• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

You are most likely going to get a slew of posts that point out that all rock music, regardless of the genre (soft, pop, hard) is evil, simply because the accent is not on the first beat. Never understood that thinking, most likely never will. I am not, and most likely never will be a fan of most hard rock, but to be honest, my daughter has me listening to Switchfoot, and yes, I like the song "Meant To Live."

And even the words could be interpreted wrong...;) but I agree with you on this one!

No, it is most definitely not. What would make it evil?

Praise Him with a clash of cymbals,
Praise Him with loud clanging cymbals.

--Psalm 150:5
In verse 4, it says Praise Him with stringed instruments, which, among many things, can mean the guitar.

Amen! But I have used these verses before in a Yahoo Christian music discussion group, and the reply you get is that this is Old Testament and does not apply to the Christian church. No matter that nowhere is there anything said that they no longer praised using these instruments; no matter that almost every person who opposes these instruments in modern worship have no probem using the "worldly" organ in services.

What it boils down to is what you are comfortable with. If one is not comfortable using instruments other than piano and organ, fine! Do not use them. On the other hand, if you feel they glorify the Lord-use them!

If you're interested... I give an example in this thread:

http://christianforums.com/t734523

of how you can make any style of music "evil". On page one, my second post is an example of how to make Classical music "evil" using the same criteria the anti-CCM folks do...

Remember, it's satire... hopefully it will reveal the folly in much of the anti-music-style arguments. If you've read any anti-CCM sites, you'll recognize the pattern! ;)
