I am a true fundamentalist and independent Baptist. My view of Bible translation is the same view as that held by the early EnglishOriginally posted by Brad14:
and I again ask the question are there any true fundamentalist on this board?
Michelle, the scripture tells us everything we need to be thoroughly furnished. If we need to do it, the scriptural statements will be there. God tells us in writing everything we need to know and do in order to be perfect.I didn't come up with this on my own. We are to prove all things. It is the scriptures that I judge everything by and live my life accordingly to as best as I can. This was one of them:
Those in the year 1000 would have disagreed with you. They believed no music was of God and that all music was of the devil.Originally posted by michelle:

All sacred music was CCM at one time.

NO it wasn't. Sacred music is just that sacred, and has no part with the things or ways of the world.
KJV Matthew 5:9 Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.Or are you compromising with them or keeping quiet for sake of peace? Those that do this, are doing the bidding of the devil.
Oh, I agree michelle, but in my own case, I have chosen my method of communicating with others so as to be know as a peacemaker rather than an accuser of the brethren.The peacemakers being spoken of are those who bring the gospel truth to others. Jesus Christ is true peace, and it is speaking of those who bring Jesus Christ to others. This verse has NOTHING to do with compromising TRUTH for sake of peace.
I may have missed it but what scriptural truth have you applied?Originally posted by michelle:
No, I have applied scriptural truth to this issue and my belief comes from those scriptural truths. CCM music of today shows forth bad fruits.
Has anyone of you who are here condoning the CCM proved it to be godly?
