[QUOTE="MacFall, post: 56372850, member: 206437"] Plenty of thoroughly wicked people have been "very religious" throughout history. Jesus said that we would know his followers by their fruit, not by how religious they are. And the fruit of the life of Michael Jackson was humanism, excess, and perversion. He never made a confession of faith (except to say that he liked the teaching of Muhammed), and never wrote songs to glorify God. There's nothing wrong with enjoying his work for its artistic merits, but using his songs for worship would be contrary to the purpose of worship. The same applies to other secular artists, and for that matter, to any song written by a Christian which was meant to entertain rather than to glorify God. Again, there's nothing wrong with enjoying music for its own sake, but worship is a sacred thing, and music written for any purpose other than God's glory is by definition profane. No reason should need to be given for why the two must be kept separate. [/QUOTE]
