You apparently didn't read the whole article. I did NOT write the original article I told who did. That being said before God changed me I loved metal. My flesh still loves it. Did that ever make a claim on talent in regards, nope. It did Biblically (the book as a Christian we should live by) explain the view against rock/metal. (Apparently you didn't read it all.)

Ok, this whole topic is missing the point. Demons, devils, evil things that go bump in the night? I have yet to hear any form of this from a Hendrix song, which I don't listen to much Hendrix either way.
.. Some songs openly praise the devil, and people listen to this by choice. And we sin by choice.. Not because of a subliminal message.
And it's in my opinion that we are protected from "tricks" such as this. You have Psalm 27:1 right there in your signature. I think it's pretty relevant to the whole topic.

While the idea of death metal christian music is kinda odd, I believe the point of it is to encourage people without faith to see that God to, can rock. Or something like that.
It hurts to say, but being christian has become a social taboo. Which heavily dictates peoples choices. So bands try to click to areas that people can relate to.

It's not a troll, you don't have a complete Biblical foundation for something and it's "trollololoolololling". Who is trolling is Satan, who wants to blind you to the fact you live on this earth for maybe 70-80 years, maybe longer God willing, and eternity is forever, it never ends. Is it worth creating a personal relationship with Christ and turning away from sin so you can spend an eternity with Him? It is for me. Praise God



Do a little research on Hendrix and what he says happened to Him on stage, you start doing more research you find people are admitting (and I'm not talking about in songs) in interviews where they have sold their souls for fame. To a certain point we are protected. But continuously allowing sinful things in your life (when saved you become a new creation and your heart changes, you are remade and are willing and want to turn away from sin). Am I saying if you listen to this type of music you are going to Hell? Not at all. Am I saying it's hurtful to your relationship with Christ and could ruin it? Yes.

Read the Bible verses, God does not "rock". People who get saved at these kind of events do it on an emotional level and have no solid foundation to stand on after the concerts and go back to their normal lives for the majority. Christ never used any worldly way EVER to bring someone to Him. The gospels (Matthew,Mark,Luke,John) should be the foundations for our ministries to bring people to Jesus Christ.

Very true. GoodFight Ministries has documented a lot of these. You can watch clips of their movies on their website here: http://theater.goodfight.org/
If you don't want to click on the link, just google "they sold their souls for rock and roll". It's really sad that anybody would "sell their soul" for a few years of riches.

God does indeed "rock". As rock is just as much as a slang term as it is a music genre. We aren't in the iron age.
Sin is everywhere and anywhere you look. There is no sense to turn every corner with caution. When the sun comes up, what do the shadows do? They hide.
My music preference has absolutely nothing to do with my relationship with Christ, excluding the songs that praise him.
Oh and fyi, ANYTHING god does, is considered a holy act. He defines the rules. not the devil.
Your giving the devil far to much credit, Are you really that scared of him? The devil exploits our fear, does he not?
Instead of hitting anything suspicious with a magnifying glass, walk through that room of demons with crosses a Blazin'

Again, Christ is a choice. No he doesn't make Christian death metal. But people do. Because that's part of being christian right? To share Christ!
Kids aren't going to listen to the old gospels, not by choice. You might as well try reading verses to a deaf man.
Why not put it in a way that they can understand?
Why can't god be fun?

I think the issue is that not everyone is strong in conviction and character, and may be more susceptible to negative types of influence. For those people, it is best that they avoid temptation, so as not to succumb.

this is true. I may be wrong, but I have always been of the opinion that we are given a choice. Brainwashing and subliminal messages, are not a choice. That would mean that the devil is forcing himself into you.
There may be songs with this, but God would NEVER permit such an action to have any command over you. Faith or no faith, Things like this would be snuffed out.
