Amazing Grace History/"Amazing Grace" By Wintley Phipps
NOTE TO ALL VIEWERS: many of you have missunderstood what he said. He did NOT say an african american wrote the words to amazing grace. He never argued that John Newton was not an englishmen, so stop pointing it out! He just said that John Newton was a slave trader and he was. Most of you are so concentrated on black and white, you are missing the point of the whole video!! He is trying to send out a message that God intended for all of us to be united. Weather you agree with the details or not, the message he is trying to send is a good one. So lighten up and take the hint!!When I posted this video, I had absolutely no idea how popular it would become.
Anyone who thinks my intention is to "misinform" or to show any disregard to any race or culture obviously knows nothing about me.
This is a great video, and I love wintley phipps and so I decided to share. I did not expect it to be so huge!!
Of course we all agree that John Newton was in fact a slave trader. Thats the whole point. GRACE. That God can change the hardest of hearts within time if they'll listen. All the other stuff, is just stuff.
As far as not posting most of the ones that try to "correct" his views, it was simply to not cause a riot, the few times I have posted negative comments it caused a big debate between that person and my subscribers and especially considering this video has become so popular and so many people watch it, I wanted to avoid a big, long debate. That's it. So pleasedont be unkind to me and make allegations about my intentions to my subscribers when you are 100% percent wrong about me. I am anything but racist and I dont see how me posting this video would make me a racist, me posting this video means that i'm for unity between races. I have gotten into big long arguements with people multiple times because they made a racist remark. I am the opposite of racist. So please stop saying that because it's just not true and it hurts my feelings.
We are connected by God's amazing grace... it's sooooo true.

Absolutely wonderful. While searching for gospel music, I bumped into this, not by chance....I got educated in the midst. Wow! He poured out his soul as his ancestors did. He did a spectacular job!

The salvation in the Holy Bible came through the Jews, but it's meant for the world. God chose them to bring the Messiah (Jesus) for everyone's salavation. The Apostle Paul uses the phrase "to the Jew first and also to the Greek" to show that salvation is for the Jews first because God chose them as the vehicle through which to bring it. With God there is no favoritism. The blessings that have been given to the Jews are available for everybody. You just have to want them.

Powerful. The hand of God surely rests upon this man.
