First of all,as far as Christians go, I think I am very open minded and willing to discuss issues without trying to force my beliefs down anyone's throat. Furthermore, you chose to watch this video; nobody forced you, I did not solicit you to watch it. I am not imposing my beliefs on you. Finally, I do not go to your videos and spew hate speech. I would appreciate the same from you. Good day sir.

Why are you walking in the rain lol... iBelieve Jesus approves of hip hop if it glorifies him & spreads the gospel.

[thepastormike]

It was not actually raining at the time, but I think it had been earlier and was still overcast!

I'm not trying to stir up drama or anything like that, All I'm saying is that I have been Christian for 17 years of my life, and attended several different churches. and have learned and gained so little, It makes me wonder because i have a couple friends who are religious and the Christian religion seems so far fetched and like a complete load of shit. God's sun appeared on earth and died for our sins... and all we have for proof is what some 80 year old farmer wrote in a book. think about it.

If I listen to secular hip hop then no. it would not be something that Jesus would listen to because of its content and meaning. (Sex, cars, money, drugs, etc) On the other hand, if its gospel rap, rapping about what he did on the cross for us and about glorifying him then I'm all for it and I believe Christ would be too.

Some of todays Christian rappers such as Flame, Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tedashi and crossmovement are for real about Christ. Their lyrics brings God much glory. Amen?

I was confused like you, too. I had to STOP the mental tug-of-war --

And take responsibility for myself and my actions (AND what I support/listen to/watch)

Does Christian Rap music outline or describe any actual real solutions? Does it help anyone do anything but just "feel better/not so bad"?

Can you absolutely know that your answers to those are 100% true?

All that is needed is common sense and control of breath

i think music is a gife from god and sometimes people take that gife and use it for evil. all genres of music god created but he didnt create the evil in genres of music. if im praising god through rap....yup he hear me

[johnwaa]

The music is for us, I do not believe there is such thing as christian music, it cannot get saved, Christ came to set us free to save us, not music, but when we sing we praise God, even our fleshy bodies are not saved none of our organs, brain none of that, it is there to help us praise God tools.. Music is a tool, and is not a christian, it is not Christlike, but yes music inspires us, you still have to becareful of how the music is influencing our emotions...

[LavonTheBlessed]

I think it is ok because although gospel hip hop cannot save us,it can get us enthusiastic about Christ. The ones i listen to tell me not to waste my life,make war, and stop thinking that Im smarter than the Awesome Creator.
