Really? Have you ever heard of a musical artist who writes his own lyrics write something that he didn't come up with through personal experience? What about "Slim Shady"? What...? My point was, just because somebodys lyrics arent christian doesnt mean they arent nice people..there ARE nice non-christians out there.

ugh...ok I am only gonna say this one more time, you CANT just judge somebodys personality over some dumb music lyrics! I don't even listen to Ozzy but I don't make snap judgements about him just cause of the way he looks..until you people actually get to know him IN PERSON, don't be calling him a "Satanist" just cause of some dumb tv program you saw about him or w/e....

I USED to be a Christian for a few years..so my answer might not count but here it is anyway: One thing that troubled me was how could Christians be so sure that Christianity was the one true religion when every other religion was saying that their religion was the one true religion too..what if theyre right and we were wrong..ya i know it sounds kinda dumb but still it creeped me out.

IMHO, I don't agree with this theory, I have been listening to the same music for years and haven't changed a bit. How do you explain that? For example, I heard a song the other day bout stealin...did I go out and carjack someone? Nope.

the only artist in that list I've heard is Jay-Z...he's good.

^ He's right, it doesnt.

Same Difference Night Light theres a ton of them

My friend just said that he can't access the boards anymore, I think he was banned but he says he didn't do anything or break any rules. Can somebody explain? Maybe there was some mistake in the Worthyboards database? I even read all of his posts and they were all fine to me. Just thought I'd bring this to your attention, I didn't know where to put it so I put it here. Peas.

WHAT?!?!?! I come back on this site after 3 months and people are accusing me again of being somebody else again. I am not "ThaGangsta", but it looks like you people banned him just for liking rap music? That's a horrible reason. Unban him.

People can listen to whatever music they want to. It's their choice, not yours.

Reading your post all of a sudden made me nervous. Really, sometimes I think I'm a Christian, and then I get this feeling I'm not a true one and it goes back and forth. How do I know?! I said that I believed in Jesus and confessed and did everything..but to some people here it seems that believing is not enough. You have to completely change in some, and I don't know how to do that. I was really serious when I first tried to become a christian..but then I drift away from christianity every couple months and it gets irritating. I end up always starting over! So really I'm just confused right now.

Well ladies and gentlemen, in a few days (June 9th, to be specific) it will be Slim's one year anniversary of joining this site. Heh, I've met several interesting people and have had many entertaining discussions on this site with you guys that I won't forget...Dr. Luke...BobTriez...IslandSouljah...and several others...good times...you guys are cool. Anyway, here's to another fun year. Peace out homeys! The Shady One

Slim Shady is the nickname of a particular music artist I like, and JB is my initials

I like rap music! *dodges flying rocks being thrown at me*

Thank you all for your responses, but I do have some questions and comments.. I am not sure what you mean. I do believe everything about Jesus, and I accept it as the truth, if that's what your asking. As for my lifestyle..I don't know, I still swear and struggle with certain sins like everyone else...I'm not sure if I'm still the same as before I got saved, I never paid attention. But for some people it takes a long time to change, for some people it takes months, and for others it takes years. I think it is called sanctification, we work our whole lives becoming more holy. I do agree and believe with most of what u said though thanks

I still believe everything about Jesus and wat he did and said and stuff and I said the prayer to become Christian...but I haven't read the Bible or prayed for weeks.now I'm having doubts....am I still saved? Thanks homies

rent 8 Mile..... lol just kidding

Tell them to listen to a great rapper, an example would be Eminem. They'll catch on quick.

Yeah, I'm a Christian as of this second, but not a very good one, I never read my Bible or pray or go to church on sundays or listen to christian music, plus I swear a lot and have sinful thoughts and i always give in to temptation. Sometimes I just think about giving it all up and leaving religion because it is so hard.

Start with the four Gospels Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, then go to Acts and Romans I guess...then read some other New Testament books...then after that check out Psalms and some Old Testament books.

How come I can't put a picture in my signature? I tried enclosing the link in IMG tags but it just says the link, it doesnt show the picture. I used tinypic.com to get my pictures saved on my computer so I can just enter in the link. I want to put a picture of Eminem in my sig. (By the way, I haven't been here for months, the whole sites been changed around, so I have no idea if some new rule came about or whatever. Sorry if I put this in the wrong category, I had no idea where to put it, lol.)

I have the same problem...whenever I pray..I don't feel any different..not sadder or happier. I'm just like "Yeah, God heard my prayer, great, now what do I do?" So I pray the same stuff over again, making sure I do it right. It's hard for me to believe that God hears my prayers even though I don't feel different. I expect to hear some voice or feel more happier, but I don't.

I have been wondering the same thing lately, sort of. I swear constantly and think sinful thoughts every day. So I am not sure if I have repented..but I have prayed the prayer to become a Christian and I believe everything that Jesus did, but I still have the urge to sin sometimes and I haven't lost the desire to sin. This isn't right and I don't know how to correct it. I read my Bible and spend time in prayer every night now. My Christian walk is a little messed up, I'll admit. I know we will always sin..but sometimes I feel that I'm sinning way too much to call myself a Christian. I don't know what to do about it.

Well, one day a couple years ago, I was just thinking "Hmm...what if there really is a Hell? and what if it is really bad as people say it is? Eternal pain, suffering, loneliness, torment. That would really suck, and Heaven sounds so much better." So then I said "Screw Satan" and accepted Jesus into my life. My life didn't really change much, but at least I know now that if there really is a Heaven, I'm more than likely going to it.

First Josh- no one is getting annoyed with you- we're here to build each other up! Now, I have a question about your statement above. You don't have to answer publically, but I want to give you something to think of- is the only reason why you're a Christian is to avoid eternal damnation? Be honest with yourself here- it's very important. Lemme tell you why- a very good friend of mine pointed out to me that my motive for what I wanted (in my personal relationship with God), was completely wrong. I desired things for MY joy and MY comfort. And you know what he told me? It's about HIM- not you, not me, not anyone. So let me ask you again- what is your motive- to avoid Hell and save yourself? Or is it to glorify God and be used to build His kingdom? PM me if I can help you in any way. Shannon Well I understand your beliefs..thanks for the advice... Actually I became a Christian because I wanted to stay out of Hell AND serve God and serve his kingdom and all that..so it was actually two reasons...don't know if they were the correct reasons..I think they are but whatever...I'm trying my best.
