i wouldnt recommend reading the link..its a loooooooooong story about gods love n shit...i dunno..im not into reading someone elses interpretation of the bible and telling me how i should live through it..just thought it was interesting...

[RUFiOOOOOOO]

yeah, one time during a sermon i heard "Seventy times Seven" and was like "Thats Brand NEW!" and i was the only one that new that probably so i just kept to myself....

[gun_shy]

you people are so stupid.like,omg,the first thing i thought was brand new,i mean of course they came up with the name and all these preachers are just getting it out of their ass.

[lookitsmarc]

jesus says "you shouldn't just forgive ur fellowman 7 times but seventy times seven times"
i remember pickin this up back in sunday school

yep thats it.

[Signals Corrupted]

Fuck you, Scandinavian fuck.

you've really been shitting on people lately. good job, dom

[Speyside]

It's also referenced in the Anathallo song "Don't Kid Yourself, You Need a Physician"

"From seven times seventy scraping knees, bloodlets, deficiencies... I have found a way"

[ciphillis]

The whole forgiveness meaning kinda makes sence cause aint the song supposed to be about Jesse and John Nolan's big fall out? I'd go with that over the Anathallo song, but wouldn't rule it out, I don't know what these guys listen to.
Who knew Brand New were dropping biblical refrences....

[FailedSenses]

I think it's funny that the song title could possibly mean forgiving and what not and the lyrics mention having someone's "head go through the windshield". Haha. Oh, that Jesse.

[SonEric84]

What the hell? This thread is ancient.

[omegaX]

yeah, one time during a sermon i heard "Seventy times Seven" and was like "Thats Brand NEW!" and i was the only one that new that probably so i just kept to myself....

And then he said "no, thats GOD!" And then you guys so fought like little girls.

In a cage match.

With no pants.

[FinchBulldog2]

What the hell? This thread is ancient.
I was bored.

[Emoknight]

yeah i remember hearing that somewhere.. a few years ago. .i just remember it had a biblical meaning to it

[piebaldkid42]

cool i guess.

[so typical]

is that what it is

[Iscariotmoon]

I know sum1 already said this but I feel the need to repeat it and further explain it all... Jesse/Brand New used Seventy times Seven as the title cause of the fact that Jesse's gf cheated on him with John Nolan (former TBS/ current Straylight Run), and as a result the song Seventy Times Seven was written pretty much having the title meaning "forgiveness." Cause lets face it Brand New chooses to make their titles crafty. In response to Seventy Times Seven, TBS/John Nolan wrote There's No I In Team, hence the whole identical "is that what you call tact" lines in both songs.

I know most of you knew all about this already, but for whoever doesn't now you've gained a little more knowledge...

now they're all anti- Adam Lazarra, cause he cheated on Michelle Nolan, and he still sings songs that have nothing to do with him and are more about Nolan and Lacey...

[im_random]

70 x 7 ALWAYS comes up in my theology class..and everytime it does I sort of laugh and no one understands why.

[End is Forever]

When I had to take my test to get my learners permit, the alst question was how many times are you more likely to crash when driving intoxicated. I picked 7 times based on the pure gamble that the Brand New song 70 x 7 referances it, glad it was right. If I missed it I would have failed.

Wow- just realized this was my 150th post.

[piebaldkid42]

And then he said "no, thats GOD!" And then you guys so fought like little girls.

In a cage match.

hey, i remember you...

[sagona]

so it makes sense.

[Why Bother?]

On Judgement Day, Jesus will sue Jesse Lacey's ass.

[chronomic]

Haha, I remember my friends wondering what it meant in 2001.

I had been raised Catholic, so I knew, but it was funny to see the uproar about people trying to figure it out :P

On Judgement Day, Jesus will sue Jesse Lacey's ass.

Jesse owes Jesus a dollar.

[Jarrodtexas]

[Why Bother?]

Jesse owes Jesus a dollar.

Oh but that means Jesus likes Brand New.

[The Database]

Lol old thread.

[ghostyouare]

Read the book of Daniel.

[irthesteve]

i heard this song is about taking back sunday :shrug:

[joshy hizzle]

Jesse needs more than 'Seventy Times Seven' to be forgiven of all the dollars he stole. Thou shalt not steal Jesse...

"From seven times seventy scraping knees, bloodlets, deficiencies... I have found a way"

"Don't Kid Yourself, You Need a Physician" > "Seventy Times Seven'

Wait...

Anathallo > Brand New

Okay good.

You were real good up to the very last line. Which hasn't been true since LN was released.

[redsand62]

I had to sing a song in my Christian school chorus entitled Seventy Times Seven.

It went something like...

"Seventy Times Seven
don't use a calculator to figure it out
forgive how God has forgiven you
that's what it's all about!"

[thursday727]

"you shouldn't just forgive ur fellowman 7 times but seventy times seven times"

then he said "omg u gunna crucify me wtf"

[IcedOpethBlind]
