Is it sinful to listen to hard rock and heavy metal?

[SteelDisciple]

The question is, does it draw you closer to the Lord. Conviction will tell you!

Then it's great. Because Christian metal and hardcore absolutely draw me closer to Him. It gives me some fuel for my conviction by hearing others feel such strong conviction and determination to change the world.

Isn't stairway to heaven referencing Jacob's vision in the wilderness?

If it is, it's way off.

Lol.

Not in my opinion.

In my opinion, it's about people who think they can buy their way to heaven (with tithing, etc).

"There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold, and she's BUYING a stairway to heaven."

you know...one thing that really amazes me about many Christian metal and hardcore bands is that they are working in a very Anti-Christian enviroment. (kind of like going to work at an office...only the other employees hate your guts because of your beliefs)

And yet...despite that...they are the light there in that darkness...they're hearts are nothing like those other people. They are saved and it shows. I know there are some secular bands who despise Christian musicians...but others i've read about actually find it kind of awe-inspiring or give them a lot of respect because these are guys who are not afraid to speak the truth...worship God or you've chosen hell. And they speak this truth in a real hardcore anti-Christian arena...no matter what.

That is what a real Christian is...I wish more people were like that.

Exactly. The motive of the heart.
