@theway4321 I am invincible with Christ as my saviour, no harm can come to me until He chooses for me to leave this world. (Quote from one of my pastors)
I see where you're getting at with the whole worship vs entertainment thing. I had a night weeks ago where a group of us got on stage and worshiped. We had instruments in our hands but we could barely play them, our hearts were all focused on God, not the song. THAT is what worship is to me.
@theway4321 I agree, but I think you got my point about the gun. :)
I also agree God doesn't want or need Satan's scraps, but I always figured it was just my personal bias that says "God doesn't like heavy metal *worship* music."
@BuckWilliams1 I was referring to the song, not the tools to produce it. Your post mentioned the "music" and "song" so I thought that was what you were referring to. Sorry, we weren't on the same page. In regards to the tools such as amplifiers, smoke machines,etc...I agree they can be used for good or evil, and entertainment vs. worship. I would not, however, agree that using a gun to protect my kid is good. I've got Jesus on my side - He's much more powerful than any gun.
@theway4321 I didn't say anything about taking something from Satan's realm. Amplifiers, smoke machines, drums, blue jeans, pews, tennis shoes, are all material objects and neither good nor evil. I think how we use a tool determines whether it's good or bad. Use a gun to protect your kid--good. Use a gun to rob someone--bad. Do you celebrate Christmas & Easter? Has any good come from these pagan holy days? I have no false belief all "Christian" music is godly or by Christians.
@BuckWilliams1 Yes and no. If you mean we can take something that had it's source in Satan's realm and turn it around to use for good because we are worshipping God, no. Why would God want Satan's table scraps? Think of it this way...In regards to Christians, did we become Christians because God changed us, or because we were crucified with Christ? Our "old man" was not changed - he was crucified, killed, destroyed, and removed. Therefore we are a NEW creation-not a regurgitation of the old.
@theway4321 I agree there is a difference, but I think some of it is also what WE do with it. How do we approach the music? Why do we sing that song? What does it mean specifically to us? Are we worshipping God or are we simply singing along to a catchy tune?
I love the Newsboys too :D and did anyone catch that part at 1:50 ? its great lol
