And while listening to the “Christian” rap, I drink my “Christian” beer, and surf the internet for “Christian” porn. Riiiiiight.
Just smacking “Christian” in front of something doesn’t make it Christian. I don’t kid myself about secular music - nor “Christian” music that has the exact same sound as secular music. Just because the words are changed, the music isn’t, and the beat isn’t.
“You people aren’t making Christianity better. You’re just making rock n’ roll worse!” — Hank Hill
The Bible says to “sing a new song.” Certainly sticking Christian in front of something doesn’t make it so, but if the lyrics are promoting Jesus and Christianity then I believe it is pleasing to God.
I think it is incorrect to believe that your way of worshipping is the only way to worship. As long as Jesus is the center and the message is the same then I could care less if the words are put to the rhythm of Mozart, Gershwin, Aerosmith, or Run DMC.
I also do not believe that any certain domination has a corner on the market of the blueprint of the way to get to Heaven. Never be it so!
It is rather funny that you have quoted Hank Hill though. Kudos for that bit of humor.
Have a blessed day.
Somewhere, at some time, someone said the same thing about the guy who started tacking intervals of a 3rd above the melody of a Gregorian chant.
And counterpoint. Oh my God. Multiple independent lines all happening at the same time?
And harmony in the classic (1750-1800) period? How dare they use the the diabolus in musica in sacred music.
