You both need to read a second time what I'm saying. I never said anything about all music CONTENT being ok. If you read it I said STYLE. Do you know what MUSIC STYLE is? HELLO! Perhaps I should have said GENRE instead but it's the same thing. I'm against people and churches saying that you can't listen to rap, or country, or heavy metal, or anything else if you are to be a Christ follower. THAT is my point. And your posts are exactly my point in people being quick to judge when they don't even comprehend what they are reading or hearing. I didn't say anything about letting people do whatever they want because they are covered by God's forgiveness. Quite putting words into my mouth. The church today does let itself be divided, and some of these things are over someones preference or devotion to traditions. There are issues that divide the church that are valid,t hings that God flat out says are wrong. These divisions hurt the overall ministry of the church, and it's a shame. It's a shame that there are so many people that claim to be Christ followers but pick and choose what in His Word they wish to believe.

It is not ok to accept any kind of music within the church. We must remember that we receive Christ in our hearts we become new creations and we leave our old lives behind us. We can listen to rap and country music that is Christian and edifies us as children of God. What good does it do to listen to music with messages about killing people and degrading women and about suicide. There is absolutely NO edification in that and you must seriously examine yourself and opinions. God's grace is not a license to sin. If we could live our lives however we wanted what is the point of salvation then? I completely agree that we should do all things to honor the Lord.
