(i got this subject from the popular media thread)
do you think it is good/ bad?
personally, i think it isn't too respectful. i believe that music worshipping God should be respectful and reverent. people making rock and metal christian music is bending God to fit your life, you should change your life to worship him. Church is supposed to be a reverent place where people can sing together and pray and listen to listens and stuff.
Im guessing your a bible thumper... Just because they're songs are black doesn't mean that they're going to hell. Stop putting those stupid ideologies into everyday life. Just because someone may do something wrong doesn't mean they're going to hell.
hm craze77, in my church we don't have a choir. (well, we do but they don't sing during the service. except like once a month or something and they'll sing like a song or two). but we all sing hymns as a whole congregation. one at the beginning, 1 or 2 in the middle, and 1 at the end. and we have a hymn book with like 300 and something hymns to choose from
Our choir is a little more active, but mostly it's just the congregation. Sometimes, the young men or women do special music. But it's few and far between.
Christian metal is just another way to try and spread the message of the bible in covert and sneaky ways. Nothing new.
And popular media has been infiltrated by religion in many shapes, ways and forms. Christian metal bands are akin to all the bibles being printed when the first printing press was manufactured. Get it to the masses fast and in volume.
