However, it becomes a problem when it is pushed upon all Christians without exception. Why? Because Scripture nowhere substantiates such an inherent evil with a particular musical note, beat, or arrangement (again, divorced from lyrical content, sinful nostalgia, etc.). There are certainly folks who should stay away from certain types of music. But they may not push that on all others without exception.
Just as many folks should steer clear of alcohol consumption, but shouldn't push it on others. | Josh, let me just raise one question to test your reasoning here. Has it been proven without exception that cocaine (upon ingestion) impacts every person's brain negatively? What if someone were to claim that cocaine or heroin or cyanide did not happen to impact them? Can you categorically prove that this isn't so? I'm not saying I disagree with you on music --just wondering how much your argument would go to prove. | Reuben -- You may wish to read the link in post #25.
