Christian Metal

[Atonement]

I did a search and I could not find anything on this topic. Sorry if this has been discussed before

I know some like metal music and some don't so if we can all please leave our personal taste in music at the door. Please just explain if it should be in a believers life or not.

With bands like

Demon Hunter

Vengeance Rising

Believer

Deliverance

Seventh Angel

Barren Cross

Who really pack a punch in Christian metal

Do you think Christian Metal should be apart of a believers life? If you could also please elaborate on why you feel it's okay or why it's not okay? Thank you

:20: I listen to secular metal a lot. Christian metal is toned down. I don't see anything wrong with it.

Thx for the response you two. I listen to hard metal, and I play guitar and love playing metal. I once upon a time listened to bands like Slayer, Destruction, Cannibal Corspe, Sepultura, Obituary etc etc etc. But with bands like Vengeance Rising who hard just as fast and hardcore as some of the best metal bands I've heard and the message is about Salvation, I also do not see a problem with this music because each person has their own taste in music.

Now Chuck was a pastor at a Church in California, but has since denied Christ and turned to Satanism. The band has fought to keep the name Vengeance Rising and is in the studio right now making a new CD..

I am not really a metal fan, but I don't see anything wrong with it just because it is Metal. Each song (as with any other style) needs to be evaluated on its own merit

The only problem that I see with it, is that the 'image' is not that different than the 'worlds'. I do know they reach some kids that other wise would not hear the Gospel.

May I ask a question?

If my Church was having a Rap concert for the youth how many kids do you think would come if they were into metal? And vise versa. If my Church was having a rock concert how many kids would come if they liked rap?

I believe all things were created by God and for God. God can turn anything for His glory

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

I don't believe that mingling worldly elements with Godly worship constitutes Godly worship. A little leaven leavens the lump.

If that is the case why are you on the Internet? "A little leaven leavens the lump"

The Internet has

Porn, Gambling, Black Market etc..

Of course you can't be serious?

Amen, Atonement. It's about time that believers took back all the things the devil has stole!!!!

Yet there's no such thing as "Christian porn" or "Christian gambling" or "The Christian black market," is there?
