When I had my encounter with our lord and savior and received that gift and the revelation that come with it I knew what I was doing wrong and what I had to repent and leave behind in my old life . I used to listen to a little bit of everything but mostly rock heavy metal stuff like that. Once I received Jesus into my heart I had that discernment of that the music was just deceiving me and furthering my anger . I decided to get rid of it completely. Why not sing just for the lord I don’t listen to music that can make me happy with the lyrics I get my happiness from the lord ❤️

I don't know listening to love song is a sin , BC I came across a book today in the Bible today known as the song of songs , And the songs there were addressed by a man to a woman and by the woman to a man.. Please little wisdom about the topic please u share with me
Music can be used for good or for bad. It is like everything else, you have to cherry pick the good things and leave behind waste. You cannot assume that a particular musician is all good or all bad. Some songs have a good positive effect while others open a door to temptation.
@Nathaniel Hall There are songs without vulgar words that have good messages brother,and I have been a music ADDICT if you will...I'm well known for my love of music by my friends,it was sobering when I learned how powerful music is,and how Satan uses it,it's just so good isn't it,beware dear brother,it can be poison to your spirit if aren't aware of what the songs REAL Message is...
@Nathaniel Hall We have all endured some type of pain and frustration dear brother Nathaniel,we are called to be holy,using foul language to convey a message is not a good thing,the bible talks abt our tongue,it is powerful,words have power,I'm sure our Lord was in horrific unimaginable pain on the cross,you read the scriptures,He remained holy...We must really try to follow our Lord Jesus,of course we fall,we most certainly will make mistakes...but to say that we love and follow Christ and to minister Jesus to someone then turn around with dirty language is not a good thing. 😊🙏
@Erik The Existor i don’t agree with the language brother but we aren’t perfect, anyway.. yeah it seems too extreme man. he created this world and created gifts for us so people shouldn’t be so far gone from it
Hi Elizabeth, I think you should watch the whole video again and let me know what you think about it as your comment might be confusing with the message of the video. Somebody else here also mentioned the happy birthday day song. So would that mean you depart yourself from that? Anyways, stay blessed.
@@theawesomegameguychannel4562 yes and that’s okay but as far as rap or any other songs that have vulgar in it and promote violence and just you know talk about things that us as christians know isn’t good at all we shouldn’t listen to it no matter what.
Cornerstone Television Network I thought he had a very balanced Biblical answer! So many Christians are either black or white. With music.... just like any other art form which includes tv, art, movies... if the message brings you closer to God/Jesus then it is from Him but of course if it causes someone to stumble... just like our words or actions then it is not of God or it is sin. This was really of interest to me because back in the early 80's I actually burned all my secular vinyl because a well meaning Pastor told me it was ALL evil. He actually told me that demons lived under the plastic protective covers. He told me there were demons in my earrings, that wearing make-up was a sin... etc. I was such a mess from that man and was damaged for years. I believe Christians... especially Pastors/teachers carry a big responsibility when they decide to present truth and they need to be careful that they aren't causing people to stumble from the legalism that is not from Jesus. So bottom line.... many things are sin... often things that we think are not. Thank you! Blessings.
WE NEVER KNOW A PERSON'S HEART! I DON'T CARE WHO THE ARTIST IS. AS A CHILD I REMEMBER A TAPE THAT WAS FOUND BY MY UNCLE. HE PLAYED IT WITH BOTH CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND WELL KNOWN SECULAR ARTIST. THE STUFF THAT I HEARD BACKWARDS TOLD IT ALL! EVEN CHRISTIANS WERE WERE CUSSING AND SAYING SINFUL STUFF JUST LIKE THE WORLDLY PPL. NOW IT WAS THE WINANS FAMILY THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT GOD. YOU HAVE TO LET YOU DISCERNMENT KICK IN AND KNOW WHAT'S WHAT.
I'm a Christian and I love positive music which can help to change the life's of people positively.... What draws my attention to this topic today was , when I finished read the book of ecclesiastes ,I came across the other book known as the "song of Songs " and the songs there are mostly love songs between man and woman . and so my question is , is it a sin to listen to a love song talking about relationship with others , for example love song that a man is talking about a woman he loves , and a woman talking about a man she loves.. someone with little wisdom about this topic please help with ur own point of view thanks ..
Hi, song of Solomon it not a sexual or romance book it is written for the Jesus his bride the church. For you to understand you really ask the Holy spirit to give you understanding.
Yes. God knows your heart. That is the real test. I started learning guitar in my middle age and everything I like is either rock, metal, or country...obviously i LOVE Christian music because it is getting SO much better as well. But when you pick up a guitar, the first songs available to build your chops would be clearly secular music. I practice Ozzy, Metallica, ZZ top, old-school country, you name it. I just steer clear of the ones with a bad message. Having said that: I do practice some 'not so good' message songs purely for the riffs, but I don't sing the lyrics, that's not what I'm after. Practicing secular music has made me a better CHRISTIAN musician. Period. Plus, MANY secular musicians are glorifying God by getting to know him, and REAL country music will NEVER leave it's gospel roots. Again, God knows our hearts, and his Holy Spirit speaks. Just listen to Him. And make SURE to set aside time EVERY day for praise and worship He deserves; read your Bible, and you WILL grow. We're ALL a work in progress and praise God for his grace and patience. OH, and it's okay to have pride in being a musician and honing your craft. It is a gift from God that you can do such things at all. Just stay humble and seek his face!
Thank you. I love metal, rap and rock. So say if I was listening to the Violence by Asking Alexandria, or the Immigrant Song, those are talking about violence, should I listen to those even when they won’t steer me away from God?
@@lilahb5671 Being a Christian is about the GOSPEL...resulting in a gift from God of a NEW heart and a rebirth! Having had this, or working toward this, you will be able to answer such questions yourself. Remember Paul STAYED frustrated at his human love for sin, and he even prayed for HIDDEN sin that may of escaped him...you have to LIVE, and you will stumble and be mistaken in ALL things at one time or another, but actively keep seeking God and you will GROW! Don't get caught up in 'how ya earned it.' You CAN'T! Do your HONEST best! And when you fall down, get back up! Don't sweat the small stuff unless God puts it on your heart!
Kevin Brown Thank you so much. God bless you! So you’re saying that I’m order to just be in a relationship with God and have a new heart I have to make the mistakes, pray for forgiveness, work toward getting better, and just get more connected with God. I know that sometimes it will be tempting and I am gonna end up listening to the music, but I can grow from that and work harder to get a purer heart.
@@lilahb5671 And realize that 'it's not about you, it's about Him. If ANYONE in this WORLD or this country its actual Christians that need the Gospel more than anyone. It's so simple, a child can understand the true meaning of the Gospel, but we, as humans, have a tendency to try too hard, thus confusing the message. The Law was a simple mirror that shows us time and again: WE CAN'T DO IT...but Jesus did it, and so THAT'S what needs to be the focus...Not whether a cold beer or coffee that's too strong is 'a sin.' Come, as a child, and seek His face...You'll get there...and if your church is not preaching the Gospel EVERY Sunday, find another one...Keep pure in heart as you can, and keep giving Him the glory and the power of your life. God Bless you!
Kevin Brown Thanks, I think I’m getting it. Sorry for all of the questions, but I’m under 18 and my parents aren’t really religious but they will support my beliefs. Do you think I should go to church?
From what I get from reading scripture about this subject about listening to secular music. If it makes you stumble or you drift away from God then cease from listening to this type. But if you are still remain close to God then I find nothing wrong with it. It's all about your personal convictions between you and God. I am as strong as I can be secular music doesn't bother me. I
I found this I struggle with listening to whirly music I love the Lord I read my Bible I pray and I also listen to Christian music but sometimes I just like listening to whirly music when I clean my house maybe your family parties I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ I love you Lord
Is it Okay for a Christian Believer to Listen to Secular Music? by David J. Stewart | May 2017 1st Corinthians 7:29, “But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none... And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.” Yes, I do believe that it is acceptable to the Lord for believers to listen to some secular music. As Christian believers, we are still a part of the world around us. Most of my web visitors were also raised up in our American culture. I recognize three types of music: RELIGIOUS SECULAR WORLDLY Most Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) is just pseudo religious garbage. So you could further categorize between pseudo religious verses Christian music if you wanted. Not all secular music is bad. For example: George Strait sings some great songs, like “I Saw God Today.” The song is about his daughter being born, and he sees God in the gift of life. It's a beautiful song. But that doesn't mean I approve of all of Mr. Strait's music, such as his bad song, “Overnight Male” or his adulterous song “Seashores Of Old Mexico.” These songs promote sexual immorality. These are worldly songs. These are very different than George's song “I Saw God Today.” Do you see the difference? So, yes, I do think it is acceptable for a Christian to listen to secular music, but should abstain from worldly music. James Taylor's music is beautiful. I think it is acceptable to hear songs like “How Sweet It Is” and “You've Got A Friend.” I like Don William's song “I Believe In You.” Examples of worldly music would be Rod Stewart's “Do You Think I'm Sexy” and Madonna's “Like A Virgin,” which openly promote sexual immorality. Also, we need to discern between groups that are serving the Devil verses listening to some of their acceptable songs. Some people would argue that to listen to any of their songs means supporting the whole caboodle. I don't think so. I love the song “Til There Was You” by The Beatles. Does that mean that I support the Beatles? Never! They are of the Devil. Churches ought not play their music, because then the church would be sponsoring it. But if you personally want to listen to “Til There Was You” in your backyard at a barbeque, I do not think it is sinful. Do you see the difference? Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) used to read Zane Grey (1872-1939) novels. But Zane Grey was an adulterous heathen involved in Hollywood. Does that mean Dr. Rice endorsed everything about Zane Grey? Of course not. Dr. Rice just enjoyed reading western novels. I like singing hymns on Sunday at church. I enjoy the depth of theological meaning in the old hymns. But I like hearing Hawaiian, Country and other secular music during the week. I like many secular songs. I'm not as conservative when it comes to music as are some believers. I like all kinds of music, but stay away from heavy metal and music that promotes an evil spirit. I am a hobbyist musician and love all kinds of music. I think as believers we need to discern between music that is secular verses worldly. Also, we need to discern between groups that are serving the Devil verses listening to some of their acceptable songs. Some people would argue that to listen to any of their songs means supporting the whole caboodle. I don't think so. I love the song “Til There Was You” by The Beatles. Does that mean that I support the Beatles? Never! They are of the Devil. Churches ought not play their music, because then the church would be sponsoring it. But if you personally want to listen to “Til There Was You” in your backyard at a barbeque, I do not think it is sinful. Do you see the difference? Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) used to read Zane Grey (1872-1939) novels. But Zane Grey was an adulterous heathen involved in Hollywood. Does that mean Dr. Rice endorsed everything about Zane Grey? Of course not. Dr. Rice just enjoyed reading western novels. Clearly, “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC and “Running With The Devil” by Van Halen are of the Devil. No Christian should listen to these kinds of songs. Nothing AC/DC or Van Halen sings is acceptable. Contrawise, I also really don't care for church music myself. I like instrumentation and steel guitars, because I play them. I like a bass and some drums. Music is a passion for me, which I continually thank God for enabling me to do. Please don't misunderstand, I love singing at church, and harmonizing while singing; but given the choice, I'd rather hear Jerry Byrd playing his album “On The Shores Of Waikiki” on his steel guitar any day! That's just me. At the same time, preachers must take a Biblical stand against the dangers of ALL worldliness, rebellion and influences that corrupt our youth. There are many Country songs that I like, which would not be appropriate for a church service, but I think would be fitting for a barbecue. There are many variables to consider. Music is a powerful medium through which the human spirit is influenced. Satan fully knows this. There is music that I like by AC/DC, Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne and Van Halen, but I do not listen to it, because it negatively influences my spirit.
Look Galatians speaks on we're not saved by the law The works of the flesh it says no man should be justified by The works of the law but I agree with doing good and doing the right under the grace of God we all slip and fall nobody's perfect that's why we must live under the grace of God 24 hours
Romans 12:2 says do not be conformed to this world,but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of god, music has power and it can bring an element into the environment so don't take it lightly
Precious Lord, please let your truth and wisdom flow through your child, like waters gushing out of a rock back in the day of Moses. Please take away desires from your child music you would not have him or her listen to. Praise you, Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus. Anen.
@@chaennelchaennel This phrase is not found anywhere in Scripture. Algernon Sidney actually originated that phrase. However, what IS found, among others (too many to list here) is: Romans 10:13 King James Version 13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." God calls on us to turn to Him for our strength and comfort. He never said that we should go it alone.
I’ve got a question here.. if god said “trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your OWN understanding” does that apply to listening to secular music with positive and uplifting messages too?? Because the song isn’t glorifying God but the worlds understanding? Idk Maybe I’m overthinking. I just wanna know someone else’s thoughts 💭
Actually what that verse means is to not take everything in your own hand and believe that you got this especially on your own because we don’t have the answers to everything. It also mean to let God handle it because he has the answers to everything and solutions as well. Hope this helps 💕🤗
Hey, Amanuel, Yeah you're right, there's a lot of debate about this issue. Most Christians believe that listening to or playing secular music could prevent you from entering the kingdom of GOD, citing Galatians 5:22.
I'm a disciple of jesus christ and I live my life in him ,for him and because of him: jesus christ bu, I'm not seeing anything wrong to listen I will always love you by whitney Houston! I'm seeing anything wrong by wearing Gucci or Louis Vuitton ,nothing wrong going to the museum to see amazing arts! The bible says everything good comes from above God, people you should learn to choose what is not bad for your soul and your peace. God is not concerned about the music you listen but your relationship with God is the one concerned the most! We have the holy spirit and he is the one who is able to guide us choosing the best qualities of music and art, clothes etc. When you go study music, Christians and pagans both start by :DO RÉ MI FÁ SÓ LÂ SI DO... CHOOSE WISELY WHAT YOU WANT TO LISTEN AND ASK TO THE HOLY SPIRIT IF IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL. I WAS A GREAT FAN OF RAP AND TECHNO MUSIC BUT WITH TIME A FELT FEELING MYSELF DIRTY AFTER LISTENING TO RAP SONGS AND THE UGLY MESSAGES INTO THE RAP. IT WAS COMPLETELY CLEAR TO ME THAT I HAD TO STOP LISTENING TO THOSE KINDS OF SONGS... THE HOLY SPIRIT ONLY HIMMM
Listening to worldly musics is not good for christians. 1 john 2:15 Love Not The World Neither The Things That Are In The World. If Any Man Love The World, The Love Of The Father Is Not In Him.. You know the secular musics are in the world and enjoying the world enjoying the things of the world listening to worldy musics watching tvs like enjoying loving the world as if you do love the world the love of the father is not in you. Were living in these last days peoples its time to get right. BECAREFUL WHO YOU LISTEN BECAUSE MANY FALSE PROPHETS ARE GONE TO THIS WORLD IN THESE LASTS DAYS TO DECIEVE MANY!!!.. You shall know by their fruits whether they are good or bad.
Isaak Flett So you are going to give Satan the glory for all the music in the world that doesn't have any lyrics with the word "Jesus" in it? I disagree and doubt that you even listened to the pastors in this video especially the first one. It depends on the message... the content. I'm sorry but listening to the Beatles sing "And I love her" is not a sin. I was like you once... I burnt all my 70's and 80's records in a bonfire and I deeply regret that I did that. On that day... Satan got the Glory not God because I let lies tell me to take the beautiful gift that God gave man and burn it! Just like everything else... there is balance and it's a personal relationship with Jesus that will change your heart and tell you what to listen to and what not to listen to. Legalistic Christianity has done so much damage to people. You need to check your heart and get to know God... the beautiful Creator that puts gifts in man.
Raechelyn Dawn Actually The Beatles are anti-christ and throw up a lot of satanic symbols in their albums and they even have on one of their album covers the wickest man that started the statement “do what thou wilt” in other words, DO WHAT YOU WANT. Not to mention The Beatles is WORLDLY known, listening to them is DEFINITELY a sin and you must repent. God bless 💕
So you are telling me loving meat or rice is a sin heiin, because they are worldly things. I know you will say they have been created by God, yes but know that music is a gift from God too. I will tell you that a sin is doing bad things while knowing that what you are doing is bad. And that's why you see kids doesn't have sins because they don't know about it yet. In conclusion, if you listen to music and your heart tells you that it's bad, then don't continue listening it,or you will be sinning in that case. And if you heart doesn't feel anything about a song then you good to listen it.
you don’t have to love these things, and this doesn’t apply to super negative secular things. to some extent people need to chill out, be positive and don’t listen to stuff that’ll turn u against the lord. to a certain extent it’s nearly impossible to avoid
I recently learned that my favorite band is composed of satanists, not the kind that pretends to be as a gimmick, but they actually worship Lucifer secretly. This got me disheartened and I'm rethinking my choices in music.
Micah Ubisi provide proof, scripture, etc. not your opinion, true facts from the Bible that says it is. Not bc you say so, but bc of what God says. I say garbage in, garbage out. As long as the lyrics aren’t filthy and ungodly, and don’t lead you from God, I believe it’s fine.
@@reckless875 okay sir...I'm gonna give u the scriptures...but u also must give me the scriptures that says u can listen secular music....Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19...why does the apostole encourage us to do what the scriptures are saying?
@@reckless875 let me tell you something about secular music...it doesn't praise God in any way ...it creates a fantasy....for an example ...Rnb or soul...
Micah Ubisi look man i admire that you put scripture, I do. However, not all secular music is evil and bad. I agree if its got language and has a terrible message, then no don’t listen to it. But if it’s a good clean song that actually has a message, I don’t see the harm. There’s no scripture that says thou shalt not listen to music that doesn’t sing about God. Should we sing praises and hymns? Yes. But if it’s not Christian music does it make it automatically bad? No. I’ve heard hymnals that are biblically off before.
Micah Ubisi Then you shouldn't look at artwork, cars, movies or read any books. Just sit there and read your Bible 24/7. I'm a believer in Christ but your legalism is ridiculous. God gave gifts to man... man is created in God's image. Just because music isn't directly saying Jesus and God does not mean it's NOT giving God glory. Satan gets waaaay to much credit for too many things and well-meaning Christians are the worst when it comes to putting bondages and chains on man. Chill out.
I listen to some extreme genres of secular music like death metal and even sometimes listen to black metal and blackened genres of metal (not all the time) But I dont subject myself to the lyrics, even when I know the lyrics. And thats because I keep a strong mind and know that the evil flowing through the lyrical context will not corrupt me. I believe in the gospel and I know Jesus loves me. I listen to it primarily for the instrumentation. Stating your mind about certain secular topic is just an art form in the material world, and the idea of art is a gift given to us by God. It allows us to appreciate the material world through so many different perspectives that dont include our own, yet art can be interpreted in our own seperate ways, and we can choose to ignore certain aspects of an art form if we dont deem them fit in our lifestyle, yet appreciate other details and thing about that SAME art form. Its not a sin to experience art, but it can be a sin if you perceive it the wrong way. And thats on the power and ability to resist the forces of darkness on yourself. God bless 🙏
Even the Christian music is just as corrupt as the worldly because of the sound and frequency of these music production and instruments. That's My discovery. Friendship with the world is knowingly choosing enmity with God.
@@joseambriz5897 the key, the frequency and timbre, the tempo, the notes, all these and more are weaponized by the enemy to manipulate human consciousness. Pray to the Holy Spirit for more revelation and understanding.
I see nothing "wrong" with "secular music" per se, but I set myself limits on lyrical content. I love listening The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Motown etc, but my heart belongs to Christ and so do my ears, so I won't listen to anything overtly suggestive or violent.
The Beatles are known to have hated Christ. They made a pile of hundreds of Bibles and burned them to prove that. Do you really support people like that?
As a musician, I can tell you, those bands are from satan and corrupt us! I loved that type of music, cannot stand it now. An insider for the Beatles said, " they were the most antichrist ppl I've ever met.' Will it keep you from heaven? I don't know, will it corrupt you? Yes, it will. Study the origins of rock music! Satan uses a million things to destroy us! Listen I'm the last person I thought would reject rock music, but God himself showed me. I was a huge who fan. God showed me they were used! A tool. God bless you
Added: rock, in general, is rebellion, sex, the lust of the flesh, gain the whole world, pride, idolatry, ...you don't think a stadium full of 50,000 ppl is idolatry? Absolutely! Modern-day idolatry! I learned this the hard way!! With that, I'm not trying to rain on your parade or be legalistic, I'm trying to show you that certain entertainment is from satan. Too be avoided. Jesus said " follow me" I just couldn't see Jesus at a rock concert lol
I understand and agree with the fact if we claim to be followers of Christ we should not accept or condone everything that is in the world. I also look at the fact that that you should not be legalistic to shun everything either. I view music the same way I view TV and holidays celebrations. We as believers have to understand just because a song or film may not say or have Christanity next to it does not mean it is evil. Even the hymns of the church were written by heathens.People like to quote the scripture that says you can't serve God and mammon when it comes to the secular music subject. The bible also says in Phillipians 4:8 Whatsoever is pure and of good report and have any good value to think on these things. My answer to this is if the song no matter if it is R&B, Pop, or Rock and it advocates uplifting messages that the scriptures condone it's not a sin listen to it. But if it is promoting the filth and sins of the world then we do not need admire it.That is the reason why the bible says in Psalms 97 :10 He that loves the Lord hates evil. It also says in Roman 12:2 Do not be confirmed to world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind for the same reason.
Both secular music and motion picture destroy your fellowship with God because they are gross idolatries. We never consider that the actors and musicians are destroying their souls by not fleeing from the wrath to come. My Christian brother and sister, would you like to hear the trumpet sound for the bride while you are listening to secular music?
So you are telling me loving meat or rice is a sin heiin, because they are worldly things. I know you will say they have been created by God, yes but know that music is a gift from God too. I will tell you that a sin is doing bad things while knowing that what you are doing is bad. And that's why you see kids doesn't have sins because they don't know about it yet. In conclusion, if you listen to music and your heart tells you that it's bad, then don't continue listening it,or you will be sinning in that case. And if you heart doesn't feel anything about a song then you good to listen it.
How do I know if what I think is wrong is my own thought? For example, I have been raised to think that wearing nail polish is sinful. It's a thought that has been pushed into my mind from a child. Can I trust my heart to then point me to what is really sinful or not?
@Erik The Existor you need to understand that we must not follow our feelings and emotions because we are natural sinful, anytime we follow our own feelings we might fall, for example: i emotionally or i feel to have sex. Jusy because i feel having sex i am not gonna do it. The point is that we Christian must do anything in the name of Jesus CHRIST in other word, whatever we do we must do it to the glory of God. Also The bible teachs that we must not be like the word, if you are listening to the world's music, then you are being like them, we must be separate from the world and grow in our spiritual life. I could give you many reasons why, but.....you know.
@@esseyshimbahri6301 so God wants us to just read, and find out and worship him 24/7? no it says nothing about secular music and stuff/shows that curse ect. you can listen and watch what you want (i dont think the nasty scenes is something you should watch though) as LONG as it doesn't affect your relationship with God for example, reading the bible less or talking to him less make time for God I'm sure u can listen and watch cursing shows and music, but do not let it infulen you to sin/ temptations.
@@esseyshimbahri6301 Exactly! The Bible says that you can't get sweet and bitter Water, from the same Fountain. James 3:11 "Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?" It also states in Revelation 3:16 that you must be either hot, or cold. You can't be both. Revelation 3:16 "So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

There is a older senior social media celebrity who claims to be a Born Again Christian but he dances to secular music and shakes his groove thing in front of the camera. He has danced all his life. He once condemned me for being a gay Christian but will shake his behind for the camera for several seconds in certain videos. This makes me angry because people who live in a glass house shouldn’t throw stones. He has even made dance videos to Pit Bull songs. I listen to secular music because I do not find anything wrong with it. I just have a problem with so-called Christian’s condemnation but turning around and doing the same thing. I hope that I get a true response!
i personally agree with one of the first comments that said that if your heart doesn't tell you anything about being wrong about the music you're listening to, you're good. i'm open to hear others' opinions. I didn't know this stuff if it wasn't for one of my friends who is Muslim and told me that Muslims and Christians have similar "rules". in fact even for Christians listening to certain music is wrong. Since yesterday i've been do some researches and i got to this video, and i'm glad i've been hearing different people's opinions which were low-key similar. In my humble opinion, we all cannot know for sure what is wrong and what is not, because it can be relative and changing based on the situation. For example if someone who is highly depressed commit suicide, I'm sure God will not abandon him/her but try to save His child. At this point I believe that there are there are some stages of our life that we somehow go through at the end. For example adolescence. This is a really delicate stage of our life when we are mostly rebels especially against our parents and sometimes even society. I'm a 17 year-old and a lot of my contemporaries smoke, use drugs, get drunk and so on. Personally I do not do any of these stuff and I am not so sure that these kids are committing a sin (I AM NOT SURE because i still don't know much about the Bible, so correct me if I am stating something wrong) and I respect their choices even if I high-key do not share them, and they know, but I just think it's their stuff, as long as it doesn't effect me I can enjoy their company without "throwing them away". But that friend told me that even all of this stuff is a sin because it's "damaging" your body which before yours is God's creation (and I low-key agree with this statement). The fact is that society if growing so fast and everything is changing, there are a lot of things that were a scandal ages ago and that now are considered legit (like divorce, abort etc.) Sometimes I agree think that this "Old Book" needs a little refresh to somehow "follow" our time, so I question myself a lot too. For example, going back to the adolescence thing, we know that most of teens in their blossoming age finding out their bodies masturbate, who more who less who not at all. In my PERSONAL opinion (after past a year reflecting on this subject) I realize that this is not something too ""sinful"" because it is considered normal; because it's a stage of our lives that will vanish after a certain age. Now, going back to the main topic of the video, I personally think that if a certain music makes you happy, feel relaxed, distress then it's okay to listen to it. But there are somehow a lot of songs dealing about using drugs, a lot (mostly) american songs dealing about sexuality, songs' choreographs that have sensual moves etc. well, what you wanna do? Don't listen to music? I personally can't do such a thing, because of the previous reasons. It is not true that if I listen to something that has in the lyrics something doing with drugs i'll become corrupted, not at all in my case (same with the smoking stuff and sexual perversions). I am not even a native English speaker so naturally I won't get completely everything of what lyrics is speaking about (plus I listen to italian songs, which is my country, and Korean songs - same here: I won't understand everything they say, I just enjoy music). So what about just enjoying and feeling music? If that makes you feel good and stops thoughts passing through your head giving you stress? If we follow every single word of the commands then what about the one stating not to kill? (in italian "You shall not murder" was translated into "Do not kill") Don't we eat meat? Don't we kill mosquitoes or cockroaches? (You see what I mean?) Another personal thought I would discuss is about dancing. We all know that hip-hop, latina, classical dance classes are very popular nowadays. A lot of different dance style are studied by millions of people (I've been a dancer as well), so what about dancing in a certain way? Is it considered sinful? Maybe some moves are a bit hard, at the border line but if the aim of the dancer is to show off how much passion and effort he/she has put throughout his/her studies, if every of his/her moves where sweated days, months because he/she likes this discipline, because he/she likes to dance... then what? Should it be banned? I don't agree with that. I personally think there must be a equilibrium: if all of the choreography is based on twerking I agree that this is sexual, this is "tempting" and make someone we know what, but if the choreography has a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of twerk, a little bit of pop moves, how can it be considered sinful? How can I be considered sinful if I dance o a song that makes me feel confident, that raise my autostime, that makes me no more feel like a sheep in a bunch of wolves, how? I think we all need to have autostime and dancing, acting and so on help us a lot (especially when you're a teen). So how can a dance teen be considered sinful under this point of view? In my opinion this teen is legally showing his/her God's gift: he/she is showing his/her abilities, he/she's showing what God gifted to him/her. How can this be considered a sin? If he/she makes it look in a bad malicious way, then, okay, maybe it can be considered like that, but what if it is not? it is just made it like a normal thing? I maybe be wrong but I feel like this should be considered under different point of views and then classified as okay or not, because of everything I wrote up. I just think that it's okay to make a mistake, the society after-all makes us doing that by foce of circumstances a lot of times. I believe that if we pray God, He will light up our hearts and make us see the right path to follow. If we trust our heart, we will not be caught in the wrong path, if we do something in good faith. And, sometimes, if we fail, it's okay, we are human, we can't be perfect, we're weak, we fall, we go up: we just need to find strength in the Lord and He will save us from falling again ❤
A person must die to himself and take up his cross to serve the Lord. When you take that oath with the Lord, you can't be of the world or it's contents. That means rebuking everything worldly,
Well jazz really wasn't in mind when I gave my opinion, I meant like hardcore rap, metal, hip hop, etc, even rated R movies. If I want to correctly follow Christ, I must stay away from worldly things. There's a difference between a believer and follower, but it's entirely up to the individual. Mentioning myself, I choose to fully give and devote myself to Jesus Christ and his teachings. It's not easy, but I do enjoy being clear minded 😀
Michael Sanchez how do I follow Jesus and rebuke everything..that seems so hard for me. Especially high school with so many people being apart of the world. The phones. Video games. Basketball. All of these things I don’t know how to follow the lord like that.. deep down I feel like that’s what I want and need but I can’t really imagine that right now especiallywith my situation
Well Ruben, you have to find a source of holiness, a Christian community, a Christian Church. It is there you will get to know Jesus on a personal level, like I had to. I understand your situation and it is tough, living in a world that doesn't know Jesus Christ. Try prayer, it's the first step, let Jesus Christ know your thoughts and wants, he will hear you. Christ will guide you in the right direction, don't be worried, he will provide just as long as you acknowledge his principles. The world wants you to be distracted because the enemy doesn't want you to know the truth, that Jesus Christ is the way and the truth of the world, believe in him and see it for yourself. Be bold and take that first step, your life will be the same. But its entirety up to you
Michael Sanchez what are Jesus principles? What would happen if I have faith in Jesus but I fail to completely repent. I don’t want to go to hell if but I want to enjoy myself in video games..and watching RUclips.
Christian or secular? I listen to music that makes feel good inside and carry on in this life. Some days are good and some are bad. I actually don’t even think like the title of a genre called “Christian music” but an artist sharing there story/life and faith of what they believe in. I create music, recorded my first album in Afghanistan. Do I swear in some songs, yes. Is there songs where I speak about God, thank him or asking for his guide-dense, yes... There are days when I bump that Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Dmx, Lana Del Rey, Demi Levato, Eminem, Elton John, Nas, Wiz. Etc.... You get the point... And then there is days when I listen to Lauren Daigle, Kirk Franklin, Third Day, Jeremy Camp... which Most would call “Christian music”... Do I need to cut out all artist except “Christian Music”? From my life? Should I never write any more lyrics, create my own music, and perform it because every song isn’t about God or the Bible??? The answer is no Ladies and Gentlemen. The answer is no. - Blake Kabage
Also too who is to say what is Christian and what is not? Who is to say your beliefs are wrong and someone else are right? Answer this... Between these songs by Kirk Franklin “Do you wanna he happy” Lauren Daigle “You Say” or “Rescue Me”, Third Day, “Cry out to Jesus” or God Of Wonders”.... The “Christian Music Genre” and then compare it to your so called “Secular Music” And Take a listen to (DMX) and his song called “Lord Give Me A Sign”. They ALL SOUND LIKE SONGS ABOUT FAITH AND HOPE TO ME. THEY ALL TALK ABOUT GOD TO ME. But You already know you will hear that Super, Duper, “I’m above everybody”, the Top leader, the “individuals who don’t share or show love towards others as much as they stay judging them, the All holy of holy “So called Christians” be like... No Dmx is secular. He is this. His music is this. This song can’t be Christian music and is secular because the rest of his album he swears. Lmao 😂 🤣😂 Shut Uuuuuup
When I'm feeling nostalgic I'll look.up an instrumental to a song. I've outgrown the lyrics to 90% of the music I used to listen to. I just love hearing the music without all the vulgarity.
Just remember, it doesnt matter if you go to church twice a week, pray for every single event of your day, serve and love your master in every way you can...its not enough if the music you listen to doesnt exist primarily to praise the almighty god. He gave you EVERYTHING and if you don't stop to thank him at least once every 10 minutes then you are a sorrowfully selfish, secular, sinner...Now some people might be thinking 'what a needy god that must be' ...well I must tell you that thinking that way is a sin... But as far as that secular music goes you must be afraid!! We are so spiritually fragile that any lyric about something other than OOOH LORD YOU ARE MY KING!! OOOOH YEA YEA YEA YOU ARE MY SAVIOR JEEEEEESUS will surely destroy us. Just remember, any mention of sex or drugs means you must never ever listen to it even though its probably better sounding. Oooh god please protect us from this scary music!!! Its Satan! Hes trying to get us! We cant decide on our own what to listen to!!! We are sooo weak but through CHRIST we are strong. And since we are so weak, that means any instinct we have about what to listen to or about anything contradictory to the GOOD BOOK must surely be wrong. Dear God, i pray that we may continue to fear you and praise you and please you, and that our future generations can continue to be good little sheep, in your name, amen
Nope it isn’t a sin. So… anyone want a coffee? Apparently, I just gave a difficult question the easiest answer. My late Dad was a CofE vicar. I grew up knowing to guys who later became Archbishop of Canterbury, I know a vicar (now an Arch Bishop who once got his meds mixed up, had a glass of wine with a meal and woke up in a skip three miles from his house. Twinkle twinkle little star is secular, old MacDonald is secular, Frozen is secular, let there be love is secular, that’s amore is secular the list goes on for miles. Don’t be close minded.
@@solaade8297 Musically, there is no difference. Music is music. It can be classified by genre, Classical, Country, Rock, Jazz, etc..... But, any music called "Gospel" is called that because of the words, and it can be played in any of the previously mentioned musical genres.
Eniola Adelusi The words. The instruments are the same. The words are ARE different. What about music without lyrics? This legalistic Christian nonsense is the reason so many unsaved souls dislike Christianity.
Don Mcc melody is music, if you don’t have a melody you don’t have a song regardless of the type of words. So let me ask you all this: how do we differentiate a secular melody from a Christian one????
Answer: NOPE. Christianity has so many rules because of the cavemen who wrote them, kept changing them/adding to them/erasing things/editing, etc, in order to control you. It's that simple. Listen to music that speaks to your heart and soul. Don't make this complicated and stressful to your life.
Anne murray is secular music but it's not sinful have some discernment hip hop rock roll is awful and sinful but motown music the early stuff alot of it is not sinful but it became sinful with marvin gaye as he got older when he started doing songs like sexual healing and I heard it through the grapevine but his early music is not sinful. Ccm most of it is sinful because it has a rock roll sensual sound the lyrics matter so does the sound the lyrics should be primary not the best it's like dancing there's sensual dancing and there is dancing for the Lord and if you dance for the Lord like the Jewish christians did it's not sinful african christians dance and nothing sinful or sensual use Godly discernment
+ Romans 10:9-10 "That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." The man in Luke 16:24 cries: ". . .I am tormented in this FLAME." In Matthew 13:42, Jesus says: "And shall cast them into a FURNACE OF FIRE: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." In Matthew 25:41, Jesus says: "Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting FIRE,. . ." Revelation 20:15 says, " And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the LAKE OF FIRE." And please believe and repent of all of your sins and be baptized by the Holy Spirit before it is too late, you will never know when the time of your death or Jesus' return will come 🙏! Amen 🙏!

oh man I like this. Especially the fact that these pastors are all different cultures. I dig this. We millennials need more!
He brought up a good point when he said listening to it and watching it on television is basically no different.
When I had my encounter with our lord and savior and received that gift and the revelation that come with it I knew what I was doing wrong and what I had to repent and leave behind in my old life . I used to listen to a little bit of everything but mostly rock heavy metal stuff like that. Once I received Jesus into my heart I had that discernment of that the music was just deceiving me and furthering my anger . I decided to get rid of it completely. Why not sing just for the lord I don’t listen to music that can make me happy with the lyrics I get my happiness from the lord ❤️

I don't know listening to love song is a sin , BC I came across a book today in the Bible today known as the song of songs , And the songs there were addressed by a man to a woman and by the woman to a man.. Please little wisdom about the topic please u share with me
@@superdave772 thanks bro for the concern
If you think about the happy birthday song. Do you sing it? It’s not to God, however it is still a song that you’re singing.
Music can be used for good or for bad. It is like everything else, you have to cherry pick the good things and leave behind waste. You cannot assume that a particular musician is all good or all bad. Some songs have a good positive effect while others open a door to temptation.
So I can listen to it as long as it doesn't effect me or control and etc.
Yes! And i realized that today . i must protect my son from the influence and peers already in process of being influenced
It is friendly to listen to music suitable for all ages like anything that has no swearing, violence or naughty stuff on the video on the song
@Nathaniel Hall No, brother we most certainly should NOT be singing along to songs that have explicit topics and lyrics 🙏💕
@Nathaniel Hall There are songs without vulgar words that have good messages brother,and I have been a music ADDICT if you will...I'm well known for my love of music by my friends,it was sobering when I learned how powerful music is,and how Satan uses it,it's just so good isn't it,beware dear brother,it can be poison to your spirit if aren't aware of what the songs REAL Message is...
@Nathaniel Hall We have all endured some type of pain and frustration dear brother Nathaniel,we are called to be holy,using foul language to convey a message is not a good thing,the bible talks abt our tongue,it is powerful,words have power,I'm sure our Lord was in horrific unimaginable pain on the cross,you read the scriptures,He remained holy...We must really try to follow our Lord Jesus,of course we fall,we most certainly will make mistakes...but to say that we love and follow Christ and to minister Jesus to someone then turn around with dirty language is not a good thing. 😊🙏
If it's not about God then it's about the world . You must as a Christian part yourself from the world .
@Erik The Existor i don’t agree with the language brother but we aren’t perfect, anyway.. yeah it seems too extreme man. he created this world and created gifts for us so people shouldn’t be so far gone from it
That's it point blank 💯%
Hi Elizabeth, I think you should watch the whole video again and let me know what you think about it as your comment might be confusing with the message of the video. Somebody else here also mentioned the happy birthday day song. So would that mean you depart yourself from that? Anyways, stay blessed.
Not true. Some secular songs promote positive messages like love, friendship joy and other things that God is all about.
@@theawesomegameguychannel4562 yes and that’s okay but as far as rap or any other songs that have vulgar in it and promote violence and just you know talk about things that us as christians know isn’t good at all we shouldn’t listen to it no matter what.
I agree 100% with the first Pastor! He is awesome! TRUTH!
We enjoy the insights of Dr. Glaze and all the pastors on the panel. Thanks for watching! God Bless!
Cornerstone Television Network I thought he had a very balanced Biblical answer! So many Christians are either black or white. With music.... just like any other art form which includes tv, art, movies... if the message brings you closer to God/Jesus then it is from Him but of course if it causes someone to stumble... just like our words or actions then it is not of God or it is sin. This was really of interest to me because back in the early 80's I actually burned all my secular vinyl because a well meaning Pastor told me it was ALL evil. He actually told me that demons lived under the plastic protective covers. He told me there were demons in my earrings, that wearing make-up was a sin... etc. I was such a mess from that man and was damaged for years. I believe Christians... especially Pastors/teachers carry a big responsibility when they decide to present truth and they need to be careful that they aren't causing people to stumble from the legalism that is not from Jesus. So bottom line.... many things are sin... often things that we think are not. Thank you! Blessings.
Jesus said there was 2 commands. LOVE GOD with heart, soul, spirit and love others. When we love God like we should, we will love others. Thank you.
WE NEVER KNOW A PERSON'S HEART! I DON'T CARE WHO THE ARTIST IS. AS A CHILD I REMEMBER A TAPE THAT WAS FOUND BY MY UNCLE. HE PLAYED IT WITH BOTH CHRISTIAN MUSIC AND WELL KNOWN SECULAR ARTIST. THE STUFF THAT I HEARD BACKWARDS TOLD IT ALL! EVEN CHRISTIANS WERE WERE CUSSING AND SAYING SINFUL STUFF JUST LIKE THE WORLDLY PPL. NOW IT WAS THE WINANS FAMILY THAT WAS TALKING ABOUT GOD. YOU HAVE TO LET YOU DISCERNMENT KICK IN AND KNOW WHAT'S WHAT.
So true, love the idea
I'm a Christian and I love positive music which can help to change the life's of people positively.... What draws my attention to this topic today was , when I finished read the book of ecclesiastes ,I came across the other book known as the "song of Songs " and the songs there are mostly love songs between man and woman . and so my question is , is it a sin to listen to a love song talking about relationship with others , for example love song that a man is talking about a woman he loves , and a woman talking about a man she loves.. someone with little wisdom about this topic please help with ur own point of view thanks ..
Hi, song of Solomon it not a sexual or romance book it is written for the Jesus his bride the church. For you to understand you really ask the Holy spirit to give you understanding.
@@ziondongo5344 can you explain that?
Yes. God knows your heart. That is the real test. I started learning guitar in my middle age and everything I like is either rock, metal, or country...obviously i LOVE Christian music because it is getting SO much better as well. But when you pick up a guitar, the first songs available to build your chops would be clearly secular music. I practice Ozzy, Metallica, ZZ top, old-school country, you name it. I just steer clear of the ones with a bad message. Having said that: I do practice some 'not so good' message songs purely for the riffs, but I don't sing the lyrics, that's not what I'm after. Practicing secular music has made me a better CHRISTIAN musician. Period. Plus, MANY secular musicians are glorifying God by getting to know him, and REAL country music will NEVER leave it's gospel roots. Again, God knows our hearts, and his Holy Spirit speaks. Just listen to Him. And make SURE to set aside time EVERY day for praise and worship He deserves; read your Bible, and you WILL grow. We're ALL a work in progress and praise God for his grace and patience. OH, and it's okay to have pride in being a musician and honing your craft. It is a gift from God that you can do such things at all. Just stay humble and seek his face!
Thank you. I love metal, rap and rock. So say if I was listening to the Violence by Asking Alexandria, or the Immigrant Song, those are talking about violence, should I listen to those even when they won’t steer me away from God?
@@lilahb5671 Being a Christian is about the GOSPEL...resulting in a gift from God of a NEW heart and a rebirth! Having had this, or working toward this, you will be able to answer such questions yourself. Remember Paul STAYED frustrated at his human love for sin, and he even prayed for HIDDEN sin that may of escaped him...you have to LIVE, and you will stumble and be mistaken in ALL things at one time or another, but actively keep seeking God and you will GROW! Don't get caught up in 'how ya earned it.' You CAN'T! Do your HONEST best! And when you fall down, get back up! Don't sweat the small stuff unless God puts it on your heart!
Kevin Brown Thank you so much. God bless you! So you’re saying that I’m order to just be in a relationship with God and have a new heart I have to make the mistakes, pray for forgiveness, work toward getting better, and just get more connected with God. I know that sometimes it will be tempting and I am gonna end up listening to the music, but I can grow from that and work harder to get a purer heart.
@@lilahb5671 And realize that 'it's not about you, it's about Him. If ANYONE in this WORLD or this country its actual Christians that need the Gospel more than anyone. It's so simple, a child can understand the true meaning of the Gospel, but we, as humans, have a tendency to try too hard, thus confusing the message. The Law was a simple mirror that shows us time and again: WE CAN'T DO IT...but Jesus did it, and so THAT'S what needs to be the focus...Not whether a cold beer or coffee that's too strong is 'a sin.' Come, as a child, and seek His face...You'll get there...and if your church is not preaching the Gospel EVERY Sunday, find another one...Keep pure in heart as you can, and keep giving Him the glory and the power of your life. God Bless you!
Kevin Brown Thanks, I think I’m getting it. Sorry for all of the questions, but I’m under 18 and my parents aren’t really religious but they will support my beliefs. Do you think I should go to church?
From what I get from reading scripture about this subject about listening to secular music. If it makes you stumble or you drift away from God then cease from listening to this type. But if you are still remain close to God then I find nothing wrong with it. It's all about your personal convictions between you and God. I am as strong as I can be secular music doesn't bother me. I
@Ceed you won't like my answer
@Ceed Maybe you should think about leaving the church then.
I found this I struggle with listening to whirly music I love the Lord I read my Bible I pray and I also listen to Christian music but sometimes I just like listening to whirly music when I clean my house maybe your family parties I don’t know 🤷🏻♀️ I love you Lord
Is it Okay for a Christian Believer
to Listen to Secular Music?
by David J. Stewart | May 2017
1st Corinthians 7:29, “But this I say, brethren, the time is short: it remaineth, that both they that have wives be as though they had none... And they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.”
Yes, I do believe that it is acceptable to the Lord for believers to listen to some secular music. As Christian believers, we are still a part of the world around us. Most of my web visitors were also raised up in our American culture. I recognize three types of music:
RELIGIOUS
SECULAR
WORLDLY
Most Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) is just pseudo religious garbage. So you could further categorize between pseudo religious verses Christian music if you wanted.
Not all secular music is bad. For example: George Strait sings some great songs, like “I Saw God Today.” The song is about his daughter being born, and he sees God in the gift of life. It's a beautiful song. But that doesn't mean I approve of all of Mr. Strait's music, such as his bad song, “Overnight Male” or his adulterous song “Seashores Of Old Mexico.” These songs promote sexual immorality. These are worldly songs. These are very different than George's song “I Saw God Today.” Do you see the difference? So, yes, I do think it is acceptable for a Christian to listen to secular music, but should abstain from worldly music.
James Taylor's music is beautiful. I think it is acceptable to hear songs like “How Sweet It Is” and “You've Got A Friend.” I like Don William's song “I Believe In You.” Examples of worldly music would be Rod Stewart's “Do You Think I'm Sexy” and Madonna's “Like A Virgin,” which openly promote sexual immorality.
Also, we need to discern between groups that are serving the Devil verses listening to some of their acceptable songs. Some people would argue that to listen to any of their songs means supporting the whole caboodle. I don't think so. I love the song “Til There Was You” by The Beatles. Does that mean that I support the Beatles? Never! They are of the Devil. Churches ought not play their music, because then the church would be sponsoring it. But if you personally want to listen to “Til There Was You” in your backyard at a barbeque, I do not think it is sinful. Do you see the difference? Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) used to read Zane Grey (1872-1939) novels. But Zane Grey was an adulterous heathen involved in Hollywood. Does that mean Dr. Rice endorsed everything about Zane Grey? Of course not. Dr. Rice just enjoyed reading western novels.
I like singing hymns on Sunday at church. I enjoy the depth of theological meaning in the old hymns. But I like hearing Hawaiian, Country and other secular music during the week. I like many secular songs. I'm not as conservative when it comes to music as are some believers. I like all kinds of music, but stay away from heavy metal and music that promotes an evil spirit. I am a hobbyist musician and love all kinds of music. I think as believers we need to discern between music that is secular verses worldly.
Also, we need to discern between groups that are serving the Devil verses listening to some of their acceptable songs. Some people would argue that to listen to any of their songs means supporting the whole caboodle. I don't think so. I love the song “Til There Was You” by The Beatles. Does that mean that I support the Beatles? Never! They are of the Devil. Churches ought not play their music, because then the church would be sponsoring it. But if you personally want to listen to “Til There Was You” in your backyard at a barbeque, I do not think it is sinful. Do you see the difference? Dr. John R. Rice (1895-1980) used to read Zane Grey (1872-1939) novels. But Zane Grey was an adulterous heathen involved in Hollywood. Does that mean Dr. Rice endorsed everything about Zane Grey? Of course not. Dr. Rice just enjoyed reading western novels.
Clearly, “Highway to Hell” by AC/DC and “Running With The Devil” by Van Halen are of the Devil. No Christian should listen to these kinds of songs. Nothing AC/DC or Van Halen sings is acceptable. Contrawise, I also really don't care for church music myself. I like instrumentation and steel guitars, because I play them. I like a bass and some drums. Music is a passion for me, which I continually thank God for enabling me to do. Please don't misunderstand, I love singing at church, and harmonizing while singing; but given the choice, I'd rather hear Jerry Byrd playing his album “On The Shores Of Waikiki” on his steel guitar any day! That's just me.
At the same time, preachers must take a Biblical stand against the dangers of ALL worldliness, rebellion and influences that corrupt our youth. There are many Country songs that I like, which would not be appropriate for a church service, but I think would be fitting for a barbecue. There are many variables to consider. Music is a powerful medium through which the human spirit is influenced. Satan fully knows this. There is music that I like by AC/DC, Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne and Van Halen, but I do not listen to it, because it negatively influences my spirit.
The instructions is to keep the laws statues and commandments
Look Galatians speaks on we're not saved by the law The works of the flesh it says no man should be justified by The works of the law but I agree with doing good and doing the right under the grace of God we all slip and fall nobody's perfect that's why we must live under the grace of God 24 hours
Romans 12:2 says do not be conformed to this world,but be transformed by the renewing of your mind,that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect Will of god, music has power and it can bring an element into the environment so don't take it lightly
Therefore it is wise to listen to godly music 😇😇
I used to be a metalhead. Luckily not anymore. Praise Yahweh!
I'm 17 and I really like to listen to rap music. I dont want to go to hell. Please pray for me❤🙏
Precious Lord, please let your truth and wisdom flow through your child, like waters gushing out of a rock back in the day of Moses. Please take away desires from your child music you would not have him or her listen to. Praise you, Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus. Anen.

Most definitely, friend! 😉
God helps those who help themselves
@@chaennelchaennel This phrase is not found anywhere in Scripture. Algernon Sidney actually originated that phrase. However, what IS found, among others (too many to list here) is:
Romans 10:13
King James Version
13 "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
God calls on us to turn to Him for our strength and comfort. He never said that we should go it alone.
I’ve got a question here.. if god said “trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your OWN understanding” does that apply to listening to secular music with positive and uplifting messages too?? Because the song isn’t glorifying God but the worlds understanding? Idk Maybe I’m overthinking. I just wanna know someone else’s thoughts 💭
Actually what that verse means is to not take everything in your own hand and believe that you got this especially on your own because we don’t have the answers to everything. It also mean to let God handle it because he has the answers to everything and solutions as well. Hope this helps 💕🤗
99% of Ethiopian Christians believe that secular music is sin
Hey, Amanuel, Yeah you're right, there's a lot of debate about this issue. Most Christians believe that listening to or playing secular music could prevent you from entering the kingdom of GOD, citing Galatians 5:22.
Sooo is it sin or not it made me confused please?@@Beth_Yeshua
I'm a disciple of jesus christ and I live my life in him ,for him and because of him: jesus christ bu, I'm not seeing anything wrong to listen I will always love you by whitney Houston! I'm seeing anything wrong by wearing Gucci or Louis Vuitton ,nothing wrong going to the museum to see amazing arts! The bible says everything good comes from above God, people you should learn to choose what is not bad for your soul and your peace. God is not concerned about the music you listen but your relationship with God is the one concerned the most! We have the holy spirit and he is the one who is able to guide us choosing the best qualities of music and art, clothes etc.
When you go study music, Christians and pagans both start by :DO RÉ MI FÁ SÓ LÂ SI DO...
CHOOSE WISELY WHAT YOU WANT TO LISTEN AND ASK TO THE HOLY SPIRIT IF IT'S GOOD FOR YOUR SOUL.
I WAS A GREAT FAN OF RAP AND TECHNO MUSIC BUT WITH TIME A FELT FEELING MYSELF DIRTY AFTER LISTENING TO RAP SONGS AND THE UGLY MESSAGES INTO THE RAP. IT WAS COMPLETELY CLEAR TO ME THAT I HAD TO STOP LISTENING TO THOSE KINDS OF SONGS... THE HOLY SPIRIT ONLY HIMMM
Listening to worldly musics is not good for christians.
1 john 2:15 Love Not The World Neither The Things That Are In The World. If Any Man Love The World, The Love Of The Father Is Not In Him..
You know the secular musics are in the world and enjoying the world enjoying the things of the world listening to worldy musics watching tvs like enjoying loving the world as if you do love the world the love of the father is not in you. Were living in these last days peoples its time to get right. BECAREFUL WHO YOU LISTEN BECAUSE MANY FALSE PROPHETS ARE GONE TO THIS WORLD IN THESE LASTS DAYS TO DECIEVE MANY!!!.. You shall know by their fruits whether they are good or bad.
Isaak Flett So you are going to give Satan the glory for all the music in the world that doesn't have any lyrics with the word "Jesus" in it? I disagree and doubt that you even listened to the pastors in this video especially the first one. It depends on the message... the content. I'm sorry but listening to the Beatles sing "And I love her" is not a sin. I was like you once... I burnt all my 70's and 80's records in a bonfire and I deeply regret that I did that. On that day... Satan got the Glory not God because I let lies tell me to take the beautiful gift that God gave man and burn it! Just like everything else... there is balance and it's a personal relationship with Jesus that will change your heart and tell you what to listen to and what not to listen to. Legalistic Christianity has done so much damage to people. You need to check your heart and get to know God... the beautiful Creator that puts gifts in man.
Raechelyn Dawn Actually The Beatles are anti-christ and throw up a lot of satanic symbols in their albums and they even have on one of their album covers the wickest man that started the statement “do what thou wilt” in other words, DO WHAT YOU WANT. Not to mention The Beatles is WORLDLY known, listening to them is DEFINITELY a sin and you must repent. God bless 💕
So you are telling me loving meat or rice is a sin heiin, because they are worldly things. I know you will say they have been created by God, yes but know that music is a gift from God too. I will tell you that a sin is doing bad things while knowing that what you are doing is bad. And that's why you see kids doesn't have sins because they don't know about it yet.
In conclusion, if you listen to music and your heart tells you that it's bad, then don't continue listening it,or you will be sinning in that case. And if you heart doesn't feel anything about a song then you good to listen it.
you don’t have to love these things, and this doesn’t apply to super negative secular things. to some extent people need to chill out, be positive and don’t listen to stuff that’ll turn u against the lord. to a certain extent it’s nearly impossible to avoid
I recently learned that my favorite band is composed of satanists, not the kind that pretends to be as a gimmick, but they actually worship Lucifer secretly. This got me disheartened and I'm rethinking my choices in music.
That's scary 😨
Yes! Music is SPIRITUAL. Which spirit is this music from or to whom is it directed? God says to test the spirits weather they be of God.
Wow thank you very much for this🙏🏾
The Temptations 😄. Lots of sex, drugs, and rock and roll going on in the creative process of those songs.
halfwaydowntheroad but where do we draw the line? Some secular songs don’t deal with sex and drugs
The lead singer of the Temptations, David Ruffin, died in a crack house after overdosing on crack cocaine.
What about "My Girl"
Short answer: No
Micah Ubisi provide proof, scripture, etc. not your opinion, true facts from the Bible that says it is. Not bc you say so, but bc of what God says. I say garbage in, garbage out. As long as the lyrics aren’t filthy and ungodly, and don’t lead you from God, I believe it’s fine.
@@reckless875 okay sir...I'm gonna give u the scriptures...but u also must give me the scriptures that says u can listen secular music....Colossians 3:16 and Ephesians 5:19...why does the apostole encourage us to do what the scriptures are saying?
@@reckless875 let me tell you something about secular music...it doesn't praise God in any way ...it creates a fantasy....for an example ...Rnb or soul...
Micah Ubisi look man i admire that you put scripture, I do. However, not all secular music is evil and bad. I agree if its got language and has a terrible message, then no don’t listen to it. But if it’s a good clean song that actually has a message, I don’t see the harm. There’s no scripture that says thou shalt not listen to music that doesn’t sing about God. Should we sing praises and hymns? Yes. But if it’s not Christian music does it make it automatically bad? No. I’ve heard hymnals that are biblically off before.
Micah Ubisi Then you shouldn't look at artwork, cars, movies or read any books. Just sit there and read your Bible 24/7. I'm a believer in Christ but your legalism is ridiculous. God gave gifts to man... man is created in God's image. Just because music isn't directly saying Jesus and God does not mean it's NOT giving God glory. Satan gets waaaay to much credit for too many things and well-meaning Christians are the worst when it comes to putting bondages and chains on man. Chill out.
Classical music 🎶 with composers like Bach are fine to listen too. Also Handel who wrote Messiah.
Thanks for the message God bless u
I listen to some extreme genres of secular music like death metal and even sometimes listen to black metal and blackened genres of metal (not all the time) But I dont subject myself to the lyrics, even when I know the lyrics. And thats because I keep a strong mind and know that the evil flowing through the lyrical context will not corrupt me. I believe in the gospel and I know Jesus loves me. I listen to it primarily for the instrumentation. Stating your mind about certain secular topic is just an art form in the material world, and the idea of art is a gift given to us by God. It allows us to appreciate the material world through so many different perspectives that dont include our own, yet art can be interpreted in our own seperate ways, and we can choose to ignore certain aspects of an art form if we dont deem them fit in our lifestyle, yet appreciate other details and thing about that SAME art form. Its not a sin to experience art, but it can be a sin if you perceive it the wrong way. And thats on the power and ability to resist the forces of darkness on yourself. God bless 🙏
i personally agree, but i am not sure if this is legit right or we can be influenced without knowing
Trust me, you guys are fine lol
Even the Christian music is just as corrupt as the worldly because of the sound and frequency of these music production and instruments.
That's My discovery.
Friendship with the world is knowingly choosing enmity with God.
exactly brother
I don't understand, what are you saying.
@@joseambriz5897 the key, the frequency and timbre, the tempo, the notes, all these and more are weaponized by the enemy to manipulate human consciousness.
Pray to the Holy Spirit for more revelation and understanding.
@@ngreat4390 what do you mean. Do you have any proof?
I see nothing "wrong" with "secular music" per se, but I set myself limits on lyrical content.
I love listening The Beatles, Eric Clapton, Motown etc, but my heart belongs to Christ and so do my ears, so I won't listen to anything overtly suggestive or violent.
I listen to death metal and just wanted to know what would happen even though im athiest😂
@@midgethater2238 I Think according to christianity it depends upon lyrics and the artist, Genre does not matter
The Beatles are known to have hated Christ. They made a pile of hundreds of Bibles and burned them to prove that. Do you really support people like that?
As a musician, I can tell you, those bands are from satan and corrupt us! I loved that type of music, cannot stand it now. An insider for the Beatles said, " they were the most antichrist ppl I've ever met.' Will it keep you from heaven? I don't know, will it corrupt you? Yes, it will. Study the origins of rock music! Satan uses a million things to destroy us! Listen I'm the last person I thought would reject rock music, but God himself showed me. I was a huge who fan. God showed me they were used! A tool. God bless you
Added: rock, in general, is rebellion, sex, the lust of the flesh, gain the whole world, pride, idolatry, ...you don't think a stadium full of 50,000 ppl is idolatry? Absolutely! Modern-day idolatry! I learned this the hard way!! With that, I'm not trying to rain on your parade or be legalistic, I'm trying to show you that certain entertainment is from satan. Too be avoided. Jesus said " follow me" I just couldn't see Jesus at a rock concert lol
I understand and agree with the fact if we claim to be followers of Christ we should not accept or condone everything that is in the world. I also look at the fact that that you should not be legalistic to shun everything either. I view music the same way I view TV and holidays celebrations. We as believers have to understand just because a song or film may not say or have Christanity next to it does not mean it is evil. Even the hymns of the church were written by heathens.People like to quote the scripture that says you can't serve God and mammon when it comes to the secular music subject. The bible also says in Phillipians 4:8 Whatsoever is pure and of good report and have any good value to think on these things. My answer to this is if the song no matter if it is R&B, Pop, or Rock and it advocates uplifting messages that the scriptures condone it's not a sin listen to it. But if it is promoting the filth and sins of the world then we do not need admire it.That is the reason why the bible says in Psalms 97 :10 He that loves the Lord hates evil. It also says in Roman 12:2 Do not be confirmed to world but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind for the same reason.
We love our titles don’t we ? What’s wrong with Brother Jim? Sister Fran? Or Brother Bill? For example.
Oh thank you ! Thank you !!! Your wisdom helped me
@Ceed , ooh that's a good question . Honestly, no . I feel very convicted by your question . Thank you 😊!!!
Both secular music and motion picture destroy your fellowship with God because they are gross idolatries. We never consider that the actors and musicians are destroying their souls by not fleeing from the wrath to come. My Christian brother and sister, would you like to hear the trumpet sound for the bride while you are listening to secular music?
So you are telling me loving meat or rice is a sin heiin, because they are worldly things. I know you will say they have been created by God, yes but know that music is a gift from God too. I will tell you that a sin is doing bad things while knowing that what you are doing is bad. And that's why you see kids doesn't have sins because they don't know about it yet.
In conclusion, if you listen to music and your heart tells you that it's bad, then don't continue listening it,or you will be sinning in that case. And if you heart doesn't feel anything about a song then you good to listen it.
i personally agree with yours words
@@chaennelchaennel thanks for seeing the prospects of my thoughts. I may be wrong, but that's how I feel from my heart.
How do I know if what I think is wrong is my own thought? For example, I have been raised to think that wearing nail polish is sinful. It's a thought that has been pushed into my mind from a child. Can I trust my heart to then point me to what is really sinful or not?
Short answer is ... YES, tell me if I am wrong from the Bible
But actually no
@@vierinovelo5565 people say No because they love the world and they fallow their feelings, instead of GOD.
@Erik The Existor you need to understand that we must not follow our feelings and emotions because we are natural sinful, anytime we follow our own feelings we might fall, for example: i emotionally or i feel to have sex. Jusy because i feel having sex i am not gonna do it. The point is that we Christian must do anything in the name of Jesus CHRIST in other word, whatever we do we must do it to the glory of God. Also The bible teachs that we must not be like the word, if you are listening to the world's music, then you are being like them, we must be separate from the world and grow in our spiritual life. I could give you many reasons why, but.....you know.
@@esseyshimbahri6301 so God wants us to just read, and find out and worship him 24/7? no it says nothing about secular music and stuff/shows that curse ect. you can listen and watch what you want (i dont think the nasty scenes is something you should watch though) as LONG as it doesn't affect your relationship with God for example, reading the bible less or talking to him less make time for God I'm sure u can listen and watch cursing shows and music, but do not let it infulen you to sin/ temptations.
@@esseyshimbahri6301 Exactly! The Bible says that you can't get sweet and bitter Water, from the same Fountain.
James 3:11
"Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter?"
It also states in Revelation 3:16 that you must be either hot, or cold. You can't be both.
Revelation 3:16
"So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."
Great conversation
I LOVE THESE MEN OF GOD AND THEIR OPINIONS.LET EVERYONE BE CONVINCED IN HIS OWN MIND ACCORDING TO THE WORD OF GOD.

There is a older senior social media celebrity who claims to be a Born Again Christian but he dances to secular music and shakes his groove thing in front of the camera. He has danced all his life. He once condemned me for being a gay Christian but will shake his behind for the camera for several seconds in certain videos. This makes me angry because people who live in a glass house shouldn’t throw stones. He has even made dance videos to Pit Bull songs. I listen to secular music because I do not find anything wrong with it. I just have a problem with so-called Christian’s condemnation but turning around and doing the same thing. I hope that I get a true response!
The lead singer of the Temptations, David Ruffin, died in a crack house after overdosing on crack cocaine. 4:05
Love it brothers
If I listen to acoustic soft songs about love is it secular also don’t really know what secular means
i personally agree with one of the first comments that said that if your heart doesn't tell you anything about being wrong about the music you're listening to, you're good. i'm open to hear others' opinions.
I didn't know this stuff if it wasn't for one of my friends who is Muslim and told me that Muslims and Christians have similar "rules". in fact even for Christians listening to certain music is wrong.
Since yesterday i've been do some researches and i got to this video, and i'm glad i've been hearing different people's opinions which were low-key similar.
In my humble opinion, we all cannot know for sure what is wrong and what is not, because it can be relative and changing based on the situation. For example if someone who is highly depressed commit suicide, I'm sure God will not abandon him/her but try to save His child.
At this point I believe that there are there are some stages of our life that we somehow go through at the end.
For example adolescence. This is a really delicate stage of our life when we are mostly rebels especially against our parents and sometimes even society. I'm a 17 year-old and a lot of my contemporaries smoke, use drugs, get drunk and so on. Personally I do not do any of these stuff and I am not so sure that these kids are committing a sin (I AM NOT SURE because i still don't know much about the Bible, so correct me if I am stating something wrong) and I respect their choices even if I high-key do not share them, and they know, but I just think it's their stuff, as long as it doesn't effect me I can enjoy their company without "throwing them away".
But that friend told me that even all of this stuff is a sin because it's "damaging" your body which before yours is God's creation (and I low-key agree with this statement).
The fact is that society if growing so fast and everything is changing, there are a lot of things that were a scandal ages ago and that now are considered legit (like divorce, abort etc.)
Sometimes I agree think that this "Old Book" needs a little refresh to somehow "follow" our time, so I question myself a lot too.
For example, going back to the adolescence thing, we know that most of teens in their blossoming age finding out their bodies masturbate, who more who less who not at all. In my PERSONAL opinion (after past a year reflecting on this subject) I realize that this is not something too ""sinful"" because it is considered normal; because it's a stage of our lives that will vanish after a certain age.
Now, going back to the main topic of the video, I personally think that if a certain music makes you happy, feel relaxed, distress then it's okay to listen to it. But there are somehow a lot of songs dealing about using drugs, a lot (mostly) american songs dealing about sexuality, songs' choreographs that have sensual moves etc. well, what you wanna do? Don't listen to music? I personally can't do such a thing, because of the previous reasons.
It is not true that if I listen to something that has in the lyrics something doing with drugs i'll become corrupted, not at all in my case (same with the smoking stuff and sexual perversions). I am not even a native English speaker so naturally I won't get completely everything of what lyrics is speaking about (plus I listen to italian songs, which is my country, and Korean songs - same here: I won't understand everything they say, I just enjoy music). So what about just enjoying and feeling music? If that makes you feel good and stops thoughts passing through your head giving you stress?
If we follow every single word of the commands then what about the one stating not to kill? (in italian "You shall not murder" was translated into "Do not kill") Don't we eat meat? Don't we kill mosquitoes or cockroaches? (You see what I mean?)
Another personal thought I would discuss is about dancing.
We all know that hip-hop, latina, classical dance classes are very popular nowadays. A lot of different dance style are studied by millions of people (I've been a dancer as well), so what about dancing in a certain way? Is it considered sinful? Maybe some moves are a bit hard, at the border line but if the aim of the dancer is to show off how much passion and effort he/she has put throughout his/her studies, if every of his/her moves
where sweated days, months because he/she likes this discipline, because he/she likes to dance... then what? Should it be banned? I don't agree with that. I personally think there must be a equilibrium:
if all of the choreography is based on twerking I agree that this is sexual, this is "tempting" and make someone we know what, but if the choreography has a little bit of this, a little bit of that, a little bit of twerk, a little bit of pop moves, how can it be considered sinful? How can I be considered sinful if I dance o a song that makes me feel confident, that raise my autostime, that makes me no more feel like a sheep in a bunch of wolves, how?
I think we all need to have autostime and dancing, acting and so on help us a lot (especially when you're a teen). So how can a dance teen be considered sinful under this point of view?
In my opinion this teen is legally showing his/her God's gift: he/she is showing his/her abilities, he/she's showing what God gifted to him/her.
How can this be considered a sin? If he/she makes it look in a bad malicious way, then, okay, maybe it can be considered like that, but what if it is not? it is just made it like a normal thing?
I maybe be wrong but I feel like this should be considered under different point of views and then classified as okay or not, because of everything I wrote up.
I just think that it's okay to make a mistake, the society after-all makes us doing that by foce of circumstances a lot of times. I believe that if we pray God, He will light up our hearts and make us see the right path to follow. If we trust our heart, we will not be caught in the wrong path, if we do something in good faith. And, sometimes, if we fail, it's okay, we are human, we can't be perfect, we're weak, we fall, we go up: we just need to find strength in the Lord and He will save us from falling again ❤
Too much words girl
Reduce them words next time
A person must die to himself and take up his cross to serve the Lord. When you take that oath with the Lord, you can't be of the world or it's contents. That means rebuking everything worldly,
So no jazz without lyrics?
Well jazz really wasn't in mind when I gave my opinion, I meant like hardcore rap, metal, hip hop, etc, even rated R movies. If I want to correctly follow Christ, I must stay away from worldly things. There's a difference between a believer and follower, but it's entirely up to the individual. Mentioning myself, I choose to fully give and devote myself to Jesus Christ and his teachings. It's not easy, but I do enjoy being clear minded 😀
Michael Sanchez how do I follow Jesus and rebuke everything..that seems so hard for me. Especially high school with so many people being apart of the world. The phones. Video games. Basketball. All of these things I don’t know how to follow the lord like that.. deep down I feel like that’s what I want and need but I can’t really imagine that right now especiallywith my situation
Well Ruben, you have to find a source of holiness, a Christian community, a Christian Church. It is there you will get to know Jesus on a personal level, like I had to. I understand your situation and it is tough, living in a world that doesn't know Jesus Christ. Try prayer, it's the first step, let Jesus Christ know your thoughts and wants, he will hear you. Christ will guide you in the right direction, don't be worried, he will provide just as long as you acknowledge his principles. The world wants you to be distracted because the enemy doesn't want you to know the truth, that Jesus Christ is the way and the truth of the world, believe in him and see it for yourself. Be bold and take that first step, your life will be the same. But its entirety up to you
Michael Sanchez what are Jesus principles? What would happen if I have faith in Jesus but I fail to completely repent. I don’t want to go to hell if but I want to enjoy myself in video games..and watching RUclips.
Christian or secular? I listen to music that makes feel good inside and carry on in this life. Some days are good and some are bad. I actually don’t even think like the title of a genre called “Christian music” but an artist sharing there story/life and faith of what they believe in. I create music, recorded my first album in Afghanistan. Do I swear in some songs, yes. Is there songs where I speak about God, thank him or asking for his guide-dense, yes... There are days when I bump that Tupac, Snoop Dogg, Dmx, Lana Del Rey, Demi Levato, Eminem, Elton John, Nas, Wiz. Etc.... You get the point... And then there is days when I listen to Lauren Daigle, Kirk Franklin, Third Day, Jeremy Camp... which Most would call “Christian music”... Do I need to cut out all artist except “Christian Music”? From my life? Should I never write any more lyrics, create my own music, and perform it because every song isn’t about God or the Bible??? The answer is no Ladies and Gentlemen. The answer is no.
- Blake Kabage
How about if it is instrumental
Also too who is to say what is Christian and what is not? Who is to say your beliefs are wrong and someone else are right? Answer this... Between these songs by Kirk Franklin “Do you wanna he happy” Lauren Daigle “You Say” or “Rescue Me”, Third Day, “Cry out to Jesus” or God Of Wonders”.... The “Christian Music Genre” and then compare it to your so called “Secular Music” And Take a listen to (DMX) and his song called “Lord Give Me A Sign”. They ALL SOUND LIKE SONGS ABOUT FAITH AND HOPE TO ME. THEY ALL TALK ABOUT GOD TO ME. But You already know you will hear that Super, Duper, “I’m above everybody”, the Top leader, the “individuals who don’t share or show love towards others as much as they stay judging them, the All holy of holy “So called Christians” be like... No Dmx is secular. He is this. His music is this. This song can’t be Christian music and is secular because the rest of his album he swears. Lmao 😂 🤣😂 Shut Uuuuuup
When I'm feeling nostalgic I'll look.up an instrumental to a song. I've outgrown the lyrics to 90% of the music I used to listen to. I just love hearing the music without all the vulgarity.
Just remember, it doesnt matter if you go to church twice a week, pray for every single event of your day, serve and love your master in every way you can...its not enough if the music you listen to doesnt exist primarily to praise the almighty god. He gave you EVERYTHING and if you don't stop to thank him at least once every 10 minutes then you are a sorrowfully selfish, secular, sinner...Now some people might be thinking 'what a needy god that must be' ...well I must tell you that thinking that way is a sin... But as far as that secular music goes you must be afraid!! We are so spiritually fragile that any lyric about something other than OOOH LORD YOU ARE MY KING!! OOOOH YEA YEA YEA YOU ARE MY SAVIOR JEEEEEESUS will surely destroy us. Just remember, any mention of sex or drugs means you must never ever listen to it even though its probably better sounding. Oooh god please protect us from this scary music!!! Its Satan! Hes trying to get us! We cant decide on our own what to listen to!!! We are sooo weak but through CHRIST we are strong. And since we are so weak, that means any instinct we have about what to listen to or about anything contradictory to the GOOD BOOK must surely be wrong. Dear God, i pray that we may continue to fear you and praise you and please you, and that our future generations can continue to be good little sheep, in your name, amen
did u just say once every 10 mins? is that like 200 times a day?
There are Christian music artists that will write love songs 🎵 for their wives.
Can i listen to BTS ? cz they only share good message .
This is so true
Nope it isn’t a sin. So… anyone want a coffee?
Apparently, I just gave a difficult question the easiest answer. My late Dad was a CofE vicar. I grew up knowing to guys who later became Archbishop of Canterbury, I know a vicar (now an Arch Bishop who once got his meds mixed up, had a glass of wine with a meal and woke up in a skip three miles from his house.
Twinkle twinkle little star is secular, old MacDonald is secular, Frozen is secular, let there be love is secular, that’s amore is secular the list goes on for miles. Don’t be close minded.
It all depends again the intention of the music and words.
It's a sin to listen to idol worshippers, like these man
HalLeLuYAH'shua
My God is powerful. You think he cannot or will not speak to someone through heavy metal. You do not know the Father or the Son.
The topic is secular music, and then you start talking about lyrics and messages. Words are not music.
@@solaade8297 Musically, there is no difference. Music is music. It can be classified by genre, Classical, Country, Rock, Jazz, etc..... But, any music called "Gospel" is called that because of the words, and it can be played in any of the previously mentioned musical genres.
Eniola Adelusi The words. The instruments are the same. The words are ARE different. What about music without lyrics? This legalistic Christian nonsense is the reason so many unsaved souls dislike Christianity.
Don Mcc melody is music, if you don’t have a melody you don’t have a song regardless of the type of words. So let me ask you all this: how do we differentiate a secular melody from a Christian one????
I would not say a sin but definitely bad for you.
Answer: NOPE. Christianity has so many rules because of the cavemen who wrote them, kept changing them/adding to them/erasing things/editing, etc, in order to control you. It's that simple. Listen to music that speaks to your heart and soul. Don't make this complicated and stressful to your life.
No one is saying it was a sin. But it is not good for you and serving Yahweh will be harder
No, it is not.
It's not a hard question. NO!!!
But it can easily be the cause of your sin.
Anne murray is secular music but it's not sinful have some discernment hip hop rock roll is awful and sinful but motown music the early stuff alot of it is not sinful but it became sinful with marvin gaye as he got older when he started doing songs like sexual healing and I heard it through the grapevine but his early music is not sinful. Ccm most of it is sinful because it has a rock roll sensual sound the lyrics matter so does the sound the lyrics should be primary not the best it's like dancing there's sensual dancing and there is dancing for the Lord and if you dance for the Lord like the Jewish christians did it's not sinful african christians dance and nothing sinful or sensual use Godly discernment
