i hope someday we stop worrying about other's spiritual life, and be more focused on our own and show love and grace to those that need God and to others that are in the faith.
i've seen that 12 stones are getting hype for that one bad they used in a good context. in my opinion, that is up to them what they are going to do. nothing i say is going to change a thing, and nothing that Christians are going to say is going to change a thing either. that is between them and God. plus, if we are all equal in the eyes of God, then why are we as Christians holding bands to a higher standard, when ourselves have the same responsibility as they do, to go out and make disciples. plus with the 12 stones issue, at least they said the exact word, instead of saying a substitute, which is the same thing. i get tired of people using substitute words so they don't fully use profanity. must make people's consciences feel better or something. as i grow a little older, i just don't understand things anymore, and sadly, i'm only 22, turning 23 in a few weeks.
as for the other bands, i think they are Christians, as well as 12 stones. and the whole issue of not wanting to just be only in the Chrisitian scene, i say, more power to them bands. at least they are actually making positive music for the people that actually need it, instead of only making music for the choir to say is good. just as long as they dont' use it to get into the music scene then i am in full support of Christians in a band with a secular label. it's the same thing as working at a job with your boss being a non-Christian. no difference in all reality. and for the only Christian scene bands, then i say more power to them too. they make worship music for Christians and them to praise God with, nothing wrong with that at all. i just think we have to realize that some people are good for certain scenes, and others are better in others. the difference is good.
