Something in common with Christianity then (Satanic root = Mithraism)
Quote:As far as judging the music, we are told to prove ALL THINGS whether they be of Yahuweh, and that is not "more Satan's ploy".
Like Christianity
Quote:The lyrics speak for themselves. "Christians like this guy" is not "bashing" but merely exposing the culture because he loves the lost and wants to get them off of the HighwayTo Hell that has sent perhaps millions to their doom.
Like Christianity, that has sent billions?
I'd also rather say "destruction" than hell
Quote:One of Satan's greatest ploys is to take the heat off himself and his schemes that are being exposed and divert it somewhere else.
Like taking the heat off Christianity for example? One of Satan's biggest schemes along with Islam.
Quote:And one of his favorite targets is Christianity.
I wouldn't say he attacks Christianity - the Christians within Christianity he already has under one of his many schemes.
Quote:However, Yahushua has an ekklesia called Philadelphia. Some of them may not know the true Names, the Migra, Sabbath, etc., but they love Yahushua with all their hearts, minds, souls, and strength, and they love His children. And He loves them and has nothing but good things to say about them. I believe Joe Schimmel is one of these, for Yahushua says you will know them by their fruit.
But that is one example out of 2 billion people. And I believe I can quite honestly say that I have no idea about the rest of the 2 Billion either. "Dishonest hypocrites" are left outside the walls of the New Jerusalem, not kept within it.
What Robski's, and my point, is that whilst some bands might have Satanic roots (I've never liked the Beatles or Rolling Stones), they are nothing compared to Christianity. At least Rock 'n' Roll isn't claiming to do something it doesn't do - it does not
doloo the Word of God - it does not
Add or mix human traditions to the Word of God in order to twist, corrupt, debase, adulterate, ensnare, weaken, mutilate and change it so that people can be mislead and deceived.
Christianity on the other hand does do
exactly that, yet claims it doesn't.
That is Satan's biggest ploy brethren - getting people to believe that lies are truth.
Rock n roll doesn't claim it's in the business of saving souls.
Christianity does.
Edit: Just something extra to say:
Quote:"Christians like this guy" is not "bashing" but merely exposing the culture because he loves the lost and wants to get them off of the HighwayTo Hell
I'm sorry, but he is just another example of Christians trying to remove the speck of dirt from someones eye, when there is a huge log in their own (Christianity).
No one within the bounds of Christianity can judge something else for being "satanic" and not be hypocritical.
As Yahushua says in Matthew 7:3-5
And why worry about a speck in your friend’s eye when you have a log in your own? How can you think of saying to your friend, ‘Let me help you get rid of that speck in your eye,’ when you can’t see past the log in your own eye? Hypocrite! First get rid of the log in your own eye; then you will see well enough to deal with the speck in your friend’s eye.Before the guy from
www.goodfight.org started his campaigne against 'Rock n roll,' he should've removed the log from his eye before attempting to help those under satanic influence within Rock and roll.
As Paul also says in Romans 1:28-2:3
Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, he abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done. Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip. They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents. They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy. They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too. You may think you can condemn such people, but you are just as bad, and you have no excuse! When you say they are wicked and should be punished, you are condemning yourself, for you who judge others do these very same things. And we know that God, in his justice, will punish anyone who does such things. Since you judge others for doing these things, why do you think you can avoid God’s judgment when you do the same things?Christians condemning other people and religions for being "satanic" are only judging themselves.
I actually see more satanic influences in Rap, Pop, Rnb and Jazz a lot more than within Rock n roll, which actually compromises hundreds of bands, not just the 60 listed on
www.goodfight.org (one of which (Alice Cooper) is now a Christian and has been for many years! The guy from goodfight.org is now condemning one of his own).
And also, out of hundreds and thousands of Rock n Roll bands, Pop artists and groups, Rap artists and groups, Rnb artists and groups, he has about 60 bands that he can "expose" as having Satanic influencies. To be honest, that's not a lot.
I find it hilarious that U2 is within that list. Absolutely hilarious.
Edit #2:
Why is it we always seem to argue when it comes to threads about Music?
