Hey cat ! good to speak to you again I remember you being a blessing for me in difficult times, well I'm still in it lol but it's okay my faith grows ...

I agree with you young christians are zealous but faith is a muscle, it's only through experience and tribulations that it grows. I'm always stronger than yesteday, always renewed by the Spirit of God, entering into the real joy of the Lord. There's no other way : faith grows with the time. And that's why I guess the Bible says that the white haired are the wise people.

"to the pure, all things are pure" wow I remember that very interesting discussion I had here. It's a verse worthy to be well explained. Purity goes with faith. God must have closed the doors we opened that where not the ones God wanted to open but THE one. I mean, we must consume our self confidence in things that are futile for God's plan for us. Then when we realized we tried so many things in life and that it wasn't the purpose of God ... faith has grown.

God can only use us when we are tired of our own ways !

God didnt make heavy metal??

oh, thats right, the only music God likes is bluegrass gospel, right??

C'mon people!!

-------------------

and by the way yod, yep, i've heard of disciple, and they're great!!

I think it's the fatal way music had to be in this world of hate, when hate begins to appear at the surface.

Extracted from this world - Beside the Father - I don't think we'll worship God with metal. It's still wordly way of worshipping God ... honestly. As long as it doesn't breaks, even subtely, your relationship with God it's ok. As I read someone's post, as long as Jesus is in His House (the Church, His People), it's good.

If now I notice it blocks my relationship I'll immediately throw it away. Till now I think God is forging my character and personnality with this music, it helps me.

What do you think ?

There you have it!

When I was a new believer, the first 5 years after I was saved...I had to disassociate myself with everything that would weaken my walk and be a stumbling block.

After a while, God puts us through trials that strengthen and prepare us so we are able to stand up under the pressure of the world when we're out in it.

While I prefer Handel's 'Messiah' personally, I can easily handle being around black inner city youth and listening the Kirk Franklin or DC Talk, which appeals to many kids both white and black...there are cultural barriers to break through. I still have to learn what Latino Christian groups are out there.

When you've been in foreign missions, you learn to be adaptable...not to compromise the gospel but to flex and bend in those areas which God will allow...in order to be usable.

For those who don't know, Fabrice is from Belgium and is a young college student who's primary language is French..English is his second language and I think he speaks it wonderfully!

I'm learning Spanish but still have a long way to go before being fluent. I alway salute those who master more than one language.......You're doing super Fabrice, brother!

Great to see you again!

Hi Fabrice, nice to meet you. Anyways, God did create music, of course, but not

the type we listen to now. God created music without these modern instruments, and acoustics, and the such. Don't know if God created rock or rap or anything like that. Doubtful, but maybe, just maybe, possible. But that

doesn't really matter.

I'm not really a big fan of music, but sometimes I hear good beats, lyrics, stuff

like that. When I was a few years younger, I actually considered taking up

drums. Not really that enthuised about it now, but I might reconsider in the near future.

God bless you all.

Languages. I am about in mid-fluency in french. I can string up a paragraph or

two together. I can speak some portuguese ( I am half portuguese), Maybe 5

or 6 words in Italian ( my dad is half italian ), and a few words in Croatian ( my

dad is also half croatian.) I ain't very good in those languages. Someday I might become more fluent in portuguese.
