  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Over the weekend, Skillet’s rendition of “O Come, O Come Emmanuel” trended on X, rocketing into the No.1 spot on iTunes’ rock and Christmas charts. The track also broke into iTunes’ Top 5 in the all genre category.

“O Come, O Come Emmanuel” is the Christian rock band’s first ever Christmas song and has been viewed over 702,000 times on X. But not everyone is excited about song. In fact, some are even calling it “demonic” and something “the devil” would sound like if he “sang hymns.”

The award-winning band starts its rendition of the classic hymn like most would probably expect, with piano, melodic vocals, soft drum beats, and accompanying guitars. Then at the three-minute mark of the song, Skillet reminds their fans who is singing.

Continued below.

Well, I had to look it up and watch it and all I can say is that I liked it

I had to read your article. I remember back during the great "satanic Panic" how everything was supposedly "Satanic" Many people, especially clergy, made absolute fools of themselves with these accusations. Reading these comments, clearly their offspring is at work, carrying on the same mindless unimaginative "Oh this is Satanic" baloney that very few (fortunately) actually believe and for which none have any evidence at all.

I watched the music video a few nights ago and my Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, blessed me with that awesome rendition of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel."
