Yes, all music has rhythm, but we are not talking about the plain existence of Rhythm, I am talking about when rhythm is the driving force and emphasis of a song and certain rhythmic techniques.

So if God doesn't like adultery, then he wouldn't make other peoples wives look so attractive either right? I hope you post was a joke, because that logic is awful.

Rippon are you a calvinist? Because that would explain much your views of Finney. Charles Finney ran into many occasions where people had been taught what he called "Old School Theology" , which was basically Calvinism, he had run into many people who had been taught to pray for God to...

Not sure what to think about this thread. looks like we seem to be distracted from telling others about Christ because we are too busy arguing about how to do it. Quite ironic and sad. Bob, as long you present sin when your witness and give the Holy Spirit avenue to work in hearts, I...

I do not think I will ever believe in Calvinism knowing the scriptures that I know.

I have seen handfuls of people make professions of faith in Christ in the last year and half that I started using the method of the Law. I would say I've seen probably around 10, so it does work, it's worked much better for me than the Romans Road in my opinion.

2 things. 1. The Gospel of John was written after the other 3 Gospels, and the fact that it does not mention repentance should take into account that the prior revelations in the other 3 gospels already do. Repentance is a big part of the Gospel. If a person believes that they have to be...

The musical style and intentions of the original artists who shaped the style exists long after the original artists are gone. if a lost person develops a musical style that is used to communicate a message of carnality, this carnality is still retained in the actually sound without the...

I would like to apologize for accusing those of having a music position that is Amoral as being fleshly and carnal. I would like to modify what I said. If you hold to a position that you believe music is amoral and that genres like Christian Rock/Hip-Hop can be used to bring honor and...

If you think the music issue is just about rejecting new music, you don't understand the reasoning at all. No preacher that I know rejects Contemporary Christian music because it is new.

I really do wonder what the percentage of Rock Music/Hip-Hop/Metal songs there are that contain worldly ungodly lyrics compared to what percentage of style contained in our Baptist Hymn books that have ungodly lyrics... in fact I'm willing to bet that there are little to no ungodly songs...

a Swedish folk style such as How great thou art reflects the character of God with it's emphasis on melody, Rock Music style does not. The sounds of the musical styles reflect two very different philosophies.

How great thou art does not have music with a sensual rhythmic technique. the overemphasis of rhythym in music is carnal. the bible says to make melody in your heart to the Lord, not Rhythm. I draw my lines mainly on what is driving the song, if it's melody than I will accept it, if...

Not sure what your trying to say here. Do you still hold to the music position that BJU taught you?

this lost me. i dont understand the point.

It's all about the drums would be played. I have never been one who said drums were of the flesh.

Today my pastor told me this:at this point in time, Hell and Paradise were right next to eachother, note Luke 16 how the Rich Man and Abraham were able to converse, It's possible Saul went to the Hell side and that Samuel might not have meant that he would go to Paradise.

So if a Christian synthesizes cocaine and slaps a Jesus label on it with the intention of people taking it and getting excited at church, that makes it sanctified and good to use according to your logic? because the only thing that matters is the person making it right? the substance or nature...

if Scripture condemns Homosexuality, can we then choose to appeal to Romans 14 and say "Well I think it's ok for me, if you judge me you are being legalistic" no you would say it's clearly defined in scripture that it is abomination. it's the same with this issue, Love not the world...

Music is very important, Carnal music will grieve the Spirit of God away and make our evangelistic efforts much weaker, a clean heart is the most effective evangelistic boost we can have. So i disagree with your comment about music.
