Christian bands?

[jaybird13]

How many "Christian bands" do you actually think are really christian?

 

[shmody]

46 of them.

 

[Macewindu77815]

I would say most are...

 

[Roo6339]

well if they weren't christian you'd think they would go to the secular music world... better chance of being known in that... so i'd say most are really christians.

I think that sometimes it is easier for bands to get into the music scene if they start out in the Christian arena and then cross over...it gets their name out. Most bands that cross over gradually lose their "Christian Vibe"

 

[Voice of Thunder]

I really don't like the way the industry labels it "christian." Look at Creed, U2, the Alarm, Larryn Hill, Bob Dylan, Destiny's Child, Evanescence, and some others. They may have "christians" in their outfit, but they don't want to be labeled holy. They may have been ridiculed by the church and other religious people and stayed away from the christian industry. It's a shame. People are still judging others and offending them.

lets judge other people that sounds fun. Only themselves and God know if they are Christian.

 

[Idicious]

The ones who really want to honor God with what they play, and you can see that live if that is the case. Which those are I don't know, but I know some which I've seen. It's like asking which satanic bands are really satanic or just for the image (which is just silly) You can see/feel that live.

To answer your question, I'd be judging people where it is not my place to judge.

Think about that.

I don't think it's neccesarily judging people. If we were judging people we would be saying things like they aren't Christian and they are doing the wrong thing. I don't think anyone ever said anything like that. I just know that I would prefer to listen to music that is glorifying God. But it's a well known fact that bands often "claim to be Christian BUT sometimes they do things that are definitly not "Christlike"

I understand what you mean, but that's not unique to musicians, unforunately. A lot of Christians exhibit behaviour that isn't necessarily Christlike. I only try to concern myself with my own behaviour and actions, and not focus on others. If a musician I listen to isn't necessarily glorifying God when they write their music, it doesn't really affect me, since the song takes on meaning within my own heart.

I think sometime we hold christian bands to a higher standard.
when they fall we judge them for it .As christian we must be more understanding and forgiving.Beside I enjoy listening to christian bands.

Well said...

 

[absolutely_lost_86]

i think most r christian. u can probly tell fromtheir lyrics tooo

 

[Mashley]

I think if their lyrics are very deep and they talk about God and acknowledge what God is doing in their lives, then they are more than likely Christians. Some Christian bands seem a little shallow, but I'm not the judge. I don't really know the people, so I don't know.

 

[PhantomTorment]

Most are
