OK...let's make the turn, Frenchy.
You have posted God's word...which addresses here the issues of self-control and the spirit-led life (though not a dissection of musical styles).
Now, using scripture, and good logic...show us in any of the worship service events that have been listed, how God is being disobeyed.
This is why along with the fact that music effects people to do certain thngs that the things you mention DO NOT!
I wrote..For the record this was my main reason for the thread...You are right I would NEVER tell someone what they can or cannot listen too either. I said that before according to Romans 14 in several posts.
BUT I do expect the CHURCH and the CHURCH YOUTH GROUP to hold to higher standards than what we had experenced in a few churches. playing music labled "Christian" but yet was FAR from it. Do a search on Rez Band (thats a group) and tell me if that crap and stuff like it is fit and edifying for a youth group that MY children are in. NO IT ISN"T and the pastor even agreed with us on the matter but didn't have the whatever to do anything about it.
This is my beef not what one listens to in his own home but what is played in the CHURCH and what is handed to my KIDS at their Christian school.
With so many seeker services churches springing up this is the TOOL they use to draw the unsaved kids in with, music that sounds just LIKE THEIRS.
see where the problem is and why it is so prevelant and taking off more and more?
SEEKER MOVEMENT!!!
Marilyn Manson is a godless pervert.
Toby Mac is also listed on this webpage.
Thus, Toby Mac is a pervert.
If you like anything Toby Mac has ever done, then...well...
The Eagles are a bunch of addicts.
They sang the Satanic anthem "Hotel California."
Rebecca St. James once stayed in a hotel in California.
Thus, Rebecca wants you to do drugs, and says so, backward, in her songs.
I didn't have to Standingfirminchrist did it for me and many more. guess you missed them. </font>[/QUOTE]No, I responded to what he said, but you implied that they sang songs condoning killing babies. In reality, what SFiC was referring to was an anti-abortion song that condemned the killing of babies and spoke against it.
So for you to bring this song up as an example of them singing songs that advocate killing babies is another in a seemingly endless example of dishonest statements on your part.
We're still waiting for you to show where REZ has sung any songs advocating or condoning the killing of babies, sung songs that "glorify evil" or where I have questioned Kathy Triccoli's salvation or said that the artists I've played with are not Christians.
Now Playing: Jimmy Cliff – “Wonderful World, Beautiful People”
Now Frenchy, you did question someone's salvation.
You admitted it later in the thread.
You have called myself and others "troublemakers."
I don't mind the dialogue, but you did go over the top a couple of times.
I'm ready to move on, but let's not deny fact. </font>[/QUOTE]I think Frenchy, and I, could use some brushing up on etiquette too, but the routine on BB seems to be this:
1.
Strike someone with a soft blow
2.
When they return fire with a round-house-right, fall down and play hurt to the sympathies of the crowd.
That's what sets me off.
You go into a DEBATE forum, and when DEBATING begins, people want to pretent they're hurt, poor babies, to distract from the facts of the discussion.
And because I haven't used a profusion of fluffy words and haven't repeatedly told everyone how much I "love" them, I'm told that I need to read Ephesians 4 or something.
Some of you have a soft, effeminate love, if indeed it's not a debating ploy.
Quit ye like men.
Stand up and say what you believe!
BTW to the moderator, I thought that picture of the witch was inappropriate.
Yes, it HURT my feelings.
:(

Crying
(I know some reading this won't get the sarcasm, so let me explain - I'm not really hurt and crying - I think that's childish)
Don't be too sure...the last year I am sure about is 1600. Those young hoodlums started sneaking in devil music during the first decade of the 17th Century, the way I understand it.
