Christian Music(Controversial Subject)

  • Christian Music(Controversial Subject)
    says (21 May '12)

    Okay, I'm beginning this discussion because I'm extremely frustrated with some people on YouTube and websites like Dial-the-Truth Ministries. These people are those that claim that Christian rock, hip-hop, rap, pop, CCM, etc... are of Satan and that these bands/artists are leading people to Hell. So if anyone on here wants to give their opinion on this subject, please do. As for me , I completely disagree with this assessment and become steamed when I read these judgmental Christians accusing Christian bands/artists and claiming that they are hypocrites and leading people astray! These people act like modern-day Pharisees who, though they deny it, talk as if they are self-righteous. I can't even begin to express how much I want to give these people a piece of my mind and prove them wrong!!! Sorry, I know I sound enraged, but this has been bugging me for over a year and I needed to express myself. I also would like to hear opinions of people on this site.

    Thanks to anyone who responds and God bless!

I was hoping more people would give their opinion. People really need to stop asking me why I'm bumping one of my discussions. In case you guys didn't know, I revive discussions constantly- discussions that aren't mine. And Snowboarder, if you don't know what "revive" means, look it up.

snowboarder50's picture

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

Reviving.

I read the first one but I ran out of time for the second one. It kinda made sense, but that isn't the reaction of all Christians. That was an example and he used it to base his whole argument.

Thanks for your input. :) Again, I(and countless others) can prove we are not being deceived by Satan by giving our testimony. Also, If you have the time, and I know you're pretty busy, please read one of the articles I posted the link for below. It's on the first page. You don't have too. It's just interesting to see how these legalistic people think in detail.

I feel you man. I know exactly how that feels. My old band got that all the time, yet if you looked at our logo, it quoted the bible twice I believe. I can't remember because I have lost the picture. But every time we performed, someone would come up to me and tell me that we were leading people astray, and this person has been a Christian for a long time. OH, and they are not acting like modern Pharisees, they are modern Pharisees.

you don't have an email? so they go to your dad's email? XD he must be gettting alot cuz we were talking for a while!

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

I wonder how many emails my dad has received since I'm informed whenever someone comments on my discussion or profile. So sad that the ladder is still not in effect. :(

snowboarder50's picture

yeah that was pretty good. i can sometimes do that. actually, i'm working on a book i'm writing. i'm going to try to get it published when i'm still young i think that would be cool. :) unfortunately tho i'm only on the 95th page of what i hope to be a 300+ book

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

That's a rare example of me being able to write and express my thoughts.

snowboarder50's picture

the one after which Captain Charisma said 'good choice of words Luke'? yes that was good :)

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

We somehow went off topic. Did you see my last post about it below?

snowboarder50's picture

so what happened to the whole thing about Christian music anyway?

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

Awesome haha.

snowboarder50's picture

YAY! actually that was what i was trying to achieve :) and your comment made me smile lol

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

That actually made me laugh. So there you go!

snowboarder50's picture

yeah i guess and i'm not that great at making ppl laugh either cuz when i say something usually ppl STOP laughing XD

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

That's why it's not my thing haha.

snowboarder50's picture

well absurdness is kinda the point of being random so ppl will laugh. . .

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

Randomness is not my thing. It needs to make sense and not sound absurd. Otherwise, I just remain silent haha.

snowboarder50's picture

Me or Luke(KillitwithSkillet14)

snowboarder50's picture

you seem to be ok at it

KillitwithSkillet14's picture

Oh, that one. I've already posted a few times on there. It's hilarious but I have trouble with creating crazy abd random ideas- well it doesn't really matter what type of idea it is. It's just a weak area for me.

KillitwithSkillet14's picture
