   A Christian artist may not just play music but may paint or write. Christian painters and writers can create non-Christian pieces of art, so I don’t see why a Christian musician can’t create or play non-Christian music. Just be careful what the music is.

   Christians can be very judgmental and hypocritical. They aren’t right when they do that. You need to look up the devils chord – the Britons, and the perfect 4th and perfect 5th. That will give you insight on the influence different types of music has on the brain.

   I don’t understand that attitude. Perhaps too many people are leading their ‘Christian’ lives based on some legalistic interpretation rather than walking in the Spirit? As Christians our actions and lives should glorify God, if the way you conduct yourself and live your life shows an obedient heart and fruits of His Spirit, whether the art you produce is explicitly Bible based or not is irrelevant. Is it lovely, will it bring joy to someone? Provided it does not promote values that contradict God’s I see no issue.

   I think you can create other music. Our words and actions should always be subject t to Christ and His righteousness. If you want to write a love song to your wife as nd produce it that is still honoring to God.

   There’s also a lot of controversy around Hillsong and Bethel, for example.

   Even “Christian” music can be highly controversial.

   Also Kanye West did an entire Jesus album. Occasionally the unexpected artists can also make Christian music. ?

   If it’s not anti Christian, why not?

   You can as long as the song doesn’t go against the Word. I do listen to other songs, but try to limit it because whatever you hear that doesn’t edify you it will slowly develops the negative feelings in your heart and thoughts in your brain. And that affects the whole body and for that the devil uses it…you will start to lean on to your own understanding and you gradually willing to go against the teachings of the Lord. (Apostasy)

   Answer the Bibel vs Babel controversy of Christianity vs Culture.
   If you have an antagonistic view going in you come away from the table with one.
   Christianity is either Condemnatory, Critical, Confirming, or it is Consecrating what is Christian in the culture. My redaction of J. Gresham Machen Role of Christianity in culture. PTR c. 1910.
   All the arts can either be Consecrated or you will have:
   1. Absolute Separatist’s all things in culture are Ungodly.
   2. We must study culture and endorse its good for Christianity.
   3. We must legislate the good in society for Christianity.
   4. We must consecrate all of our means for all of our end the glorification of God combination 1-4.
   Views 1-3 inadequate alone.
   View 1. Negative Nancy’s. See where Party got in Peanuts.
   View 2. Strength of ego in one generation confirm becomes conform within a generation syncretism.
   View 3. The Volstead Act and prohibition.
   Did I capture the general horizon of the picture?
   Hope this helps. Kate Marie Wendi.?

    Problems is they make it about themselves. Heavily marketing themselves so people follow THEM instead of Jesus. Look at this guy Tauren Wells for example.

    I see nothing wrong with them crossing over, as long as it isn’t about the devil. I agree with you about musicans , they love all kinds of music, It does not mean they love the evil but they don’t listen to that. They listen to the sounds, the music. They are a different bred than the regular person who listens to music. A art all of their own. Nicholas Wallace

    My LH loved music. He was a musician himself. He would tell me ” oh listen to that horn” “do you hear that” “Or do you hear this” He picked out all kinds of sounds I never paid much attention to. I learned allot about music from him. I also sing, so I hear different tones, ranges in a singers voices, that others might not hear. Nicholas Wallace

    Scripture deals with all of life, so our songs can deal with all of life. It is wrong to think that all “non-religious ” music is of the devil. We must not sing about sleeping with groupies or the glory of drugs or drowning our sorrows in booze. But take a song like “I Love You” by The Climax Blues Band or “Lean on Me” by Bill Withers. I don’t think those songs are wrong. Good love songs are not wrong.

    It’s not. People are over critical.

    Danny Gokey is a good example of a Christian artist who writes both secular and Christian music. I’ve been fan of his for years. Personally, I listen to his Christian music, but I have no doubt the heart and the passion he pours into all of his music helps to reach the lost for Jesus. Go where God tells you to go and don’t worry about the naysayers. On judgment day, they will be busy answering for themselves.

    Many Christians reject most secular music precisely because it does not glorify God! Wordless Beethoven is different from a country-western about lust or despair or a pop song about self-worth even though the music itself is beautiful in all those cases. The function of the music is to make the words acceptable. If you can sing that secular song directly to Christ with a good conscience, then sing it – Christ is always with His called-out ones (Matthew 28:20b).

    What is the music dedicated to? Music is the highest form of worship. If you dedicate music to a particular subject that subject is basically glorified, unless you attack the subject.
    I think you must choose your musical affiliation or else you are in it purely for yourself – Christian content or no Christian content.

    some “Christian” music doesn’t glorify God. For example, hillsong sings a song that promotes evolution. That detracts from the word of God and in no way honors God.
