Grammar and Spelling Mistakes

Really? Well then riddle me this:

Do you actually believe that those who avidly (more properly "worshipfully" IMO) listen to "Dire Straits", "Eric Clapton", "Moody Blues", "Bob Dylan" etc. would EVER care (or even dare) to audition anything Augustus Toplady produced? How about these rock band members themselves? Oh yes lets include YOU on this list.

I think not. In fact I think that if they DID, they would suffer the offense and persecution of the Cross. Which to them is anathema. Suffering for Christ's sake and bearing their cross that is.

Another couple of points:
Is Augustus Toplady saved? Are these rock band members saved?
Who is the theme of everything Augustus Toplady ever wrote and Who is he glorifying? (hint: Almighty God).
Who is the theme of everything these rock bands ever wrote and who are they glorifying? (hint: fallen men, the fallen world and its fallen ruler).
What type of songs are sung in the Bible, both OT and NT? Are there any other kinds whatsoever recorded to have been sung?

You see, beyond and despite all accommodation and excuses, yearning for and exulting in the worldly music issuing from contemporary "rock and roll" bands is nothing more than keeping on foot in the world and the other ostensibly in heaven.

Exo 20:3
Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

Jesus is not even abiding within the present day modern Laodicean Church. Why so?

Rev 3:19
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
Rev 3:20
Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: 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.

I never knew I was an idolater of secular music, either.

During the summers and parts of early winters of '69 through 72 I was
granted to share the Word in the Rocky Mountains above Boulder, Colo.
The so/called Jesus freak revolution was in full swing all the time I was there.
On one of the occasions I was making the rounds with the local ranger
up near Brainard lake, where an open air rock concert was to be held. When we
arrived there, the ranger continued on his business, and I went on into the fray
to share the Word with many very eager-to-hear learners. Walking there I did
espy several of the folks running around stark naked in the nearby forest, not
surprising. Ignoring them I continued led by the Spirit to open my moutn and speak.
When this occurred, I too learned, and it was holy and wonderful, not the entire crowd but
the Lord was ther with us. Be in the world but not of the world. Our Father will take what is
not to bring down what is........He always does. Praise God, He is worthy, not we.

The love and non-judgmentalism is overwhelming. I didn't realize before that my salvation hinged on the kind of music I listened to. I never knew I was an idolater of secular music, either. It's true that when I listen to a Moody Blues love song, it is akin to sacrificing my infant child on the altar of Molech.

In all seriousness, you are devoid of love, grace, and you judge nonsensically. You accuse others of things they're not guilty of, and pat yourself on the back for not being like these sinners. Your arrogance and self-righteousness beam throughout your posts here.

But, I waste my breath. Well, typing. Pride like yours is not easily cut through by mere human hands. Moving along.... I suggest you do the same.

Sounds like he has made an idol of what's his name Toplady. Some people just love to revel in their error.


I can see what you're looking to find
In the smile on my face
In my peace of mind
In my state of grace
I send what I can
To the man from the ministry
He's a part of heaven's plan
And he talks to me
Now I send what I can to the man
With the diamond ring
He's a part of heaven's plan
And he sure can sing
Now it's all I can afford
But the Lord has sent me eternity
It's to save the little children
In a poor country
I got my ticket to heaven
And everlasting life
I got a ride all the way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
And everlasting life
All the way to paradise
Now there's nothing left for luxuries
Nothing left to pay my heating bill
But the good Lord will provide
I know he will
So send what you can
To the man with the diamond ring
They're tuning in across the land
To hear him sing
I got my ticket to heaven
And everlasting life
Got a ride all the way to paradise
I got my ticket to heaven
And everlasting life
All the way to paradise

Well congratulations on your well-founded epiphany!

In Indonesia, English is known as a language with the most complicated grammar ever
(i mean what other languages have 16 tenses in it?!)

therefore i decided to create a thread where you HAVE TO speak with wrong grammar lol

i know this doesn't make sense, but i thought that it would be interesting

Oh. So you were convicted, preached to yourself about your own addiction to video games problem, repented of it (I guess sort of), then curtailed that behavior which you yourself judged as being un-Christian.

But you refuse to preach the same way about the same thing to others?

And then blast me for calling out what is for all intents and purposes un-Christian rock music?

Mmmmkay. Whatever buddy.

So you shouldn't go around preaching it for other people.

I guess moving on went over your head. So, I'll do it for both of us. Time to stop wasting any more typing on someone who pats himself on his own back for his superior righteousness, and is thoroughly unable to temper his pride with even a modicum of grace.

Not only should I, the fact is that I am Biblically compelled to do so.

Why would I not warn people that the local well has been poisoned?
A well that I myself drank from and which caused me so much sorrow and harm?

So... Like... I get the impression you are pointedly missing the point so you can keep ranting against something you personally have trouble with.

Wrong again. It was force fed to me like an Abu Ghraib inmate. And to all the rest of the teeny bopper kids back then AND TODAY!
With the rare exception of Christian kids who had extremely diligent Christian parents.

I feel as much affinity for consuming secular Hells Bells music as I do for consuming stinking garbage shouldering in Valley of Hinnom.

Got it. You have a Holy Warrior complex. Nothing more can be done here. Moving on.

I was going to reply and say:

"OK. So what does that then make of you? An unholy pushover?"

But on second thought I considered it more prudent to refrain. Glad that I did. Or did not. Whatever.

I spent some time in Colorado many years ago, and climbed one of the Flatirons, too! .

I don't think I could do that. There were "Flat Iron" rock concerts too..............Talk aabout sticking to the theme, lol.
