Nope...it's just that I believe in being gentle in my speech and conduct. I'm trying to maintain a good witness...even on a debate forum.Some of you have a soft, effeminate love, if indeed it's not a debating ploy. Quit ye like men. Stand up and say what you believe!
Is Music Really Neutral?Let's think about this rationally shall we?
How can music, in and of itself, be inherently good or bad? Of God or of Satan?
The people that write and play the music can either be a sinner or a saint, and can be used for either good or evil, but to say that all music of XYZ category is "of the world" is nonsense.
Afterall, what is music? Essentially it is the combination, organization, and discretization of sound waves that consist of various frequencies and amplitudes with a variety of timbres.
Take the above, and remove the organization and you basically have noise.
So tell me how one set of organized sounds waves of various timbres is ok, but not another?

You are complaining because I have done (in jest) what you have done in all seriousness: distort the message of a song by quoting two lines of it in isolation.That isn't totally true, just read Amy Grants lyrics above, that is gospel to you? actually most CCM lyrics are far from christian lyrics just read some of Rez Bands lyrics which are no different than hard rock ungodly lyrics...here is one
"there is no Heaven there is no Hell they keep ringing up the mission bells"
Chorus line over and over, they also have a song about killing babies.
Drat, I was wrong, I guess In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida just missed the cut.Originally posted by Frenchy:
Let it be clearly understood that the only people on the face of the earth, in this generation or any other, who have tried to promote the "neutrality of music" are Christians living after 1965.

I see. So then, you don't even know what the lyrics are, but you're condemning them?Originally posted by Frenchy:
if you can find the lyrics (I COULDN"T) to Missions Bells please do.
Please see above.Don't be so quick to judge without all the facts

"The Coyote is probably gay. He runs funny!"
"Elmer Fudd's label, 'Wabbit' is an ancient Wiccan curse"
