My church was founded in the 60's with this kind of music. And, frankly, it still speaks to me more than most "Christian" music.

I especially like this guy. It's better when he has a backup group... but it is still his truth

The term "rock and roll" came from houses of prostitution as it was used to describe the way the prostitutes process clients.
There is nothing Christian about rock and roll, and rock and roll music should never be used for Christian music. The rock beat is for physical and emotional appeal. Whereever Christian Rock grows, all kinds of sexual sin grows. This is documented in many churches which have changed from traditional to modern praise and worship and Contemporary Christian music, affairs always follow in the chuch because the music promotes it with sensuality.
This is the first I've heard of rock-and-roll deriving from cat house activity. My understanding is that it grew from "negro spirituals."

That's because it's a load of bunk. Yes, it's true that rock and rock, actually most modern music, finds its roots in African/American spirituals.

I think you will usually find what you hope to find in anything. I've heard it said that what you see is often a reflection of your own heart.

Then you haven't heard this.

Freedom, by Mylon LeFevre and Broken Heart (band), mid 1980's.

Good 'ol' rock & roll style with biblical based lyrics.

Or how about this one, Big World.

Great in battle, great in wonder
Great in Zion, King over all the earth

If you want my Petra cassettes, you'll have to pry them from my cold, dead fingers.

I feel this way even though no one I know owns a cassette player.

I am not interested with rock music even it is christian music. For me, i am not comfortable to hear this kind of music. One day, my spiritual mentor talked about the christian music. He said that listening with this kind of music can affect your physical and even spiritual. Why do you think so?..

post your ideas!
Well! Some people like ice creams and other like cakes... As for me, I like TFK, Petra... I dislike SALSA, Vallenato, Bachata... music.

I don´t care people make it "holy" by changing the lyrics or using Christian singers: That´s biological in me.

He! He!

No doubt Motorhead, iron Maiden could be reminded, though.

By using this site (Convertidor YouTube a mp3) that video can be converted into MP3. The download is a file of only 4,64 Mb. By using another appliance, such as Roxio or Nero, the quality could be vitally improved to enjoy it more.

Thanks human!

Nope. The term "rock and roll" originated in houses of prostitution. Quoted from Rolling Stone Magazine. Maybe some of those Jazzy negroes spent time in whorehouses, I don't know. Jazz certainly is about as sleezy as music can be.

but one of pastors here had his vision about this.
and in science explanation, it may harm you body ..
it is written on a magazine. i forgot the title.
Yes music has phyical effects on the body. If you want to see the worst of it, google "the suicide song" which was a composition full of dreary depressing tones which became infamous because of the large number of people who committed suicide while listening to it. Rock music is designed to make an addictive rythm with it's back beat emphasis on the 1st and 3rd beats rather than the musical balance of harmony and melody with rythm when the 2nd and 4th beats are emphasized. Rock, christian rock as well, is made addicitive for the money making possibilities, and because it is about promoting the performers rather than the Lord, the lyrics take easy departures away from solid Biblical doctrine and often sound like romance songs more than Christian music. Sometimes there is no reference to the Lord at all and the songs could be seen as nothing but romantic if the listeners were not told it's supposed to be about the Lord.

Contempory Christian music is made for money, and I like to call it "airhead spirituality" because the "artists" think their art gives them a license to ignore biblical doctrine.

You ain't totally wrong SaintJoeNow, but you ain't totally right either. Tell the whole story.

(Direct quote from Wikipedia - and if anyone considers that a questionable source, it's more reliable than a certain rock magazine.)
The phrase "rocking and rolling" originally described the movement of a ship on the ocean,[SUP][/SUP] but was used by the early twentieth century, both to describe the spiritual fervor of black church rituals[SUP][/SUP] and as a sexual analogy. Various gospel, blues and swing recordings used the phrase before it became used more frequently – but still intermittently – in the 1940s, on recordings and in reviews of what became known as "rhythm and blues" music aimed at a black audience.[SUP][/SUP]

In 1934, the song "Rock and Roll" by the Boswell Sisters appeared in the film Transatlantic Merry-Go-Round. In 1942, Billboard magazine columnist Maurie Orodecker started to use the term "rock-and-roll" to describe upbeat recordings such as "Rock Me" by Sister Rosetta Tharpe.[SUP][/SUP] By 1943, the "Rock and Roll Inn" in South Merchantville, New Jersey, was established as a music venue.[SUP][/SUP] In 1951, Cleveland, Ohio disc jockey Alan Freed began playing this music style while popularizing the phrase to describe it.[SUP][/SUP]

Rock music cannot be Christian any more than a house of prostitution can be Christian. A Christian can fall into sin and visit a house of prostitution and listen to Christian Rock music while there, but that doesn't make the music good.

Rock and Roll is how clients are treated in whorehouses, you can google it from Rolling Stone magazine on the history of rock musis, and Christians should have a natural (Spirit instilled) distaste for the term and discernment against the physically addictive beat of that money-making glammer and glitz worldly garbage.

It's called rock and roll because of the physically engaging beat, the same as prostitutes use their beating whorish hearts to pull people in to the pits of Hell.

That's good preaching, thank you very much.

Anyway... who's up for something from the 80's?

There is a tiny heartbeat
That hasn't seen the light of day
Her momma's only fourteen
Will she keep it or throw it away
