Fan report from the Mob Rules world tour of Black Sabbath. Dio reportedly performed a Satanic altar call, where he invited people from the audience to come down to the stage and receive Satan.
I've always been skeptical about this claim of Dio's to be a Satanist. Because a Satanist is not into following the crowd, they do their own thing.
A true Satanist will not answer an altar call. Also, it should be noted that Satanists do not worship Satan or bow down to him in any way, so answering a call to receive him as a god is pointless.
Dio is likely not a satanist. He probably used it as a gimic like most bands.
But most of these bands ARE demonic....as anything AGAINST God is demonic. There is no "middle ground"
Right..... but it depends on what you define as "against God".
Against God = Anything not FOR God. You are either for or against. No middle ground. You are either on God's side...or Satan's.
That's not exactly true.
So a band that doesn't praise God in their lyrics are satanic?
stop eating food, then.
No. Demonic. I think there's a difference between Satanic where someone actually WORSHIPS Satan...and demonic...where someone isn't guided by the spirit, but is instead guided by themselves or demonic influences.
It's not like that. It's like I said below....demonic would be anything against God...if you live for yourself you are in essence living under demonic influence...because we are born into sin...we are born corrupt because of demonic influence in the beginning and that cycle continues to this day.
Actually...over-eating could be demonic...just like acting like a jerk to someone else is demonic...Because it's not guided by the spirit...it's a negative that's guided by demonic forces. Which is 100% biblical.
I don't see how anyone who's christian can even argue that it's ok to compromise your reverance for God.
That's beautiful.
Now you're saying that someone who doesn't sing "I love Jesus!!" is most definitely led by demonic influence.
Oh and just to show i'm not some weird ultra-conservative fundi-freak. I love Unearth and In Flames.
There are a couple songs from In Flames I won't listen to simply because it dishonors God. But that's what we as Christians should be like....we shouldn't compromise ourselves by listening to something which defies God simply because "WE" like it...then we fall into selfishness....we listen to it because we like it, even if it trashes the name of our Father who's name we should reverance above ALL others...and should show respect to above all else.
Actually...if someone takes God's name in veign or spits on God with their lyrics...you should be disgusted at it...if the spirit is inside you.
God is a universal reference to a higher power, not his actual name.
It's just like saying anything that says bad things about men is evil. Men is a reference, not a specific person.
