish God could have kept him here for just one more year. There is no one on the East Coast that preached the truth. charismatic chaos is church today. Sad, very sad
Jesus- for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who so ever believes in him will not perish but have eternal life.
Sproul- all does not mean all, world does not mean world, every one does not mean every one, if your not reformed your a universalist. Also we’re not even sure Jesus said this.: all hail John Calvin
165 dislikes. 165 signs & wonders self seekers.
Mark 8:12 NKJV
But He sighed deeply in His spirit, and said, "Why does this generation seek a sign? Assuredly, I say to you, no sign shall be given to this generation."
amen brotha
RC thank you for breaking this down interms of our feeble understanding. You are so missed. Losing you is a devestating loss. There will never be another RC Sproul. I don't know why God has taken RC, Adrian Rogers, and Jm Kennedy, and has left us with Joel:(
R.C. so missed, thankyou for clarity. I always wonder why when using subtitles, God and Jesus are spelled with small g and small j. Would like to see them written correctly
Well, personally, I think that the most misunderstood verses are the ones in the Gospels which generally read, " . . this is my body." It is not "is", literally; it's symbolic. In fact, some translations render it with a dash: " . . this - my body.."
Besides, those at the Last Supper were all Jewish men, who would not drink literal blood. So, that, too, was symbolic. Read U. Zwingli's "18th Article" for reference.
Brilliant observation and precise explanation
only catholics misunderstand that.
No one thinks this is literally
Chris Reid In early Church history Xtians were accused of actually drinking blood and eating flesh by the Jews and the world. Did they truly believe that? IDK, but it took some traction.
I'd like to hear Pastor Sproul but the canned :"musick" is very distracting!
Yeah, the music stinks. A distraction for sure
John 3:16-36 must be read together.
What about this verse
For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
1 Timothy 2:3-4 KJV
Yes, He would have all men to be saved , He also said the road to Hell was wide and many will be on it.
Because of unbelief... That's the only difference between Heaven and Hell Is if you were saved or not saved
For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.
Romans 11:32 KJV

Like the guy says below, the music is annoying. Although hard for me to hear, the message is great.
Praise the Lord God, He is doing a work of grace in me. Normally I am critical and judgemental, but I found NO PROBLEM with the background music.
I had great problem with music!
Please remove the background noise, it's no music
Yes please no music in the background.
In an analytical depth perception of this scripture, surprize, surprize, surprize. When we reverse the numbers we get 613 sound familiar? The total number of laws in the Tanach all fulfilled by His sacrifice. In Strong's Exhaustive Concordance in the Greek we find, "" to conceal away"(i.e. fully") fig. to keep secret:--hide. Are these not references to the rapture? HIDDEN in plane sight? Is it not a JOY to find these things out? Is there any depth perception out there? I'm wonder and am AMAZED. Yours for the truth, in His love... glenn
I like the music and the message.
The music distracted me that I'm not actually gonna watcht the video. Lol.. oh well..
How to turn it off because of the music
Praise the Lord for this clip! Beautiful stuff!! May this bring more and more people to prayer and worship
The background music is not distracting...... IF you pay full attention to and listen to the message, in stead of listening with "half" an ear.... I listened and yes there is music but concentrate on the fullness of the message and you will not notice the "distraction"... in love.
What a twisted eisegesis of a passage that’s so easy to understand
Please no background music. Thank you brother!
Thank you Lord Jesus, Thank you!!!!
Also, the verse doesn't apply to people who believed at some point in their past. The greek present active tense is used. Those who GO ON BELIEVING are the ones who get eternal life.
"And if I be lifted up, I will draw ALL men to myself"
R Wayne , with the capitalization of all in your comment I think you are using it for inclusiveness. Study the use of “all” in scripture. Sometimes it referred to an inclusive smaller circle within a larger circle. So some believe ALL here can refer to all who are chosen or all nations or all will be drawn for judgement for the blood will either save you or not. You do the study.

go edit the word : all.
ynik shia , not edit. Study how it is used and. And a proper application.
i do and was on the same page with you. Your comment above it
@Domagoj Golubić Do some more study and you can be a heretic and willfully ignorant along with the rest of us. If the second use of all in the verse is everybody the all, the whole of humanity, will be saved.

Please could you explain the necessity of the music?
There's an amazing amount of free will in that detailed account.
I kind of like the music...but if it wasn't there, I wouldn't mind.
The music is distracting I had to turn it off I really don't like that It's unnecessary
How did you turn off the music and keep hear the voice track?
@@randycurtis1176 he didn't say he did.
@@randycurtis1176 he turned off the video it self.
@@tommymcdonagh8566 I misunderstood what he said with what you said he meant to say. I reread what Grant Nunmaker said, "the music is distracting I had to turn it off..." He said he turned off the music and he did not say he turned off the video. I can't read his mind to know what he intended to say but I DID want to know if there was some techie means to turn the BGM off and keep the original audio. We should all remember that punctuation saves lives. There's "Let's eat Grandma" or "Let' eat, Grandma."
@@tommymcdonagh8566 I guess I should ask you this, "How do you know he didn't turn off the added background music and leave the original audio?" I'm no techie so I'm thinking there is some way to do what he said he'd done.
If you could appreciate what this man's saying you'd barely notice the music
That background music killed it for me. Can't even finish the video. 🤯
It's an effort to listen to the Sproul's message. The music is very distracting.
God so loved the World that he gave his only begotten Son (Jesus) that who so ever believeth in Him shall not perish but have everlasting Life. He that hath the son hath Life and he that hath not the Son of God hath not Life. Plain and simple not hard but some would like to make it complicated.
whats with the 'lounge music'...ruins the video...
I believe in God's provision for ALL people. God desires ALL to be saved.
Agreed ! ... The VICTORIOUS GOSPEL
You're missing a HUGE point! Scripture (Jesus Himself says this) clearly states that God gets what He wants (on earth as He does in Heaven) - no exceptions. If He wanted everyone to be saved, then [everyone] would be saved, and we know that won't happen because of Hell.
why the background music?
cut out the music.
This scripture was written in accordance to God's perspective and not to the perspective of man. The word "world" in the mind of God was His perfect creation. But because of the fall of the first man un opportunity was opened to the devil to plant the seeds of his kind on earth (gen 3:15, mat 13:24-30). Unfortunately even all of the elect of God will go to damnation because of sin, so God made the intervention through Jesus for the salvation of all that He love and know before He created this earth (eph 1:4-5).
Could you please not put in background music? It distracts from the teachings
Drop the background music!
Stop the annoying music, eh Skippy?
David Patton music er
WHY is there background music????
Didn't notice the music untill I saw whiny comments, please people..
B van V hahahha. me tooo.
Same .
B van V. Always those who use attacks against anyone who dares to express a contrary viewpoint. Does any church play music during preaching? If so, that is sad.
B van V , me too .
The World. Gods sacrifice is immeasurable towards the love he has for you. It is a mountain of personal sin that separates us from Him.
Jesus.
Not my favorite music track, but I can live with it. Thank you for the exceprt from this great sermon!
Ahhhh.....could you remove the guy talking all the way through the music....its ruining the music man!
Especially since he is a lying devil. God means what he said in John 3 16.
1 John 5 9-13 puts it in stone. This man calls God a liar.
@@stuart2868 how is he a liar, enlighten me
The Cross is the springboard for the resurrection. Christ cried from the Cross, “Tetelesti, it is finished”. If he had not completed the work he came to do he would not have been able to rise from the dead.
i love the background music. helps to make focusing on his words easier because our senses are engaged.
Thanks for posting. Don't need any music track though. God's word needs no "background" or "enhancements"!
