Yep, that was the one, thanks.
PPFFFTTTTTTTTTT......
Spewing water all over the monitor and keyboard.
Perhaps a review of your posting history would be enlightening.
calling pop Christian music ‘vain repetition’ is ‘offensive online vendetta’
wow just wow,
were all the other protestants who couldn’t stand pp Christian music guilty of offensive online vendetta too or is it just because I’m Catholic?
BTW you haven’t heard what I think of most of current Catholic pop music - besides being unsingable its unlistenable.
For the Greater Glory of God - not thin skinned people
yes and I always choke at ‘wretch like me’.
For the Greater Glory of God
Thanks for the ping. I prefer music that shows respect and love for the Lord, because, after all, HE is the audience and the complete focus of our worship, not our puny selves. :)
correction:
would *never* say publicly what I told her privately.
Ad Majoram Dei Gloriam
Well, your comment in post 205 would be a little less than accurate, as you just demonstrated........
Confusion? My point was that, if it required twenty years of training to attain the required level of ability of performance, any thing of a “contemporary” nature would of necessity be discounted. As anyone can notice, contemporary music today requires very little in the way of effort, ability, or talent.
ALL generalizations tend to be inaccurate...
I knew that’s what you were going to say. It does not follow logically though. Doctors take almost a decade of training before they can practice, and they are constantly being updated on contemporary knowledge.
Second, you are saying the only music is the music in THE Temple. You can’t apply that here.
Third, when David “danced before the Lord” - there is no reason to think it was to old music.
Nice try. (What is your scriptural basis for this any way?)
Yet you posted it anyway.
It has been removed.
Just last night as I was drifting off to sleep, I started thinking about the great hymns I grew up with. Though there ARE a few exceptional modern songs that truly do contribute to genuine worship, many today are repetitive, single stanza ones, that seem like a waste of time. Hymns such as “The Old Rugged Cross”, “What a Friend We Have in Jesus”, “How Great Thou Art” and “Amazing Grace” preach a story and help remind us of our great God and Savior. I find it difficult to get through them with dry eyes.
I really liked Amy Grant’s early Christian music albums. I was sorry to see her give in to the secular world.
Those are four great anointed hymns - no doubt - but to your point, I think you could go through a book of 400 hymns and find 375 that are not anointed at all.
Hearing a “popular” Christian song performed by a local youth minister nearly made me puke.
I recall him singing...
“Heaven meets Earth with a ‘sloppy wet’ kiss.”
“He is the hurricane I am a tree...” then something about shaking.
It was disturbing.
Katy Perry started out “Christian.”
Thanks for the info!...:)
But we dont like POP style music... so we hold those artists to a different standard.
Johnny Cash and Tennessee Ford made their money before going to Gospel music.
These kids going around to the churches with their so called music are depending on the people in the pews to doll out for something they would not pay a dime to go see if it was not a Church thing.
I left the Church when this started happening but I assume it is still the same way, that has been a lot of years ago.
