Do you listen to other genres of music or just Christian music?I would have to ask, like of any music, does it elevate Christ or self?

Do you listen to other genres of music or just Christian music?
The track in post #1, above, would be considered hard rock...Me neither although I'm not sure where rock becomes hard rock.
It's the lyrics that really count; the genre of music is more subjective...I think any genre can convey biblical truths.
Since hard rock is clearly a deviant (and devilish) form of secular music, Christians have no business with this kind of music.Who appreciates Christian hard rock?

Not yet, Ray's in the room with me and he likes the radio on.Did you listen to the lyrics of the track in post #1?
One of my favorite Dylan songs (and albums). Both slow train and when you gonna wake up are great (and Mark Knopfler is fantastic on lead guitar).I think any genre can convey biblical truths. One of my favourites is Bob Dylan's 'Slow Train Coming' but it's not hard rock.
Why would I? Even the hard rockers would object to *cultural misappropriation*.Did you listen to the lyrics of the track in post #1?
I think the lyrics are good; and communicated effectively, anyway.Why would I? Even the hard rockers would object to *cultural misappropriation*.

Agree
Most rock stimulates the carnal soulish flesh rather than lifting us up in the Spirit of worship.
I used to love rock...but then I grew up ( as Paul says) and put those things away.

My thing is I used to listen to hard rock, but not the kind that glorified Christ, now the stuff reminds me of someone from a long time about 30 plus years ago that I’m not to fond of.Agree
