Heavy metal music is wrong

[Etienne Marais]

I dont know who of you have ever heard about the rock band Roxette but as 'n Christian I am compleatly against that music because it is against my Christian faith. There is facts why there music is daingerous that I would like to share with you.

There songs The look and Dress for sucsess goes about ugly stuff like hair styles and as a Christian I am compleatly against that music.

There is so many wrong music in this world that people listen to. Why do people listen to that. It is wrong and it is against my Christianity.

I dont like there music and as 'n Christian I would like to warn people against the dainger of this music.

There song Daingerous goes about a woman who someone like but all the time he know she is daingerous.

There is so many nice Gospel music that people could rather listen to and I like Gospel music. I like what I believe is write and hate what I believe is wrong.

There is so many heavy metal bands that Christians should not listen to because of satanism.

I like all the good Gospel music that goes about what Jesus did for us
and I listen to Gospel music but Roxette's music is daingerous stay very far away from there music.

I dont like there music at all because of the ugly stuff that there songs goes about.

As a Christian I am compleatly against there music I would like to tell people who listen to there music why I believe it is daingerous.

If you want to know why I said this music is wrong ask the Holy Spirit
and he will show you why you must stay away.

That would depend on the message of the individual song. Even though it is not my style if it is a christian message I see no problem, other than that any style of music that has a bad message should be rejected. For example, I do not like most rap but have heard some rap with a powerful message for Christ.
But reject a whole style of music, that is the same reaction folks had to the church organ when it was introduced often calling it the "devil's bagpipes".

 

[Etienne Marais]

You are write. Many heavy metal and rap music is the devil's music. I like Gospel music but I never listen music if God said stay away.

 

[jiggyfly]

I agree Boanerges, many of the sacred hymns sung today were poems put to the music of bar room melodies a century or two ago.:shock:

 

[01redeemed]

Not exactly

It sounds to me like you have thrown out the baby with the bath water here! lol. I understand that there are songs from many different genres that have terrible messages but that doesn't mean that particular genre is bad because of some songs. There are many different genres today of Christian songs with good Christ centered messages. However not all "Christian" labeled music is scriptural. One cannot simply diregard all "Christian" music as no good because of some songs, in whatever genre they may be, which are not scriptural. Just the same as that one cannot throw out the whole genre of "Heavy Metal", "Pop", "Rock" or any other genre because of some bad or wrong songs. I do agree that it is about the message that is going forth not how, or in what genre it is delivered. People definitely have opinions and preferrences as to what kind of music they like but that doesn't mean the rest of it is all bad. Be blessed.

Hi there Etienne,

I am so glad you are learning to stand up for Christ when it comes to music. I too have learned that there are even some "christian songs" that do not bring glory to God and I am still learning to discern and see what should be thrown out and what not.

Imagine this for a moment, a teenager is very heavy into 'heavy metal' and hears the good news, believes they are a sinner in need of saving and repents and accepts Jesus as their Lord and savior. But they totally dont like the sound of christian music. So they do give up the worldy and satanic heavy metal but begin to listen to some christian 'metal like bands and music'......would you tell them how wrong it is and make them feel bad for listening to that or would you pat them on the back and say wow, you are making real progress with the Lord?

And i know that as they grow with the Lord their taste for music WILL change cause God will give them new desires. :wink:

There is a dvd out called "Sold their souls for rock an roll". i think its about 2 an half hours long. Please look for it an get it. This dvd is about the stanic messages and stuff the media (TV, newspapers, magazines, radio etc) ALREADY KNOWS about concerning the people in various bands and their music but has kept it from the public. It will teach you very very much about music and you will have even more solid information to share with those who love 'wordly music".

God bless you with divine wisdom in your journey of exposing the evils of 'wordly seducing' music.

Warm regards
beam

and p.s - personally i dont think there are any hairstyles that scare the Lord, heehee......look deeper into people, especially the ones with the wierdest hairstyles, i think they jus expressing a deep need for acceptance, remember God loved us while we were still sinners and once we accept Him, we go through a process of change to become more and more like Him in every area of our lives, including our hairstyles, heehee LOL....:shade:

Roxette???

Heavy Metal??

"She's got the look" was a europop hit when I was a teenager - that was a long time ago. Even then it was an embarrassment.

If Roxette is a threat to the Kingdom of God, it must be quite a small one, because nobody is listening to them anyone.

 

[tomana]

it's a matter of the heart, sometimes consideration who is in the listening area (do not cause your brother/sister to stumble 1 Cor 8:9)
but as far as style of music - isn't God the Creator and owner of all things?

BTW, hello everyone.

 

[sports441995]

You can't just pick out a type of music and say it is wrong. It depends on the individual song; an entire style of music cannot be just plain "wrong."

I am a huge heavy metal fan, and a Christian. I'm not talking about that screamo crap you sometimes here; I mean REAL heavy metal (Ozzy, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest.) Are some of their songs a bit dark? Sure. Satanic? Not so much. I agree that many so-called "heavy metal" bands are wrong, and some truly are Satanic. But that doesnt mean every heavy metal band is like that.

Educate yourself before making a stereotype, please.

There is so many heavy metal bands that Christians should not listen to because of satanism.

I'm listening to heavy metal right now. The song is called "Majestic", by the group Renascent. Here are the lyrics:

The Lord reigns in heaven and on earth
Robed in majesty and armed with strength
Your righteous throne is from all eternity
Your Kingdom cannot be moved

The seas have lifted up
The seas have lifted up their voice
The depths have raised up
The depths have raised up their pounding waves

How great are your works, how profound your thoughts!
How immense are the halls of your justice, how high your ways!
Your statutes stand firm, holiness adorns your house
You are exalted for endless days!

Mightier than the thunder
Mightier than the great waters
Mightier than the breakers of the sea
- the Lord on high is mighty

The Lord reigns in heaven and on earth
Robed in majesty and armed with strength
Your righteous throne is from all eternity
Your Kingdom cannot be moved

Bible verses used
Psalms 92 & 93


Really satanic, isn't it? I love this song. And there are lots of songs like this, and lots of groups like this. A music genre can't be bad, only lyrics can.

Just my view:
Any music that glorifies God is okay with me.:shade:
Religious people are always afraid of something different than they know.
Typically the folks saying this are listening to what the religious folks in their great grandpas day would be considered heresy.
You could liken this to Bibles; a few new ones are paraphrased to the point of not resembling the original. Still I would not throw out all my bibles because of this.

If God meets me when I worship I need no approval from man on the "style"of music. I would however not use my freedom to cause one weak in their faith to stumble.

[HardWay]

i agree
in the early times they sang to god. the voice was the only instrument.
today you hear always a guitar as example.
because of that, the music isnt wrong.
these are the changig of times.
when god is the center of the song,
here woulnt be any limit i think.
hard rock isnt always wrong
but better would be classic or gospel thats true..

other toughts?

 

[Veracity]

Roxette is like so ...80's!! However it seems in Europe Marie Frdereckson did pretty well. I went and listened to Dangerous, and Listen to your heart...I could not remember what they sounded like, but then immediately the sound was familiar. <feeling old>

I am not a singer, but I think the song "listen to your heart" could be used as a Christian song, if someone did it right. him to Him etc.

I know there's something in the wake of your smile
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yeah
you've built a love but that love falls apart
your little piece of heaven turns too dark

listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile
the precious moments are all lost in the tide, yeah
they're swept away and nothing is what is seems
the feeling of belonging to your dreams

listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

and there are voices
that want to be heard
so much to mention
but you can't find the words
the scent of magic
the beauty that's been
when love was wilder than the wind

listen to your heart
when he's calling for you
listen to your heart
there's nothing else you can do
I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye

Listen to your heart....mm..mmm

I don't know where you're going
and I don't know why
but listen to your heart
before you tell him goodbye


Maybe it is just that I see Jesus in everything, but this could be a warning to those who turn their back on the Lord and go back into the world of sin and giving into the flesh.

It is 4:06 AM, and I could just be delirious, but does anyone else see it this way? When you say hard rock, I think of Alice Cooper, Alice in Chains, NIN. Roxette is pretty tame, it is what you hear that makes everything "Dangerous".

Maybe it is just that I see Jesus in everything, but this could be a warning to those who turn their back on the Lord and go back into the world of sin and giving into the flesh.

I have noticed I do that too "see Jesus in everything" with words and music, if the words are aimed for a love song it is so easy to sing to Jesus. I'm glad I'm not the only one! Praise the Lord!

 

[Dreamer]

I enjoy music that glorifies God. This includes old hymns, newer hymns, contemporary worship, and Christian rock and pop. I have heard a few bands who do not seem to be doing it for the glory of God. These I can stay away from. But to stay away from music just because of a style? David played the harp and danced. I can only believe God loves the drums...after all, why did He give us a sense of rythym?

Ps. 33: 1-3 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous ones; praise from the upright is beautiful. Praise the Lord with the lyre; make music to Him with a ten-stringed harp. Sing a new song to Him; play skillfully on the strings, with a joyful shout.

Ps. 81:1-3 Sing for joy to God our strength; shout in triumph to the God of Jacob. Lift up a song--play the tambourine, the melodious lyre, and the harp. Blow the horn during the new moon and during the full moon, on the day of our feast.

Ps 119:54 Your statutes are the theme of my song during my earthly life.

Well said.

I think what was intended to be said is that worship music isn't all about the beat and drums and guitars and screaming. It's about praising God and honoring Him. Too much music today is all about the beat, and if there's no catchy beat, no one likes it. But in reality, worship music ISN'T about the beat, it's all about giving honor to Jesus. Besides, did you all know that the church of satan were the people who started metal music? Their motives were to be more popular than Christianity, and said that Christianity will diminish. Metal music was created to worship satan, and it's extremely wrong to use something created for satan to worship God instead. That is the same as putting idols into the temple of God in old testament times. And alot of times, Christian 'concerts' are like shows instead of worship services, utilizing flashing lights and all the other things. Worship isn't a show!!!! It's a privilege and should be performed in an orderly manner and out of respect for God. I'm not saying any of this in a mean or downing way. It's truth.

 

[Boanerges]

More beat, less beat- as long as it glorifies God what is the problem. If something helps you to focus on God do it if not then it may be not for you but for the next fellow.:shade:
