I can be a witness because of my own experience that metal music is the door for reckless and out of control behavior. When I used to get high, or drunk, (ashamedly I did these things but I am a new creation now and that person no longer exists), I used to drive back roads in the country and blast metal music.

brother, when i was a teen, my 'friends' and i did the same thing blasting Mozart. no lie.

it wasn't the music, it was the sin in our heart.

When I used to get high, or drunk, (ashamedly I did these things but I am a new creation now and that person no longer exists), I used to drive back roads in the country and blast metal music. This kind of music brought out in me only rage and feelings of hate, depression, etc. When I would hear my father who is a Christian play praise music it bothered me, because I knew I wasn't right and under conviction. When I got saved, I tried to play Christian rock music, but the Spirit of God showed me it wasn't pleasing to God. Even though the lyrics were more towards Christianity, the sound of the instruments was the same ugly sound I heard from the worldly bands. We have bands such as P.O.D., who say they are christian, but yet they play their music at hellfest. Hellfest is nothing but a bunch of demons with instruments and a mic. They aren't playing to witness, as they say, they are playing because they love to mingle with this filthy world like so many other luke warm Christians today.

Also, I did listen to "christian" heavy metal music when I was in the world. When I was around my friends, with the drugs and the lies, I would listen to it and it would not bother me, or them. But would I ever listen to melodic praise? Nope. Because that bothered me. That alone should tell people something. Yet if we want to get real about, which is what I am about, people who listen to "christian metal" have no spiritual discernment. They can try to justify all they want about it being ok, but it never will be. Strong meat is for those who by practice have learned to discern good from evil.

But this is the normal way of thinking when we dont agree with something. I don't like it so I condemn anyone who does.

Melodic music can also be satanic. I could list a whole lot of them. Yes it was sin in the heart, but sin is attracted to certain things. Heavy metal music is one of them.

That don't make it right, does it? Why condemn someone for listening to a certain genre of music, based simply on the fact that YOU don't like it? That's a pretty pathetic excuse to condemn someone, IMO.. What if I condemned YOU for eating bacon, for example? You'd quote me scripture that proves it's ok even if I gave you proof it wasn't.. I think it's the content of the LYRICS that make a song good or bad, NOT the beat or rhythm of it.

this cuts both ways -- it's just as wrong to say the foolishness of FF5 is gospel music as it is to say the spiritual praise of HB is wickedness.

(some of you are going to have to look those bands up, sorry!)

No no no I was agreeing with you lol

I am saying that that type of thinking has become the norm. We immediately judge someone for a certain thing that we might not like even if it is for example heavy metal with a Christian doctrine just because we don't like the music.

Like you said God is the judge not us.

Alright, so...
I don't really have an opinion about Christian metal,
but I sorta want to PRETEND like I do,
because everyone seems so upset about it,
and...
it's kinda making me laugh.

: )

As soon as I have time I'll try to pick a side and say something really horrible.

Honestly, I really have no idea what Christian Metal is...
something to do with steel reinforced Bibles or something?
I'm close right?

If you want to listen to garbage, have at it. I could care less man. As for me, I am going to serve the Lord in purity and in truth. Laugh all you want. It makes no difference to me.

There's really no need to bash any heavy metal. Anything that approximates the sounds of a garbage truck breaking down already has an inherent bashing quality about it.

(Never knew there was Christian metal. Just goes to prove Jesus saves us from much.)
