Christian Music?

It is forbidden.

God never says, "Thou shalt not use mechanical instruments of music in worship." However, to assume that such silence is permissive is presumptuous.

Hmmm, lets see.
Casting Crowns.
Michael W Smith.
Vineyard records.

They would be my top 3 although, there are tens of other artists and hundreds if not thousands of other songs.

By that reasoning, could we be in danger of hypocrisy and falling under the influence of "Satan" by eating out of a TV dinner? Sure, why not.

You didn't need to indicate that your not christian as your obvious ignorance said it for you. When people talk about being 'worldly' is doing and promoting things that go against christianity like racism, hatred, promiscuity things that go against Christian teachings. Christian rock/pop would obviously not fit into these categories because its with christianity and not against it

At our church we have a Christian Rock Band, which is AWESOME!
We sing loads of different things, and can do traditional hymns as well as more modernistic songs :-)

We take a lot of inspiration (or you could actually say we "copy") Delirious.. their music is just awesome :-)

What music do you guys listen to?? Do you find it helps when you're going through stressful times, etc?

Satanic music.

I think you've misunderstood Saichu's post. He was actually defending Christianity against claims of satanism for pop/rock music. In any case, please refrain from bumping old threads. Thanks :smile:

One/two word posts which contain inflammatory content but no elucidation are suspicious. If you weren't, I apologize, however please expand on your post which could be considered insulting to others.

The only decent 'Christian' song I've heard is DMX's 'Lord Give Me A Sign'. Which is funny because he came from this:

I was in charge of the music behind a play signifying Jesus's forty days and nights in the desert. Little did the priest know I had organised a medley of Slayer songs...

I laughed very loudly after reading this post :laugh:

umm, I'm not really into many gospel songs even though I'm a Christian. I tend to avoid highly sexual stuff and stuff that's overly offensive, but I would say I tend to listen to secular stuff. There's some really great stuff out there if you look hard enough and if you look past Coldplay. I've been really feeling the recent Dutch Uncles album, Anna Calvi, Everything Everything, but I listen to all sorts really. Looking forward to Maverick Sabre next month.

Gospel artists I admire include Fred Hammond, FaithChild and Kirk Franklin.

You lot might quite like some of the power metal bands out there.

One of my favourites, Heavenly:

Then you've got Theocracy, who are explicitly Christian yet still make very good power metal, and Blind Guardian, who, albeit not explicitly Christian, deal with a lot of Judeo-Christian imagery and thematics.

Oh, and Orphaned Land. Technically Jewish stories, but aren't those yours as well?

Since Rock/Metal is getting a bit of stick I thought I'd back it up with one band: Becoming the Archetype. I can imagine all Gods angels headbanging along with this worship. And to all you saying that rock/metal do not mix I say to you never has the hymn 'How great thou art' been sung so passionately. Although I will admit not everybody will appreciate this music, genre or band as it is ultimately come dow to opinion.

Take 6 are decent - the only "Christian music" I have heard that is really notable. (And I have listened to a lot of music.) The genre in general has a great fondness for kitsch.

DMX is good but he's not a tier 1 rapper - he's no 2pac or biggie.

I had a Christian music group that would come to my local youth church group every so often about 10 years ago under the name of TVB! http://www.cwherald.com/archive/archive/christian-rock-at-appleby-school-20050212261097.htmI knew one of the band members, and was so proud of the musical talents from the group.
