This is annoying... why does everyone bash contemporary christian music??? If the lyrics are glorifying God.. That's all that matters!! Get out of tradition ansd stop putting limits on God!! God can use ANY genre of music to got His message across!! I love Christian Metal.. Becoming the Archetype is my favorite.. Their music puts me in spirit of worship.. Many of thier songs talk about the absolute power of God. How dare you tell ANYONE how to worship God!! That's a control spirit.. and i rebuke that!

HOW ELSE are you going to attract "metal heads" without metal music?
I grew up with the greatest music of all time. (I'm 47 on May 1 and have been listening to music all my life. IMAGINE the songs I heard!)

"Metal heads" want to listen to Heavy Metal. Why not "Heavenly Metal"?

I love ANY music that is Christian. Metal. Hip Hop. Country. Praise and Worship. If it glorifies God, I'll listen to it.

Rock on, Dude!

How do you know whether or not I have respect and reverence for my LORD?
Have you been with me as I worshipped?
Some people on this website are so judgemental. And we wonder why people who are seeking God turn away when they meet certian Christians who say ''You must do it my way or you're wrong!''
For your information, I revere and respect NO ONE more than I revere and respect God.
He is my all in all, my redeemer, my savior, and my LORD.
Without Him I would be nothing.
The music doesn't matter. What matters is the relationship between the person and God. True worshippers worship in Spirit and Truth, no matter what is going on around them.

If listeningto and creating metal music is conforming myself to the world, then I guess I shouldn't wear clothes either. After all, people of the world wear and make clothes.
And maybe I shouldn't live in a house either. People of the world live in houses that look a lot like mine...

There is also plenty of secular music that (musically) sounds a lot like slower, more "intimate" Christian music. What matters is the message behind the song, and whether it was produced in order to glorify the LORD, or to glorify man.

I would just like to respond to this. Check out my daughter's website Social Hazardz, she loves Christian Metal, Punks, Goths, etc. She fully believes in ministering to this group. She's getting married soon and a Christian rocker is performing the ceremony

Music is preference. I am not going to speak for people who listen to it but if the music does not influence you to a negative behavior and serves as a encouragement for God then im not going to make a judgment saying its wrong.
It's my job to proclaim the Bible not what is not in it. Just because you "think" or "feel" something is wrong doesn't mean it. If there is something that is not proclaimed a definite sin by God then this is what the Bible says.
Romans 14:10
You, then, why do you judge your brother? Or why do you look down on your brother? For we will all stand before God's judgment seat.
They know in there heart how it effects them and there accountable to God not us. Let them pick, personal conviction is there business not everyone else.
But I will say this. All contemporary music is for mainly entertainment. Which is not wrong but in my opinion its not meant for church. We don't need high adrenaline and we don't need to be rocking out in church, that is for our glorying not God. Same goes for rock music ect.
But for a entertainment and personal purpose that is personal preference. You make the judgment not us.

There is no such thing as evil music, or good music for that matter.. It is the lyrical content that makes it good or evil

That is not accurate. Some people get influenced for wrong things even with good lyrics. But not everyone. Some people can listen to it if it encourages but others shouldn't if it brings them down. There's not a one statement answers all for this subject it all depends on the person.

Can you show me biblical proof that Christian metal music is wrong and was created by Satan?
I agree that music definately influences people, but MUSIC itself isn't evil. It is the message/spirit behind the song. If the message is about God or to glorify Him, how can it be evil?

Do you also think that old-fashioned church hymns are evil?
That type of music was first written in honor of Greek gods, figures, and heroes.
Later, Christians made some changes and made music to glorify God. Are those songs evil?

And about the clothes and house...I was simply pointing out that just because we also do some things that are similar to what the rest of the world does, doesn't mean we are "conforming" to the ways of the world.

Do we limit God if we believe this is not used for His will?

Jesus Himself said He could use a rock to spread His glory (Luke 19:40)
Where does the Bible say He can't use rock music to spread His glory?

Only man in his limited and opinionated mind tries to limit what God can and cannot use

Metal music is of the spirit of the world, it does not matter if it claims to be "christian", the same can also be applied to some rap music too.
For we have not received the spirit of the world but the spirit which is of God.



1Co 2:12 "Now we did not receive the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is from God, in order that we might know the things granted to us by God;"


Does the spirit of of God have anything to do with this secular music which was originally made by secular people?... No. For those who enjoy this kind of music are of the world.
"These are those who cause divisions, worldly, not having the Spirit. (Jude 1:19)

My point is that it is a tradition of men, not of God. Nowhere is metal music a part of Holy Christian Tradition.
Its funny how some Protestants who listen to this kind of music mock at the Catholics and Traditional Christians for following "Men", when they themselves practice the very things they condemn (Romans 2).

I see it as limiting God to have to choose or use rock and metal. Rock and metal were created out of the foundation of evil and the spirit of rebellion, they are all about rebellion.
I used to be into heavy metal for a long time and believe me, I'm doin ok without it.



1Th 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.
1Th 5:22 Abstain from all appearance of evil.

I listen to Christian Rock/Metal. I am aware that the history of rock music is devilish. The roots of rock n roll music are very evil. I have thought to myself time and time again if listening to Christian Rock/Metal is bad. It is fine when it comes to the lyrics [at least for the bands I listen to], but the instruments and the rhythms from those instruments were originally meant to worship satan. But I always thought to myself, can't a band pray and dedicate their instruments and music whole-heartedly to God?

The only good thing that I see in secular Christian music is that it can draw in secular people to the Faith.

Indeed it does. But would you think it is possible to overcome the devilish influence and spirits of rock music by dedicating your instruments and music to God? I'm not saying any bands do that, but.. just a thought that has been bugging me.

I don't know, maybe this cannot be answered, and I don't think that all rock music is demonic, its just the heavy guitar riffs, lyrics and drums (instrumentals) that can make it demonic. These things, being the creation of the human spirit, are very easily led captive by the spirit of idolatry, and that is really what is evil about it, idolatry. For by itself and in its very nature, it can teach man not to worship God but the instrumentals and earthy tunes, because that was what rock music was created for - idolatry. If you look inside yourself and your internal spiritual state, you will notice that you have made an idol out of rock music and that it is, in fact, idolatrous. Because of this, there is a very fine line in this sort of music between the worship of God and the worship of self (idolatry), and I think some people who listen to it worship the music and themselves rather than God.
