Re: Thoughts please?

Friend,

The Lanover servers block out Youtube, but I will speculate you song uses the Devil's own 4/4 time with the notes off the beat. Am I right? You need to be on guard for Satan's tricks like that. Remember in Heaven the Angels do not "jazz up", "rock" or "rap" the beat. Like with His word Christians are strictly sheet music only and "white" with the beat.

I hope this will help you friend.

The Devil doesn't have his own timing in a song. That doesn't even make any sense. There is no logic behind this.

The Bible never says Rap, Metal, Rock, Country, Electronic, or anything like that is bad. Not even once.

Of course, Angels probably won't be screaming to metal, or rapping to beats, even though it is a funny thought. That doesn't mean every other type of music is wrong though.

Re: Thoughts please?

This doesn't say anything about instrumental music.

Music is not satanic in the slightest until it is given satanic lyrics. Metal music can be Christian, Rap music can be Christian, Country music can be Christian, ect. All of these types of music can be satanic as well.

Music is music, nothing more. Lyrics are what changes that.

Speaking of your lycis, I see another trap Satan has lurid you into; you have put to much of your personal experience it in friend. Remember God doens't want to hear about our worthless, insignificant, richly deserve hell lives. God wants to hear how wonderful He is. You need to remover any humanity from your songs and concentrate of the Divine!

I would think it's pretty clear Angels wouldn't mess with the beat. After all how does discord follow His Will? Discord is what led to the Fall after all.

Until I see where the Bible says to only sing/create songs about God and nothing else, I will stand by my answer.

God allows us to have interests other than him, just as long as we don't start worshiping that other stuff.

The Angels will have their own music that they will sing, that much is true. It would be awesome if they did metal, but hey, I won't complain.

Us humans have created our own types of music though. This music that we have created is what we use to praise him. There is nothing wrong with that. Just like how we created internet. We make forums dedicated to talking about about him.

I'm sure whenever a Christian metal band plays their music to worship him, God bangs his head along with them.

Yes, we have other interests besides Him, but that is because we humans are petty and selfish and more interested in trivial stuff like our next meal than to give proper thanks to our Creator. We all TRULY deserve damnation, but fortuitously for us God chose to forgive some of us! GLORY!

I would say a Song to Him is just a like a prayer to Him and I would use The Lord's Prayer, the one Christ taught us, as the model. As you can see the Lord's Prayer doesn't let us selfish, petty humans attempt to steal the spot light from God.

Somehow I fail to see how Jesus would approve of us in full guitar hero pose gyrating our spandex clad hips while the drum section goes apeshit. That sounds far to much like a selfish human trying to push God off the stage.

On the other hand it would be awesome if Christ was a lead singer.

Friend, I applaud you for understanding that the Bible is the first and last word on all matters!

We have a motto here, "Scripture, or it didn't happen."

It's so rare to see any newcomers taking that to heart, and again, I applaud you for that.

However, it is important to understand that, as an unsaved human, your ability to understand scripture is not perfect. When in doubt, it's always best to look to a Landover pastor or True Christian™ to make sure you're not replacing God's truth with your own fanciful interpretations.

That verse says to praise God with music. That's what Christian metal/rap/country bands do.

No rap "band" has ever made anything remotely resembling music.

If you two self deceivers can tear yourselves away from the mirror for a minute you might like to read this:

ECCLESIASTES 7
3 Sorrow is better then laughter: for by the sadnesse of the countenance the heart is made better.
4 The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning: but the heart of fooles is in the house of mirth.
5 It is better to heare the rebuke of the wise, then for a man to heare the song of fooles.
6 For as the crackling of thornes vnder a pot, so is the laughter of the foole: this also is vanitie.

This gave me a good laugh.

Though I don't like rap, it is indeed a form a music. Not a very creative one, in my opinion, but a genre of music none-the-less.

Proverbs 15:13 - A merry heart maketh a cheerful countenance: But by sorrow of the heart the spirit is broken

Proverbs 17:22 - A merry heart doeth good like a medicine: But a broken spirit drieth the bones

Nehemiah 8:10 - Then he said unto them, Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto them for whom nothing is prepared: for this day is holy unto our Lord: neither be ye sorry; for the joy of the Lord is your strength.

Those passages refer to joy in God, not joy in music and especially not joy in the modus lascivus of satanic grindcore

No, the LAST passage refers to joy in God. Not the others.

That is just cold.

Why don't you soften your heart to Jesus instead of perverting the message of the Bible?

I'm not. I'm presenting verses from the Bible about how you should live your life happy.

Look for verses about being happy, and you will find them. Look for verses about sorrow, and you will find them as well.

Again, it's all about your interpretation.
