Last Post Since it is not the Dawn of the Sabbath here....
No I am not advocating that, though I have heard that argument before and from Calvinistic Fundy Dispy Baptist before...
(Including a family member on my wife's side who will remain unnamed)....
But to every lie there is a bit of truth... Here is the truth from that statement... Rock Music is traceable to Tribal Voodoo Pagan Worship that was brought over and incorporated into American Culture... It has nothing to do with low culture vs high culture or anything in between... It has to do with Satanic Demonic Voodoo Pagan Influences which was brought over.... And it is true that our society is in decline and I do believe that the ungodly culture including Rock Music has a part in it... What did Plato Say? "Let me write the music of the nation, and I care not who rights it laws" Oh How true that statement is.. It was written 2000 years ago and it is true the same today.... Rock Music is Sexual, but it is also Rebellious and it influences Rebellion.. It does not matter how many laws we have on the books.. Who ever writes the music of the nation will rule and control the masses....

No lie.
Is anyone advocating that here?
Also, what is wrong with music affecting our moods? Techno is very good to run to. We can put music under human use.
In the M river valley, guitars in church are welcome but not flutes, which are associated with pagan worship. In fact, if someone stubs their toe, they shout "bamboo flute" - i.e. taking the name of their flute in vain. Therefore, if the local church tried to introduce worship music with a drum...no problem....but the flute...... they would be severely opposed - because after all it is obvious that flute music is the devil's music! |
