So.... that's why we should make our own nice little clean Christian communities and home school our children, because that's what God really liked from us wasn't it? So I suppose if my neighbor is not of God, I'll move away from him/her.
Again, I am not encouraging watching the video, I don't know if she's a slave of the devil or not, but I am sure Bon Jovi or U2 songs are so Godly either, but I enjoy their music. I think there should be a point of balance, and God gave us enough intelligence to judge each on their own, and we all know things aren't either black or white.
I think this thing is given much more morbid relevance than it should.
You know that is the exact same thing I use to say before I became a Christian. I would say maybe these strick Christians should just buy a thousand acres and pen themselves in to be protected from the rest of the world. But how would you be a witness to these people. How would the light of Christ show if we weren't around the rest of the world.
There is a difference between coming into contact with the world and particiapating in the sins of the world.
I don't listen to bon jovi and u2 and all that junk anymore. The Bible says that if we love the world and the things in it, the love of the Father is not in us. Bon Jovi talks about fornication and other sick sins like that. The Bible says to flee fornication and sexual immorality. How can you love these evil bands and still have the love of Christ. I'm not saying that my flesh dosen't still desire some of this stuff, but I enjoy listening to instrumental hymns and calm music. 7 months ago I was listening to metal and bands like queensrych, ratt, scorpians, and etc. Now I am not interested in that junk and desire the things of God.
I think people probably think that I have taken it to far. But I'm sure they thought the same thing about Paul when he was taken away to be beheaded.
People may say that I am in bondage and that I don't believe that I can do anything. But I will tell you that I can now read , enjoy, and understand the Bible, which is something as a non- believer, I was not able to do. I enjoy the things of God rather than the things of the world.
The Bible says to come out from among the things of the world and then The Lord will receive you. Is Lady Ga GA of the devil? Absolutely! with no doubt in my mind as well as many other rock, pop, metal, etc. artists. I know what that music did to my life, and I know the change that took place when I renounced it.
