Re: Recommended True Christian™ Music

I was stating a fact, who knows, maybe they turned over a new leaf. After all if Iron Maiden can pull off having a more Christian message than some of my Christian CDs anything is possible.

Do tell.

Not about what Iron Maidens are "pulling off", but about their Christian message.

Actually, this does sound quite plausible... I can't be the only one to have noticed the startling similarity between Bruce Dickinson of Iron Maidens and Cliff Richard:

It's frankly uncanny.

Brother is that the Homer Donny they are refering to in the Straight For JESUS Section here on GOD'S Favorite Forum(tm)?

It's probably not Christian the way you think of it, but God and religion are subjects in a couple songs on the new album a mather of life and death.

for example:
Are you a man of peace
Or a man of holy war
Too many sides to you
Don’t know which anymore
So many full of life
But also filled with pain
Don’t know just how many
Will live to breathe again

A life that’s made to breathe
Destruction or defense
A mind that’s vain corruption
Bad or good intent
A wolf in sheep’s clothing
Or saintly or sinner
Or some that would believe
A holy war winner

They fire off many shots
And many parting blows
Their actions beyond a reasoning
Only God would know
And as he lies in heaven
Or it could be in hell
I feel he’s somewhere here
Or looking from below
But I don’t know, I don’t know

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

More pain and misery in the history of mankind
Sometimes it seems more like
The blind leading the blind
It brings upon us more famine, death and war
You know religion has a lot to answer for

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

And as they search to find the bodies in the sand
They find its ashes that are
Scattered across the land
And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins

And all because of it you’d think
That we would learn
But still the body count the city fires burn
Somewhere there's someone dying
In a foreign land
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man
Tell me why, tell me why

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

For the greater good of God (x8)

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

Please tell me now what life is
Please tell me now what love is
Well tell me now what war is
Again tell me what life is

For the greater good of God (x8)

He gave his life for us
He fell upon the cross
To die for all of those
who never mourn his loss
It wasn’t meant for us
to feel the pain again
Tell me why, tell me why

I have it on good authority that the subjects of God and religion are also both mentioned extensively in the new Slayer and Deicide albums, not to mention Karl Marx's Contribution to a Critique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right, Freddy Nietzsche's Thus Spake Zarathusa, and Richard Dorkins' The God Delusion. Just mentioning the subjects of God and religion doesn't automatically make you a Christian, you know.

I could have seen that one coming... However, there is quite a difference between
Oppression is the holy law
In God I distrust
In time His monuments will fall
Like ashes to dust
Is war and greed the masters plan?
The Bible's where it all began
Its propaganda sells despair
And spreads the virus everywhere
(Cult- slayer)
and the lyrics I posted before... But you're right, mentioning God doesn't make it Christian... but the new album does have a more Christian message, compared to the previous ones.
not that means a lot, anyway...


by the way, you do seem to know rather a lot about music, or metal to be more specific.. How come?

It is my duty as a Christian to have a good working knowledge of all the Devil's works, in order that I may better combat them. Buddhist philosophy, the doctrines of the medieval Catholic Church and grindcore all share a common origin in Satan, and it is vital to be familiar with them all if one wishes to challenge their hold on impressionable young minds.

Re: Recommended True Christian™ Music

That's an interesting picture Mr Lizard.
They don't appear to be too happy, perhaps they haven't got Jesus© in their lives?

[Bwack Lizard]

Re: Recommended True Christian™ Music

I don't think they're suppose to look happy. It's a part of the show to look scary and non happy. Some people somehow find it entertaining (like me).

I'm not too familiar with the concept of not only looking ugly but also being miserable too.
I think they need the Love and Light of Jesus in their lives.

Can you explain the "entertainment" value?

[Bwack Lizard]

Re: Recommended True Christian™ Music

It's just show. I don't thing they look like that in there real lifes. Hm... the entertainment... somehow, I find it unique to other artists. They look different. And the music they make is different. it's called "Black Metal".You can read more about it here if you want: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_metal

It's unique. That's what I think is cool about it.

I'm only allowed to listen to Biblical Music here at Freehold.



It's been real interesting hearing about your choice in music, but it does seem to be just a bit "Satanical" for my liking.

[Bwack Lizard]

Re: Recommended True Christian™ Music

They look funny. Hm... is it pop music? Rock? They look like normal people and that's what I think is boring with that kind of music. I've been looking for something unique for a long time and now I've finnaly found it! Also... if you would start listening to music that has Satan is there theme, would you not be a true christian anymore or what? Also that band there... I think they look "geeky".(?)
