Is Led Zeppelin a Christian Band?

[MarkSB]

People have been asking this question since the beginning of rock and roll. Its hard to say if they were bad. I do know that Michael Jackson was but the difference was, you knew it.....

^No applause, just throw money.

I like secular music as well as Christian rock. I don't listening to any of the demonic lyrics though.

I am a die hard Iron Maiden fan.... spent serious money on shirts, posters, concerts and such over the past several years..... They are much heavier and darker than zep I have 2 Maiden tattoos on me as well

Yes.

Yes, but are they truly living for God? Have they given all aspects of their lives to God? Do they fully respect God?

We could all do with giving over every area of our life to God.

I no longer listen to Led Zeppelin etc. But I still need to work on patience and seeking God's plan more.

This is one of those things that makes me question my faith. I claim to be a Christian, but I also listen to Led Zeppelin and I am especially fond of guitarist Jimmy Page. I consider his music to be beautiful.

Jimmy Page is/was involved in the black arts and magick. He owned an occult bookstore at one time. He bought and lived in the house which used to belong to Aleister Crowley. In their concert film "The Song Remains the Same"
he performs a gesture with a violin bow in the middle of one of his long guitar solos, a 4-part gesture which is supposed to summon the most evil one, the chief of all evil spirits without mentioning the name. He does this not once but twice in a row.

How do you reconcile this with being a Christian? (This question is pointed towards those who would say that it's okay to listen to anything you like.)

I think a better question is : SHOULD a real devoted genuine Christian whos been Born Anew .... be a Led Zepplin fan ?

L.Z. represents songs that are about the World and its philosophies, sexual immorality, hedonism, narcissism, and the like. Even the famous song 'Stairway to Heaven' is a mockery to the real Gospel of Christ that saves . I used to listen to L.Z. back when I was unsaved and still in the World....but why would I as a Christ lover follow the very things that Christ died for in their songs ?

I see it as a great divide for Christians who want to live for Christ .
