And people wonder why Christians are often recognised as non-thinking morons. Please, I choose my own hairstyle. I cut my hair in the shape of a cross, my mustache in the shape of a dove and my beard in the shape of the empty tomb. I'm going to Heaven, baby because I'm holier than all you sinners!

No. Stop this crap now. You're scaring away people who might otherwise turn to God.

(That said, some of what you've said is correct - prosperity gospel being non-biblical bollocks and the hypocrisy in the church). But just so you know, you're a sinner too. Have a great day.
I love this one. What I'm against is the people who do not choose their hair or whatever. They do it to please some other people out there in the Party or school and what I love must align with the will of God and that is why we're allowed to be led by the holy spirit. Remember Samson, God chose how he should preserve his hair. This doesn't mean you can think. We have been given the mind of Christ and the mind of Christ, the holy spirit himself should lead us. God must be included in everything about you if you really want to be like Jesus because Jesus had to do everything for the Glory of God. So shall you do!

I only gave you a hint of how the devil is entertaining the Church and deceiving as well. That is, you didn't get my point when you try to debate. I don't want to debate with any of you. I am only telling you to ask the holy spirit before you do anything. Even before you look back, forward or nothing shall be done by your will. Out of curiosity people begin to forget the holy spirits help and they're filled with the holy spirit but they didn't let him to control them. The bible says after Jesus was baptized the holy spirit came upon him and controlled him. Who are you thinking that you can lead the holy spirit into all truth? He should control us and that is what we mean by born again. When the holy spirit totally controls you, you can not make a mistake as a believer. the tattoo, those hair styles and the present day sermons are not given from the holy spirit. Most of the time ministers preach after preparing a short sermon, not by the revelation of God. Because they're trying to inspire people or to please humans. I am not doing anything to please people.

Galatians 1:10
10 For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ. But there are also holy spirit controlled people and they know they have to receive the topic of their message from the holy spirit, the message outline even is based on Gods direction. That is to give them the right message at the right time. The Apostles were like this. They had a revelation to the extent they speak by fire inside them. Think of Stephen, he was teaching them burning in the spirit. Nothing pre destined is destined properly and the predestination should be assigned by God. Is telling you this wrong?

You,have every God given right to feel the way you want as all do.But you are focusing on things that only God should be the Judge of.Why not focus on what you can help the Lord with and actually accomplish.Talk to unsaved people your own age about God.Don't focus on the outside of a person and judge them.Be of service lovingly.This will only drive many people away it is to extreme.I doubt Jesus would want you focusing on this when so many other important things can be accomplished young man.God bless,and please try to understand I am only trying to get you to understand this won't work out to well.

1. Christian Raps, Christian Rocks, Christian Harlem Shake, and other secular musics are being promoted in the Church and people are calling it freedom in the house of God and those who reject it are known as "Religious", sometimes they even compare us to the Pharisees.
2. Most preachers have nothing to preach but Prosperity Gospel not the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Wait wait, i'll explain it to you!
3. Tattoos, Piercings, Worldly Hair Cuts that represent the styles of the world.

"FREAK4JESUS" asserts they're from Ethiopia in their bio. interestingly, Christianity in Ethiopia dates to the 1st century AD (read Acts 8:24-40) and this long tradition makes Ethiopia unique amongst sub-Saharan African countries.

One of the issues non-Ethiopians may not understand is the problem of the Rastafarian cult in Ethiopia. Rastafarians believe Ethiopia is Zion and Haile Selassie the Messiah. Of course, their hairstyle is well known.

There is quite a difference between how Christian Ethiopians look and dress and how Rastafarian's look and dress.

This thread is the typical, religiously motivated load of crap filled with claims they can't verify or prove. 'worldly haircut'? What is a 'Christian haircut'? Now i know to avoid this guys posts from now on.
dido.

Worldly haircut? I go to supercuts. Am I damned for getting a haircut there? Is there some place I can go and get a non-worldly hair cut?

How do you know what is or is not in heaven unless you are God himself? Only God knows what was, is, and is to come and only He knows our hearts. All truth is God's truth and all music that is bringing glory, honor, and praise to Him is worthy of being sung whether it is beautiful choir music, heavy metal, or someone singing loudly and off-key. The spirit and purpose of the music is what matters. Who are you to tell us who is a "real Christian" and whether or not someone would repent? I love all kinds of music, I have my ears pierced, and I get my hair done at Bubbles. I know mullets are a crime against fashion but geez... Oh please, tell me what styles are inherently Christian and which are of the Devil so next time I get my hair done I'm not spiraling into a pit of sin. I know I'm not the vision of perfection but who is?

Here is a thought for you the tune for "Amazing Grace" is thought have come from a Scottish drinking song. The tune of What Child is This Came" from "Greensleeves." If God can use Balaam to speak blessing to the Israelites, he speak through any medium he likes. I do not disagree the music can be dumbed down from time to time; however, their are some secular artists that are more anointed then any you find in a church. It is unfortunate that many turn to the world and its destruction, but that does not mean God has completely abandoned a genres of music because of it. That's like saying God has abandoned preacher's sermons because of all the self gurus and their motivation speeches and conventions. Praise and worship music can be worldly too! Final though Psalm 150

New King James Version (NKJV)

Let All Things Praise the Lord

150 Praise the Lord!

Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!

[SUP]2 [/SUP]Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

[SUP]3 [/SUP]Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

[SUP]6 [/SUP]Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord!

God Bless you and ROCK ON!

Colossians 3:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. [SUP]15 [/SUP]And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. [SUP]17 [/SUP]And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

We may disagree on the form of the song, but we all seek to "do in word or deed" all things unto Lord. God Bless and may you encourage other's with your Spiritual

[Behold our God. Soon comes the day when heaven stands open and the night fades away.
Salvation and Glory roaring from the skies. Faithful and True. Faithful and True.
He approaches with blazing eyes. And the Lord said, Look I am coming, I am coming soon.
I am the Alpha and the Omega.The First and the Last. The First and the Last.
The Beginning and the End. Look, I am coming soon! My reward is with me,
and I will give to everyone according to what they have done. Cause
I am the Alpha and the Omega, The First and the Last, The Beginning and the End. Prepare for His return.

Come! Let those who hear say, Come! Let those who are thirsty come; and let all who wish to take the free gift of the water of life.

Well well well. I'm alright with all of this. Be who you are called to be! But beware of mixing the churchs style with the world. The devil is doing some work on this. Take Care Y'all. That's all I can say!
You have much wisdom for a young man. I am certain God is using you to open the eyes of those who did not
realize this is a truth many do not want to hear. Keep preaching ~ Don't give up.. Someone is listening to you~

Lucifer is a fallen angel who was the head of the ministry of music in Heaven when he was in heaven. It has been said of him he was the most beautiful of ALL angels and he was the director of the flow of music there (Praise and Worship). Of course, now he no longer is….. but there are several scriptural references throughout the bible the denote his previous authority over music when he was in heaven. One is Isa.14:11 – “Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.” This verse right here is speaking of his fall from heaven, and how all of the glory he had, and the gifts he had fell with him. The noise of thy viols indicates the stringed instruments he had charge over. But yes, actually throughout the bible in passages in the books of Ezekiel, Job, Isaiah, even Psalms upon speaking of his past life…it tells us he was the minister of music there. Of course he no longer is now though. [h=4]Lucifer means morning star.[/h] Job 38:7 – When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy Lucifer was basically a walking talking musical instrument. Ezekiel 28:13 - Thou hast been in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: THE WORKMANSHIP OF THY TIMBRELS AND OF THY PIPES WAS PREPARED IN THE DAY THAT THOU WAST CREATED. 14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire. 15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. 16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering CHERUB, from the midst of the stones of fire. These were the same words that were spoken of lucifer in Isaiah 14:11-14 (11 All your pomp has been brought down to the grave, along with the NOISE OF YOUR HARPS; maggots are spread out beneath you and worms cover you.)-(New International Version) King James Version
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! 13 For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: 17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee

NO, do not apologize for speaking truth. Believe me
you are doing the right thing. If you weren't doing what
God has you doing, the enemy would not be fighting you.
Hang in there my friend. Never, never give up. I had to
learn hard way. Stand and stand firm. You may feel you
lost the battle, but actually you have won. God bless you ~

It breaks my heart to see the way mature Christians can put down a
young person for speaking absolute TRUTH. He is right, satan is in the
church. And the least you can do is seriously read what he is saying. He
cares about the souls of men and women, teens and children. How can you
call yourself Christian and put down someone for telling the truth . And
even if you don't agree with him, you tore him to shreds. Are you happy?
You sure did satan a favor. Shame on you, especially the older Christians.
This could have been handled much better. I hope he finds a hope in Christ
and keeps moving on with the message God has given him. God forgive you
for choosing to shoot down a 17 yr old who has shown more maturity than I
have seen mature adult professing Christians.

You guys make the hair on the back of my neck raise! Of course the devil is working in our church, if you read anything in the bible you see there will be a showdown between the devil and God. There will be lawlessness, and it starts by getting the church to let it in without objection. You are making fun of some of the superficial changes that are happening. I don't think making fun of any of it is appropriate. Do you really want a world where there is no boundaries, where we aren't safe?

God gave the Hebrews the law of Moses thousands of years ago, and the idea of God was to teach people how to make a safe, secure, and happy world to live in. God created this world, and Thomas Edison and Alexander Bell might have been smart enough to figure out how to work with how God created it, but no man is smarter than the creator. God's way still works.

Do you realize that part of this is that there is a meeting of an occult group in almost every town? It is the church, standing firm on law that stops this power. This isn't a haha thing about some drums used in music. It goes a lot deeper.
