Hmm. And we wonder why people look at Christians and ask, "Why would I want to be one of them?"
Why do we argue about things like this?
Everyone worships God in different ways.
Different styles of music reach out and speak to different people.
Why is that so hard to understand for some people?
And just FYI, I'm not simply "defending metal music" because I like it so much. I rarely listen to it to be honest. I really prefer acoustic stuff and piano and more vocal-focused stuff. My hubby on the other hand writes metal and rock...and electronic stuff like trance and hardstyle...but that's a different story. Haha. But anyways, even though I may not always really like metal music, I am glad there are Christians out there producing that type of music, because God can use it to reach people that bands like Mercy Me (nothing against them at all, btw...I love 'em) will never be played in their CD players/Ipods/whatever.
Phew. Just had to say something.
Oh and P.S.: Becoming the Archetype is one of my hubby's new favorites, hehe. I think they're pretty cool....even though metal isn't exactly my preferred choice. =]
My hubby's actually writing a metal opera right now...it's about the birth, life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. Good stuff.

The Holy Ghost is called the comforter. He gives comfort to a person in their pain or hardship and makes life for that person easier.
Acts 9:31; "Then had the churches rest throughout all Judaea and Galilee and Samaria, and were edified; and walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were multiplied."
John 14:16,26; "And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever."
John 15:26; "But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me." (also John 16:7)
Revelation 3:20; "Behole, I stand at the door, and knock(not bang): if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."
The Spirit of God is a quiet Spirit. The spirit of Satan is one that brings noise and confusion which is the Kundalini spirit.

Joyful noise.....now to some, that may not be considered QUIETLY.
The spirit of Satan is one that brings noise and confusion which is the Kundalini spirit.Scripture and verse please, that state, ONLY noise ( loud), comes only from satan. Im not trying to argue here, What brings some comfort, may not to others. I like my quiet time, but, i also like to be joyful and laugh.

The Holy Scripture says about it:
So if the whole church comes together
and everyone speaks in tongues, and
some who do not understand or some
unbelievers come in, will they not say
that you are out of your mind?
(1nd Corinthians 14:23)
Here's bottom line:
What then shall we say, brothers?
When you come together, everyone has
a hymn, or a word of instruction, a
revelation, a tongue or an interpretation.
All of these must be done for the
strengthening of the church.
(1nd Corinthians 14:26)

Why does comming to God have to be in a quiete place. I am with God when I am crazy and quiet. When pepole are excited are they quiet? NO! They are loud and joyfull.
There is nothing like getting done playing a loud fast uptempo christian song, then listening to the teacher teach a message from God..
On the other hand. I spent many a Sundy listning and singing slow hymms and ended up falling asleep during the sermon because I was so low. It is hard to fall asleep when you are full of joy and music!

1. We must face the truth:
And no wonder, for Satan himself
masquerades as an angel of light.
(2nd Corinthians 11:14)
2. We need pray always, that we may be counted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass.
For the time will come when men will
not put up with sound doctrine. Instead,
to suit their own desires, they will gather
around them a great number of teachers
to say what their itching ears want to
hear.
(2nd Timothy 4:3)

Very true and some things that look very Christian aren't and some things that look evil aren't.
In my opinion allot of Christian music is fluff and only entertaining to listen to.
I have some rules I like to follow, you should be able to hear the words to the music clearly even if it is heavy metal, and hissing and strange animal noises are definitely out. Bitting the heads off bats is optional, well maybe not, I like bats, they keep the mosquitoes in check.

An experiment was done by a professor, different genre of music was played to water...yes water, now it was found and documented that heavy metal music utterly destroyed the water molecules or crystals, so what does that prove one may ask, well for a start we are about 70% water...imagine what that music is doing to us...go figure!
I was in church and the Lord told me shout Jesus. It was one of those quite churches. I listened to God and shouted Jesus. His presence came on me so strong and he sent me to praying in the spirit and wanted me to shout Jesus more. I obeyed. Was it disrupting the quietness of the church. You better believe it was. Did they wonder if I was crazy? I think so. Did I care what they thought? No. Did I care what God thought? Yes.
My my daughter was at another church wondering if my brother who just died went to heaven or not. She was in trauma. By shouting Jesus, Jesus opened heaven and let my daughter see my brother in heaven. Biblegateway shout and see how many times shout comes up.
I've been hearing songs from people with a depressed spirit in them singing shout to the Lord in a whisper song so slow so boring it was demonic. We had to lay hands on her and set her free.
Some of this hard rock stuff is not OK and some of it is. Where is your discerning of spirits? Talk to God about it. Some of the slow quite songs are not any good either.
I don't think any of this going back and forth is bring glory to God.
