But is it? The concept of doing thing everything decently and in order does come to my mind here. I don’t think that it could be said of that type of music that it has done, decorously, with nobility, and good form.

I imagine Flock is getting overwhelmed right now with feedback and questions from people. That doesn’t excuse their lack of response, but again, I would imagine they don’t have the resources to respond the avalanche of questions and requests given to them in this tempest.

In the other thread that I talked about going to the reformed church recently there were four “singers” on the left side of the church platform, and the musicians were on the right side. Of those four singers, one was much more clearly “performative” with their body gestures (including how they...

I think this begins to hit at the core of our discussion. Is the emotions that are affected by music a product of social conditioning to the music, or by the very nature of the sounds produced?

It really was not ad hominem, but rather a little bit of head-scratching that you would glean support from such questionable sources while chasing your obsession.

I know a godly young man ready to go on the mission field who likes Christian metal. It is an exercise in cognitive dissonance in my estimation, but his testimony is solid. I just can’t fathom how that sound is God honoring.

Is this the Christian Identity founder?

Nothing would gripe your granny more. 😉

Is He supposed to quote the Bible in order to believe a specific course of international policy?
