Excuse the title, it'll make sense once you start reading. So do just that!
Did you know that today happens to be a Tuesday. Tuesday, November 2 to be exact. Is there any significance to this particular day in history? Nope, there's nothing special about it. Except, this day (and any other day for that matter) was specifically seen by God. Every second in this day was planned by the creator.
Yesterday (November 1st!) I read a blog post by a "Christian." He was talking about "poking fun" at Christianity. It was directly relating to a design by a band called Impending Doom. It was a "repentagram." It is a pentagram with four extra points. I had read (somewhere) that the nine points were to be interpreted as the nine fruits of the spirit. (I won't say them, for the fact that I don't know them, and I won't pretend to be a perfect Christian.)
However, this guy (I won't mention his name, though you can read the whole thing for yourself here) was saying how it was evil because the pentagram was a Satanic symbol.
For the fact that I don't know exactly what he said (and I'm terrible at quoting) I will go on to the next point that really irked me. He went on to claim how God absolutely despised metal, because "it is from the pits of Hell." Whenever anyone else tried to say otherwise, he arrogantly went back to this, as if he himself were God.
Someone tried saying that it wasn't about the fashion in which they were worshiping, but that it was the fact that they were worshiping. How church music wasn't the only form of worship. Because, of course, it's about the heart, not the way in which you display it. The music is about the lyrics, not the way in which one goes about saying them! But, of course, he was completely arrogant and refused to listen to the voice of reason.
What do you guys have to say about the matter? Not just in metal music, but alternative forms of worship in general?
Well obviously the only music God accepts are southern baptist hymns (sarcasm). Yeah that's pretty ignorant if I may say so myself.
ReplyDeleteAnd secondly, music isn't the only way to worship God, we worship God by feeding the poor and taking care of orphans, we worship God loving our neighbor, we worship God by believing in God.
