    Since he won't tell us what is supposed to be "new age", I guess we'll never know.

    If it is only meant to mean "contemporary", then why is it a bad thing?

    Any song that is giving a picture of saving the earth and does not mention God in it at all. This song is new age through and through.

    What is "new age" about wishing a little less of nature was paved over?
    What is "new age" about being disappointed that too many trees were being cut down?
    What is "new age" about not wanting chemicals on your fruit?
    What is "new age" about realizing that your relationships will deteriorate if you don't take care of them?

    The Bible says the elements of this earth are going to melt away with a fervent heat, yet we have people hugging trees, kissing whales, and denying the Word of God.

    I just read through the lyrics to "Big Yellow Taxi" again, and I have to admit failure to find examples of anyone hugging a tree, kissing a whale, or denying the Word of God. Maybe they are invisible?

    Frankly, if the biggest arguments the opponents of this kind of music can come up with are wild-eyed tirades, then they really don't merit the kind of attention they get on this board.

    Here is the BIG answer that you have been wanting, those lyrics do not line up with Ephesians 5:19.

    Ephesians 5:19 does not forbid music with non-spiritual themes.

    Is that really logical? To make a statement about a subject that you know nothing about, and then do "research" to find facts to support your case?

    You knew enough about it to tell us that it is "new age", so you know enough about it to tell us why is new age.

    Given your history of lying and distraction, it's obvious that you're avoiding the question, just as you did in the last thread.

    And yet another post from jch_singer where he refuses to answer the question.

    Does it make you angry that you made a claim and now are forced to admit that you can't back it up?

    What's so odd about this is that it was over. You admitted you lied and I and the other people in that thread were going to let it drop.

    You insisted on making the claim again that you had just admitted you lied about, and now you're mad because someone is holding you accountable?

    I did not mean to lie, I have been saying new age music, but what I should have said is secular music, do we agree that secular music is wrong?:type:

    That sounds like an awfully convenient out, especially since "secular" and "new age" have nothing to do with one another.

    It should also be pointed out that it's been demonstrated that you did lie and the steps you took to put that lie forth were deliberate.

    No, I do not agree that mainstream music is wrong.

    I'll answer your question when you answer mine.

    You call it playing a game. What you've really been doing is trying to deceive us and, in fact, you've already admitted in another thread to lying about this.

    Mike read what the Bible says in Romans 12:2, and this is what new age music is

    1, a genre of music, originally of a mystical nature associated with New Age philosophies; now tends to be relaxing music with elements of world music

    God wiped the earth out once because it was corrupt, (see Genesis 6:11-13) so are you telling me that something God said is corrupt is ok for you to listen to?

    Mck you are pathetic you like to brag about what you listen to, but yet you will not give the above artist credit. Me thinks you are playing both sides of the face ...you really do belong in the camp of your detractor and it rings hollow you are trying to defend these lyrics ..perhaps both of you should ask Joni Mitchell.

    No, Spurgeon, not only does Romans 12:2 not say anything about new age music, new age music didn't even exsist until the 1970's.



    So then, when pressed, you say that new age music just means "secular" music and now you're back to the original definition?

    What happened to that promise you made to tell the truth?

    Since you still haven't shown that it's new age at all, and won't answer my questions, your question is moot.

    I think we all agree that new age music is wrong... the problem is we are talking about Christian music, and just because someone doesn't like a certain style, they say it is worldly, or new age.

    Please show from scripture, where CCM is wrong.
    It sounds like modern music.
    some Southern Gospel sounds like bluegrass.
    Bluegrass is worldly music, Therefore Southern Gospel is worldly.
    Since SG is worldly, anyone singing it is.

    Do you see the logic?
    It breaks down.. i love a lot of SG songs, not all of them. There are Godly artists. Just as there are Godly artists, like Casting Crowns, that are singing CCM.

    What you mean "we", white man?

    New Age music is a marketing category for music and is not to be confused with New Age theology.

    No, it's not Christian music, it's a Joni Mitchell song.
