Is there another kind of rap?VWPETE said:from the title i figured it was the worldly rap that you were talking about.
You seem smart enough, I'll let you figure that one outTheDandyMan said:Please specify further, since that is incredibly vague, and not much can be deducted from that.
Most of my Christian friends would never subject themselves with lack of grandjur such as "gun slinging" gangsta rap.Vernuda said:I do not see anything wrong with just listening to any kind of music it is your choice and we have no right to judge others because what they listen too

Music, itself, does not make a Christian song, The lyrics does.BeautyForAshes said:If you took a traditional church hymn such as Amazing Grace and changed the lyrics to ones of perversion, I would hope that no one would be okay with it, simply because the tone is that to a traditional church hymn?
It is not wrong to listen to rap, if you are speaking of the genre itself (i.e. the beats, tempo, etc.). What we are believers should be concerned about are the lyrics/message of the music we listen to, regardless if its rap, rock, pop, or whatever. The Bible tells us to that ", whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirableif anything is excellent or praiseworthythink about such things." (Phil 3:8) Music is only a vehicle for the message - not the message itself.
If someone gave you a $100 bill that was dirty, beat-up, and crumbled does that mean that it is not as valuable a brand new fresh from the mint $100 bill? Oh course not!The value hasn't changed, just the appearance.
Now apply to the discussion - the type of music can change (outward appearance), but the message does not (the value)!
I thought that was what I saidstaugustine68 said:Music, itself, does not make a Christian song, The lyrics does.
I'm sorry for the confusion. I was just agreeing with youBeautyForAshes said:I thought that was what I saidI was just pointing out that a certain type of music doesn't make it christian, but the lyrics.
I think whatever you put into your mind, you will get out. Just like whatever you put into your life, you'll get out of your life. It's the same principle. Music is impressionable, especially to vulnerability. I don't think anyone will go to hell because they listen to secular music, but I think by doing so, that person is making their spiritual life (following Christ) even more difficult.Gods_angel16 said:if youre a christian is wrong to listen to rap i just wanna know
