I don't no but I no most of the NON- Charamastic churches or other dead church like the catholic churches for example, One of the those kind of church would speak against church that like to have some sort of a Holy Ghost Party "well not to put them down or anything im not trying to judge but thats how I no that peolpe say on that opinion but im not trying to bash other church saying it is dead but just that I rather praise God for all the things that he did for me and like to shout and fear the Demons away that knowing the the demons can't have contact with satan and with some much mass loud music because the demon are like wave on top of us trying to contact but that high godly sound really make the demon a hard time to have contact with satan and when I say fear the demon they don't like to hear the blood of Jesus and they don't like to hear praise is like rebuking them but listening to satanic music really gives me a panic attack.:omg: :omg: :secret:

But hey there are people in church who don't feel like praising or worship the LORD but they better PRAISE HIM and they still do even in church some minorities of people sitting down but sometimes they do even worship and praise God and I no they love going to church and all." But anyway I thought I heard that all sort of kind of Christians music that are of pagan roots from what I read in this catholic website speaking against churches like that and other stuff because we would say that they are pagan because they worship idols and do things that can realate to wichcraft. So what is your point of view on this..

For me, I think that God loves all music and he enjoy but not pleasing with worldy songs but Christian music at the sometime it converts us because of the Holy Spirit that make us happy and feel heavenly things. I also believed that music is a gift from God and people do other things in Church that use there personality and there gift abilities to the world to bring the world into the church to changes there wicked ways who feel that they can accept Christ into there life.

But I guest all sort of music got save from the Christians who can be converted to Godly away from worldly things like Rap, to hard Mental music for example and thwey are part of Christian music like Gospel Rap and for some but not for all like that kind of that kind of music and they like to listen to other thinga nd God bless with are tastes also even music is just sound but I no that heaven has a big amazing music and I believed that angles sings in Heaven and the bible says about angle sung and also angle sings in Jesus birth. But really, I guest Christian music draw people in the house of God. I no music is good for our soul and it minister to us and it welcome God because he has emotions and personalities like we do and it does welcome God more to the church and it express to the world that we worship and Praise God in the sound of music and we don't always need instrumental music but could just use our mouth that we can sing loud but it is our heart that a true worshipers don't need music the music is just the express but a true worshiper is what is in his/her heart. But if you go to church for entraining then your in the wrong place but that what my pastor had said to us once.
But as long your having fun in the lord and it don't mean we can't have fun also the lord like to see us in joyness but it not for your self. It is not about you is about God how you pleasing him The main thing is to please the lord. What this boring song, did somebody past away. JOKING. Well saying something that is boring can be something evil got to rebuke the boring to stop over power you. amen.

Psalm68:25 The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after, among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.

Exodus15:20 And Miriam the prophetess, the sister of Aaron, took a timbrel in her hand; and all the women went out after her timbrels and with dances.
21 And Miriam answered them, Sing ye to the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously; the horse and his rider hath he thrown into the sea.

Psalms 149
1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a NEW SONG, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the DANCE: let them SING PRAISES unto HIM with the timrel and harp.
4 For the LORD taketh PLEASURE in his PEOPLE: He will BEAUTIFY the meek with SALVATION.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 Let the HIGH PRAISES of GOD be in their MOUTH, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgement written: this honour have all this saints. Praise ye the LORD.

2 Samuel 6:14-16
14 And david danced before the LORD with all his might; and David was girded with linen ephod.
15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
16 And as the ark of the LORD came into the the city of David, Michal Saul's daughter looked through a window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.


BUTS THERE ALOT OF SCIPTURES ABOUT; SINGING, THE MUSIC, and DANCING in the Bible and I just don't feel like typing it all but anyways if I could ask how do you people paste things on here instead of typing everything????:lightbulb

It could be true, people have gone to church because it was entertaining. If you were to go back in time, lets say 100 years, folks living at that time would answer your question, saying "Yes we do go to Church because it is entertaining, all today's drama is in the pulpit" And perhaps it was. The preachers of that day were unique individuals, each having a unique God given ministry.

We have moved on from there, in the realm of entertainment.

Entertainment is the wrong word to describe church attendance today, as I see it.

I go to church because it is my pleasure, my joy, it satisfies my soul, I magnify the Lord with His Saints, and enjoy people of like mind and desire.

You mention music....and dance, and their are height's of joy in serving Jesus....even today. But you dont have to go to church to enjoy that.

How about if I say, I enjoy all things that God bless me that I joy from him
 
Not to judge any churches...

I don't understand judging churches without knowing the truth...how many catholic churches people know? I know there are churches which really spirit filled...it is not just exciting experiences that makes the church alive but the way faith, hope and charity is lived...Let us not judge any churches but let us pray for the body of Christ wherever she suffers...:lightning

There still kind of down in those type of Church I mean the CATHOLIC CHURCH because I could go to that church and shout and praise out of my lungs and all the people there might look at me funny and give me a dirty looks so what you think on that? PLUS I HAVE GONE TO THAT CHURCH MANY TIME BEFORE:embarasse
 
Oh sorry!!

According to me there are catholic churches where one can pray spontaneously expressing with all their hearts...Even I had been conducting such services...so let us not judge...again shouting or loudly praising alone not the prayers...learn to be more deep in our prayer to live what we pray and pray what we live...thanks.

Praising and worshiping loudly also can drown by the Holy Spirit, it does scared the demon the heck out of them but thats just the expression in a physical ans spiritual because the way the person would chose to act. But only a true one is in our heart that is a physical from also because the heart mean the mind according in hewbrew the word lub or luv means the heart in Hebrew i guests that how you spell but the other thing that it means in the middles of your mind and all in the middle the mind of your brain is not a spiritual from but a physical from because the spiritaul from but has no locations because only matter has, but it your emotion that really get you on when shout and feeling all the joy and feeling God is holding on you that is the best feeling you might ever get in your life. I'm not really judging about the dead church, that was the truth the church can be dead not hardly any feeling that holy spirit is in the church but it look they stop God from moving in but still God is in there waiting to do something but they don't accept it from the energy to flow around, why. Because there are Catholic thats says that is a demon when they say such things but then again, is not. Why? Because it is the fire of the holy ghost and also there is a reason why that there is a such a thing a Catholic church that is part of the Charasmastic movement:embarasse
 
I love going to church, i love the worship, and i love going to the services, and i love seeing the evangalists and guest speakers when they come. I do find that the services, both sermon and worship, grab my attention and hold me there, but i would not say it's entertaining, but it does make me want a closer relationship with God. As for the music, i have seen amazing things happen during worship services, and we were using much more than just our voices, sometimes it takes the sound of music from a guitar, or from a piano/keyboard to get in that place of worship, sometimes just singing and hearing other people sing doesn't cut it. Durning these services though, we should be paying attention to God, and to what we are singing or playing, not the people around us, or the people on the stage. Music was created by God, and like all other thing made by Him, should be used to glorify Him.
