Christian Music: Heavenly Or Satanic? By Robert Thatcher
A good deal of debate among many religions today is the categorizing of music as being Christian or evil. Religion too has been a subject of many debates, heated arguments that sometimes are carried to the extreme that has led people to wars. How sad.
When something that is very noble is turned into persecution in the name of righteousness, even that which has been waged in the name of a higher purpose losses its meaning and bear the stains of evil.
Music too.
If taken on a broad context, from which it is really presented, any music that elevates the spirit to a deeper and higher expression of ones love for his God is as Christian as any Christian music. It does not matter if it is Catholic, Protestant, Jewish or Muslim.
Bigotry and prejudice have been as ancient as pain and this have plagued Christianity then and now. Many supposedly respected church leaders (and you will find them everywhere) finds if very easy to label a certain type of music as evil or Christian music depending on their own set of perspective. The contradicting term is that you will find a good piece of music being sung in another church that another denomination will find hard to tolerate.
