I have listened to all three of those and don't care for any of them

I think I have stated earler how I felt about people that get annoyed (or whatever you would like to call it) by people that have an opposing view of somebody elses opinion, but I am willing to tell you again. Preacher is allowed to say whatever he wants to say, on that same note, other people are allowed to say whatever they want to about what the first person says.

He is entitled to his opinion. We are entitled to an opposing opinion.
Yes, well Preacher states his uneasiness with the catholic church as a result of many doctrines that the church has that does not align with scripture. Telling someone to get a life is just a lame attack.

Was that article a joke..... If it wasn't it's probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever read. It's articles like that, that make Chrisitians look like judgemental *******s.
You mean they AREN'T acting that way in this very thread?

easy answer to the first post in this whole thread: Because there is. People have a right to waht they listen to. I dont want any fundie telling me i cant listen to music because it doesnt glorify God. secular music isnt bad. i like my free will. i choose to worship God in other ways than music.

No, I don't believe so.

I don't fellowship with Lutherans (at least, not outside this site), mainly because at the moment I have different beliefs in some areas. I'm not however saying that because they have different beliefs they don't receive salvation.

edit: We don't remove them from the church. We remove them from our congregation. Perhaps to ensure their false teaching doesn't influence us, rather than to judge them?

You all keep saying that. Yet none of you have produced any evidence as to why it should not be. The only thing I see is that some people don't think Christians should listen to what they consider "secular" music. None of you have to come to this board at all, there are plenty of other boards on this site. If you don't like this one then don't come to it.

I think that by saying secular music should not be allowed, then the jazz and blues should go too.

Its all jsut pure legalism. Secular music in enjoyment and entertain, it does't "tickle my flesh" and infact it sometimes sooths me spiritually. What the heck is the problem.

Does the thread offend you? If so, why are you not being tolerant to it? who says you have to visit it that thread? If you don't like it, just don't click on it! Why should others suffer when because a few people just want to be legalistic and make a scene about something they could very easily avoid and not be bothered by.

I see no harm in having a secular music forum.

Neither do i see the distinction that christian's should not listen to secular music.

What makes this music secular more so than "christian" music?

That you presume the one to have better intentions than the other?

I choose not to conform to the thought that simply because it's labeled christian by the rest of the world that it is good.

Just because music is labeled christian does not make it good nor edifying.

In actuality I find some christian music to work quite to the contrary.

By being mediocre in writing and composition it hinders me as a christian.

Is my god so mediocre that you would feel that offering up just any pop hit c.rap will suffice? Or that you can rely on certain accepted euphemisms or "christianese" catchphrases to carry your song along and let others infer what they will when the song is not in of itself saying what others proclaim it to say?

Would not god use and work through both the "secular" and "christian" musician?

Are not both forms capable of touching an individual in the same way?

I cannot understand this blind hatred toward musical genres or whatever broad inadequate descriptors.

I would be hestitant to say that everyone on a Christian label is good or just or christ-like and just as hestitant to speak of those who aren't negatively.

Most "christian" labels are owned by the bigger labels like Virgin and such anyway.

So i find it hard to imagine that some Christian artists existance is wholly genuine and for the edification of the church or to seek to save the lost or to just rock out.

which btw i don't see a problem with just wanting to have fun.

It seems to me that by and large some may forget when chastising individuals for listening to this and that music that they forgot that there is nothing wrong with fun.

Something else that's interesting to me is that there are a number of hymns based on old drinking songs.

and now im starting to ramble and be incoherent so i will stop . . .for now ^_^

PreacherFergy, I am with you all the way!!! Blazin4Christ agrees too. We had this controversy in the ChatBox. The secular music should not be in here and especially not in the "Christians Only" section!!! PM me if you want
WARNING! FUTURE SOCCER MOM!

ok ok im joking. but seriously (first time ive used this word) ROFL MY WAFFLES (hmm i dont think ill ever use it again) this is one of those things where i expect something to come up like "anything thats not christian is evil" christians and non-christians should be allowed to listen to what they want to and not be looked down upon for it.

Oh...I wasn't aware that you were the law and the be-all-end-all of discussions. :rolleyes:


xtxArchxAngelxtx can discuss whatever type of music he wants to because this is a sub-forum for SECULAR music. Maybe you missed that on your way into this thread (baffles me how you did). If you don't want to discuss secular music then don't click on the SECULAR sub-forum for music.
