John 17:16 (speaking of Christians)
They are not of the world, even as I am not of it.
Romans 12:2a
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Psalm 98:4 (King James Version-KJV)
Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all the earth:
make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise.
Psalm 150:5 (King James Version-KJV)
Praise him upon the loud cymbals:
praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Titus 2:11
For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people.
Acts 1:24a
...“Lord, you know everyone’s heart.
Romans 10:10a
For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified,...
1 Samuel 16:7b
The Lord does not look at the things people look at.
People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
1 John 4:1-3
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
Mathew 15:18a
But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart,...
Luke 6:45b
For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
1 Thessalonians 5:19 (referencing the Holy Spirit)
Do not quench the Spirit.
1 Corinthians 9:19-23
Though I am free and belong to no one, I have made myself a slave to everyone, to win as many as possible. 20 To the Jews I became like a Jew, to win the Jews. To those under the law I became like one under the law (though I myself am not under the law), so as to win those under the law. 21 To those not having the law I became like one not having the law (though I am not free from God’s law but am under Christ’s law), so as to win those not having the law. 22 To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some. 23 I do all this for the sake of the gospel, that I may share in its blessings.

How can it be evil when one is screaming God's name and praising him out loud? Amen.
Ima Bjorkman the Pharasies whipped them selves threw ash on their heads and cried aloud for all to witness. As an act of Worship, falsely..
Amen
@@tedshryock7569 Pharasies had no relationship with god or Jesus and as long as we do that's what matters. I only listen to worship or metal worship. And have a strong relationship with god and hear him better than many.
I recommend The Crucified band listen to them the Crucified album released 1989
Good and evil can sometimes be relative to a person. If you are someone who simply thinks something is evil because it's loud then to you it will be evil even though it actually isn't. But if you are also someone who thinks something is evil just because it's loud chances are it's simply because you are probably just old lol.
I am a new Christian...Formally a Satanist,,,,But being able to hear Christ instead of Satan in a form I am used to is awsome!!!
Welcome the Metal-Cross Bro! Nothing but Christian Metal on this channel, with the lyrics in the description of each video. Hope you like the channel!

You've got a great back-catalog to check out being saved now mate :-7
Will Youngblood praise God.
welcome to the family, bro. I'm still trying to figure out if my old taste in metal of various genres fits with my personal walk with Jesus, but one thing I know: God is omnipotence and metal conveys power. which is a cool connection to me.
GOOD FOR YOU BROTHER!! JESUS IS THE LIFE, THE WAY AND THE TRUTH!!!
Christian metal shines the light of the Lord into a genre that is dominated by dark and evil imagery. Is this not what we as Christians are called to do?
Preach :D
I don't think Christian metal makes sense, like an oxymoron. However you do have a good point...
Metal isn't evil learn ur history a lot of metalheads choose that dark imagery because society decided to ignore the wrongs of the world people only talked about good and metal decided to talk about what people would ignore
@@maverickjohnson1399 Christianity in itself doesn't make sense. I don't question the concept of "god" or "gods" but the way to interpret and teach it and today there is no religion that doesn't interfere with modern teaching and knowledge.
SneakingMilk
Amen
I was brought into orthodox Christianity through Christian black and death metal, bands like crimson moonlight, antestor and mortification inspired me to pick up the bible and regain my faith I lost when I was in my early teens.
wooow 👊 amazing! Praise to God!+ Cheers from Poland! God bless You!+
Amen 😎
Check out the band Crush Evil. Antestor in the early days.
it's only evil if it's not heavy enough (: lol
Charles Benson for then it is simply a blasphemy! JESUS SAYS CRANK THAT SHIT TO 11!! PRAISE GOD!!! HAHA!!
Shadilay McKek Well I don't think He would say "shit" but sure, blow the speakers and the eardrums ;))
lol
*deep growls AAAAAMEEEEEEEN!!!
Haha rock on dude amen
Jesus walks up to the temple ... sees moneychangers ... cue Christian death metal XD
Carter Pierce instead of using a whip he uses a guitar!

I love Christian metal and I'm a pastor.Oh and I also play in a Christian rock band and love praising Jesus in my way!!!
that's so cool Pastor. God bless your Ministry and and your music
Paladins need marching music AND battle music 🎶
Nice
you have got to be the most level-headed reasonable Christian I have ever heard speak.
Wow! Thanks. I appreciate the kind words.
Thank you for visiting the Metal-Cross channel and Blessings!
come have a chat with me brother :)
May God bless everyone !!!
you haven't heard many then
@@basedbane787 that was the sentiment
I will never forget when my mom heard me listening to The Devil Wears Prada. Like any concerned mom, she wanted to read the lyrics. She came back later and said, wow that is not what I was expecting.
just had a thought about the "Growl like a demon" example... wouldn't you say Satan is very clever in how he tempts people? think about it. Many of the evil things in society have a good or pleasing appearance. A pretty face leading to impure actions, materialistic things we do not need, but make life more convenient, etc.... the point is temptation and Satan hide as something that seems pleasing (for example the pop music today that is often about sex and drugs)... so you can't really say screaming vocals sound like a demon.. just a thought!
exactly, like how would sum 1 even know it sounds like "demons" because if they never heard a demon how the fuck can they say it sounds like demons... people watch too many movies man.
amen!
i think the best way to decide if its satanic or not, is to see how ur feelings respond to it when u listen to stuff that ur unsure about. For example when i first heard Tithemi by Sleeping Giant, i cried cuz i could relly feel christ in this song. I have never felt so clear about a song. And since then i can fully trust my feelings when it comes to music :)
Best way is to check with the Bible
@@thorgefalk3575 Exactly you feel the presence of the song whether it promotes anger/sin or if the song is truly for God.
What makes a band Christian or not? Band's don't accept Christ, people do.
+Big T Welcome to #METALCROSS! You are absolutely right! People accept Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, not bands. It's a personal decision. There are Christian artists who play in secular bands and non-Christians that play in Christian bands. So the definition is what the band members decide as a group...what their true message is all about. Here at METAL-CROSS, we only cover bands the proclaim they are a "Christian" band. That doesn't mean that every member is a Christian (although usually that is the case), but that is how the band has decided to represent themselves. Thanks for visiting the channel!
Blessings!!
but aren't band members people or are they animals ? destroyed that .
For example, tom araya of slayer is a catholic (not Christian but still)
Evil? Nope. How can it be when the music is basically another form of praising the Lord? Everyone has their own way of worship & connecting with God. Whenever I listen to metal or some other obscure music genre, I'm constantly amazed by God's creation in the things he's given us.Yes, heavy metal is part of God's creation. It all depends on how or who we use it for.
cyberxspeed Chyeah. I hear more God praising lyrics in Metal and rock than I do in any other genre. That includes country.
CHECKOUT my channel for UNIQUE Christian Metal, Rock, Rap, All you need to know is the members of the bands have their heart intent set on God and gloyifying him through their selected choice music UNLIKE Main stream music that is about liqour and fleshly desires ultimately music worshiping Satan because your with God or your NOT
Secular metal is better
Internet Addict
eh..nah.. secular metal doesnt have the "spirit" if you ask me. no pun.
La Cid I don't mean disrespect towards non secular music, I just prefer to not have religion involved.
Impending doom is such a good band. Glory to God. Jesus is Lord
AMEN!
They’re my favorite Christian band!
I am not Christian but Christian metal is the best genre. Black metal talks about suicide etc. but Christian metal provides with a sense of enlightment and motivation.
Respect metal cross from India.
Yeah dude I agree, I am Christian and starting my Black/Unblack project right as we speak and the amount of "hmm's" and "oh can that be Christian" are quite amazing, but I practice resilience so my answers are usually "pssh yes of course!" But for sure check out (all Christian) - Vials of Wrath, Like Dust, Azmaveth, Antestor, Anima Mortuum, Daygraves, Crimson Moonlight, Frosthardr, Skalf in Veum. That's my Black/Unblack go to's!
To those who argue that Christian metal is evil because it sounds like secular metal, then does that mean Christian hymns are evil because they sound like pagan hymns? Give me your best shot, fundamentalists.
Several Christmas carols use plagiarized pagan melodies and sometimes even some of their lyrics. There is no genre which is free of pagan, satanic or anti-christian artists, but conversely there is also no genre which is entirely pagan, satanic or anti-christian - not even black metal.
Because for some reason people think that "lyrics are music". Last time I checked music is "notes and chords" played by all of humanity.
o my if ur heart can't hear the difference between evil n good of this evil spirit u need to run not walk to a bible believing church and repent and get right with God i only say this because CHRIST JESUS CHRIST who died for your sins is your only chance for salvation from eternal fire. not sure if you will hear the truth i pray you do...research hell u may change ur mind its an awful place to spend eternity...why would anyone want that
I'm A Fundamentalist HeavY GospeL MetalisT. What "shot" do you want? Are You Pat Benatar?
@@cvolpe2968 Who are you even talking to?
This is true. Many Christian hymns used folkloric music and just used christian based lyrics. "O Holy Night" was literally created by an Atheist and its still sung in Churches all around the world and no one gives a damn. So how can I judge a Christian Metalist if in their heart they believe they're doing the right thing to reach people of the metal crowd? I mean I can't see Christian Metal being a thing in a regular church service due to lack of reverence. Cuz lets be honest none of that is reverent in any way lol But if it can point people of that crowd to Jesus how can I outright condemn it?
I watched another video about this topic and it brought up a good point. If metal is considered "evil" because of the aggressive riffs, distorted guitars, double bass, and "evil" sounding scales, would jazz and sax music not be considered Satanic because of its "sexy" sound?
+Vladislav Zolotov And it was.
+Vladislav Zolotov well it only few subgerne of jazz are that way. after all has to be independent of culture where first sound said when first hear it they says that sound sexy. with heavy metal the first words out there mouth is sound like sound like your going to war or it sound like war.
yes
Jazz is cool and i dont know how anyone could target jazz as an antiChristion thing, but metal can be both ways.
the angry chilli well I might be repeating some subgenre of jazz was made to sound sexual. the song why won't you do right is good example.
Thank you so much for making this video! I grew up in a Christian home but walked away from God at the beginning of high school and went down a very dark road. I also went to a stereotypical Christian school that taught that anything that involved an electric guitar was sinful music. I got into the secular metal bands when I walked away from God. But after an experience where I couldn't deny God anymore, I came back but I couldn't escape how much I enjoyed the music I had filled my life with. At the same time, I knew that this music does not glorify the God who adores me and calls me son. So I got into Christian metal and experienced a lot of persecution from brothers and sisters who considered it bad. This video is exactly what I try to explain to people.
+Benjamin Anderson Thanks for your encouraging words! Praise God!
Blessings Bro!
Music is music. It's how it's used and the message that is projected that makes it good or evil. If Christian metal brings at least one person to Christ, then the endeavor is worth it.
Christian metal is like "we walk in the dark to serve the light."
Amen
I mean shoot all I ever dreamed about was having an all girl metal group called "Eve's Regret" so this makes sense to me.
That would be cool! Thanks for watching the METAL-CROSS channel.
Blessings! #metalcross
Great name!
I know this is an old comment but I wanna see this so badly because I myself would like to be in a band one day, that's why I play guitar.
Wolves at the gate's music is full of the Holy Spirit for sure.
I second this!!!
I have cried all the way through several albums repeatedly, out of oure joy and thankfulness for what Jesus Christ did for us and tears of sorrow for my sins.
Honestly in my opinion, as long as we do something to GLORIFY the name of the Lord, our Heavenly Father will approve of it. It's just simple as that. Whether you decide to accept it or not is entirely up to you. Nothing more nothing less.
Praise Jesus I'm a metal head and I love my Jesus praise his holy name
People just judge by appearance and what they see.
But God sees the heart of these metal bands.
Thank you for sharing this metal cross. I've been enlightened because I'm confused if I'd go metal. I really love that kind of music. I know it's not pleasing to the ears of many people but what important is that we Praise Jesus out of our hearts content. And that's the most important, the heart and the intention.
Jairo Micko Rigon Some people will never understand, that worship flows from the heart...in all forms.
Thanks for visiting METAL-CROSS!
Blessing brother!
Let me tell you, I used to listen mostly to secular metal before becoming a follower, and after I accepted Christ I immediately realized that the music I was listening to was evil. (trust me some of that stuff truly was evil) I felt convicted about it and deleted all of it off my phone and laptop... etc. I started listening to just mainstream big Christian radio station music, and all that stuff is fine, but God didn't wanna change who I am, a metal head, He wanted to use who I am for His purpose, for His glory. I discovered the Christian metal scene, found some great music and have felt strengthening of my faith, deeper repentance and good conversations and friendships through it. There is freedom in Christ to use all sorts of things to praise the Lord, to glorify Him and advance His kingdom. I recently went to a For Today show, I was jumping around, moshing, head banging, and absolutely joyful in my heart for the Lord about it, and thought to myself how David danced with all his might for the Lord, and didn't care how foolish he seemed to others, as told in 2 Samuel, chapter 6. There is definitely liberty in Christ, and the difference now from what I was before becoming a follower is that I used to listen to metal because I was full of anger, misery, lust...etc. but now it's more like I'm full of passion for the Lord.
This all does not happen over night, it's taken me a few years to gain this understanding. I'd advise being in prayer about it, talk with some other believers at your local church about it, let the Spirit of God minister to you in the things you should do, but don't let yourself just settle against your convictions.
Well said Bro!
Blessing!

When I first became a Christian I was looking for more secular thrash metal as I wanted challenging lyrics as I was trying to form a secular dark thrash metal band in the vein of Testament and vocally inspired from TOOL.

This world will hate us for our love our Christ. Just like how metal cross said we are not of this world. Music can bring us together..
I love his Demon Hunter shirt!!
The Lion of Judah roars through me!
Christian Metal! Is something that fills me with the Holy Spirit! Because I am able to rejoice with all my strength to just give Honor & Glory!
To the most high!!!
There is a new single I was listening to day over and over! 🙌🏼
I was just jumping up and down rejoicing in our Lord Jesus Christ 🙌🏼 The song is called
“Lowborn by Wolves At The Gate”
There are many people who enjoy heavy metal music that Christian metal bands produce. There is nothing wrong with any music produced by committed Christians who desire to communicate biblical truth. The Christian heavy metal music deals with the dark themes of death, pain, and spiritual warfare from a Christian perspective.
While there are some who feel that the heavy, rhythmic bass, frenetic percussion, and high decibel levels of metal music have a negative effect on a person’s spiritual self, that is a controversial view without evidence. Unless the lyrics celebrate sin, the music itself is not sinful. This applies to Christian heavy metal music as well as to country, jazz, rap, pop, reggae, bluegrass, etc.
The problem with Christian heavy metal music is sometimes one of association. In the hands of the unsaved world, heavy metal almost always embraces death and pain and suicide and drugs and anger (metal is very rarely “happy music”). Believers have to be careful not to get sucked into the culture of nihilism and antisocialism that metal usually promotes. While it is true that pain and death are a part of life, the key to overcoming those things is not anger or suicide or revenge. The answer is the gospel of Jesus Christ (Romans 1:16). There is nothing in the Bible that praises or glorifies death in the least, so neither should our music. Lyrics that violate biblical guidelines or celebrate or exalt sinful conduct are not appropriate for Christians.
With any kind of music, including Christian heavy metal, we must ask, “Is the music glorifying Christ, or does it glorify anger, lust, demonism, or some other sinful thing?” The style of the music is really irrelevant. It’s what the music communicates to our hearts and minds that matters, either through lyrics or even through the notes and instruments themselves. No style of music is actually “wrong”; it’s what the musicians do with the music that makes it either “right” or “wrong.”
Regardless of the genre of music one listens to, the believer is to exalt Christ. Philippians 4:8 gives us the description of what should be on our minds: “Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.” If heavy metal produced by Christian musicians falls under this description, then whether or not you listen to it is simply a matter of musical taste.
Wow couldn't have said it better. This is great.
I am so glad I found this channel, I am a Christian and love my metal music. This channel has shown me some great bands that also have a great message. God Bless
Thank you! And Merry Christmas!!
Merry Christmas to you!
Amen
Christian metal is for the people that enjoy heavy music like myself:) #headbangforjesus
man I just stumbled on to your site about 12 hours ago and I love it. when I gave my heart to christ back in 87 I was turned on to Petra, Stryper, and a little heavier Deliverance.(at the time) and what was explained to me was that it was all about the message and the praise of Jesus. where I got a little skeptical was the heavy vocals and driven energy of the riffs and hyper tempo with heavy pounding breakdowns pounding down. I realized something important. in our day and age we need to spread the word of god through any portal available. your testimonials are legit and your page has turned me on to bands I didn't know existed. Thanks a whole bunch.
we need to find a way to get Nodes of Ranvier back together. just saying.
I am a Christian, but,"Been listening to metal for so long that ever Pastor Bob thinks that my mind is gone." Recently found Christian metal and I love it. It allows the release of so many built up emotions, but from a different light.
Impending Doom, Texas In July, August Burns Red, Demon Hunter, Gideon.....and more. All Christian metal. I love them all. But I also love Carnifex, Slayer, Whitechaple, Thy Art Is Murder, Suicide Silence and many more.
"Impending Doom, Texas In July, August Burns Red, Demon Hunter, Gideon"
None of those are metal bands.
raoulduke25 GET OUT.
raoulduke25 You want Metal? Frost Like Ashes, Hope for the Dying, Living Sacrifice, Vardøger, Antestor, Soul Embraced, Sinbreed, Golden Resurrection, Wintersoul, The Burial, Antivenom, I could go on and on..
Fit for a king is a good christian metalcore band
Crimson moonlight!!!!
thank you metal cross may everyone who was involved in making this possible be blessed by the almighty lord.
You could say that a tone-deaf person singing a hymn or a child playing "Jesus Loves Me" on the piano for the first time is just "noise" too. It's about perspective.
I could post the lyrics to several Christian metal songs on my facebook wall, and they would look the same to all the older conservative church ladies I'm friends with as the Christian-radio-acceptable contemporary praise and worship songs. (and I still love you, older, conservative facebook friends)
The first time I heard "screaming" in a Christian song, I was taken aback a little, but I realized that it added to to emotion the singer was trying to convey. It was a raw, desperate sound, and perfect for the song's message of crying out to God to bring them back from the darkness. It helps to know that in your darkest moments, someone else has felt the way you feel and in that moment, called out to God. More traditional songs might touch on those dark times in our lives, but I think the difference between the genres is the same as "showing" verses "telling".
I know I'm a little late here, but this was truely a great comment! May God bless you:)
I don't even see it as a tool, these are guys who are just doing what they love doing. They love metal and they love God.
It's not complicated.
I love wolves at the gate
yea
Same here too
GUESS WHAT???? GIDEON IS NO LONGER A CHRISTIAN BAND!! You know why???? They have been traveling all over the world and no longer want to be locked up in a box. "On their aptly titled fifth full-length album, Out of Control, the band is no longer allowing themselves to be put in a box, sonically or topically, to fit what is expected of them." They want to be part of the secular scene now. WHY? You tell me METAL-CROSS. LOL!
Life Without-
Here are some lyrics to one of their songs:
"So that's it, over in an instant
In the end, is it really just, dark and distant?
Life and death, held by a single golden thread
One moment you're here, and the next you're not
You fucking disappear."
Would Jesus mosh? In 9 Fruits of the Spirit one of them is self-control. Do you see self control in the mosh pit? What about "Gorship"? "Repentagram"? Sounds like a cult to me. "We are the children of the age.
out of control, out of place, we will demolish this religion that you have made.
We will battle for our kingdom, we are more than conquers."
Like I said, 1 of the fruits of the Spirit is called "self-control". O yes and don't forget about LOVE. "Wrath" and "feel my rage...." (Impending Doom) Not convinced at all. Where is the love?
While you were cherry picking you forgot to add some verses after 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
Allow me: 24 Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? So run that you may obtain it. 25 Every athlete exercises self-control in all things. They do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable. 26 So I do not run aimlessly; I do not box as one beating the air. 27 But I discipline my body and keep it under control,[b] lest after preaching to others I myself should be disqualified.
"feel my rage...." (Impending Doom) The band is selling t-shirts with this phrase.
"War Music"
(Impending Doom)
"Feel the power in the message
This is war music....."
To minister we must have self-control. Where is the self control in the aggressive lyrics? We are to minister with love in our heart!!! That is what Jesus taught us!
I'm with you on the moshing. However, "aggressive" lyrics are not a problem if they are not directed toward anyone in particular. We do not war against flesh and blood, but against rulers, authorities, and the dark spiritual forces in heavenly places. It seems like we have a license to be aggressive against those things. I cannot speak for the band you mentioned, but I fail to see how aggression in-of-itself is a bad thing.
Matthew 16:25 Ministries Thank you so much for your kind response. Sometimes I come off a bit strong but am passionate about the Word.
Galatians 5:22,23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.
James 3:14-18 But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. 15 This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. 16 For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. 17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. 18 And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
Jesus taught us about love not anger. For Christians there is no such thing as righteous anger. Of course, we get angry but we are not let it take control of us. Remember one of the fruits: self-control. Getting angry leads to sin. I understand what your saying, been there done that and all it does is lead you down a dark lonely path. Meditate on the Word and let Jesus calm your soul. We are to turn the other cheek.
Let all bitterness and wrath (θυμός) and anger (ὀργή) and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. (Eph 4:31)
But now, you must put them all away: anger (ὀργή), wrath (θυμός), malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. (Col 3:8)
What did Jesus say to Peter when the soldier was about to take Him away?
The Spirit of the Sword-defense against the rulers, authorities etc BUT WITH SELF-CONTROL NOT ANGER. Anger/aggressive behavior leads to sin.
The principal weapon at the enemy’s disposal allowing him to gain ground in the spiritual conflict is not power but deception. Thus, if the basic strategy for Satan’s spiritual assault is spreading lies, then the most potent weapon we can wield in the battle against him is its opposite: spreading truth WITHOUT ANGER/AGGRESSIVE BEHAVIOR! (not shouting at you with anger but with passion).
“be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self which…has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth. Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor…” (Eph. 4:22-25).
@@WishfulSinful1969 A bit late to the party, but am I understanding correctly you are implying not being able to control yourself is sinful? Being angry is sinful? Shouting and screaming and making noise is sinful? Would you say Jesus acted sinfully when he got angry, screamed and shouted upon seeing what had become of his Fathers house (John 2: 13-25)? I have found peace, joy, self-control, love and happiness in knowing Jesus Christ is King, as proclaimed in many heavy songs I enjoy. This NEEDED to be shouted to me, after being haunted for years by repetitive worship songs and lyrics, numbing me. Also, not all worship music is glorifying Christ or God.. Have you ever heard some of Ghost's softer music (f.e. He Is)? If you didn't, please never do. I'm trying to get that sh*t like that out of my head for two years now. My best wishes to all of you, JESUS IS KING
@@eert221
You state: "......am I understanding correctly you are implying not being able to control yourself is sinful? Being angry is sinful? Shouting and screaming and making noise is sinful? Would you say Jesus acted sinfully when he got angry, screamed and shouted upon seeing what had become of his Fathers house (John 2: 13-25)?"
I never said not being able to control oneself and/or being anger is a sin. Not implying those things at all. Getting angry has the potential to LEAD to sin! Being out of control LEADS to sin. Jesus of Nazareth who was like us in every way yet without knowing any sin (2 Cor 5:21; Heb 4:15), we acknowledge that his anger was PURE and RIGHTEOUS, with no taint of sin.
James 1:19‒20 : Know this, my beloved brothers; let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
We are to sing with joy in our heart to the Lord (Psalm 95:1) NOT anger. Reread about the 9 fruits of the Spirit, not one of them states anything about "wrath" and "anger" and out of control mosh pit behavior. What do you think Jesus would say if He walked into an Impending Doom concert and heard all the lyrics and saw the dark images on the walls? Actually He reads hearts so He already knows. Brook sings in one of his songs, "the venue is our church....." Do you think Jesus would be thrilled about all the dark imagery presented in "THEIR church"?
@@WishfulSinful1969 Thanks for further explaining your point of view. Everything earthly tends to lead to sin, so I'm not suprised whatsoever that when looking for sinful things, you will find them. However, is life about finding sinful things or about giving praise to Jesus, finding Him, and tell others? Why try to dim the light in the darkness, when it can brighten the entire room (or concert hall)? Personally, I experience mixed feelings about certain imagery as well, and I wouldn't take part in moshpits, but to say it is sinful and doubting God's power to work in ways beyond human understanding is sinful and judgemental in itself. Maybe I've confused anger for passion, as they seem very much alike. Maybe you did as well. Wishing you the best!
I'm sure Jesus Christ rocks his had to when he hears people praising him with a rock metal heart sound Christ loves Metal praise Jesus
I'm not sure copying the world and slapping a Christian label on it does anything for God. If I'm wrong on my opinion and the is the case, then let's slap a Christian label on beer, hard liqour, porn. Have you guys forgotten that satan rules over music and is not limited to the bands that are open about it and flash imagery around, not limited to metal. Will he not use Christian metal bands as a guise? I'm not sure actin, lookin and soundin like every other metal bands will does the job of leadin the lost metal heads to Christ. Lyrics to not matter, but it's the spirit behind the music that should matter.
+CivicSTS you are so right. I don't care for the harder stuff. but I do like bands like bloodgood, and sonic altar. many of the 80s metal Christian bands. I like stuff like accept and manowar. that's my true kind of metal. that metal sound. Christian metal bands that sound like deah, thrash, etc. im no too fond of and don't know if their truly Christian.
Music don't mean nothing the word means something especially God looking at the heart people do things for business but God sees everything and he knows the heart
I like Stryper Christian band
Mike Ledesma stryper wore black and yellow.
wiz kalifa made a song calledblack and yellow.

WOW! This is awesome. I like how you opened up with Murderer! XD There is one song by sleeping giant that I love is called Tithemi. The lyrics are nothing but telling all evil things to bow down to God. When I do hear that song I feel relieved knowing that my problems and habits are much smaller compared to God.
+Jacob Lein So true :)
Blessings Bro!
You really open my mind in this video. Thanks God that this music exists for His Glory.
I'm Christian and I really love the music but I also love God !
I am a christian and I listen to a lot of metal, regardless of the message I love the sound.
I am an christian and i was listening to deathcore. I wasn’t listening because of lyrics but because of melody and sound. Now i tried a christian metal and was really happy that I did. Btw really nice video keep it up.
"Is God so weak that He can't use metal for His purposes?" Best... words... EVER. JESUS created metal and can do with it as He sees fit! >:)
Matt Moores white people ruined music and made metal evil.
Nino Blarrow No need to pull the race card
@@RayalWorldConz is there even thing called black metalhead
@@mirokuusjarvik3439 no, not that I'm aware of. Lol.
Where in the Bible that God created the metal and hardcore music?
Christian metal saved my soul 29 years ago!!! I don't care what you say this is just a fact
I'm 47 and became a Christian back when I was 14. I stopped listening to bands like Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and began listening to bands like Petra, Jerusalem, Stryper, Deliverance, Bloodgood, Bride among other bands which, by the way, were highly competitive with secular bands and brought in a good size fan following. But I also listened to Amy Grant, Russ Taff and other more Gospel centered bands. So please allow me to give my testimony as a former Christian vocalist and revolutionary artist.
My name is Jason Fessenden. I am merely borrowing my mom's login for this post. Listening to Christian metal back in the 80s was much different than listening to it today. But the same arguments against Christian metal have not changed. These are the arguments I faced as an artist. So this issue is far from new to me. But let me just back track and give off how I was influenced back to the secular metal scene and why it had more appeal.
During the early part of the 90s Christian metal was still doing great!! Though I would eventually get into Queensryche which would become the band that inspired me to become a vocalist. I didn't give up listening to Christian metal at all. I just accepted one secular metal band because the music was great and the vocalist was unstoppable. But as an artist you reason that there isn't anything wrong with a secular influence as long as you write lyrics that glorify the Lord and that is a fair argument to make. So we all agree that lyrics do matter.
When the Seattle grunge scene began something happened in the entire music scene which changed everything. But even worse, it changed Christian music in general. This new sound would dull down Christian music and leave it naked and useless for ministering to anyone. What competition we gave secular bands was now extinguished by the dullness of alternative sound. Petra put out dull music, Amy Grant put out dull music, Bride put out a dull album, and every single band I listened to had become dull in sound. But, there was still Queensryche and I also got into King Diamond (couldn't resist the vocals and music). But there were Christian death metal bands out there so I got into them. This was a bad idea since it wasn't long and I was into Unleashed, Obituary, Morbid Angel and later Emperor etc., etc. But that was not all I accepted or listed to. As a vocalist my new favorite band would be this little Dutch band from Holland called The Gathering. As an artist, who felt strongly and passionately about melody and the quality thereof, Anneke's vox set a new standard which I understood and would, as a male vocalist, include as a major influence to how melody is approach from the more Jazz/classical way which had more hooks than a tackle box!! In fact, I still listen to Vuur, Anneke's new band. She is a revolutionary vocalist and one Christian artists should of paid better attention to! But I would get into Nightwish as well. I loved all bands with this new classical and melodic approach to metal because it brought me back to my much more Christian roots (as in Europe, music and vocal training came from the Church). But as an American I would fail in my career without even getting a start. I had become a master in the art of singing and coming up with melodies that had just as many hooks as Anneke or Tate. I learned quickly to adapt to this European scene.
The American music industry completely collapsed and is now gone with no ability or music professors capable of training new artists. All talent is in Europe and we have no talent here left in America and no one to train new musicians. Its that bad. We have lost the art of melody and singing isn't even appreciated here in America and only here in America is the art of singing GONE from metal and other popular music. Rap is the most popular music young people listen to and most young people don't even listen to metal.
So over the years this argument has been in the recesses of my mind, coming and going, but never going away. I have discussed this very issue with many metal fans back when Nightwish has their big forum. Every single member of that forum all agreed that Christian music should sound Christian and if there were any bands that had a sound similar to Nightwish and with their talent level, they would probably listen to it. But every member of that forum laughed at the idea of Christian death metal or black metal because it is laughable subject matter.
Back to death metal sounding music and any music that sounds hateful, like a Nazi murdering a Jew or something like these hardcore metal bands sound like. These artists may not write bad lyrics, but they accomplish nothing. They don't bring in a large audience and Christian metal music is strangled from the lack of holiness in the sound. I am convinced beyond all reasonable doubt that unless Christians embrace the holiness of the Holy Spirit, they will not change anyone. I have scene so many Christian death metalers eventually get into the occult and atheism through the gateway of Christian death and hate sounding metal. Today I go back and listen mostly to artists like old Russ Taff like the Wall of Glass album and old Amy Grant albums like Age to Age and Straight Ahead. I now see the need of holiness in the music I listen to.
You wanna change the world? First be changed by the grace of God. For what good does it do for your own soul to growl like demons or yell like Nazis killing Jews? What is so wrong with a heavier sound that captures the true spirit of the church? After all, music and vocal theory were gifts from the church and this rebellion against all things church isn't helping anyone. So I challenge every single Christian artist out there that if you want to change the world then you better find for yourselves an outstanding vocalist, way above average, and a band that will not hold that vocalist back from singing strong melodies with more hooks than a tackle box! So first go out and grab your tackle box for fishing. Open it up and look at the hooks in it. If you music doesn't sound like the inside of your tackle box looks, then you are accomplishing nothing,.
The best songs ever written and enjoyed by the majority of music lovers, were songs with singers singing great melodies. This is nothing old fashion or over the hill, and if it is then music is no longer an art that can save anyone. For indeed, if there would be a Christian meta band here in America, that was capable of competing with Europe's elite bands, whether the band had a male or female front man, and this band knew how to write music well, you better believe this band would bring in a multitude of music lovers from everywhere!
So now I am going to post a video from the Finnish band Nightwish, who, by the way, is not a Christian band. But they sound more Christian than all the Christian bands of today's era put together!! Now I'm not posting this to say people must sound just like Nightwish. Learn to be your own artist and capture a vision that will bring Christians together and also bring in new people to Christ. But this screaming, barking, yelling and growling isn't saving anyone. The secular scene is so dominant now that the Christian scene is considered extinct....nonexistent. So check out this video, though somewhat lengthy, because it shows Christian artists where we could have been but fail to capture.

This is so good. A nice tool use for the purpouse for teambuilding to start a Metal music ministry. Is it ok if I use it and show it to my friends in the Metal House ministry in Sweden?
Yes, absolutely. Feel free to show, share, download...whatever you like.
Blessings from the U.S.
Thank you! For once in a while I feel like I can go out with the bands I like an say there for the lord and have something to back it up.
A prime example of a tested spirit within the Christian metal community was As I Lay Dying. They make me heavily research bands before I get into them
Well... This guy gets it... Even made me cry a little bit... Now... That's metal...
the Bible said that all that which glorifies God is good and only that which is good will glorify God. glorify God in your music, in your life, and in your heart in everything that you do and you will never go wrong!!
Amen!
considering this music brought me back to reading the Douay-Rheims Bible + Challoner Notes, as well as praying regularly, and carrying my Rosary, AND bringing my family back to the catholic church, i'm pretty damn sure it's not evil. thank you for making this Video Metal Cross.
The way I see it, these metal bands are using the metal music to reach lost ones who love death metal music. But then again, I still say be vigilant with wolves in sheep's clothing. But you have made good points though, I'll give you that.
My faith in God is lost...I've been kicked out of many churches... metal is me screaming for some kind of salvation......thank you for opening another door for salvation.....
Please never lose faith I assure you are loved by Christ and he has died for your sins so that you may be washed clean!
I love how he is wearing a Demon Hunter shirt!
Does anyone know the name of the song Impending Doom is playing at 4:24?
Music is "Notes & Chords" - Lyrics are "Words" - Why is this even a question? Music is created by God for all of humanity. Words are what corrupt His gift to us.
Thank you for this , I can not stress enough how important it is to spread the word through all avenues in life and this channel is a blessing.
God's voice is like thunder and lightning waterfalls together I believe his voice shakes creation
I think that judging Christian rock music by the way it sounds is like judging someone on the outside and not judging the inside.
+Jordan Fire Star oh, everyone that says Christian metal is bein judgmental. they limit God and box Him up. do you really think this is actually Christian?take a look at this video, maybe put on mute. with no audio, can you even tell the differene? it looks like every other satanic metl bands.the headbang doesn't look Christian one bit, take a look at the way they behave.but I cant say that because I would be judging.c'mon dude stop defendic this satan worshipwatch?v=9WS6Zp5KkIs
CivicSTS It LOOKS like what some satanic worshipers do, but it doens't really mean they are worshiping satan. There is NO where in the bible that says a certain type of rock music is bad, and no where says rock music is satanic. Take a look at the lyrics to the song "I stand" by "We as human" (There are too versions youtube search "I stand lyrics we as human" then click the one that says "Lyrics" and listen to the lyrics. It's clearly worshiping God and saying "
Why should I be ashamed to talk about the God that I know is real, or about how sick I think it is when babies are killed, or the fact that evolution is just stupid and wrong, I didn't come from a monkey but believe what you want. I believe that Jesus died and he is risen again, I believe he will burn this world down in the end. I don't care what you think about me or what I say, I mean every word so why should I be ashamed?
That's the beginning of the song's lyrics. Please tell me how it's "satanic" I don't really think satanic music would sing about Jesus and not being ashamed of him.
Jordan Fire Star it only looks evil and satanic, but its not actually satanic.
Abstain from all appearance of evil
1 Thessalonians 5:22
I think they failed that part.
Christians are supposed to stand out, to not conform to the world.
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
Romans 12:2
I think they failed that part also.
Jubilee Bible 2000
Take away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy instruments.
Amos 5:23
And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
2 Corinthians 11:14
God gave satan full control over music, it was intended to sing praises and worship to God.
pride came and causes hit to fall, think the movie "scareface"
pride comes before the fall.
when satan fell, he took music with him. satan, bein corrupt, he no longer produce beautiful music. satan is VERY skilled in music, and to ruin music
I'm of the opinion that he hates music and just cant stand it. I think metal as a whole is a good example of how satan ruins music.
GOD pretty much gave satan the earth, he didn't want GODS way, he wanted to run things and GOD let him.
there are Christian metal bands that have satanic symbols and inmagy
the rePENTAGRAM is just a modified pentagram by the look of it.
disturbed "believe" album cover has what looks like the rePENTAGRAM.
now, remember satan is cunning and decietful
could Christian metal be influenced?
"as I lay dying" lead singer says the Christian
part is just a front, he also got busted for getting a hitman after his wife their behavior is not at all Christ like
I really don't think Jesus Him self would get tattoos or pierce his body and headbang.
would Jesus behave like the wordly metal bands
I don't think He would at all behave like that
people claim that it couldn't possibly be satanic because they slapped Christian on it. some say there is nothin wrong with Christian metal, they preach GODS word amd play metal to attract people on the other side of the fence. why would any Christians partake in n event called "hellfest"
I also look at "the serpent servant.
why the symbolism.the devil. forget the lyrics, its the spirit behind the music.
satan will stop at nothin to drag us down to share his fate,any way he can. that even means music. why wouldn't t he not use music get us. if lyrics are takin out and the music be compared.
Christian vs secular it would all sound the same.
ld it be that they are sayin they side wath satan?
these are just my thoughts and POV.
+CivicSTS Hello. I like how you used bible verses to describe your point on this. Just an observation if I may. 1 Thes. 5:22 doesn't have anything to do with a persons outward appearance. Actually, the New King James Version (NKJV) changed to "every form of evil" to better convey the true meaning of the verse (which other translations had already done).
"Abstain from every form of evil." NKJV
"reject every kind of evil." NIV.
"abstain from every form of evil." NASB...and so on.
Not judging the outward appearance of someone is what God and Jesus have always instructed. To do so, is simply bigotry.
1 Samuel 16:7b
"The Lord does not look at the things people look at.
People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
I want you to know that I agree with you that just because someone slaps Christian on it doesn't make it so. But you and I are not the ones to determine that. Only God knows our heart and only He knows a true Christian (follower of Christ).
Mt. 7:21-23;
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
Determining the spirit of a person in which they create their music is mentioned in the video.
Symbols and the like have no Satanic power. A Ouija board is a plank of wood with some ink on it, BUT it can be used for evil purposes. Is the Ouija board itself evil? No, of course not. A Tarot card is paper and ink. It is evil? No. If I go to a palm reader to get my future foretold, is the palm of my hand evil? No, BUT I would be using my body to allow Satan to influence me.
Too often the body of Christ is divided by some denominations "rules of purity" which are not in God's Word. Ever wonder why there are so many Christian denominations? Seriously, they all claim to be teaching from the same bible. So why so many?...unsubstantiated rules of purity.
Anyway, good talk (sorry, I know this was long), LOL!
Blessings!
It's not the Genre that matters. It is what's in the lyrics.
Exactly
You who made this video will have a special spot in Heaven and I love you, everything you said was true
i live and breath metal and i'm a christian , metal christian music is a blessing for me and my way of life , and who says psalms isn't metal songs they sang back in the day
I AM A FULL TESTIMONY. BEFORE I WOULD LISTEN TO EMPEROR, MAYHEM, DARK FUNERAL, ENTHRONED, DEICIDE, IMPALED NAZARENE ALL THOSE EVIL BANDS UNTIL ONE DAY SOMEONE PREACHED ME JESUS WITH HEAVY METAL MUSIC AND THEN MY LIFE STARTED CHANGING AND IT TURNED ME TO 360 DEGREES AND AFTER THAT WOW!!! I BECAME A CHRISTIAN LATER ON IN LIFE.
That is AWESOME! Thanks for visiting the Metal-Cross channel!
Blessings!
The Lord says praise me with every instrument everything you do must reflect me.
I agree. I like metal music and have for a long time, and I would rather listen to Christian metal than Satanic metal. The sound of the music is arbitrary, only the lyrics matter. Actually, only how the listener interprets the lyrics matters. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, after all. Now as a member of the Church if Christ, I personally don't want metal in the church service, but I don't think its a condemning issue that is going to really matter, so if you use metal in your church, more power to you.
We must do everything we could to win others,this really knocked me down,thank you,Jesus is lord
Thanks a lot for this video. Too many people in my church and family claim that Metal Can't be christian because other bands are Satanic and that somehow makes all Metal automatically guilt by association.. I'm gonna show this to them this video to maybe open their eyes a bit.
You nailed it in the head, i try to tell others this, but my words fall on deaf ears, pray they realize this
Well presented, biblically-based information.
To the weak I became weak, to win the weak. I have become all things to all people so that by all possible means I might save some.~ 1Corinthians 9:22
I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.
~ Romans 14:14
Be careful not to worship the music, the band or the talent ... all worship must be directed towards the Lord Jesus Christ.
Israel was healed by those whom looked to the bronze serpent that was placed on a pole ~ Numbers 21:9 Then after many years perversion occurred in the usage of this symbol of God's healing power, where it was worshipped rather than the Creator!
Israel later after many years called the serpent Nehushtan and worshipped it as the god of healing. ~ 2 Kings 18:4
Let us continue to reach out to our different regions and cultures with the love of God without compromising the true good news of Jesus. Pray for one another.
Let each heart be directed as only the Holy Spirit can lead each as He is our Shepherd.
I have nothing against any music if it has a good message. At the age of 52, I grew up in the 70s and 80s. Not a Christian at the time, during the 80s, I was really big into secular hair metal. Now that I am a Christian, I do listen to Christian music, but am just as likely to listen to Pillar and Disciple as I am to listen to Matthew West and Jeremy Camp.
I agree with this guy. It's another way to effectively minister to people.
Everything we do with heart and soul is pleasing to our God.
This spoke to me, I'm a rapper but I yell when I rap and rap about some things that are demonic but at heart its more so a warning and relating street life to the after life. I like to think of it as i'm making good music, helping to spread him and get paid for doing what I love, I even named myself Yahweh as my rapper name to spread his name through out the world.
im not even a christian but i am not a Satanist but this is really interesting to learn and good on you dude
Love that Demon Hunter shirt dude!
LOL! Thanks. Got lots of them :)
You good sir Metal-Cross are awsome ! Blessings from Poland !
Thank you for the music you post, it's really nice to see a variety of Christian music styles that are so different in style but united in worship! I was just wondering if you could recommend me any Christian bands with slightly softer vocals, more like MCR or Evanescence because I love their style of music but not always the lyrics behind it (I know they're not exactly metal as such but not far off).
God bless!
I been a headbanger for a long time.when i was a teen, I remember that the more evil the band the better. I am 47 now and my view of life has changed. But there is a hardcore group of people that will never set foot in a church, especially young people. These Christian metal bands might be the only tool you have to reach these people. The thing is that they shouldn’t just play to Christian audiences, they need to tour with the evil ones in order to reach those people that don’t attend church. So if you fight with each other the other side wins.
Gloria a Dios, Jesús vive en mi corazón.viva el rock y el metal🤘🤘🇦🇷❤
This video has rekindled my love for Christian Metal music. I've been a huge fan of several Christian Metal genres, lately as I've been listening to the bands (Impending Doom, Sanctifica, Horde and many others) I've been feeling a slight sense of loneliness, like I wasn't meant to be listening to those bands. After having watched this video, I know I should be listening to these bands, they all are amazing and they all show me that God is real, and they strengthen my love for God. This video has helped me, so I just want to say a huge thank you to Metal Cross! This was awesome.
Welcome to the MC family Bro! Thank you for the kind words, to Jesus be the glory!
Blessing and love.
METAL-CROSS I saw last night that you replied to my comment, which I honestly was not expecting. Seeing that literally made my night, I tears up and had a one on one conversation with God, which was something I really truly and honestly needed. For that I want to say a huge thank you again to Metal-Cross this is now my favourite channel and my favourite video for keeping my faith together and keeping me on track. By the way I love Psalm 150: 5 "Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals" it describes perfectly the sound of these Christian Metal bands, their sound and what they are doing.
Romans 1:16; "For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile."
We will stand tall as a family, brothers in Christ and warriors in the Lord's army of light. In righteousness and love, because we have been forgiven.
Was encouraging a fellow Christian one day about some things and we began a long discussion... what grew into a friendship. In passing I mentioned making music and we shared a few moments in that discussion, and he wanted to know what kind of music I made... I gave him the name Renascent and told him to read the lyrics before listening to the music. He either did or did not, but he still refuses to speak to me again. That's not all the music I make or listen to and enjoy, but I can say I have found myself in a place of worship from both sides of the spectrum, moved to tears from messages on both sides. We have to remember even '"praise and worship" music can become an idol if we exalt it above God in our lives. The Living God above all else, and everything we do is still created but I believe God made music and the ability for it - the evil one can only mimic and pervert, never create on his own.
*Edit* Regardless - I don't think the "black" and "death" terms should be shared. White metal, sure. Life metal? I don't really stick specific labels on anything I do, primarily because I don't what what it "technically" is, but also because I like what I like, and don't what I don't. I don't care if it's "metal" or "folk." Confess that Christ is Lord in your heart and music, and it's Christian. Just don't try to exalt it above the Most High.
my advice to any Christian is this....if your playing it for HIM he will take any form of sincere worship if it's metal black metal rap or yodeling he will accept it. with that being said any high horse Christian or hellbound devil worshipping hopeless...mind your business and let people do as they wish because only they have to answer for them not you!!!! metal for life more power to ya fellas jam on!!!
I like metal and Im a Christian. I feel like there is a good mix somewhere in there that most people cant find. Im looking for intense soundtracks without the vocals sounding like justin beiber that has a good message, weather thats anti war, or Christian. So far ive had good luck.
Just bc somebody doesn't write music the way you do that makes them evil?
Thanks for the powerful message....
I love that ..

It is a good way for convert atheist and satanist metalheads but not play this in Church, there is a place for everything.

@@rociomarino7811 Thank you man, spreading the World is a thing, in fact one of our duties, but even if I love metal music I know that Church music must inspire other feelings, that metal doesn't inspire.
@@giganticitalianbodybuildin1584 Exactly i think the same 🙌🏻 God took me away from rock music and heavy metal in its vast majority, there are things that I keep listening because I think they do carry God's message correctly and transmit something good, the lyrics are Christocentric etc, but I think heavy is chaotic and violent music, there are some rock banda who know how to do something good but, not everyone. I'm not going to condemn christian heavy metal, but as you say, each music has its place. and the lyrics may be good but if the music sounds violent I don't know ... to reach people who don't believe and like metal well, great, but one must mature and know how to put things in their place. Cheers 🌝👊

I am judged by my mom on the music I listen to but I am judge by many Christians because of this symbol but why I am of YHWH JESUSCHRIST is my LORD
Praise God!
Blessings!
I actually have an ongoing argument with my mom on this. I went looking for Christian heavy metal and found Impending Doom. I am now falling for deathcore.
Daniel Flores Hopefully the argument is just a disagreement in the style of music you prefer for worshiping our Lord and isn't creating a rift in your relationship. Don't forget the 5th Commandment; "Honor your Father and your Mother." :0)
Daniel Flores what is that
METAL-CROSS don't worry, I meant it as a debate.
Satan doesn't own any genre of music. However, praise and worship of Jesus can be used by any Genre of Music. All praise and Glory belongs to our Lord and savoir Jesus Christ.
You guys should check out Wolves at the Gate. Just type that into the search bar in RUclips and watch some of their videos and read the lyrics. The lyrics and music will blow you away!
can any body recommend me some cristian power metal bands.
+santos vargas Divinefire, Narnia, Theocracy, to name a few.
Corey Finney thanks man those bands are really good. I already had listened to Narnia before I love their music but I did not know they were christian..
+santos vargas Check out Rob Rock. There are two of his videos on the channel...Metal-Cross.
Blessings!
METAL-CROSS Thanks dude. Rob rock is awesome I especially enjoyed their song ..only a matter of time..by the way I just subscribed to your channel ..thank you and I hope you upload more christian power metal ..
+nacho freak27 I like Demon Hunter, but I don't think they can be considered power metal.
95% of Christian death metal bands or Christian metal bands in general teach Roman Catholicism without even knowing it if they believe that Saving faith is by definition perseverance if they believe a constitute element of genuine faith is perseverance if they believe that those who do not have genuine faith will eventually fall away because their faith was not saving Faith but a spurious faith and if they believe that their decision is not from salvation but from religious persuasion they once held or if they believe those who have saving faith in the Gospel of Jesus Christ will indeed remain Christians to the end this is work salvation and this is what most people believe in the Christian metal scene
You're also teaching false doctrine if you do not believe that Jesus taught that to inherit eternal life one must practice good moral conduct. The protesting of "works" by Protestants against Roman Catholics is a facade, and a double-layered deception for the easily deceived. Paul's only mentioning of works is according to the Law of Moses, in which his audience believed they could obtain good judgement from God by keeping. He never contradicts the message of Jesus, which is to keep His commandments. Faith alone is found in just one place in Scripture, but it is negative. The fact we have a doctrinal creed saying salvation is by such, is spurious error propelled by Roman Catholicism and those who protest Roman Catholicism.
Brad will you are teaching work salvation because you believe that to inherit eternal life one must practice good moral conduct and keep Jesus Christ Commandments to be saved instead of just trusting him alone for everlasting life and that he completely paid for all our sins when he died on the cross for our sins he was buried and was raised from the dead on our behalf one time and we are saved forever 1st Corinthians 15:3-4 Romans 1:16 Romans 3:22 Romans 3:28 Romans 4:5 Romans 11:6 Ephesians 2:8-9 Ephesians 4:30 2nd Corinthians 1:22 2nd Corinthians 5:5 Titus 3:5 Galatians 2:16 Galatians 1:8-9 make that clear and James was not written to Christians but to the 12 tribes of Israel concerning the tribulation period according to Paul you are cursed and not saved by teaching that. Believe the good news before it's too late
"trusting that He died on the cross for our sins" is a far more Roman Catholic understanding. Many of the doctrines of Protestantism are based on the foundations laid by Roman Catholicism. I find your "protesting" of it quite immature. You don't understand how much your own theology is based on it.
You twist Paul's writings. His main audience is Jews who would understand salvation as being the obedience to the Law of Moses. He has to wrestle against this misunderstanding, but many, even today, are on the "other side of it", and misunderstand him from the "other direction".
Jesus should of told the rich young ruler to just "trust in His certain future death" to inherit eternal life, but He didn't, did He? Did Jesus not understand Protestant doctrine? Or further back from that, and close to His own time, Roman Catholic doctrine?
Jesus always taught obedience to inherit eternal life. Don't be so immature in thinking you can claim I am "cursed according to Paul for teaching that". Dull theology. Not by faith alone, that is anti-RCC heresy, not Apostolic doctrine.
I am saved because I trusted Jesus Christ the son of God Alone to save me believing he died on the cross for my sins and he was raised from the dead on my behalf that's it without having to repent of all my sins be water baptized keep the law do good works continue in the faith or endure to the end. to have these requirements is to add to the good news of the grace of God which is what you have done
Tyler Heidenreich And there is nothing that admonishes against "adding to" the Gospel. This is simply mantras, repeated ad nauseum, by modern preachers. There was no idea of "oh, you don't want to add to your salvation, or you're damned" idea in Apostolic times. The Apostles taught no such thing. It has come after, as a result of the Roman Catholic Church becoming the dominant expositor of theology a few centuries after Jesus, and leading almost all of Christianity astray, including Protestants who think they have "gone back", when really they are like stupid children believing they've conquered the beast by stabbing it in the toe.
Do more searching. Jesus was not against works like many Protestants are.
Think about your requirement of "no works" though. If we have to "trust in Jesus' death", that is 1. a work, 2. denying it is sin, but you don't have to give up sin to be saved, therefore denying it doesn't damn you either.
Chris, Brother, thank you. Being an old metalhead myself, I was very happy to see where this video went. I believe Christ is in the lyrics of all Christian metal. I hate sounding like my parents when I say I can't understand what they are saying sometimes (dating myself too) but you can tell where the artists heart's are at if you stick around and talk with them after the show. This is a great channel, I'm subbing you. Thank you for this! God Bless and have a great day!
Brannagan O'Brannagan you said Chris Brother
and my big brother is named Chris sort of funny
cabematt101 1211 It would be even more funny if I told you what my is.... Never stop rocking!
I love the part with Wolves At The Gate at creation festival
music is music, what ever genre you like....all I know is that the goodie-square-christians are always the first to judge just because they don't find something that fits their standards.. all it is, how Strong your FAITH is, whatever religion you believe...in the end we all pray to the same person.
Amen preach it brother jesus loves everyone regardless of who people are
It doesn't matter what style of music you listen to what matters is the meaning behind the lyrics. If you singing about drugs, sex, and murder in a song that could be considered satanic. But if you are spreading a good message through lyrics then I'm gonna say rock on!
First video I have seen by you. Gotta say, I dig the set you use!!
Thanks! Blessings Bro :)
