I think ill chill in front of you since im satan according to you. And back in your days? im sure ive moshed more than you ever will. never once have i broken my bones or been injured in a mosh neither have i hurt anyone else. there is nothing inherently evil about mosh pits. its a conglomeration of the people inside. if you surrounded yourself with evil and saw those things..well im not surprised. ive been in mosh pits at christian shows and no one gets hurt on purpose, someone might fall on accident but thats about it.
I was rebuking the words you spoke, you are not satan or even close to it. Wake up! I guess I was just casting my pearls before swine here.....

Hey now, guys. I was just asking for ur opinions on this topic for a PAPER. I've been working on a term paper, so it's easier for me to work on if I have opinions. Thanks for those who have helped. ;)

Why would God care how we praise him? There are so many ways to praise God! You can praise him through your sports, your works, and through ANY music! its not about how you sing the song, its about what its about. Also, its a gate way to how people can reach God, screamo is a ministry in a sense as well, bands like Red and Devil Wears Prada have led countless souls to Christ, and isnt that our purpose on Earth? Show others the way to God, and praise him in every breathe we take, and those of you bashing screamo music- not cool. This is part of the reason secular despises christians so much, many of us our being so judgmental, were playing the part of God, he will judge everyone someday. We need to bring people to God by befriending those who are against them and showing compassion and love. Screamo can be a gateway to lead people to Christ as well as a way to praise God, screamo is beautiful, listen to the lyrics not the screamo
here are lyrics to a Devil Wears Prada song called Dez MoinezFall to your knees, accomplishing nothing.
Fall to your knees, only to exercise your schedule.
Abandon calendar.

What has come with such preaching is loneliness.
Profit: zero, achievement: zero.

Forward can't be stopped.
It just goes to show that some words are useless.
It just goes to show that some words are useless.
Take all your medals, take all your ribbons,
Take all your awards, take them, take them back to the ground.
[ Lyrics from: The Devil Wears Prada - Dez Moines Lyrics ]
Our youth is lost;
A product of the created circumstances.
All I can say is maybe
Maybe, maybe
All I can say is maybe
This is what I've been expecting all along, all along.
Now's the time of weakness, now's the time of blood.
Perhaps even the whole-hearted had wished for this.
Now's the time of weakness, now's the time of blood,
And still the time of lions.
Push everything, force everything.

We've all sung of the end, but who truly understands it?
All along, all along

Forward can't be stopped,
It just goes to show that some words are useless.
It just goes to show that some words are useless.
Take all your medals, take all your ribbons,
Take all your awards, take them back to the ground.

this song talks about giving everything to God, and everything you have is because of him

heres another song :Lyrics to Saul Of Tarsus (The Messenger) :
May the world know that I am yours. I
will never be silenced. I will resist my sin to the point of blood, and I will
wear my scars like badges of honor. But let my hope cry out that my God is
greater than the pain of persecution. My God is greater than this
world.

There will never be another chance to live today for God. There will
never be another name that can save us from ourselves. And so, steadfast and
undeterred, I will proclaim the name of Christ to a dead and dying world. I am
not ashamed!
We will resist our sin to the point of blood, and we will wear
our scars like badges of honor. But let our hope cry out that our God is
greater than the pain of persecution.

Blinded, I saw that Christ is Lord.
Now, may the world see you through open eyes. God, my Father, reign

dont be hypocrites people, love others not judge, if we judge we push away, and your doing damage not good. You can praise God in ANY form.

Just because the band members are christians, doesn't always mean that the music they are producing has a christian message, just saying...

Screamo isn't that good to begin with. Personally, Christian music = Christian music, so it all depends on the content. I just think there's an easier way to broadcast a message about God's grace than having your lung collapse.

oh and any screamo band or even all the bands in the whole genre leading "countless souls" to Christ is doubtful....countless is a huge number bro, pick a more fitting word, maybe thousands...maybe.

As far as your favorite 'Christian' band being Deliverance, Jimmy Brown II, the bands only original member, is a self confessed foul mouthed, drinking gambler, & for many years now has been into Kabbalah. A form of jewish Mysticism. Basically they believe the entire Old Testament is not literal & the only way to interupret the meanings in it is to have a special teacher who has learned the special secrets of knowledge about the OT. Or how about the idea that the Jews are the chosen people because God went to all the other races & asked them to follow him & They all said no, so since the jews were the last option he threatened them with dropping a mountain on them if they said no. Yeah, thats what he believes. He tries to combine this with Christianity. Not sure how that works. I've stopped listening to them for a long time.

I said one of my favorites. I hardly even listen to them anymore, but once in a while dude. I guess I gotta start writing books everytime I post to make sure that I specify every detail. A lot of so called "christians" have their vices. As far as his beliefs go, thats his own choice...I'm not involved with them. Thanks for the info...

Silly me thinking 'one of my favorites' should equate to 'hardly listen to'. What was i thinking? And again silly me for thinking of passing on what i thought would be useful helpful information to someone. Again, an apparent mistake of mine. Next time i know better.

Hola!

I first pay attention to what the music makes me feel, then accompany that with the lyrical aspects.

If the message is of love, it need not be screamed, possibly just emphasized by peaceful vocal strength.

Im a singer, I know, I get into the feel of whats being said, envisioning if it might help another in some way, you know how music can do that sometimes.

I think also, would I allow my children to listen to that, or, would my grammy want to even hear it, regardless if the front is that its for "kids". The children are the most important, and this must be realized. The least are the most.

Hope this helps...

Look ugly, I was just saying, in a snide kind of way, that I am not very specific sometimes and that I need to be. Forgive me for coming off like a jerk. In addition, yes, your information was useful and sharing it was in no form a 'mistake'. God bless!

Well I think that screamo goes against the law of music..bands like Demon Hunter, Brian "Head" Welch, The Devil Wears Prada, Oh Sleeper, Underoath, ect. they all make me wana go bang my head against the wall! haha! I mean, let me tell ya....im a HUGE fan of rock music! Skillet is my favorite band of all time! I like Skillet, tobyMac, Red, The Almost, Fireflight, Pillar, Flyleaf, Stellar Kart, P.O.D, Disciple, Kutless, Seventh Day Slumber, The Afters, BarlowGirl, ect. I mainly look at how they act. Does their life show Christ? How about the lyrics? Dont get me wrong, I even listen 2 some secular rock music. I try very hard to be careful what kind of secular music i listen to tho!!!! I try to stay away from music that talks about sex, drugs, or puts down our God. I listen very close to the lyrics!

I think screamo goes against the law of music! I wouldn't listen The Devil Wears Prada, Norma Jean, Blessthefall, Underoath, Demon Hunter, August Burns Red, Brian "Head" Welch. Oh Sleeper, Winter Solstice, Through Fallen Skies, Night After Dark, ect. Don't get me wrong, I am a HUGE fan of Christian rock and rock. For that matter, my favorite band of all time is Skillet!!!! So yeah, i like rock, like, Skillet, Red, tobyMac, House of Heroes, Fireflight, Flyleaf, The Almost, Casting Crowns, The Afters, BarlowGirl, Pillar, Stellar Kart, P.O.D, Disciple, Kutless, Seventh Day Slumber! I think that you should at least be able to hear what the band is trying to say.:cool:
