A weird question

[Churchmouse]

Does this music give you feelings that are uncomfortable, with as a Christian? Bottom line is what the Holy spirit tells you and that you can find searching your conscience.  The thing is that if your sister gets the album, you will still be able to hear such things and if you are fond of some of the music you may be tempted back into desiring it. The Bible speaks of this in  second Timothy 2:22

2 Timothy 2:22  Run from temptations that capture young people. Always do the right thing. Be faithful, loving, and easy to get along with. Worship with people whose hearts are pure.

If I were you and my sister was going to buy this, i would have a long heart to heart with her and If she did not see the danger, I would invest in a good set of headphones to listen to my own music through.

   Hi,welcome to Worthy.......I'm confused,If I may ask "Are you a Christian?"  The Seekers Lounge is the Forum reserved for unbelievers,seekers & guests to ask us Faith related questions,here we spread the Gospel & point to Jesus,so I am not sure if you just posted here because you just felt like it or because you are indeed,Seeking Jesus! ?

  I don't know why you are having such a dilemma over this music & what your sister is putting on her play list,what does that have to do with you? As Omegaman said,do what you are lead to do.......but first I must ask,do you know Jesus? I see your interest says "The Kingdom of God".....that could lead me to believe you are a Christian but many people say they love God,they pray ,they believe in God & yet,they do not know Jesus & as Jesus says....

She doesnt like headphones for some wierd reason  I dont feel uncomfortable feelings since i was fan of them but since i became a Christian i have i been asking is it wrong to like a Band like Ghost

As a heavy metal fan, there's a bunch of music that can be just offensive. Most bands just use it for shock value and imagery they think is "cool" or edgy, and aren't actually trying to promote things. But that doesn't mean I'm comfortable with it.

There are more and more Christian metal bands these days, though. Theocracy is my personal favorite, though they're prog metal, unlike Ghost.

If you think "Bible" by Ghost is beautiful, look up "Mirror of Souls" by Theocracy on Youtube. Its 22 and a half minutes long and is one of the most wonderful pieces of music every written, in this Christian metal fan's opinion.

But more generally about your issue, wouldn't it be a better witness to your sister if you did not partake of Ghost, instead listening to something a little better, and hopefully she might hear something from a better band that might influence her? Just a thought.

The headset is for you.  Have you been praying abut yourself? If the music doesn't bother you, then it might be because it doesn't bother you that you feel you need to discuss it with others. The issue is that you need to talk with God about this and you need to be away from this music when you do so. the reason for that is the distraction it might produce in your mind while trying to get your prayers answered. Just don't anticipate what that answer should be or where it might come from.

I agree with Omega.. The Holy Spirit will quicken your spirit as to what you should and shouldn't listen to.

Hi dood,

This is not a weird question but a good one.  Music per se is not a sin.

There are two issues here that I see.

One is your sister. We should be careful not to expose weaker persons to harmful material.  As you know just by asking, this IS harmful material.

I see it as being very demonic and unhealthy in nature.  Which brings us to you.  I believe that everything our eyes see become a part of us. And hear, of course.

I'll bet you hum their music a lot. I'm not asking if this music glorifies God...We wouldn't listen to anything!  But don't you feel it glorifies satan?

Some of us are more sensitive to others, as I am in this case. But God knows our heart and the Holy Spirit will have to convince you to stop listening to them - not anybody else.

Personally, I tremble at the thought of them.
