    Demon Hunter - "The Triptych" covers

    Lame band photo. They just look dumb under that set of antlers. Should be "Reindeer Hunter" instead. If their new album is as lame as the last one, the album art will not matter. Hope the new one is better.

    Burlap to Cashmere

    ...they're still a band? I thought they were one of those "one hit wonders" 5 or 6 years ago. As I remember, they could play, but that was about it. That, plus it was released back then that several of the band members were not even Christians. Never was a fan...still not.

    Christian Rap

    Cross Movement, Grits, DJ Maj, Great stuff! Grits has done some pretty cool stuff lately, but Cross Movement is still the best, IMO.:thumbsup:

    Christian rap

    Agreed! Not the place or the time. Now, back to the subject. CROSS MOVEMENT, Da Truth, GRITS, DJ Maj. They are all really good. However, if you're into a lot of gangster rap with a lot of cussin', etc., these guys are way different. Still bring fresh sounding rhymes, etc, but without the...

    What is god?

    steve_kyle - You describe god as a good deed doer. Yet there are often misdeeds to good people and believers (it rains on the just and unjust Matthew 5:45). Do you disagree that god has no power other than that used through your own actions? It seems almost wrong to try and understand god...

    What is god?

    Hey, I can tell you that He exists, because I see Him working in my life every day. Yes, I believe I have been around some true miracles, but I am talking about regular everday stuff. God has provided for my family in so many ways. Financially, He has blessed us with a great house, 2 nice...

    Prove to me that there was a great apostasy

    We must be careful to note that Mormonism is not a "Christian" religion. In his earliest statements, Joseph Smith talked about Mormonism being the only way to God, because all other Christian religions were in apostacy. Of course we can also point out that the book of Mormon has undergone...

    question for people who like secular music

    I agree that a lot of the "Christian" music out there really stinks. I also agree that the Christian music industry needs to be rebuilt. They try too hard to make bands fit into a "secular mold." For instance, trying to make Hawk Nelson into "clean" Blink 182 clones is just plain silly...

    The Truth Behind Hip Hop

    Wow, that was the most mature response I have ever seen on a board... Anyhoo, rock is what was being talked about. Any genre of music can have messages that clearly do not glorify God. Try and use some tact in this forum. It would be appreciated. And even though you have not taken those...

    Is television ruining our spiritual lives?

    I spend much less time on the net than I used to spend watching tv. Plus, I go to much more spiritually oriented websites than my tv has. To me, there is a BIG difference.

    The Truth Behind Hip Hop

    If you had actually read my post, you would have seen that I am not blaming the artists for a person's actions, it is an individuals decision on whether to act on a feeling or an idea. However, if a person is continually listening to music about graphic depictions of suicide (take your pick of...

    The Truth Behind Hip Hop

    Wow. I'm not sure why people feel the need to respond like that when anyone challenges secular music. Is all of it evil? No way. Is Beethoven's 5th evil? Nope. Music was created by God. So was life, sex, etc. However, when sin came into the world, all that God had created perfectly...

    Christian bands/singers singing secular music?

    Some serious thread hijacking going on here...

    The Official Eminem Appreciation Thread

    Is Eminem talented? Sure. However, his complete disregard for other people, and everyone except himself just makes him sound like a whining baby. With the endless tirade of cursing and sexual junk, he just does not cut it for me. I wish he WOULD retire.

    Is television ruining our spiritual lives?

    I agree. It sure would not hurt anyone! I'm going on about 50 or 60 days right now, and it has been awesome!
