I was gonna touch on this rock subject but I would like to touch on this first...

Honestly we are not to celebrate Christmas or Easter in the Pagan regards. Christmas is a pagan worship and Easter is also the same. Most people don't know that easter is actually a ritual celebrating the "spring goddess".

Christmas and Easter in a Christian home should be celebrated with praise and worship and thanksgiving for the life and passing of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

I never said we were to celebrate it the same way. I said we adopted those holidays from the pagan world. Which is what the OP is saying. We have to separate ourselves from "worldly" things (rock music) so that Satan will have no means of enticing or controlling us. My point was that Christmas and Easter began as "worldly" holidays that the church adopted. Everything depends on the message and the motive. Rock music is not excluded from that logic.

That is definately a good point. Like Christmas and Easter, Rock can also be adopted by the church and used for good. I agree with that. Shoot there's Christian Rap music, and Rap music is just as bad or worse than Rock in my eyes. All the boats hoes cars drugs sex that get rapped about these days. And it gets freely spewed over our radio's for children to listen too...

you could just turn the radio off lol

I'm a youth pastor and a metal head. I only listen to Christian music. The only time I would consider Christian metal a negative thing is if it is not being used properly. What I mean by that is that, in itself, Christian metal is not inherently bad. I am a witness that it has the power to stir up deep emotions, and because of that I need to know when and when not to use it. Sometimes when I have been in fits of righteous anger, it has calmed my soul and offered clarity and a connection with God. It is your responsibility to discern if you are being sinful or righteous in your anger, and how you use Christian metal along with your emotions.

Enjoy, my friends:
