Leaven is symbolic of evil. So you are saying modern Christian music is evil (the metal genre in particular)? Only God decides what is evil. Show me the scripture from God that tells us modern Christian music is evil and telling us before which date non-evil music must have been written...

Then by your logic everything has to be avoided because almost everything was being done before we were Christians. I simply can't agree with your application of this passage. Considering the biblical references to the use of music to praise God (in which the descriptions of it certainly sound...

Exactly! I totally agree! If you have a personal conviction that (for whatever reason) it's not for you, even if it's just personal taste, then it's not for you. And like you said, no reason to condemn others who do not have the same personal conviction or taste. By the way, I'm not a big...

Ok, you say you've heard demons to know what they sound like, and I believe you. I've heard other testimonies of hearing demons as well that match what you just said. So if I look at everything you've said here, you say Christian metal sounds demonic. Then you said demons sound like humans...

No, but I was responding to your statement that Christian metal sounded demonic. If you are talking about sound, and saying it's a demonic sound, that has to mean it sounds like a demon. I was trying to make the point that you probably can't really mean that because you probably don't really...

Ok, what does a demon sound like? When was the last time you heard one and which Christian metal band did it sound like? See, I think this is really a matter of taste and preference than it is that it truly sounds like a demon. I know that's kind of a figure of speech, but really, those...

Didn't say you were. But anyone who makes a blanket statement that all music of a certain genre such as Christian rock is all of the devil is a legalist. I don't think I remember you saying that.

Legalists.

Sounds to me like you picked up the word hola somewhere and stored it in your subconscious memory until you needed it, and then it just came blurting out. It probably is one of the most common Spanish words you would encounter (outside of perhaps taco and burrito :lol) When I was married to a...

You are quoting me on stuff I never said and then arguing against me on these things I never said as well as arguing against me on things I actually agree with you on. This is like having a conversation with a schizophrenic so I'm through with it.

No, never said that. I just have this idea that God will take care of me somehow. I'm surprised you are so insulting when I thought this had been a nice conversation where I was presenting an alternative viewpoint. This is a ToS violation.

I simply don't understand what point you are trying to make. Maybe it would be better if you would just say what's on your mind.

Mandatory means mandatory. I didn't put any qualification on the word. So far it's been nothing but rumor spread by fearmongers. As I said, I tend not to worry about this kind of thing. God is going to do His will whether or not I am worried about it. And the only people that I've heard...

:confused

I don't have time at work to watch a 50 minute video. It would have been helpful if you would have given us a synopsis. But as for the microchips, I've heard a lot about them being mandatory and it always seems it turns out to be nothing more than a rumor. I really tend not to worry to much...

The same way we keep any commandment without failing. We don't. That's why Jesus had to die to grant us forgiveness. I don't see what this has to do with the thread.

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment" (Matt 22:36-38, NIV) Notice Jesus didn't say the greatest commandment was to go to all...

Sadly this seems to be true in the churches I visited or inquired about around here lately. I don't think it's a good reason to not go at all, but I have to admit lately I've given up. This is primarily a rural area with a few small towns dotted around it, so choices are limited compared to...

Ther is one about 3 miles away that I attended for a while. But sadly the speaking in tongues without translation issue got in the way for me. Especially when one of the pastors made it clears that speaking in tongues was pretty much required if you were anything more than just a baby...

I'm not so sure the things you've mentioned here are necessarily unscriptural. These things are really more a matter of opinion where scripture leaves no clear answers and, maybe, the choice is actually ours with no preference by God. As for what traditions and teachings have eventually led me...
