i think he has a point....since when is it NOT spiritual to be romantic? I've seen people so concerned about being spiritual they forgot to be human....what's that about?! Being so heavenly minded you're of no earthly good, where does that get you?
@allybald Uh huh, so what Scripture would you use to lovingly encourage a fellow believer to quit smoking for example..."Thou shalt not smoke"? That's not in there either.
But seriously I draw the conclusion from James 2:14-17. Be blessed!
Another so-called artist that has found a way to test the waters of secularism and package it as gospel. Years ago this man would have never sat there with two earrings in his ears. Whatever happened to the world wanting to transform to the image of Christ via the church instead of the other way around?.
@jimboski65 Nah, Fred has found out that ministry actually is outside the 4 walls of the church. Yeh he's got earrings but so what. How many people has accepted Christ through his music. Many people won't go inside of a church because people judge them for what they wear, how they talk, etc.. If we are the Body OF Christ...
Got this Album over the weekend and it touch my heart in so Many ways Had to Get the Album for My husband for V-Day cause no way was I going to allow him to keep my Copy!! Thanks for thinking of Us Fred GOD Used you on this!! 4 REAL
I just read that the disc album is primarily gospel tracks while the second disc us addressing relationships. Seems okay to me, does not sound like he's trying to market it as a secular album. To be honest, we really don't address this aspect of christians enough.
The failure to address the issue of intimacy as a whole (not just sex) from God's point of view is precisely why marital dysfunction runs even higher statistically in the church than in the world.
No need to debate, but I submit to you two questions to ponder: if God did not mean it to be addressed, why was it placed in the Bible? And if you do not approve of Fred's approach to the subject matter, do you have a better way to get God's message across here?
I disagree. I think, as a church, we don't talk and instruct on this areas of our lives enough, and that leads to Satan slipping in and manipulating this part of our lives, because we don't prepare ourselves or address this area enough. He's right, we skip over Song of Songs and the romantic aspect of our Christian lives, but God gave us those instructions for a reason. I don't see how he is "backsliding" addressing this area of our lives.
@lizjhu Fred Hammond was taught by PAW, Apostolic Faith which is Pentecostal Holiness and Apostolic. He knows better. TD Jakes may not know better, but Fred Hammond does. I know the anointing on Fred Hammond's life. "No Weapon" helped me when I was contemplating suicide. His songs got me through the hardest times of my life. He is an anointed Psalmist for the Lord. Not a secular artist. This is wrong for him.
@MiracleRevival90 this is wrong? let me get it straight... you're saying singing about love is secular? cos the Bible talks about a woman's body and love and all that! Is that secular too? Remember it's meant for marital love.
@experiment0003 This is being sold as a secular album. Not a Christian album. And if you are referring to the Song of Solomon, that book is about the search for the perfect man or perfect woman and not being able to find the perfect person. The only one perfect is the Lord. Otherwise, we would not need Jesus if man was perfect.
@MiracleRevival90 No it's not. It's a Christian album... nothing wrong with what he's singing about... you say Songs is about the search for the perfect man or woman and this is about maintaining a relationship that God has ordained! It's not about lust, it's about love. What's wrong with singing about love? uh? Will you not fall in love and marry (if you haven't already)?
@experiment0003 Charisma Magazine stated in an article that this is a secular album. He basically said the same thing here in a way. I won't get into why it's wrong. But Fred Hammond knows why it's wrong because I know what Apostolic Holiness churches teach...and so does Fred. He is backsliding. I will pray for him. You don't understand.
@MiracleRevival90 that's utter bullshit! That's exactly what he was talking about when he said church folks! What Apostolic Holiness churches teach is nothing other than their own doctrines... just like Jehovah's witness, 7th day, protestants, Anglicans, Catholics and so on have their own doctrines. PJ Morton says it best in one of his interviews addressing the same issue! Search for "pj morgan's response to critics".
I read the Charisma article. You are twisting their words!
@experiment0003 First. Watch your mouth. Second. It's okay to disagree but learn how not be disagreeable. It's classless and tasteless.Third. As I said, you don't understand and I am not going to debate with you. Last, much known, much required. Fred Hammond knows more than alot of people out here singing gospel and more is being required of him by the Lord. PJ Morton is Baptist. Baptists do not have the level and depth of teaching that apostolics do on these issues.
@MiracleRevival90 I apologize for my language. But it's simple.. you try to make it look like what Fred is doing here is any different than what's on Songs Solomon. He is not promoting promiscuity or fornication. It's supposed to be between married couples... nothing unholy about that! That's what SOS is about. Even TD Jakes has a love album out titled Sacred Love Songs. We (Christians) shouldn't do this to ourselves. We act all holier than thou.
"I just want to talk about what I feel about love from a God perspective. And so the name of the new CD coming out is God, Love, and Romance." This is going to be a very real album. And it's not secular because secular means "outside the Church". Awesome.
Wow...this is awesome!!!! Fred Hammond is a truthful man of God!! This interview is really blessing me. I feel like I need to know that others are going through and have been through what I going through. I'm scared of starting over, but God help me to move forward.
I've been waiting on this project for a looong time, Fred is my ministeriel hero as well as my musical one. Thank you Fred for you being so candid, God bless you and your ministry.
