i recently bought a how to book on music theory by some dude called the "nashville number system".... Ok. so recently i've become aware of how much the occult is wrapped up in numbers and using them, so i wanted to know if this was an evil way to compose music.

I'm concerned because i'm trying to learn how to write music, but after extensive research i have found EVERYthing related to music is demonic in one way or another. Christian music industry is not safe from either...they have a one God only agenda dismissing the trinity. Have you seen how even Kirk Franklin has sold out lately? Grammy performance with the symbolic red drape? hello!! One God. One religion. Allah,God,Jesus, mother earth....whatever that ONE God is to you.

Even the basic music staff was created by freemasons and evil forces... so what's a girl to do? I need instruction with music but have become afraid to use it's demonic beginnings...like the staff, the notes, etc.

My honest answer. Get a grip. God didn't tell us to sit around looking for conspiracy theories and demons under every rock. I think all of this sort of stuff, and the Illuminati and all is fake. And the Real evil of it is in how distracted and misguided and paranoid Christians become. Because if we're afraid to do anything because it's evil then we are silent and hiding. Living in law and fear, not grace and freedom.
So forget all that manure and go live life how God Intended... in freedom.

There was a lot of music in the book of Psalms. I'm sure none of it was demonic. What does learning how to write music have to do with joining the Christian music industry? Music was created long before the freemasons. You probably shouldn't watch the Grammy presentations anymore. I'm not sure if its demonic or not but probably a waste of time.

Sounds like numerology which is nonsense.... I don't know anything about music other than listening to it but it's an all music essentially just numerical patterns?

On the surface it would appear that way. Below the surface there is so much more to music.

John wrote that book in code that would sail right over the heads of anyone who couldn't, because of lacking certain experiences, relate to what he was saying about those times.

For sure. One of the things I like about guitar over piano is ability to incorporate microtonal bends that are almost indiscernible to the average listener but add interest or "sauce" to what is being heard. Nuance, as it were.

A perfect major 3rd is impossible on the guitar because of the fact that the guitar cannot be tuned perfectly over the entire neck.... Even on the most finely crafted instruments. But it can be bent to pitch. Some people think it evolved that way because of the old blues players playing in hot bars in the south had to compensate for being out of tune by slightly bending notes to pitch.

All that to say is that you and I both know that the majority of the population lack the ability to see beneath the surface of a lot of things. In some ways it would be easier being a simpleton who can't see beyond their own preconceived notions and "truth" that was drilled into them from infancy. Perception and intuition is a lonely road sometimes.

Sorry Ugly and Christians in denial, but the Illuminati is real and many of the conspiracies are their doing. There is an Illuminati agenda to make people doubt their existence and to believe that conspiracy theorists are just "paranoid".

Guess what? We are paranoid, because for whatever reason we believe the conspiracy theories and many of us have not processed the implications yet.

So you can give your little speech about how we should just ignore the problems because they are not real, but the fact is they are real and need the attention of us "the masses". Living in fear is less effective than living in freedom, but if you are living in denial as you are, you won't accomplish anything.

The entire music industry and media is controlled by "Zionist Jews" who promote Satanism in our society to weaken us so that they can remain in power and grow. Whether it's Madonna dressing as baphomet during the super bowl, Rap music promoting gang violence, or teen music promoting adultery, evil is always the goal. If any of you doubters would dig deeper than the surface level on any "conspiracy issue", you would see that all of your forum opponents are right, and that is exactly what keeps you from looking any further.

Well there's no Zionist Jews around me when I'm playing guitar with my band enjoying life. Playing minor 3rds and whatnot. Think about what is praiseworthy and don't waste your time on fantasy.

Is someone seriously suggesting that all music is satanic? If that's the case then the Bible is satanic too.

I believe the Nashville number system was designed to accommodate the many session players who can't read music. They simply can indicate key and then the corresponding sequence of chords that make up the song based on the number. For example, if the song is in A and the cords are A D E, it would be 1 4 5 in the Nashville number system. Hardly demonic. Super convenient and universal for the many session players who don't read standard music notation.
