General Music Chat

Am talking about rock,punk,contemp,tecno,country and any type of music, that it is not sinful to play,what makes it in my humble opinion as a christian and all who call themselves one,and i mean walk the talk christian,its the lyrics that as a christian we should not sing,about sex,drugs,violence,,cheating,and the list can go on,thats what makes it for A christian wrong,But if we give glory to God and sing in lyric, uplifting God with joy,life and the love of God and what jesus did for us on the cross namely salvation we can play any type of music style and not offend God or any person.And as far as the sacraficial Law of the old testament,Psalms has nothing to do with that,Psalms are prayers and songs of praise,which are as good today as they where back then.and as far as shattering glass with sound,come on are you grasping at straws,how can you compare that with the voice of God,can you make a planet and the stars with the word of your voice???The rest is up to you,but unless you know the bible and what it says in truth,not what you think it means then you will never know God. bless you

Lyrically I must agree with you, if you follow a Belief system like Christianity, it would behoove you to remain solid with what you are conveying your lyric content, e.g. condoning any of the supposed Sins for example.

But, of course this prevention of lyrical Freedom is antithesis to what the Arts are all about. Not only that but this form of censorship would only be appreciated by like-minded Christians.

And acts 17,please read the whole thing starting at v 24 and not just a piece to prove a point thats not there.acts 17 is telling us that we will not find God in objects made of gold and silver,v 30 says truly these times of ignorance god over looked but now commands all men every where to repent.Now what has this got to do with what we are talking about????remember we are talking about music and lyrics.

speaking of bullets..

"Speaking where the Scriptures are silent can be almost as dangerous and divisive as failing to speak where they speak."

this is totally a ruse of the enemy to divide: nothing more.
</rant>

ps. apologies for my harsh tone earlier

IF everything was fine and as the scriptures dictated and then some people added the element not authorized which caused the division then the people who added the unauthorized element are THE ones who caused the division.

Speak where the scriptures speak and be silent where the scriptures are silent backs the view I'm presenting my man.

If the scriptures didn't say to do it we must not add it. I mean you haven't disagreed with the point that we are not told to do it and that it is clearly an idea of men.

If God wanted it he would have asked for it.

"Jai guru deva om"
It's meditation In the song Across the Universe when John is singing "ohmmmmm". I was told the vibrations you make when you create that particular sound are believed to be the sound of the Universe. Probably a lot of folks have enjoyed the song and not realized what he is actually saying. Or doing.
Those Beatles were some devilish folks

OM / AUM! the Divine Utterance! Metaphorical of the Universe as Sound/Divine Sound, Nada Brahma in Hindu texts.

It has been called the Word in the Judeo-Christian Bible, Persian scriptures Sraosha, Kalma in Muslim scriptures, ‘the Sonorous Light' in Buddhism, Naam or Shabd by the Sikhs, in Patanjali Yoga Darshan, the Goddess Ishwara is a Being expressed by this original vibration (Pranav) and Madam Helen Blavatsky and the Theosophists call it ‘the Voice of Silence'.

Those references have nothing to do with Christianity. Kinda like reading a Kubota manual to repair a Kenworth. Worthless.

Pretending to think we can understand scripture has led to many a legalistic downfall and pushed untold numbers away from the truth and the light of the world.

We can be washed in Christ blood, free of sin in our Father's eyes and thereby acceptable into the kingdom of heaven.
As a free gift, that none may boast.

The rest is great conversational material at best.

No jab intended at any individual or group.


Just stating my personal revelation by the Holy Spirit.

2 Peter 1:20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation.

John 8:32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

II Tim 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

II Tim 3:15 And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

And acts 17,please read the whole thing starting at v 24 and not just a piece to prove a point thats not there.acts 17 is telling us that we will not find God in objects made of gold and silver,v 30 says truly these times of ignorance god over looked but now commands all men every where to repent.Now what has this got to do with what we are talking about????remember we are talking about music and lyrics.

Before there was a voice, before there was a physical body to create a voice, there was Sound, there was harmony of Sound (as well as chaos of sound).

Music is organized sound, it is the first / primordial sound, the LOGOS.
Organized sound / music is made of primordial vibration, it is the very make-up of our Being, to deny this is a great travesty.

Only Christianity (according to you) and Islam doesn't recognize this from all the Belief systems in the world now or in the past.

a pointless debate if ever there were one.
one of the silliest arguments I've been in to date.

I'm a bit ashamed I even got into it..

No apologies from me guys.

Debate is good and stimulates introspection.

I'll debate with a good man like Paul any day.

And respect him no less.

My thoughts exactly. And that feeling is 100% mutual!
