thankfully the vatican salvaged the sda some time ago..we woulda never heard dougs caveman story..whatta testimony of turning away that family fortune to preach under a false doctrine..kinda freekie..minimal teaching on repentence if any..but MANY sure do love to hear the sda doctrine..i sure do though its error. makes my ears feel so good. pitty lifes temporary & judgement awaits..DANG! plus im without excuse..especially by knowing yet not heeding. case/point = just read the post just below .

@dubvishun a bit incoherent but God Bless U!

@siclucky Hey I got a question. I have a friend on youtube who is interested in hearing what a Seventh Day Adventist is. I was wondering if you have a video that is simple to learn with like an introduction to Adventist.

[siclucky]

@austintex117 thats great to hear....you can check out my page I have a bunch of stuff from various pastors....I also have a sermon entitled: Who are the Seventh-day Adventists by pastor Batchelor that would be a good place to start.....(ww.youtube.com/watc­h?v=1PI5cq-ThVo) God Bless!

@dubvishun your out there bro. Im not SDA but thier doctrines are solid and biblical. The reason you dont believe them is because you wont follow true doctrines of the bible.

I do agree with Doug, you do have to be careful. Not everything is of God.....but we also have to give God the very best and that includes music. And I will start joining the seven day Adventist church real soon.

[zumba924]

I come from a Spanish background and we have such beautiful Godly music. I don't see why it has to be somewhat dead. why make it boring? My God invented music, he deserves the best. Why should the devil have music that move the person in a certain direction. Why does it have to be just one culture's way of singing....I don't know about you, but I love to sing to the lord within my heart and soul. and it doesnt sound boring.

@WakeupFreinds ...."Good Spiritual Music" begins in the heart of the composer and CAN blossom in the heart of the hearer. However, the hearer's interpretation of the song does not grant spirituality to a song but the "spirit" is born in the hearer's heart; not the music.

[jwin1123]

@WakeupFreinds I don't question his musical ability or knowledge of music that is most familiar to him. I am not angered with anything he said; BUT his assertions are myopic. His words support a cultural taste of musical purity. It is only cultural not factual as presented.

[WakeupFreinds]

@jwin1123 your kidding right "his limitations in musical knowledge" u say..Doug seemed to have a fair good idea on not only how to play some instruments, but he spent his childhood with his mother, while she wrote songs for well known singers. And this is not the first time I have herd this been said, and there can be such a thing where whole nations have been lost to the meaning of good spiritual music. Look at most of the world now days and tell me it isnt spiritually dead with the wrong music

[jwin1123]

Enjoyment &spiritual appreciation of music is cultural &personal. He referred to 7,11 songs (same 7 words repeated 11 times); what about Hallelujah Chorus from Messiah? Definitely 7,11. He's suggesting that only hymns are spiritually strong music--not right; but it IS in line with cultural perspectives. Also defining types of rhythms as appealing to the extremities while other rhythms appeal to the waste area is absurd &reveals his limitation in musical knowledge--affirmation not information.

what about jazz? many jazz musicians were christians and jazz cant be any more syncopated

[theotherside70]

Historical correction: there were Classical concerts where there was violent behaviour and police had to be brought in. Also, minor keys are used in a lot of cultures' music; it is not always the case that minor=sad, and major=happy; the concept of major and minor is not inherent in a lot of parts of the world.

[theotherside70]

I like his presentation style; quite endearing. He has tried to be fair. I have to confess I skim watched, so my comments may not accurately reflect his content, but 2 things I picked up on: 1) he compares 'Praise & Worship' to the traditional hymns; they are not to be compared- they are 2 different styles; it is not the number of different words in a song or the beauty of the language God is looking at. Remember the parable where the Pharisee prayed in ornate language, the publican (continued)

[jwin1123]

Interesting points. Tenor of sermon is true but it is wrapped around opining. Ironically, this is more a feel-good sermon, much like some of the music he is describing; affirmation not information.
