Ok, name a style of music that didn't originate in secular roots. Many of the old hymns were bar songs with the words changed to have a spiritual message. What about people into sports? Sports is rooted in the secular, is it wrong for someone to be an athlete? Because there is an 'athlete culture' as well. Pretty much everything is going to be rooted in some secular culture. That's part of being 'in the world'. You can't completely escape the influence of secular culture. So sports, all art, all music, business, construction, anything, you name it, and it has secular roots, and a form of culture tied to it. That doesn't make it wrong to be an athlete, or artist, musician, businessman, or anything else. Old man is about sinful nature, not having a tendency towards certain types of culture.

Thanks, Ugly I am a worship leader who plays keyboards and drums. I bought an electric guitar a few weeks ago and am learning to play it. Some folks will probably say I'm possessed by that time.
This all makes me think of David's wife mocking the way he danced and celebrated before the Lord. We know how that turned out. We need to be very careful when we criticize how folks praise.

You basically just reiterated your last post.
So allow me to reiterated: Im just saying there's some who do and some who dont. If you dont, congradulations, but your not the only christian in the world. Your reason for dressing the way you do are not the same as all the sreamo christians' (or whatever you call them)..and how did this transform into an argument about clothes???

I think that no style of music is inherently worldly or Christian. For that matter, even a band of atheists can write a song that is beautiful and true, because even they were created in God's image, though they deny it. I've heard good songs by bands that were otherwise terrible, songs that I think are beautiful and pleasing to God, in themselves. Sometimes it's surprised me to learn what the rest of a band's songs were like, after hearing one beautiful song. Honestly, I would rather listen to a good song by a nonChristian band than a bad song by a Christian band. I also think that Christians should be held to higher standards of artistry than nonChristians -- no matter what genre or style of music they make -- because they know and try to glorify God.
I admire bands and musicians who can witness to everyone because they do not straitjacket themselves with the 'Christian' label, because they don't feel obligated to mention God explicitly in every song. Many bands have made this world better because they were brave and freed themselves to speak to everyone. I am a Christian, but much of my poetry and music does not mention God explicitly, but I consider it Christian because it speaks about reality truthfully and in a way that (I hope) is beautiful.

yeah you see...theres a difference between saying shut up and telling someone to be quiet(the same diff between telling someone that he looks like an a***** or to simply say he looks dumb), i can't imagine myself telling my mom to shut up , she would slap me haha and also what Jullianna said, we are supposed to be known for our love to each other, if we cant respect other christians, what image are we giving to the world? anyway, i was just pointing out that it does sound rude, not trying to start an argument or something .
God bless you
and also what Jullianna said, we are supposed to be known for our love to each other, if we cant respect other christians, what image are we giving to the world? anyway, i was just pointing out that it does sound rude, not trying to start an argument or something .God bless you
