Ok, well some ppl think that music like 50 cent and that kinda stuff is bad. WEll i know it is but what if you dont listen to the words or follow what they say. I was wondering if you guys thot it was bad to just hear it and know it. And like still be spiritual. Like its not your life cause you listen to hymns but it does come in when you got noting you to listen to. I was wondering what you guys thout.

The way I think of it is whatever you do, see, hear, etc. is going to have an effect on you sooner or later. In this case it would be having a NEGATIVE effect on you. So why listen to stuff that doesn't honor God? Didn't Paul say to honor God in everything you do? And how is this honoring God?! :-\
It also says in his letters to the Corinthians: "All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful. All things are lawful, but i will not be brought under the power of any."(1 Cor. 6:12)
And how is this benifiting you in any way, to know and love God?
So i think just stay away from all nonsense and music like that, because it will end up having a negative effect on you in the long run..
God Bless! :)

Soon enuf ull be descencitized to the secular ideas represented in the song because u keep hearing it again and again, and u will slowly accept the song and the idea brought with them.
for example, when u first watch a violent movie ure like "WOWOWOW." But the more and more u watch, u will slowly be ok with it and accept the idea. That dsnt mean ure gonna go around and shoot ppl but u will lose a sense of innocence. And once u lose the innocence u can never have it baq.
I know its like impossible to be listening to Hymns ALL THE TIME, so what i do is sometimes listen to nice songs without the explicit lyrics. Musicians like Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles, Aretha Franklin and of course Abdel Halim Hafez ;). thes musicians dont sing about violence, sex, etc. So try that wen u want to listen to something else.
and if ure reely into rap, there is some gospel rap u noe, so rap in general isnt bad, it's the lyrics and the ideas that many rappers use (like 50 cent) that make it unholy.
i hope i helped somewhat, peace

I have heard it said, though I have yet to see any scientific laboratorial research or statistics to back this up, that a loud 4/4 beat, listened to constantly, can cause mental derangement (presumably from some sort of "resonance" between this and your brain's "cycles").......this is, according to the "theory", what causes tribal peoples in their rituals to have trances (where, presumably they come into contact with demons). Not that I necessarily believe in all that....just throwing it out there as food for thought.
What really gets me is how, growing up as a Christian, other Christians would tell me how bad it is to listen to secular music, when they themselves were watching R-rated movies.......so I give that a big "Physician, heal thyself!"

and as coptic girl said dont listen to the bad parts, well to know there is bad parts there u will have to listen to it and understand and no its bad for u to avoid next time when its already in ur head so dont throw ur self in front of bulets and just stay away from it.
i watched a dvd lyk last yr or so its called hells bells i reccomend every1 watches it it gives u a whole thing and how music is bad not just wit rok and roll well thats wat it mainly is about but still all music i remember i always used to listen to music i dont even turn on the radio or listen to 1 song anymore after that movie it really helped me so i reccomend it to every1
even though the song may seem nice and soft whatever no bad words there was an example of 1 on that dvd they rewinded it and it had all this stuff to do with worshopping satan
another was a band didnt want to show every1 that they were worshoping satan so they made the words and sung it backwards thats often y u dunt understand wat they say even if u listen hard its lyk they are speaking gibberish or sumthing
so just avoid all the rubbish thats out there these days, society is getting worse by the day.
get the movie or download or sumthing ull find it on the net most probably and watch it and i doubt ull listen to all that garbage .
btw every1 good replies above :)

But if u like R&B and hip hop and stufff like that...then why dont u listen to Tupac (whos lyrics is a bit more beneficial then zeft 50 :P) , Mary Mary , Rachel Lampa, Stacy Oricco. They all sing christian songs, and they're amazing! ;)
Just remember that your body is the temple of the holy spirit. Don't corrupt it by unconsciouly letting in sin. The devil is sly. He wants to portray a bad message into appealing music, but as the good Christian, you have to be intelligent enough to decipher it, and stay away. May God be with you.
and zeft 50 amen to that as well lol
"instead of hearing a bunch of "AAAA AAAA- OOOOO-OOOO"! "
hahahahah so true so true lol ;D
thats absolutely correct keep.smiling good stuff amen keep it up :D

nothing
also like fully rely on god said, you will not take it as ahhhs and ooooh and eeees but as ten oousht or somthin. it is also fun to sit there learning hymns. (some hymns). Some hymns you can be the one person to know it. You can also represent in church hymn competition. I dont know if any of you have those but we do down in florida. So forget 50 and remember god
god bless
