    How do you know she didn't come to faith?

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    Who are you mating? Because first, you need to identify what that joyful noise with the trumpets and cornet is.

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    That was a much better response. I'm glad I decided not to respond with mine. :thumbsup:

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    And again, you're trying to trap me into a classification, and I refuse to be your pharisee that imposes legalistic do's and don'ts.

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    And are meaningless and worthless without someone acting upon them -- just like words. Then by all means, tell us what music we should only be listening to.

    New Doctor Who

    Actually, the progression makes sense. You had the war doctor, who felt so guilty about his part that the next incarnation (Eccleston) was only a tad bit "lighter"; and the next two were even more "running away" from their persona as the war doctor. This new one seems to be returning to more...

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    You forget: music is nothing without the instrument. Whether it be lips that have to be used, or a drum that must be beat, or a trumpet that must be blown: without the instrument, and the person using it, the notes do not exist. Hardly. You're trying to trap me into a specific area, and I...

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    Au contraire, my friend. Music is the result of action and intent. Nope. Not until you answer the conditions.

    Country-western, anyone?

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    Just as there are riotous eaters and excessive drinkers? (both biblical references, by the way) But it isn't the food that is riotous, or the wine that is excessive. If I answer your question, are you willing to abide by that answer and never listen to any music that *I* have determined is...

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    'Cause if you really want me to answer that question, my list is gonna start with anything that has a steel guitar in it....

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    Exactly my point. You just asked me about my personal preferences. If I answer that question, then I'm condemning something that another finds edifying. You just asked me to make the list of what's acceptable communication, and what's not. Tell you what: You don't like the music I'm...

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    Jordan - would we have death metal music if no musician would play it? If no, then it's the person putting the notes together that you need to address. In fact, you have addressed it by saying "sinful flesh." Woody's analogy is very good: if no one used certain words, we wouldn't have...

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    You blame music like gun control advocates blame guns. Until you realize it's not the music, but the person making it, you'll continue to strain at gnats yourself. Find a copy of "Music for Prague1968" and give it a listen. You most likely will condemn it for its discordance through much of...

    Are musical styles amoral? Round 2.

    Really? When was the last time a hammer pounded a nail without a hand lifting it? When was the last time a piano played itself? Or a harp? Or even drums, for that matter? Music is created by the musician. There is no music without a musician. Music is used to convey a message; but it is the...

    Actually, he's incorrect. *Everything* is neutral -- until you or I pick it up and do something with it. That hammer in your tool drawer? It just sits there, neutral, until you pick it up and use it for selfish purposes like hanging a picture of yourself on the wall; or for murderous purposes...

    Meh, better to stand corrected than rabbit-trail on which is the more correct spelling.... :)

    You are correct; I stand corrected.
