i've already been banned from one christian fundamentalist forum, since you people dont have any tolerance for opinions that differ from your own. i wasn't being rude or anything.
anyway i read in the other forum that you consider disobeying a greater authority a sin. do you agree with this?
also, i've had an argumen with a friend weather you think rock is work of the devil or not...
and what does the bible say about drugs and alchohol?
 
I voted no.

I think drugs and alcohol give satan/hate a place to do its work.

Is this a Christian Fundamentalist Forum? I thought it was just Christian.
 
I just noticed about the disobeying a greater authority....is it a sin.

I don't know. I suppose it depends on who the greater authority is. Disobeying God is a sin.
 
Please define "Rock Work".

As to authority, we submit to God and earthly authority (as long as there is no conflict). Look at Daniel's example. The only time he willingly disobeyed the king is when the law against praying was instituted.

Here's a hint for you---starting your first post on a new forum with an accusation of "you people don't have any tolerance" is decidedly rude by most standards. When you start out antagonistically, how do you really expect to be responded to?
 
There were not enough choices in ur poll. I would say that most rock especially today's rock is inspired of satan. A lot and especially early rock like 50s, 60s and less from then is not of satan. If u r in tune with God, He will let u know what is acceptable.

I wasn't sure if "rock work" referred to rock music, rock carving, or something else. But on the subject of music, any type of music can be used by Satan. It can also be used by God. You are not going to get many teens to a gospel music concert, so if God has called you to witness to young people, you need to be open to what God tells you to play. This is true for anything that a musician pursues, worship included.

Music is also used as entertainment and this is where I believe the church has really dropped the ball. If we don't provide quality entertainment (music, movies, books, etc.) then Satan will and has. If rock music (or any other type of music) is of the devil, it's because we let it happen.

I heard a speaker tell this story of a missionary who's kids where playing Christian rock music. A former witch-doctor-turned-Christian protested to the missionary that the beat of the music was the same as he used to use to call forth evil spirits. The speaker used this as an argument against Christian rock music.

But didn't Jesus give us authority over evil spirits? Personally, I say, "let them come, I've got something I want to tell them!"

Bottom line is to do what God has called you to. Never look to man's approval, but do not despise wise counsel either.
 
God can do some pretty amazing stuff if we let Him. :wink: And praising God with any music is acceptable. If you are gifted with Rock, not only can you practice it, but you are obligated to use it praise the Power that gave that ability to you. Just, as with every other form of music, don't let it override your commitment to God to be an upstanding person, holy and pleasing to the Lord. 8-)
