And you didn't ask but, "Christian rock" "Christian rap" "Christian country" "Christian pop" "Christian jazz" etc bands are all oxymoron's and shouldn't be used in the same sentence. Please do not think that junk is what we listen to.
As your moderator I am warning you to stop calling people oxymorons. As golfhos, we all need to carry ourselves with more dignity than that. Moderation will be swift if you choose to ignore my warning.
There is no need for personal attacks.
Oh brother, how about the 9,999,999 Bush bashing threads? The daily Prokrop bashing threads? The ...
Usually deserved.
But I think the moderator was having a bit of fun in a thread that will have no one changing their mind any time soon. If I'm wrong I'll be moderated into oblivion and bid you a fond adieu...................

Sorry E-A-G-L-E/Torpedo. I can't buy into your position on what qualifies as worship music. It's what's in the heart that matters. Not what spills from the lips. Into The Mystic by Van the Man (many of his songs are very Christian in message but by no means would he primarily be considered a Christian artist). If, on a sunny Sunday morning, I'm listening to that while riding a chairlift and staring at the beauty of creation I'm about as close to God as I get. I'm sorry my approach seems lacking in credentials to you. I'll be honest, I feel both of you are missing something very important on this one. The position you've presented today seems, for lack of a better word, snobbish. I think it rubs people the wrong way. It does me. Probably no more than some of my language and/or jokes do you though. LOL.
I'm really not trying to be snobbish, nor rub someone the wrong way.
I tried to at least be tactful. I just don't see it as a means that can glorify God from *every* angle. However, that's not to say that it *never* can glorify God. For most people, the beat is first, the lyrics secondary. That you focus on the lyrics and the meaning, I think is important. Most don't, they get sucked into the background.
I also think that there are standards in the Bible that are missed. I'm not going to judge you for what you listen to. (I won't judge anyone else about what they listen to, either.) Nor will I say you're lacking credentials, I really won't. Because, like you said, it's what is in the heart that matters. What matters firstly, in the long run, is if you are right with God. After that, it is our walk with Christ, which has to be based on the Bible.
Like I said in another post, there's disagreement on this point (music), and you and I disagree. I'd feel bad for not telling someone what I think the Scriptures say on an issue if they were open to talking about it. However, there is also a time to close such discussions, and I think this might be it. At least, for right here, right now. I'd be open to discussing it in e-mails, though. And I certainly don't want to sound like I'm just trying to get the last word in. If you all want to discuss it that's fine, but I feel like I should be done 'cause others want to be done.

Oh, BTW, congrats on your new job, Seamus!
Yeah, I was just thinking that I completely jacked his thread.
Sorry, Seamus.
Really am glad that you're getting back to the work force.
Hope it will be something you enjoy.

I rarely delve into religious matters due to the heat generated, yet I feel compelled to add a few cents now, and perhaps more later.

No *goshdarn* *feces* man.
I was going to pop in and tell you what Grimey MacNasty said and did today that made me laugh, but by about the middle of page two I started feeling really bad.
Can we just have a group hug and move onto...something...anything.
On a related note I was able to hijack the player today and pop in his Nickelback CD (we listened to it for 6 hours), it was the lesser of 9 evils.
How 'bout that Prokrop/Phileo guy huh? Sheeesh what an ass.

I'd like too and it's a hoot with this dude, but I really don't want to offend my friends here that are true believers, and that really was not my intentions, I forgot that if you combine the words hate and Christian with anything it really brings out the passion in people.
Clearly I have

Christian Rock or Nickelback. Tough call. Seriously.
