I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For Lyrics - U2

Only crowd-pleasing spiritual lies have been accepted on this board for some time now. Lies sell better. They please more of the masses. Pop religion and this pop band have chosen to be bedmates for years.

Give the crowds want they want is the joint chorus of their "love song" - screechingly out of tune with Divine truth as can be.

The LIE of grace
How sweet it sounds
To those WHO WANT TO SIN

Let's them PRESUME UPON CHRIST'S BLOOD
And THEN GO SIN AGAIN.

(Those who follow that have no sacrifice left to cover for their sins - says THE GOD WHO ESTABLISHED THESE LAWS AND PRINCIPLES - whom the prophesied type FALSE TEACHERS violate with their ever- inferior anti-whole-scriptural, antichrist, anti-Jehovah/Yahweh, faulted and injustice-producing doctrines and philosophies of MEN.

Babylon the Great, with all of its FALSE "preachers" has fallen, and its final crashing punishment from God Himself will occur at any time now. Amen.

My friends, this song really give us the picture about what grace is. No matter how much we try to live right, to know God, we just can't reach the place of perfection, it's all about grace. We're not found God, because God isn't lost. In matter o fact He's the one who found us. It's all about grace not law that based on our performance.

all this ranting and raving over just a few words. Well, Jesus justs wants you stop fussing and start follwing His Command to love others as we love ourself. Feed the hungry, heal the sick. Just ask Bono, he knows how to do it.

A response to the Bible thumpers in the list: this is a song of faith. What he is looking for, is not salvation; it is the abundant life. Any Bible readers ever heard of the abundant life? Some news for people who take very chance they get to preach to the unsaved: walking with God is not only about throwing the book at people; it is about everything in life. Consider this and then re-read the lyrics.

Having clambered back and forth over the blazing "Berlin Walls" of Belfast in 1969 with my trusty Fender bass I think that not so much the spirituality but the reality of "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" is Bono and U2 doing a rock band tour in fact of Belfast.

Time is running out for humans to seek God, find Him and learn what He says to do, obey Him, and become and stay loyal to Him. He has already told people, in His words, what they need to do, and that information has been put out "in all the inhabited earth" now, in this final part of the last days (of this world system) - so the "end" of it will come soon. (Matthew 24:14)

that's what all religious people are trying to do, in their own way. the holiest of men experienced complications of life in comparison to god's creation and had doubts; but they still plodded their way to god. there's much more to religion, meditation and spiritualism than meets the eye. this artist has definitely come very close to both the positive and the negative energies around us. if he continues to search in his good honest way, he will probably find what he's looking for, because we all fell short of god's glory in different ways.

Most of humanity will SOON be dead forever, when God soon enacts his Day of vengeance and justice against all persons who continued to make all sorts of self-serving "excuses" (SUCH AS THEY "STILL HAVEN'T FOUND WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR" [yet,"How can [they] stand next to the truth and not see it]),"excuses" for why they just couldn't bring themselves to do the naturally right things of HONEST-heartedly seeking and then LEARNING God-required truth from His own words (John 17:3,17), and then OBEYING IT (John 3:36).

I feel that this song means something different to each person. Seriously, I am a Christian and I even go to a Christian college. I feel like the song is portraying someone who WANTS to believe in God, but somehow can't manage to do so, thus they keep looking for more and haven't found what they wanted to yet. The artist is showing doubt and emptiness in religion, which we are all capable of, even as believers. This is my opinion...and we each have our own. Just because the song is "of the devil" to you does not set it in stone and make it the same way for everyone else. We all sin and we are not perfect, which is precisely why Jesus died for us. Doubt is NOT unbelief. Even Christians can doubt their religion and not feel completely content sometimes.

Honestly, when people preach so much and do not sympathize with others, you are bringing a very bad view upon yourselves and other Christians. You cannot force faith on people; they must accept it by themselves. Yes, I understand you can "plant the seed" in their minds about Christianity and accepting God into their lives, but beating it into them is no good and it does not benefit. You come off and harsh and unrelenting, and also unforgiving of the sins of others because they are not "believers." Is that REALLY what a Christian should appear to be?

A simple, short and effective message would work much better. I think the people get the point. And really, is all the fighting necessary? It's one song. This is pretty ridiculous.

As stated, this long-time internationally mass-media-ed song DOES promote and reinforce to God-defiant individuals (and those still ignorant of the Creator's scriptural mandates) - TO CONTINUE TO DISMISS, if not DEFY (and even FIGHT against) - LIFE VITAL scriptural life-and-survival instruction that IS being globally messaged by Jehovah/Yahweh the Creator through his loyal and obedient global people to their fellow human beings during these last of the pre-Armageddon days (just as prophesied). (Matthew 24:14; Isaiah 43:10; more.)

For that, it is a deathful song for the many who are using it as an ANTHEM to NOT LISTEN to and OBEY the Heavenly Father's OWN WORDS that HE is so purposely having put out throughout the whole earth at this critical time.

For those who do use this song as a theme song by which to fight God Himself by fighting his scriptural messages, this tune surely does become a fool's anthem.

It was Satan the Liar - not anyone nobel, true, just, loving, or righteous - that first implored mankind to DEFY GOD, ignore what
the Maker said, DISOBEY Him, aka "Do what thou wilt", "interpret" God Almighty's own orders yourself as you wish (however it suits individual humans), etc.

However, just as Satan's LIE of the above did result in bringing suffering and DEATH into the world beginning in Eden; so that LIE continues to cause immeasurable suffering and death among mankind. And, for those who are found still DENYING, DISMISSING, defying and disobeying Jehovah/Yahweh the Universal Sovereign's own clearly given true scriptural commands and warning words come Armageddon Day, which is VERY SOON, they will, by Divinely-given scriptural standards, permanently lose their lives, their whole eternal futures that could have been theirs....

to live here, for the most part, on this Earth made into a paradise - here, in peace and happiness forever, under the perfect global Rule of Jehovah's appointed perfect King, His Son, Jesus Christ - in the earthly part of the REAL, SCRIPTURAL "KINGDOM COME", which this song borrowed the term/allusion of, but has come to fail to do justice to: Many people have now used this song as their heart-and-mind soundtrack by which TO SHUT OUT the VITAL scriptural instruction their own Maker has purposely offered to them for their own good, the good of others, reconciliation with their own Maker, and the preservation of their lives - their answer back to their Maker has been (for their choices of words and action), "NO - it's [and You are) NOT "what I'm looking for", Creator of me."

Religion has and always will be a subject that brings out passionate debate. Don't think for a second that what you think & "preach, is "gospel". It is merely your interpretation. If you get angry at people & the world about their interpretation, then you don't have a pure heart. This world has billions of individuals, & thus have the "God given" right to say & believe what they want without being judged by individuals who "think" they know better. You don't. By the way, gorgeous song, love it. Enjoy each precious day on this beautiful planet, because life is way too short. My love to you all.

I've always loved this song, mostly because of the lyrics I think. I can relate to them because I'm still looking for that something in my life, and even Religion hasn't seemed to be it. I guess I'll keep looking, but it's nice to see that even big superstars like Bono sometimes feel the same way as little ole me!

The greatest part about this thread is the wannabe online preachers lol X) If you want to preach, keep it in da church man. Quit wasting your time on people who don't give a flying ef on what you have to say about a, SONG! Word up to the dude who said music is entertainment and they were just trying to look up the lyrics to a cool song, that's what i was doing, and then i scrolled down the page lol. How a wannabe preacher finds the time to put in freaking 50 bible messages in a thread about one song is repulsivly sad. I have't even read that many words in books. How does she not have carpel tunnle disease? Now you're all thinking this question to yourselves...... bam! I mind effed all of you!??!!?!??!!?!@#$%^&*^%$%

I have NEVER seen such long winded OVER analyzation of a top 40 pop song in all my life! REALLY?!! You get all those paragraphs and scriptures outta ONE 3 and a half minute song?!! Are you INSANE?!! Do you always have to have it YOUR WAY whenever some one makes references to God's word?!! What makes you such an expert?! Bible college? Some other bible studies you've done? The bible is a LONG complicated book and only God has mastered it!!! If you don't like what Bono and U2 have to say then SHUT UP and TURN YOUR RADIO OFF!!!

What an interesting thread dissecting the subtle undertones and meanings behind these lyrics. Do you not feel that having climbed highest mountains/run through fields/scaled city walls if Bono had only thought to check down the back of the sofa in the first place we may all have been spared this analysis. I so wish that in 1987 U2 had instead released the hit song, 'Great found it, it was down the back of the settee all along'
