Well, that's basically how it went down. I did use some poetic license there, but I'm not really exaggerating much at all. You can always click the link at the top of this post to read what took place.mujer loca said:
christian rock music is putrid. it should be destroyed if you have any. christian rock is not music it is filth/.¿A porque no te gusta la musica de rock?mujer muy loca said:Well, ok, there are a number of reasons. I can't give you a really technicall reason musically other than to say that the beat is symphatic or something like that which means it goes counter to our heart beat and as a result it causes heart problems by afffecting the beat of our hearts, if listened to for long periods of times.
2. It inspires feelings in us that are not edifing such as pride, or lust, or murder, or hatred, etc.
3. Plants exposed to rock music continually die. plants exposed to soothing music live and prosper.
4. The rock beat comes from african tribal demon worship. and it is the music of satan. Any african tribal worshiper of demons knows and recognises the rock beat as being his God's music.
5. The people associated with Rock music are evil looking, long haired men, tatooes all over thier bodies, drug takers, they commit suicide, like james morrison, the whole rock music culture is highly anit christian in scope.
6. Rock music in the church polutes the church and causes it to have less power with god, the more one brings into the church from the world the more a church looses power with God. Take for example, one that we can all agree on with, drinking alcohol in church.
7. The church up until the mid 70s was vehemently opposed to rock music and christians of that era regularly destroyed rock music they had when they got saved.
8. You can't understand what's being said most of the time in rock music anyway so the argument that the words are edifing is groundless.
9. Mostly young people, who don't have much experience with the Lord are pushing hard for rock music in the churchs.
10 Older people know better.
Well If I knew a lot about music i xcould give you some highly technical reasons, I've heard them but they were very technical and i didn't retain the info very well.
So I guess that's why. Probably other reasons I didn't remember. but thats a number of good ones above.Um.....OK. I guess that would explain why people are living longer these days. Their heatbeats are able to endure more from listening to too much U2 and Bob Marley.paraphrasing la mujer muy loca en post # 26 said:Bill Ward is Lucifer. Beck is a loser who wants someone to kill him, Joan Osbourne called God a slob and Africans are primitive people with satanic beats. When you buy rock music, you are buying satan and are introducing hell to America....but what about Christian rock music?mas de la mujer muy loca said:I think the really really really bad thing about christian rock is this. And I'm certain I have this by revelation from God. It's like when God reveals something to you you know that you know that you know. It becomes crytal clear and you just know. Anyone who has recieced revelation from God can relate to what I'm saying I'm sure. Ok so the bad thing is this. Christians who listen to christian rock music, and 95 percent of the people who listen to it are young christians, it is not listened to by the unsaved and as a result the argument that it draws people to Christ is false, christian rock draws converts from the church to rock music. Anyway back to my point , the reason christian rock is so damaging, the main impact it will have on chrisitans is that when they hear holy ghost annointed music from God, they will not be drawn to God's music, but will be drawn to the Devil's music (rock). It is God's music, his holy spirit annointed music that he gives to us that will defeat the enemy (satan). Satan's music (rock) will defeat you not the devil.Well, as Petra would say: to hell with the devil.
What am I saying, they don't want that! I think that's what you just said?la chica loca said:well consider this. Rock and Roll is an euphemism for fornication so what you are really saying when you say
Christian Rock is Christian fornixcation. And rock music doesn't draw converts to Christ, it draws christian converts to rock music. 95 percent of the people who listen to christian rock are christians.Breetai said:Ohhhh!
Livin' on a prayer.....
Opps, that's evil rock and roll...aka. fornication.
Sorry, I'm going back to listening to Stryper now...
DOH!
That music promotes fornification too. That darn evil Christian rock and roll! That Stryper is the devil's music!
I guess I'll just listen to some DC Talk and some Newsboys.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..................
That music is the devil's music too!
Hey, did you guys know that KISS stands for "knights in satan's service"? They aren't just mislead sinners in need of the gospel of Jesus, they are evil, evil men who can't be forgiven and are of the devil himself. PURE EVIL.
Oh no, that evil band of the devil U2 has just come on the radio.
I've gotta get going, listening to U2 makes me want to go and fornicate.
I'm not sure what drives people away from Christianity more; disbelief in the Bible or people with attitudes like this.
