I'm going to tell you a story about P.O.D. I was living in Seattle around 2007 or 2008. I picked up this very cute hooker working on Pacific Highway South around 240th street. We went back to my hotel. She was 20 years old, and very cute. Let's forget about my history and my struggles for a moment because I don't feel like getting into it. To make a long story short, I asked her what the most money she ever made in one night was. She said this band in Las Vegas picked up her and another girl, and they split $60,000 when the left in the morning. She said they had a safe in the room with stacks of money in it. I asked her what the name of the band was, and she said, "Some band named POD".

I said, "P.O.D., they're suppossed to be a Christian band".

She said, "Well we never heard of them, but we were just lucky".

I then asked her what she did with the $30,000, and she said she bought a car with it, but that she had to get it changed into a check first because people would be suspicious of how she got the money if she didn't. She knew some people in Las Vegas that could do that for her.

Wow! That is either an illusion or this story just gave me a even more burning passion against Christianity.

There's occultism in their album covers, and rastafarianism in their music.

Album covers are art. It doesn't matter what is really on it unless sex related etc. A Christian band can have Illuminati stuff on their album, but I am pretty postive their is meaning behind it, just like most albums. Except pop, rap, mainstream and the band Weezer (lol)

Yes it does matter, if it's obvious occultism.

And to use imagery to stay back from certain music is ridiculous.

No it's not. Music has strong spiritual influence and could be sinful, so one isn't to listen to any music.

The cover of P.O.D.s platinum selling album The Fundamental Elements of Southtown is covered with occult symbols. Notice the man sitting in the occult "lotus" position. The occult initiate believes the "lotus" position connects to the spiritual transcendence of oneness with god. Harpers' Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience writes of the "lotus" position: "The most common sitting posture used in yoga and other forms of meditation. The position facilitates the flow of the universal life force through the top of the head and into the chakras." (Harpers' Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience, p. 332)

P.O.D. clearly understand the spiritual significance of the lotus position, as the man is levitating on a cloud. Of course, the practice of levitation is a well known occult practice. Harpers' Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience writes, "Levitations are said to occur in mediumship, shamanistic trance, mystical rapture and trance, magic, bewitchment, hauntings, and possession." (Harpers' Encyclopedia of Mystical & Paranormal Experience, p. 327)

The Dictionary of Cults, Sects, Religions and the Occult, classifies "levitation" as "occult; spiritualism and voodoo" (Mather, George A. and Larry Nichols, The Dictionary of Cults, Sects, Religions and the Occult, p. 175)

There are many other occult images on the cover of The Fundamental Elements of Southtown album. In fact, because of the blatant occult influences covering The Fundamental Elements of Southtown album, many Christian bookstores totally banned the album.

Yes "could be." However, its not to me.

So yoga is of the devil now? I don't care if hes standing upside down on his head. Christians would say its a drunk man then.

I am sure they do. Many bands don't just go out, make an album and have no meaning behind it what so ever.

The Dictionary of Cults, Sects, Religions and the Occult, classifies "levitation" as "occult; spiritualism and voodoo" (Mather, George A. and Larry Nichols, The Dictionary of Cults, Sects, Religions and the Occult, p. 175)
Wait voodoo and spiritualism? So Christianity is an Occult also.

That was my first P.O.D album. I loved it! Judging the band because the album art is of occultism isn't wise. Then again, if your not a musician than don't worry about it. Plus, Christian stores will ban anything that is "sinful," yet they sell Zao albums (when they became a satanic band) So the joke is on them. My opinion is that Christians hate on P.O.D because they are close with the band Korn.


Ok this site is opinion based mixed with facts. You should watch the move, "Metal, A Headbangers Journey," where a metalhead finds out why metal is hated, the "religious symbols of Satan" etc.

Yoga is of the devil, yes. It's from hinduism. It's obvious occultism on the album cover.

Christianity is not spiritualism or voodoo.

I don't need to be a musician to recognize occultism.

Christianity is derived from Judaism and Paganism. Comment?



Christianity is not spiritualism or voodoo.


According to the Webster Dictionary on Spiritualism:


1: the view that spirit is a prime element of reality

2
a : a belief that spirits of the dead communicate with the living usually through a medium
b capitalized : a movement comprising religious organizations emphasizing spiritualism


I don't see how spiritualism is not the prime of Christianity? We can communicate with the Holy Spirit or vice versa right?

Of course not, but that wasn't my point.


I have made a thread: "A biblical approach to secular music": http://www.christianforums.com/t7722818/

Oh boy, to religious. Thank you though for researching and putting down your approach on secular music. Certainly conveyed your point. However, I had one objection which I posted on your thread.

Not from paganism. Why do you think that?

"Communicating with the dead" is a Sin. Spiritualism has occult practices - astral projection etc.

Why do Christians celebrate Easter? That is a pagan holiday. An Easter Bunny hatching eggs? Yeah, of course that is not what it is all "about." Honestly though, how did a pagan ritual become a Christian holiday? Thats just one of the many evidences that proves that Christianity was derived from.

Prove it before you use the holy word "sin." That was one of the definitions, but not the only one. It also said it was:

1: the view that spirit is a prime element of reality

Isn't the Holy Spirit suppose to be apart of are lives, making that are reality?

Well just because some christians celebrate easter - if you refer to painting eggs etc - which is definetly pagan. It doesn't mean that Passover is pagan - which has been replaced with easter it seems.

The Apostles, and really early church fathers didn't celebrate pagan holidays like easter.

Wasn't it the Roman Catholics who came up with those pagan holidays and "christianized" them?

Just because spiritualists use that definition of their religion or whatever, doesn't mean christianity is spiritualism.

Deut 18:11 is proof that consulting the dead is sinful.

I believe the later-day Saints or the Crusaders came up with the idea to combine this holiday with the Christian life.

The Catholics in general are corrupted, sad to say. When someone says what is your faith, you say Catholic, not Christian. However, Christianity is slowly becoming the same thing. Don't you agree? DO you believe in Christianity or G-d?

I am not saying communicating with the dead is not sinful. I am saying it is better to be spiritual than religious. The Christian meaning of "Spiritual" is relying on the Holy Spirit.

Many people say they believe in God, but don't follow Jesus. Could be mere dead religion, yes. In fact, even the demons believe, and tremble (Jam 2:19). I'm a follower of Jesus. I'd rather call myself that, rather than Christian, because it makes people ask questions, and it sounds more serious/radical or so. There are those that are Christian by name only.

Yes indeed. The word "Christian," was used by the city of Antioch, which they called the Disciples. So saying your a disciple of Yeshua is more appropriate, at least to me.

hes a liar, or she was. No one is gonna pay 60k for 2 hookers. Thats the stupidest thing I have ever heard. Plus there rock stars, why would they buy hookers, its obvious that their manager would be arranging anything like that. I cant believe you guys have trolls like this on these forums. Dont you have moderators?

I have seen POD at a very small show. At the time I questioned their true intentions. But me and about 200 other people prayed with them, and he seemed to be spirit filled to me.

their new song is pretty good!

This thread is hilarious.

I knew P.O.D. back in the late 90's when "Brown" first came out and their drummer sends his kid to the elementary school where my mom works. Cool guys, one and all.

About all the occult stuff and hookers. Who cares? Magic isn't real, Yoga is stretching with woo mixed in, prostitution should be legal and none of our business, album covers are just art, and none of these things are probably true anyway. Get hobbies.

Hey brother Endzone. I was reading your story about how you feel like you lost Gods presence. Im in the same boat as you my friend. But I have an encouraging message for you. Please watch the videos from Michael Chriswell on youtube. Ill share one of his videos with you, I hope this brings you encouragement.
