The devil's lie in Christian music

[Dash RipRock]

produce anything negative from the Bible about singing praises to the Lord

Praising the Lord is great!

Tucking in false doctrine in to so called "praise and worship" songs is the work of the devil designed to get people to accept false doctrine

You understand the difference right?

In order to understand the difference, people need to be knowledgeable in God's Word to be able to identify false doctrine.

Therein lies the problem. Most people don't know God's Word very well at all so it's easy for the devil to use so called "praise and worship" songs to plant false doctrine in people's thinking.

Again false doctrine….none specific.
Are your beliefs false…..so far all I have seen is the negative.
Over 30,000 Protestant denominations the odds are high that some of the them believe differently than you….But what makes yours true.
They are going to say they follow the Bible and lead by the Holy Spirit. Where do you get yours from?
Who appointed you to judge if people know the Lord…..So far you have not demonstrated a Christian spirit.

No your beliefs false…..

Ignore is a great thing to have. I would just like to say, that The Bible is more useful that any type of music. I do think that sometimes people with their mind will and emotions within their heart and soul. Can act upon things within music lyrics, especially the mentally unstable. Though even so, I believe it's a great thing that we have all types of different genres of music in life. I don't really believe the devil is in them though nessicarly, but evil for sure. There can be some really vile things out there, that are against God because they hate and do not want anything to do with God in the first place. There is a lot we have to deal with when it comes to our heart/mind/will our soul within us, which also merits the emotions it has. While all this is in place, it's a choice to look to God, and praise him, or simply choose not to do so.

Your Soul Is God-Given (Bible Study)

Hello, Your very soul is God-given. As God had made Adam (mankind) from the dust of the earth he breathed into him, and he became a living soul. Genesis 2:7 And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul...

Yes, there is no use in going back and forth a person for endless amounts of time, though it happens to us sometimes. I hope you have a good rest of your day, DRR.

Again you have given no scripture that talks negative about Christian music.
Totally negative about Christianity.
The title of this thread sums you up….The devils lie in Christian music.
You hate those that worship the Lord.
Hateful, rude, and disguisting.

Where there is no answer, expect none.

I'm backing out of this because it's useless. It's like arguing on Reddit, where you literally can't talk sense to anyone because they're paid connectors paid to change your mind, so if you say "the sky is blue" they'll continue 20 posts later explaining both why the sky is yellow and criticizing your intelligence.

Why even bother. I have real life stuff to do.

This is called "gaslighting."

This is called "gaslighting."

What he's doing is also called "projection" - accusing others of the very things of which one is most guilty.

I'm not sure who you're referring to, just because I haven't taken the time to read through all of it and I have been super busy today.


Either way, if it exhausts you mentally and you know you're not in a real discussion as much as a conflicting argument then it's probably not worth it.

I feel like the devil causes those kinds of disagreements that really don't matter that much just because causes contention and robs us of our mental energy - and also real life things that need to be done.

Very often, yes. Contend for the faith, absolutely, but endlessly arguing about it is, as you say, a waste of time - time better spent on other things.

At one point during my long journey with Jesus, i worked as a Station Operator in a Christian Radio Station.
Its interesting how God will use what you can already do, to lead you into the next step, the next season, or even into a ministry.
As for me, i had been a Musician since i was a boy...so, working in a Christian Radio Station as i was being trained in God's School of The Spirit... (and Seminary)...seemed fine by me. I loved it.

This Radio Station played almost exclusively, "contemporary Christian" music, except on Sundays when our Live Pastors were on.
So, we mixed in on Sunday some Traditional Hymns, as you would find in most, say.... Mainline Baptist or Methodist or Assembly of God, Hymnbooks. Not much........but some.

Most of the Artists we played were pretty young......as Contemporary Christian Music is made by musicians who are generally not more then 27ish yrs old........with a few exceptions.
We were a part of a Network of Stations that were related to the "Dove Awards" and any Top 20 or 40 "Contemporary Christian Music Countdown".

These days...... years and years later...I dont listen to RADIO anymore.. but i do listen to a lot of Music.....and sometimes someone will email me and "turn me on" to an artist or a song..(usually a song).....and it strikes a worshipful chord in my heart........based on the melody, and the Lyrics.

Ive been on A few Christian Forums , where i met someone there, who had a similar love for music.... and perhaps was a musician, and they would blow up my PM Box, with "you've go to listen to this" ..,links......and i didnt mind of course as it always good to feel that beautiful connection with another born again believer.

Here are 2 song that ive enjoyed for a while.

It's hard to believe anyone would listen to Hillsong who has some of the nicest sounding fake "gospel" out there!

I'm not passing judgment and I'm not accusing you of anything. It's just a question, are you casting judgment on someone for the sake of Christ or yourself?

So, I Googled the two Hillsong songs Behold posted, and I don’t see anything obviously heretical. What are you seeing?

 

[Lambano]

I used to listen to a Contemporary Christian station during morning drive time. Still do when going to church Sunday morning. I’ve heard songs that have inspired me to praise God. I’ve heard songs whose lyrics challenged me and made me think. (I’ve posted a few around here over the years.) And yes, I’ve heard stuff that was at best mediocre and at worst, insipid. Same for our official Methodist hymn book. You have good stuff and meh stuff. That’s just the way it goes. I can’t say I’ve heard any heretical doctrine.

They teach false doctrine. Are you a supporter of false doctrine?

Were you not aware that God's Word teaches against false doctrine and warns God's people to stay away from it???

Did you not see where Jesus said judge a righteous judgement, which is comparing what they say to what God says because what God says is righteous?

Maybe Mr Duck can have another bible study with you and answer these questions for you following biblical order

So, in the two Hillsong songs posted, which SPECIFIC lyrics do you deem to be “bad doctrine”?

The entire "ministry" of Hillsong is rotten with false doctrine.

The devil always uses small amounts of nice sounding truth to lure people in so advocating that others listen to Hillsong is placing a stumbling block before the brethren.

If you have no problem with causing people to stumble, then carry on.

Could you give some specific examples, please?

There’s a HUGE Problem with Hillsong and Bethel Music​

And for the calvinists in the crowd
