General Music Chat

Lets switch gears and find out who is your favorite christian artist or band.There were some good ones out there like Petra,White Heart,Stryper,DeGarmo and Key,Greg X Volz and the list goes on.You didn't need to be a Bible thumper to enjoy these great artists.So,anyone care to share

'PETRA' By all means!

CREED

Bono of U2. lol

You can be a christian artist and not have to be involved in an all inspired christian membered group.So,if that be the case with Bono then I don't see the humor but if you just threw that in cause you thought it was funny then haha............

Look pal, I AM A CHRISTIAN, don't get all holy roller on me. You'd be looking down the business end of the barrel.

Better pick your targets carefully or you may live to regret it.

I may be a Christian, but one thing I despise is people that lean on it.

Are you familiar with the Dead Sea Scrolls? How about Qumran-Sadducean theory? Codex Vaticanus?

(licking my lips) I eagerly await your retort.

PS: Bono is a Christian, if you understand his lyrics it is as plain as the light of day.

First let me apologize if it sounded like I was coming off holier than thou cause I'm a far cry from being that..I was just commenting that a christian artist can be involved with seculiar music and bands.
I was inquiring of Bono as you were LOL after your post so I thought you were having fun.I was interested in knowing that Bono was a christian artist and lastly I'm not knowledagable of the topics you mention.

Bono is a Christian.

(finger waive and squinty eye look) Be forewarned.

I don't care if Bono is Christian, Hindu or Druid....he's a good guy who has turned his clout into a positive force to aid more than one humanitarian cause. I wish there were more like him, so called Christians or not.

Agreed, but the point was that he was surprised that he was a Christian.

I laughed as Bono is very popular and yet he is a Christian. Most people are uncomfortable with this fact and I have no idea why.

I wouldn't care if Jimi Hendrix was Hindu, the man could play.

The premise of religious music, with the exception of a few things is very weird. Either music is good or it is not, religion has no bearing on content and that's an opinion.

only 4 or 5 posts for the thread to turn sour..
not too bad I guess..
anywhoo..

Petra rocks fer sure..
I saw them live back in like, 2000 or something..
They were totally awesome.
John's voice was so strong.

However, by far IONAhas had a profound influence.

Depends on what you mean by "religious" thar, Cap'n. If you mean "organized religion" I would agree with you. If you mean "spiritual", then I certainly don't. There are different forms of spiritual music around the globe that are truly amazing and moving. Have you seen traditional Hindi musicfrom India? It is a form of ritual. The Raggas themselves, I am told, are divinely inspired.

I meant organized religion.. LOL


YARRRR MATEY lol

There are a bunch of new Christian Bands out there now Kutless, Disciple, Skillet, Red, Switchfoot, Pillar, POD, Day of Fire (remember Full Devil Jscket thats their old singer Josh Brown), Third Day, Casting Crowns, Mercy Me, Jeremy Camp, Falling Up, just to name a few.

Don't you ever wonder why a band has to be anything but what they are?

AS in I think it is a bit of a cop out by saying that you are a "Christian Band".

U2 for instance, says nothing publicly. I admire that. They are popular and play well, regardless of their beliefs. They want to be musicians first and foremost. I think that is the most admirable mind set.
