Why Brian "Head" Welch???!!!

I felt this was going to happen when I listened to his song "Die Religion Die" and even the way he sings gave it away. He went back to Korn for a bad reason and accused GOD of actually LIKING their music. This is what happens when you shun GOD's Laws and act like you have no actually rules to follow when you become a Christian. Where in the Bible does it say that all you have to do is accept Yaheshua as your Lord and Savior and that's it. Your love is shown to GOD mainly by your obedience. If there are no rules, laws, or guide lines, then why does the Torah teach on obedience at all? Do people forget that Satan was once the lead musician in Heaven? If he was the musician of great, holy music in Heaven, then I think it is obvious, with him being the ruler of this world, that he is the musician of evil music here. I do not think that our Heavenly Father appreciates anything that has satan behind it. By my spirit, I felt that Brian never truly left his old self behind. It's just really sad that he let satan deceive him like that. Religion doesn't really die if you are religiously trying to avoid it. Religion is built on the basis of fear and pride. There is not one type of religion. Brian's religion, and mainstream Christianity's (aka. Christian Humanism), are based on the fear of rules, unacceptance, and the type of pride where you think that your way is the right way and you do not have a teachable spirit. The other type of religion is based on the fear of not following the rules enough and making mistakes and being to prideful to let go of the control. Both get so dug into their religion that they just cancel out the Word's commands all together. It's rally disappointing.

[h=4]Deuteronomy 11:1
[/h] Love the LORD your God and keep his requirements, his decrees, his laws and his commands always.

[h=4]Romans 1:5[/h] Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith

You seem to know an awful lot about what his beliefs are. Is this speculation and accusation? Or have you met him and heard these things first hand?

Right on, Ugly. Seems to me, that Head returned to Korn so God could use him for His kingdom purposes.

OP I bet theres a lot of things youve done in the past and realised they were mistakes and had done wrong not realising at the time and repented of, I know I certainly have done a lot!. I cant marry the two together of him going back to korn and his walk with God but its not for me to criticize or have a go at him about. Perhaps hes reaching out behind the scenes? We should take heed to watch for others in our personal life and for ourselves not someone you dont know.

I just read the lyrics. I gotta say I don't find anything offensive about this song. Jesus could have rocked this song out in front of the Pharisees and it would have made perfect sense word for word.

Lyrics to Die Religion Die :
I'm sick of all your rules
They're so man-made
You treat them all like fools
You put my name to shame
I'm everything you're not
I give them love
My ways you have forgot
You put yourselves above

I'll testify!
It's time to see religion die!
The truth can't lie!
It's time to see religion die!
Who cares? Who's right?
It's time to see religion die!
I'll crush the fight!
It's time to see religion die!

My church is not inside your building walls
On Sundays you all hide, while the world just falls
Now go into the world and destroy Hell
You have authority, use it for the kill

I'll testify!
It's time to see religion die!
The truth can't lie!
It's time to see religion die!
Who cares? Who's right?
It's time to see religion die!
I'll crush the fight!
It's time to see religion die!

Children come away with me
I want you all to be mine
I am taking back what's mine
And you've killed too much time
With pointing all your fingers
At your kids that's why they're lost
Try to look deep in their eyes
You will see suicide
Blame it on yourself
Cause no one else will pay your price, your price

Die just, die religion die, just die
Die just, die religion die, just die
Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die! Die!
Die! Religion, die! Die! Die! Die!

Do not be afraid
Religion is man-made
Everything is OK
The rules have just been changed

Well, there's a certain misunderstanding that all religion is evil but God-ordained religion isn't. That said, Head is a fairly new Christian, so that's an easy enough mistake to make.

Quality song though.

I'm sorry guys. I should not have posted this and if I could figure out how to delete it, I would. His life's choices are not for me to pick apart or gossip about no matter how I feel about them.

Brian Head Welch visited the church I attended about 2 1/2 years ago. I was really floored that a fairly well-known performer would come to no-name church in the middle of NoWheresVille, MI. His sole motivation, as I'm sure the church was in no way paying him some giant appearance fee, was to share the testimony of his coming to Christ while being a part of Korn.

He was there for three services and the church was absolutely packed from front to back. I loved that he was so open about his life, including his concern when he first became a Christian that God would not accept him because he had made some money during his time with Korn ( examples such as the camel passing through the eye of a needle being easier than a rich man getting into heaven and the story of the rich young ruler.) He also talked about the realities of being in a band, the temptations, struggles, loneliness, and how God helped him overcome and discover a new life.

The most wonderful part of it all was that most of the large crowds who had come to see him were young people who usually didn't come to church, and many had brought along things for Brian to sign. I was told that Brian patiently signed every last item the kids brought to him, and if he was running out of time and the next service was going to start, he would encourage them to hang around so that he could sign their things after the next service. He made a real effort to make sure everyone who stood in line to meet him got a chance to do so.

And this wasn't done in a "rock star" kind of way at all--it was obvious that Brian really cared about reaching out to these kids. His entire testimony (our pastor "interviewed" him most of the service) was based on what God had done for him, despite the wrong choices he had made (the focus was on God's goodness and work, not his.) Towards the end of the service, Brian encouraged everyone, and most especially the young people, to come up and give their hearts to God, telling them several times, "Don't be afraid."

I'd never been into Korn or followed their music, but I can tell you that attending that service and seeing how excited he was about sharing his testimony, especially with the young people, definitely turned me into a Brian Head Welch fan... Not as an idol, but as someone with a Christian life, faith, and walk I really admired.

Its alright mate perhaps the thread will just drop down the list and fade away soon enough lol

You have 5 minutes to edit/delete any post you make. After that you are stuck. There are only certain, rare occasions when mods will step in, and this wouldn't qualify as one.

first thing came to my mind after reading this is Proverbs 26:11

I wonder if any soul is saved by his ministry.I stand by your side ,you don't have to regret it.

Mathew 12:

43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none.
44 Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished.
45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.

Yet another post with presumption and accusation, yet no fact. And a scripture implying he is possessed? Wow, the self righteous are in full effect in this thread. Love to point the finger, despite not having any proof about what you say.

Even atheists ask for a proof

Even the word "Korn" sounds evil? It's just "corn" as in maize, with a letter K replacing the letter C.

You've never eaten 12 ears in one sitting.

Haha! Well, I know my limits. I enjoy a variety of food, so two corn cobs is the most I've ever done in one sitting.

Kind of reminds me of the Black Sabbath concert I went to last year.

After they performed their new song: 'God is Dead"
'God Is Dead?' by Black Sabbath - YouTube

Ozzy is all like: "God Bless everyone, and good night!".

I had to wonder if he'd spent my time with the lyrics.

But these guys all have something in common: Ozzy, Head, Dave Mustaine... all ex-drug addicts that come to Christ, but still have to earn a living.

All ex-drug addicts in my personal life have one thing in common: Their brain is a bit fried. I love them and all,but I don't full trust them. I especially don't trust them to make the best decisions.
