Don't know about Dylan, but Thomas A. Dorsey, who wrote Take My Hand, Precious Lord, was ashamed of some of the secular songs he wrote that had brought him fame and money.He devoted a lot of music to his Christian faith. I wouldn't call it "vague". Maybe he was scared by what he had done previously.
There's something important that you must know: Black ministers criticized Blues and Jazz because of suggestive lyrics and lyrics that celebrated violence. Thomas A. Dorsey wrote a popular and suggestive song before turning to Christ, the title I can't recall and which he was ashamed of as writing,One of the problems I have with this rhetoric is that the origins of this way of talking goes back to Blues and Jazz, because of the "African" influences.
The CME church somewhat close to us would have choir practice, and if conditions were right, you could hear it all across the farm. Beautiful singing.Er, I attend a 99% black Church and I'm white. I LOVE the worship music - it would never occur to me to foist 'my' music onto 'them'. WE, my brothers and sisters in Christ, joyously celebrate our Savior as one body.
I agree.There's a satanic element in most anything that's worldly.
I would beg to differ. Considering rock of itself ain't black music.To put that into more clear terms: It was about black people being bad and therefore "black music" bad, whereas white people good and therefore "white music" good.
It's rooted in blatant racism.
Well, Jesus says whoever is not for Him is against him . . . and therefore is Satanic, I would understand. So, even the nice acting person who says he or she is fine without Jesus is against Jesus . . . helping people to go to hell because of helping people to think they can live well without Jesus. That can be very conceited, to feel someone is too smart and too good for Jesus, or to judge Jesus as being not good enough for the person!! But Jesus is not conceited, feeling He is too good for us, though He is so superior.There's a huge element of Satanic influence in rock music. If you actually read the lyrics to many songs, you can almost hear the devil speaking.
Anything that promotes sinful behavior is satanic. It doesn’t have to promote satan worshipping in order to be considered satanic.lol, no there isn’t. There is a very small niche of black metal that actually kind of satanic, and there were a bunch of bands in the 70’s and 80’s who used occultist imagery because they thought it looked cool. That’s it.
If that's your standard, then so many things are "satanic" that the term is basically meaningless.Anything that promotes sinful behavior is satanic. It doesn’t have to promote satan worshipping in order to be considered satanic.
It’s not my standard it’s just the definition of the word my friend.If that's your standard, then so many things are "satanic" that the term is basically meaningless.
Good point!Well, Jesus says whoever is not for Him is against him . . . and therefore is Satanic, I would understand.

So, conceit is Satanic. And if music is helping to keep attention away from God . . . yes, it is Satanic, whether or not it has some sort of direct mention of Satan or not. And there is a lot else which likewise is designed in culture to keep people's attention away from God.
