Listen friends, in 1 John 2:15 it says, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Therefore, we are in error when we think we can bring the world into the church through secular music. Blessed are those who read this and learn from it.

Why are Christian Rap, christian Rock, and other unholy musics ungodly and they take to destruction?

"But I have a few things against thee, because thou hast there them that hold the doctrine of Balaam, who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication." -Revelation 2:14
Whom does this genres belong to? Satan has successfully infiltrated many churches today, most in fact. All across the world, especially in America, churches today are saturated with ignorance, demonic music, and doctrines of devils. You didn't find any false teaching until today? And you have been just living thinking that false teachings are not here yet? Ahh no please! There's a spirit of deception that even the elect ones may not discern easily. I am not speaking this to condemn, but I speak to you with Love. I am not trying to be self-righteous.
1. There's no way we can mix the things of the word with the things of God. The style of the world belongs to the world and not christians. read, ..2 Corinthians 6:14 - "Do not be bound together with unbelievers; for what partnership have righteousness and lawlessness, or what fellowship has light with darkness? 15Or what harmony has Christ with Belial, or what has a believer in common with an unbeliever?…". No rap, no rock and metal was in the church at first. David correctly pointed out how we should praise God and sing to him.

I dare you to go to ANY so-called "Christian" rocker or rapper's website and show me the simple plan of salvation, the Gospel of Jesus Christ. You cannot! The reason is because they are of the world, and the world follows them. James 4:4 plainly teaches that to be "a friend" of the world is to become God's enemy. Satan has invested much time in making Christians conform to the world, even in music that encites the spirit of emotionalism instead of the peace of God.

People are thinking that it doesn't matter and they're deceiving themselves and God is not happy with such kinds of musics because he has given us his own way of praising him. There are things that belong to light and that belong to darkness. The same way Rap and rock doesn't belong to the Church because it represents the evil world. You can't make hip hop holy!

2. It is the representation of the evil world. Remember, rap is the one of the best genres in the music industry and Christians got deceived to bring rap into the house of God when they felt that it's good and pleasing to the ear and the devil is trying his best to deceive the Children of God in a way no one can understand. The secular music singers belong to the devil and so does their music genre and style. That is why we do not see them using our worship and singing style, it doesn't work for them. It's never right to do wrong in order to get a chance to do right. It is wrong to use demonic music to draw worldly youths into church. If they come because of Jesus they'll live because of Jesus but do not even think of bringing the youth to the Church because of the music style and lies of prosperity. Jesus is better than all of those things!

Listen friends, in 1 John 2:15 it says, "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him." Therefore, we are in error when we think we can bring the world into the church through secular music.
There are many false spirits gone out into the world. They are the Anti-Christ. Any thing that takes attention away from God and places it on anything but God does not come from the Father.

There are limited people who defend this fact and you can call us religious but this is not religiousness. How is discerning deceptions religiousness? That's wrong!
And if you say Jesus wants us to live in freedom, this is not freedom. This is being yoked with the things of the world anyways. I know many people who say freedom and do whatever they want even ministers who secretly do ungodly things. Then what is did Christ die for them? It was to separate them from every sin and that freedom is not a freedom to sin but a freedom to conquer the sin that holds us!
Thanks and stay blessed!
 
Well then, there should be NO music in the church! Because all music, SECULAR AND NON SECULAR sound the same; the only different's is the words. So its not just rock and rap that is Satan, it is ALL music!
If this were so, then what do you say to the MANY people who's lives have been touched and DRAMATICALIY changed by that kind of Christian music? I am ONE OF THOSE! So I am going to hell then because I was saved by what you call satanic music, right?
 
"SECULAR AND NON SECULAR sound the same"

I disagree.

You say the only difference is the words. Yet words do make ALL the difference and not just in music.
 
God will use ANYTHING WAY POSSIBLE to grab our hearts! Who are we to say what is satanic and what is not when it comes to music? When we do that, we put God in a box!!! God is much bigger and much more powerful than that!!!

What kind of 'CHRISTIAN' music are you listening to? Because the only kind I listen to Has God and Christ ALL OVER IT; the story of what and HOW He did what He did for all of us! It is NOT about the MUSIC; IT IS ABOUT THE WORDS!!!
 
Do not argue with one another over this issue. What God says is the final say and ask God to direct you. Ideas don't get us no where.

Love Jesus not the rap.

God uses Jesus to grab our hearts. That is your opinion not the scripture. Stop right there and take a minute to read John 14:6. "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.". Through Jesus God is going to access us. Worship is not the music. Worship is in spirit and truth. The music is only praise. Let me show you something, Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. 1. You use your breathe to praise God. Psalm 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 2. We praise God with timbrels/drums, dances and stringed instruments such as Grand Piano, guitar keyboard and so on. That is what we call praise. But you think you have to focus on music to worship God, that's wrong. So, if you are really in the spirit and are in truth, the spirit himself has to lead you to the truth. not me! You want to ask me, then ask me. But we should not fight because I'm also your brother in Christ.

Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the light." As I told you. Any way possible? Jesus is the possible one and only way through whom we can access God. Not the rap! That is why we should not mix praise and worship. Plus, you're in love with rap. That is even a sin! Where will you go with the things you love? Rap will perish and want you to? No way. This is why paul is against the love of money. money perishes and those who love money have to perish with money. There is no music we have to love. We just love praising God with sweet musics as described by david. That's a revelation to david and you can also have the same revelation. You may not understand because it's difficult to differentiate the Church of deception and the Church with the real presence of God. Let you pray for any veil to be uncovered. So that you can discern everything easily.
 
There are heavenly Praises and what if we start to practice those heavenly praises thinking we are going to leave for an eternal heaven. Christian Rap is worldly, Rock, metal, harlmen shake they can never be heavenly because they are unholy and they are unholy because these genres are sacrificed for the devil/the darkness weather you know it or not and taking their genre into our church means having fellowship with them, indirectly. And those of you practicing worldly songs, they are not Gods will for you to do.

I love you all!
 
"who does these genres belong to?"

the earth is the LORD's and everything in it
 
Somehow i think Sandi Patti accompanied by a harp and a flute would not do this justice, yet we know it is a song:

Psalm 94:1-7 --

"The Lord is a God who avenges.
O God who avenges, shine forth.
Rise up, Judge of the earth;
pay back to the proud what they deserve.
How long, Lord, will the wicked,
how long will the wicked be jubilant?

They pour out arrogant words;
all the evildoers are full of boasting.
They crush your people, Lord;
they oppress your inheritance.
They slay the widow and the foreigner;
they murder the fatherless.
They say, “The Lord does not see;
the God of Jacob takes no notice.”

Why need to argue? God rejected a sacrifice from Cain and accepted from Abel. Does not the sacrifice belong to God? And don't you know witches sacrifice the same food daniel denied to eat?
I don't want to debate with you because you're my brother in Christ. It's a sharing of knowledge. Right?
 
Here is a thought for you the tune for "Amazing Grace" is thought have come from a Scottish drinking song. The tune of What Child is This Came" from "Greensleeves." If God can use Balaam to speak blessing to the Israelites, he speak through any medium he likes. I do not disagree the music can be dumbed down from time to time; however, their are some secular artists that are more anointed then any you find in a church. It is unfortunate that many turn to the world and its destruction, but that does not mean God has completely abandoned a genres of music because of it. That's like saying God has abandoned preacher's sermons because of all the self gurus and their motivation speeches and conventions. Praise and worship music can be worldly too! Final though [h=3]Psalm 150[/h]New King James Version (NKJV)

[h=3]Let All Things Praise the Lord[/h]150 Praise the Lord!

Praise God in His sanctuary;
Praise Him in His mighty firmament!

[SUP]2 [/SUP]Praise Him for His mighty acts;
Praise Him according to His excellent greatness!

[SUP]3 [/SUP]Praise Him with the sound of the trumpet;
Praise Him with the lute and harp!
[SUP]4 [/SUP]Praise Him with the timbrel and dance;
Praise Him with stringed instruments and flutes!
[SUP]5 [/SUP]Praise Him with loud cymbals;
Praise Him with clashing cymbals!

[SUP]6 [/SUP]Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.

Praise the Lord!

God Bless you and ROCK ON!
 
Don't worry Brother we love you too! We can all can agree with the word's of Paul in Colossians 3:
[SUP]14 [/SUP]But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. [SUP]15 [/SUP]And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. [SUP]16 [/SUP]Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. [SUP]17 [/SUP]And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him.

We may disagree on the form of the song, but we all seek to "do in word or deed" all things unto Lord. God Bless and may you encourage other's with your Spiritual hymns and Songs.

The devil is a rapper and do you think it's difficult for him to sing christian songs? He can act like he's the best preacher. No one could even realize that without the light of God. Remember, the bible says a false prophet will enter the Church!
 
Different kinds of music, if you discount the words, bring out different thoughts and feelings in us. Rock was started in a community to bring out the sexual in people. It appeals to the physical, not the spiritual.

The older generation was a lot more sexual than the new generation because we didn't live in a world where it was thrown in our faces all the time. We didn't develop an immunity to sexual provocation. We understood sex in a more biblical way, it had a much deeper meaning, so the pounding beating of this music is making fun of something that is sacred to us.

To my Grandson, what appeals to the spirit of Christ in me is to him dull, do nothing about Christ sort of a message. To him, the physical message of get up and move means to do something about your love of the Lord.
