Are you the type of person who will condemn music, just because it sounds dark/heavy (or whatever else you are uncomfortable with), by saying this cannot be Christian?
That's a good question.I heard that some decades back,keyboard was not allowed in churches.Now keyboard is not a problem.The electric rock music and the electric guitar is with no doubt introduced for turning away people from Christianity.But if we look at today's Christian world we have all kinds of genres in Christian music.In past centuries it was all hymns and beautiful songs with sound literature.But now things are more simple,sometimes misleading and sometimes very blessed.
Look at Matt Red man's songs for example.All of them have connection with verses in Holy Bible.Really uplifting songs.Look at Newsboys,very different.Not easy to see the any difference.The key is staying on God and not worshiping the bands.Ask God for guidance and condemn none if you don't find any clear indication of anyone being satanic.God will you the gift of discernment.It's because we don't stay strong and don't pray to God much that we fall into confusion.And confusion comes from satan,he is it's author.
Also one more thing.Please take it as a suggestion.Just don't go for so called 'christian music shows' with so mus 'bizz' if they are proclaiming it as a show.Christianity was not established by any style group.It was established by the sacrifice of Jesus Christ.What started in humility and humbleness must continue in humbleness.Judge none.Pray for people, who dress stylishly like the world and think its christian.We are not turning people to Christ but Christ use us to turn people to Him.If we follow him,we need to struggle to walk in his patterns.
Also if you notice today's most christian bands(many of them are unaware and many purposefully) use cult satanic signs and methods.The end result is doom after the initial money success they go through.So when you feel they are to condemned/convicted pray so that some can be saved.We need to act also.
Yes,in short you guessed it correct.Not all are Christian and most bands don't know that.And we have no right to condemn unnecessarily but pray for them even if we condemn.When you point a finger at someone and say YOU ARE WRONG!,later go and pray for them in secret.So that God can have mercy on them seeing your righteous deed.And that doesn't make you righteous but when you pray it leads us to God's righteousness.And God on our behalf starts work in his supernatural way where no one can stop him; so that they change.
Listen to Kutless:what faith can do.Personally i don't like their style.But look at the words.It's full of hope.The point is how your heart reacts.Does it results in doing more sins or are you gradually turning to God.
Always look up.If you got distracted realize it and again look up
Pray to God for guidance and stay away from hi-fi christianity.That is indeed satanic even if there are good people in it unaware.Like i said,God will give you the gift of discernment to stay safe.Even if the whole world dance away to the hi-fi christianity,if one person stays with God Christ will come to take that person to Eternity in Heaven marking the judgement of those who reject him when the numbers will count countless against one changed in the 'twinkle of an eye'.
And don't think that people in older-traditional-looking ways are all right.LOL.That is the biggest blunder that people make.Many are still caught up in traditions and never know Christ.The path to God is neither to the right nor left but straight.And its visible to every person who stays on God.God looks at man's heart but man looks at outward appearance.Pray honestly to God to show the heart of people whom you interact with.That is one thing that where no person can hide anything.
We follow a God who is not a part of any fashion or any culture because he is a timeless being.And everything in him is new always.He came to this world as man and going to return in secret to make us like him(always new and timeless).People who follow fashion and money won't make it.
God Bless.
