Tell us what song you're listening to at the present time.
Did you know that different types of music create crystaline structures in water as it's freezing? Symphony classical music create crystals like snow flakes. Even soft rock like a slow Elvis Presley song created chaotic structures that resemble nothing. Hard rock and heavy metal create a mess. Guess what. We are made of water. Something like 80%. Music has a marked pronounced affect on who and what we are. Emotionally, mentally, physically and spiritually. Even so called Christian music can affect us negatively... Regardless of the lyrics.
By beholding we become changed... Even through our ears.
This is not a new concept. 6th century Greek philosophers knew this and warned people that morals are altered depending on what music they listen to.
Placing a twelve letter word, Christian, in front of the word rock, or metal, doesn't make it any more Christian than the 'Christian' tree stump in the paddock next door. Even though it gets baptized every time it rains. The concepts of Christian and rock are diametrically opposed to one another.The moral of the story, don’t listen to stryper if you’re freezing to death and water in your cells crystalizes...
Absolutely incorrect.

It’s lyrics and lifestyle of the artists that determine if a song is Christian, and not just because it’s loud.
I hate rap, but I don’t mistake my dislike of the genre to say there’s no such thing as Christian rap - because there is - I just don't listen to it.
Some folks love country gospel, yet the lifestyle and lyrics of many country groups or artists is worldly and sinful, making their songs ungodly, and not because of the genre of music.
Take a hymn like rock of ages, which at least one Christian rock album has done - it’s not Holy because it’s done with an acoustic guitar, but becomes sinful when played loudly with an electric guitar, with the same chords in the sand key, with the same tempo.
It’s funny that the media in the 80s had no problem figuring out Stryper is a Christian band, when they saw the lyrics, saw them do bible studies before each concert, saw them give the gospel onstage, and give out free new testaments to the audience - it was many in the “church” who accused them of doing something wrong.
The only thing that applies about sin concerning Christian rock, is where the Bible says if you think something’s a sin that really isn’t, then to YOU it becomes a sin if you end up doing whatever that is.
First, I didn't say rock music was a sin. This isn't a moral issue, it is a neurological and physiological issue that affects the mind which them can result in moral issues as the party of the mind affected is the pre-cortex frontal lobe, where moral decisions are made. If it turns to mush, your decisions are affected. Think sex, drugs, and rock and roll.Absolutely incorrect. There’s no such thing as a style of music that’s inherently a sin, of itself

There some nice genuine Christian music that is uplifting and reverent without the voodoo rhythms frying the frontal lobe. Music has body language... You just need to listen to it too discern it's source. Watch the video above. What spirit is driving those fellas?So the lesson here is listen to classical music?
