Re: What is the "right" music to listen to?

Hmm, from what I remember when I learned from some rebellious teenage Satanist when I held a public burning of Slayer records is that Tom is a Catholic. Catholics are not Christians.

Matthew 23:8 But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; and all ye are brethren.
Matthew 23:9 And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.

Re: What is the "right" music to listen to?

Tom Araya of the so called "anti christian band" Slayer is a devoted christian so would it be acceptable to listen to his music? (he is the singer)

The problem with Slayer is that they are a derivative and boring bit of dated tripe long past their 'best before date'.

Even Exciter have more 'carry forward' relevance than Slayer (and a much better guitar player).

Think Pantera just after they gave up Glam and tights (and copped Exciter).

I suggest avoiding the 'more notes is better' school of badly aging hair-bands and recommend something where actual melody and audible vocals are given a premium view in the production.

(...) not in the same league as Bach or Handel, who are proof that real Jesus-Worshipping Christians can produce better music.

EXCELENT TASTE! BRAVO!

Reverendo, my country is a "painter land" but also has a very rich opera culture (Kraus, Domingo, Carreras, Caballé, Fleta, Lázaro, thousands) and i my father keeps the tradition giving me a high knowledge about classic music.

Well, you are 100% right about, they play in another league and the proof is Messiah (HWV 56):

It helps me to pray when i am nervous, it is super effective.

Let me share a hidden Christian treasure. My father was his friend and told that he had in mind a Sacred Opera. But God wants him near too soon, to play it in the piano for sure.

Smoth and amazing tempis, i hope you like it.

Re: What is the "right" music to listen to?

I hope you all like my music once my demo is finished! My music is in the same vein as one of Pastor Ezekiel's favorite singers.

Generally, I'd like to throw it out there... the style of the music doesn't matter. Any good Christian can plug in an electric guitar and make (almost) any kind of music he or she wants.

What REALLY matters is the message of the music.

To answer TC's question, the "right" music to listen to is the music that preaches God's word. I think it's important that kids today have catchy and fun music to listen to. I am a huge advocate of musical creativity and using the gifts that God has given us. How wrong would it be for us to not use them to spread His word in a way that is appealing to impressionable teens? Too many of them are wayward, listening to 50 Cent, a man who has been shot so many times and should be dead. He has obviously made a deal with Satan to live.

The trick is not to be duped by bands who claim to be Christian but are not. Creed is a perfect example of a heathen group.

Good music should avoid jungle rhythms that serve only to get young ones worked up so much that they end up fornicating. Here's a great example of the kind of fun and catchy tunes that youngsters should be listening to!

Sister Mary Maria, I must say I did enjoy that. My style is a bit different, though. I can't play piano! I do hope you end up enjoying my music, anyway!

Re: Recommended True Christian™ Music

It's a shame that nobody has mentioned this great Gospel classic. Why, those poor boys are so blind they couldn't even count the number of their members.

[Pastor Ezekiel]

Re: Recommended True Christian™ Music

Silence
Trying to fathom the distance
Looking out 'cross the canyon carved
By my hands
God is gracious
Sin would still separate us
Were it not for the bridge His grace
Has made us
His love will carry me

(Chorus)
There's a bridge to cross the great divide
A way was made to reach the other side
The mercy of the Father, cost His son
His life
His love is deep, His love is wide
There's a cross to bridge the great divide

God is faithful
On my own I'm unable
He found me hopeless, alone and
Sent a Savior
He's provided a path a promised
To guide us
Safely past all the sin that would divide us
His love delivers me

(Repeat Chorus)

The cross that cost my Lord His life
Has given me mine

There's a bridge to cross the great divide
There's a cross to bridge the great divide

(Repeat Chorus)

I think it's appropriate that the album title refers to the fact that their blindness affects these singers' navigation.
Of course they're lost. They're blind!

However, the album advertises five blind boys, but I only see four. What a rip-off. Maybe the last one got lost on the way to the photo shoot.

Here's a new one from Brother Omar Harless and the Rumble Community Baptist Band, performing "Jesus Can Do Anything" at the Sunday Morning Service.

Re: Recommended True Christian™ Music

You all know that I'm not one for the jungle music, as it hottens up the blood. But I have to say that these boys impressed me with their Christian message.

Re: Recommended True Christian™ Music

One of my favorite songs. The nigra mammy girl who raised me used to sing this to me every night.
