Coming to the Lord

I never said that if someone came to the Lord through Cat Stevens that because

he fell away from God that everyone who came to the Lord through him is lost

now too. All I said was THROW AWAY YOUR CAT STEVENS MUSIC You hypocrite

The very fact that he has fallen away makes his music even more repulsive

Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist

is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the

last hour. They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if

they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going

showed that none of them belonged to us. (I John 2:1819)

Cat Stevens is at best an antichrist He "did not really belong to us" Is

this the kind of man you get encouragement from? God doesn't care what he was,

He looks at what he is now. Only a warped heart would flock to his music.

I'll be glad to join you in praying for him, Seth, but listen to his music

while I do, forget it If Keith Green were still alive and went back to the

world, I'd throw away his music and never hand out another of his tracts again

Get separate from the world, Seth Quit justifying your desires for your kind

of music and get a desire for some Holy music that comes from someone who is

faithful ...

My eyes will be on the faithful in the land, that they may dwell with me; he

whose walk is blameless will minister to me. (Psalms 101:6)

I even french braid it for Church.

I often wonder what Samson and the others under the Nazerite vow did

when their hair got in the way. Even Paul took the Nazerite vow and let his

hair grow out. lt;grin

"The Lrd spoke to Moshe saying, Speak to the sons of Israel, and tell them

that they shall make for themselves tzitzit on the corners of their garments

throughout all their generations, and they shall put in the tzitzit on each

corner a cord of blue. And it shall be a tzitzit for you to look at and

remember all the commandments of the Lrd so as to do them and not follow after

your own heart and your own eyes, after which you stray, in order that you may

remember to do all My commandments, and be holy to your Gd." Numbers 15:3740

But I think you understand my point that if Jesus would have

considered it sinful to wear the kind of clothing that

Stryper wears then we should also "walk as Jesus did", thus

considering it sinful ourselves.

Yes, He would not have worn certain forms of clothing He would have

avoided wearing a linen amp; cotton shirt whether it had tzitzit or not. Since He

fully fullfilled all of Torah He would not have worn many forms of clothing.

But, no, to walk as Jesus did would not mean a legalistic

wearing of the same kind of clothing, walking in the same

physical manner (feet turned out, feet turned in, etc.)

Naturally wearing tzitzit would not be done from a legalistic

standpoint. The legalistic keeping of Torah is a curse. It would be like the

difference between a woman who veiled her head out of faith and a woman who

only wore a veil because someone threatened to shave her head. The woman who

was threatened would be doing it because of legalism. It is the same for

tzitzit. "The just shall live by faith." If the tzitzit are worn out of

something other than faith, then there is no benifit, but a curse instead.

You were just kidding, weren't you?

About me actually wearing tzitzit? No, quite a percentage of the males

in Messianic Judaism wear them. lt;grin

then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what

power they have. For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power.

What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a whip, or in love and with a

gentle spirit?

While Paul rejoiced that the gospel was being preached, if he were freed from

his "chains" what would 1 Corinthains 4:18 tell us Paul would do?

And what does Titus tell us to do?

Titus 1:1014 For there are many rebellious people, mere talkers and deceivers,

especially those of the circumcision group. They must be silenced, because they

are ruining whole households by teaching things they ought not to teachand

that for the sake of dishonest gain. Even one of their own prophets has said,

"Cretans are always liars, evil brutes, lazy gluttons." This testimony is true.

Therefore, rebuke them sharply, so that they will be sound in the faith and

will pay no attention to Jewish myths or to the commands of those who reject

the truth.

Not too "loving" ...huh?

What if Dion has not backslided? What if he is doing what Amy Grant does?

What if he is trying to appeal to a nonChristian audience just to get their

attention so that when he has it, when he has grabbed them with his music, he

can then talk the Gospel to them?

But his fruits have already demonstrated that he has backsliden. When he was

full of the Spirit he had no desire to return to the "vomit" he once song. We

can never preach the gospel to people are indulging in their impurity. Think

about what kind of old music he is "grabbing" them with. Remember, Jesus was

always Jesus. He never "hinted" at the Truth. If we could but realize that

those songs are devoted to demons then we could see that Jesus would not sing

one to get their attention. Besides, what would he tell them? How could he tell

them to "come out and be separate" while he got their attention with the very

thing he must tell them to leave.

This really shows to problems. [1] That somehow by being a little worldly we

attract the world. [2] The difference between ENTERTAINMENT PREACHING and

NARROW ROAD PREACHING.

What these artist are appealing to to get their people in is the sinful nature.

After all, if you don't appeal to their sinful motives they are not going to

show up. And God's Word says that to such preachers "blackest darkness" is

reserved.

II Peter 2:1722 These men are springs without water and mists driven by a

storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty, boastful

words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human nature, they

entice people who are just escaping from those who live in error. They promise

them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of depravityfor a man is a

slave to whatever has mastered him. If they have escaped the corruption of the

world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it

and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It

would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness,

than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that

was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its

vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."

Notice well that in Peter here it also mentions they return to their old ways,

(ie old songs?). While Jesus ate and drank with drunkards he never got drunk.

In the same way while I would play a song on MTV I would not dress, act or sing

like them. Look at the fruit of what their wide road, flesh pleasing gospels

are doing. If you point out how they dress you are accussed of being a

homosexual full of lust Wickedness is now called holy and holiness is now

called wicked. The lives must match the words

I Timothy 1:37 As I urged you when I went into Macedonia, stay there in

Ephesus so that you may command certain men not to teach false doctrines any

longer nor to devote themselves to myths and endless genealogies. These promote

controversies rather than God's workwhich is by faith. The goal of this

command is love, which comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a

sincere faith. Some have wandered away from these and turned to meaningless

talk. They want to be teachers of the law, but they do not know what they are

talking about or what they so confidently affirm.

The messages are not considered "flames" on our part. Rather, scripture calls

us to sharpen and perfect each other. It is just those who don't want to change

that they become flames. Be assured we speak in gentleness and with mercy

always before us

Psalms 141:5 Let a righteous man strike meit is a kindness; let him rebuke

meit is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it. Yet my prayer is ever

against the deeds of evildoers;

Colossians 1:2829 We proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all

wisdom, so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor,

struggling with all his energy, which so powerfully works in me.

Proverbs 27:17 As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Mark 9:50 "Salt is good, but if it loses its saltiness, how can you make it

salty again? Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with each other."

Much peace,

MTV could not have even labeled the charge against Keith Green or Michael Card

about being voilent and graphic.

Romans 3:78 Someone might argue, "If my falsehood enhances God's

truthfulness and so increases his glory, why am I still condemned as a sinner?"

Why not sayas we are being slanderously reported as saying and as some claim

that we say"Let us do evil that good may result"? Their condemnation is

deserved.

It seems the music industry beleives this. Let sin increase that the gospel

might go out

Does your message also apply to people like Amy Grant, who has taken her

success to the 'other side' of music?

Let me share some wisdom with you about Amy Grant.

[1] Notice that the High Priest prophesied that Jesus would die. Yet, he was

the one who would work it out.

John 11:5053 You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for

the people than that the whole nation perish." He did not say this on his own,

but as high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the Jewish

nation, and not only for that nation but also for the scattered children of

God, to bring them together and make them one. So from that day on they plotted

to take his life.

So we see that very often there is a prophecy mixed in these people's lives.

Such is the comment online here about preaching from false motives. Such is a

prophetic comment about their lives.

[2] Now consider Amy Grant's trade mark garment. A leopard skin designed

jacket.

Jeremiah 13:2327 Can the Ethiopian change his skin or the leopard its spots?

Neither can you do good who are accustomed to doing evil. "I will scatter you

like chaff driven by the desert wind. This is your lot, the portion I have

decreed for you," declares the LORD, "because you have forgotten me and trusted

in false gods. I will pull up your skirts over your face that your shame may be

seen your adulteries and lustful neighings, your shameless prostitution I

have seen your detestable acts on the hills and in the fields. Woe to you, O

Jerusalem How long will you be unclean?"

In comparission her music is not as bad. She simply has a heart for the world.

Her live, interviews and actions show forth this fruit. (Yes, we have tried to

talk to Amy Grant and her Pastor about this.)

She is really worse than STRYPER because she looks so good on the outside.

Matthew 23:2728 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you

hypocrites You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside

but on the inside are full of dead men's bones and everything unclean. In the

same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside

you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness.

To the naive she looks "beautiful".

Much grace, (really)

All I can add to this Kevin, is that Dion has a new lp out called "YO FRANKIE"

which has a message out there...at least the new title cut does...it isn't a

message about God but it is a message that is pertinent in today's world.

I might just check this out from the secular radio station point of view and

see what they have to say.

This conversation, or what it is bringing out, is more and more the question of

well...many questions and topics, I think.

i.e. Michael W. Smith might be singing about the same themes as Dion but to a

Christian audience, whereas Dion isn't. So as a 'singer', how should we 'judge'

(not a judgment really, perhaps more of an opinion...) what opinion should we

have of him? We could say that Dion will reach more people with his pertinent

message about suicide or drugs than Mike Smith will because Mike Smith is

singing to a smaller audience.

I am not trying to come to any conclusions with the ideas that I am bringing

forth...what I am hoping is that it will make us think of other ideas and

opinions.

Take another example Phil Driscoll, he is known mainly in Christian music

circles, a few years back, he signed with an association to do a 'theme' song

about Saying No to Drugs and Yes to Jesus....

I was very surprised to learn that he recorded this 'theme' song twice. Once

for secular radio stations to get to the broader number of people...he sang in

that version, to say no to drugs and yes to (I think it was life) I KNOW that

Jesus was NOT mentioned in that song. The other version for the Christian radio

stations included the line "say no to drugs and yes to Jesus".

And my first reaction to that whole thing was "Are you ashamed of the Gospel of

the Lord Phil?" and my second was that I know that he isn't because I have

heard him being interviewed, etc. BUT although I (personally) would have liked

the idea that the words of the song not be changed, unfortunately, just knowing

how things are set up...I 'see' (I don't care for it, but I 'see') why his

record company felt the need to do it.

Now, I don't mean to confuse this issue with the Dion one...just thought I'd

throw that in.

Hopefully, this information (along with my review of a secular lp which is

NOT the norm format for the magazine but just as with the Sam Philips lp

review...I believe that it is pertinent to be in an issue) will clear up anymisconceptions about Dion and hopefully the truth will be known.

Kevin (and All),

We have all noticed the recent and disruptive presence of the "pastor" or the

Sound Doctrine "church" (from Denver, CO), his wife and son, and his bulldog

"copastor." I will soon be uploading a series of messages on the socalled

"Sound" Doctrine and its proponents and this should shed some light on their

motivation and how they operate, as well as why many in the Denver area

consider them a paraChristian cult. Call me at PH and we'll go over this.

Take care.

That sounds(no pun intended) very good. I have listened to Tim only twice and

found that both times he spoke only hypocrises and truth as seen only by Tim.

If he would only use his zeal for the Lord they could have a strong ministry. I

do not believe in half truth for it can only be truth or error. I see them

fulfiling 2 Tim 4:4, 3:19.

We must stand in prayer for them and for the ones that are led astray.

If they have to shave their heads when they have short hair, how would

they go about getting long hair? lt;grin I think the passage was refering to

whether the women wear a veil down over their heads or not.

I wonder if a wig covering their bald head would suffice as a veil?

No, because it says that "if a woman does not veil her head, let her

also have her hair cut off". And we know from the rabbinic writtings of the

time that the Jewish women did practice veiling very much like the women in

Islam do today. The practice has changed through the centuries. It used to

include a facial veil, now it only the hair covering is practiced. Some of

this carried down through the Catholic Church as well. You used to see

Catholic women who would wear a fishnet veil over their faces, although the

nuns typically only covered their hair. Today the Catholics don't practice

this as much, and the Protestants practice it even less. (In general of

course. There are some sects which still practice it.)

Subj: THE SOUND DOCTRINE

The Sound Doctrine "Church" is a small group, consisting of perhaps 30 or so

members. The "church" meets in the basement of the Aurora home of Tim

Williams, the "Pastor." The "Church" also runs a bulletin board in the Denver

Metro area. The number is 3037806209 and the Sound Doctrine BBS is

"PCPursuitable."

"Pastor" Williams has no ecclesiatical credentials, nor does he claim any. The

BBS has an article entitled "Who Are We?" which says, "He [Williams] is in his

thirties and has NOTHING TO QUALIFY HIM AS A PASTOR, [sic] {Acts 4:13}

[emphasis added]." The article further states, "Mr. Anonymous ["coPastor" and

CoSYSOP of the BBS] is a servant and a real help to the Sound Doctrine Church.

HE TOO IS NOT QUALIFIED FOR SUCH A TASK {2 Corinthians 4:1} [emphasis added.]."

On the surface, the Sound Doctrine appears to be simply a very conservative

group of fundamentalists. They believe in most if not all of the doctrines of

orthodox Christian fundamentalism. The believe in all of those things that

most of us would find perfectly acceptable: The divinity of Christ, the Virgin

Birth, the Doctrine of the Trinity and so on. Where they must be taken to

task, however, is not in their adherence to Christian orthodoxy, but in their

addition of several Christian "qualifications," their claim to perfection, and

their utter disdain and intolerance for any opinions or beliefseven within

Christianity or among other Christiansthat differ even slightly from their

own. In this series of messages, it is my intent to present examples of this

behavior as thoroughly as possible.

Subj: THE SOUND DOCTRINE, MSG 2

Readers of this echo have probably noticed that the Sound Doctrine claims for

itself near divine discernment. "CoPastor" Sinak is quite fond of quoting "A

fool delights in airing his own opinions..." from the Proverbs. It should be

clear to anyone whom has read the messages from the "Sound Doctrinites" that

they consider their messages as good as if they came from the Bible itself,

while the messages of those whom disagee with them are just opinions. The

Doctrinites make this claim because they believe that they are the only ones

whom truly surrender completely to Christ and whom are truly "carrying their

crosses" in the way that Christ commanded. The Doctrinites engage in

"prooftexting," that is, they determine a doctrine or form an opinion on a

given subject, and then search for Scriptures that they believe can be used to

give their opinions Biblical weight. Readers of this and other echos have

already seen a few episodes of this; but for the uninitiated, let's consider

some examples.

"Pastor" Williams has no credentials to be a Pastor. He justifies this by

using Acts 4:13, which says, "When they saw the courage of Peter and John AND

REALIZED THAT THEY WERE UNSCHOOLED ORDINARY MEN [emphasis added], they were

astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus (NIV)."

The reason that Williams chose this passage rather than the far more obvious

pastoral qualifications that Paul delivered [1 Tim. 3:17] is because of the

passage "they were unschooled and ordinary men." Since Williams has no formal

Biblical education, he needed a passage that would allow him to fill the role

of "Pastor," and this is apparently the best one that he could find. When a

person points out that the rest of the verse establishes that "they took note

THAT THESE MEN HAD BEEN WITH JESUS [emphasis added]," and that the original

Greek word used in this passageas well as established Biblical

historyindicates that this passage was referring to the fact that Peter and

John were in the PHYSICAL presence of Jesus, Williams accuses the sender of

"being prideful" in appealing to a knowledge of history or the Greek to

disprove a Godgiven "truth."

Williams has established a grooming standard for Christians that is quite

conservative. Failure to adhere to this arbitrary standard means that the

Christian is not "truly carrying his/her cross" or has not "fully submitted to

the will of God." Williams uses 1 Cor. 11:14, 15 to support his premise. When

asked where he begins the measurement or where he begins to call hair "long" or

"short," Williams retorts that "God has revealed it" to him when he goes into

his "prayer closet." Again we are shown that if we were only truly godly, we

would see as Williams does. When told that men in the time of Christ wore

their hair longer than he would find acceptable today, Williams asks the

nonsense question, "Have you ever seen pictures?" Of course, we have not; but

Williams hasn't seen them, either. The grooming issue, though minor [and the

invidious distinctions of which are prohibited in the book of James] is an

example of Williams and the Doctrinites putting extrabiblical qualifications

on our Christianity (It should be noted that my own hair length is quite

conservative. I could, even as I type this, pass a military inspection.).

Carla Williams use of Amy's "Madonna" quote is a clear misrepresentation. I

was actually saying that she wished to be a positive ALTERNATIVE to Madonna.

She in no way meant that she wanted to be anything LIKE Madonna, as Mrs.

Williams is implying. This information is probably already known to you; but I

felt it necessary to point out for those Christian on this echo whom may not

However, I am curious on what you are expecting to hear from Dion and his

that, he will never record a Christian song again? I am not bringing this up

Hey Woody, what does it matter whether "she's especially in the limelight"?

Limelight, slimelight, or GOD'S PURE LIGHT, that's the question all Christians

must ask of their professed Christian brothers and sisters within the body of

Jesus Christ and JUDGE by the Holy Spirit. Remember?

I have written you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people

not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and

swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But

now I am writing you that you must not associate with anyone who calls himself

a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or a slanderer, a

drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even eat. What business is it of

mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to JUDGE THOSE INSIDE? God

will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from among you." If any of you

has a dispute with another, dare he take it before the ungodly for judgment

instead of before the saints? (I Corinthians 5:96:1)

.and let's not forget...

For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy personsuch a man is

an idolaterhas any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no

one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God's wrath comes

on those who are disobedient. Therefore DO NOT BE PARTNERS WITH THEM. For you

were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. LIVE AS CHILDREN OF

LIGHT (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and

truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the

fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather EXPOSE THEM. (Ephesians 5:511)

Woody, "regard no one from a worldly point of view." (2Cor 5:16) Ask in prayer

whether Amy Grant has the fruit of goodness, righteousness and truth,

surrendering your opinions to the LORD and seeking the light of HIS TRUTH.

By HIS grace, Terri

Subj: SOUND DOCTRINE AND ROCK MUSIC

Now that we have some idea of the history and the ideas surrounding the Sound

Doctrine, let's get to the meat of the matter and talk about something that is

topical to this echo: The Sound Doctrine and Rock Music, specifically,

"Christian" Rock.

Almost certainly all regular readers and contributors to this echo are aware

that Williams, Sinak and company are hardly thrilled with Christian Rock, or

Contemporary Christian Music, as I prefer to call it (since much of what they

object to can hardly be called "rock music."). Any intelligent person can tell

you that the problem is actually one of personal taste. The Doctrinites simply

don't like CCM. Now the Doctrinites are not notorious for "sound" (if you'll

excuse the pun) exegesis or hermaneutics; but they are clever enough to realize

that they are not going to convince anyone that they are right (and remember,

the Sound Doctrine must always be right) by saying, "You shouldn't listen to

that stuff; we don't like it" They must come up with a Biblical reason for

it. One of their answers is that "it's the world's music," and we are to be

separate from the world. Let's explore this aspect a little.

There are no Biblical injunctions against music. The choir at the Sound

Doctrine "Church" does perform music (even if they must face the wall while

doing it). The Bible, however, makes no distinctions between "the world's

music" and "the Lord's music." This distinction is actually a modern one and

varies from Christian to Christian. The fact is that there is no form of

Christian music that does not have a secular counterpart and there is no longer

any secular music that does not have a Christian counterpart. Handel wrote

"Christian" AND SECULAR works and their styles are similar. Bach, Beethoven,

Mozart, and many of the classical composers wrote music both for the church and

for their secular audiences. There are country singers who sing many gospel

songs and gospel does sound different many times; but a number of gospel songs

are indistinguishable in style from many contemporary country songsif all you

could hear was the music, you wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a

song written to be country and a song written to be "countryChristian."

Music is a gift from the Lord. It gives us pleasure, reduces our stress, and

allows us to sing praises to Him. However, like any gift from the Lord, it can

be and has been perverted by men. Lennon/McCartney wrote a number of beautiful

songs with lyrics that the Christian may find objectionable (e.g., _Imagine_).

Glen Campbell, a personal favorite of mine who became a Christian just a couple

of years ago, recorded _Gentle on My Mind_ as his first "hit." This song had a

catchy tune; but it was a song about a "love 'em and leave 'em kind of guy."

In more modern times, Dan Fogelberg (another personal favorite) sings about an

encounter with an old lover in the very lilting "Auld Lange Syne," and Whitney

Houston, a professing Christian, sings about an affair with a married man in

"Saving All My Love for You." These are all things that a Christian could and

should reject. The true Christian merit of a song rests almost entirely in the

lyrics, not in the musical style. The Mormons sing a song in praise of Joseph

Smith that sounds very much like "How Great Thou Art." The style may be that

of the classical Christian hymn; but the lyrics are not even remotely

acceptable in a Christian church.

Subj: REPLY TO MSG 2749 (SOUND DOCTRINE AND ROCK MUSIC)

In the previous message, I hope that I have been able to delinate the real

distinction between what may be considered a "Christian" song and what may not

be; and why there is no real distinction between "the world's music" and

whatever the Sound Doctrine considers "the Lord's Music."

"Christian" rock and "Christian" metal music do not get a lot of playing time

on my turntable, since I am not an aficianado of this kind of music; but I do

recognize its uses. While these kinds of music are not edifying to me,

personally, I find that this is because of my own personal musical tastes and

not because of any real substantial Biblical reasoningso I don't try to

create one. The evidence is that if you are going to witness to the unsaved

today and you are going to do it with music, you must do it with the music of

today. You are not going to get a teenager to sit through a Dave Boyer or

George Beverly Shea concert. Chances are, he/she won't even find Evie very

tolerable (is Evie going to Hell because she wears her hair very short?).

However, you can probably get a teenager to go see Stryper, Petra, the Rez

Band, and any number of other groups or individuals, including Amy Grant. My

wife became a Christian at a Dallas Holm concert.

Is whether or not the music is personally edifying a reason to reject or accept

certain styles of music as antiBiblical? Certainly not. Since his salvation,

Glen Campbell has released two very nice Christian albums that retain his

style. I find these albums very pleasant AND edifying. My wife will not

listen to Glen; but she does continue to enjoy and be edified by Dallas Holm

and Amy Grant (whom I enjoy, as well) and Petra (whom I do not care for,

personally). I know a number of nonChristians who listen to and enjoy

Christian music from the classical era to today and the message in the music,

edifying to many of us, has not mattered one bit in their personal

philosophies. My father loved the old gospel and spiritual songs; but, as far

as I know, died an unBeliever (he was a Jew). The bottom line to this point is

that it's not the music that makes the differenceit's the heart of the

listener.

The Sound Doctrine will reject all of this on the same grounds that they reject

any questioning of their beliefs. The fact is that Tim Williams and his group

have decided that any music that they personally do not like is evil, have gone

into their "prayer closets," and have had their belief confirmed (Any

firstyear psychology student can tell you why this is expected behaviorwhich

is probably one of the reasons that the Sound Doctrine rejects psychology, as

well). This is the sort of special revelation that Williams and company claim

to receive directly from God and is what allows him to fill in details that the

Lordin His wisdom and for His purposechose not to provide (hair length and

clothing styles are others) in the Bible. The fact that they consider

themselves as some sort of heavenly messengers is evident in ther posts on this

echo. Sinak repeatedly says things like "God hates this or that and this is

why..." and then generally references a Bible text that is actually irrelevant

to the subject matter. Sinak also repeatedly answers the messages of others

with Proverbs 18:2, which says "A fool finds no pleasure in understanding, but

delights in airing his own opinions." Since Sinak believes that his messages

are NOT opinions, but heavenly revelation, he is not covered by this passage.

We must always be suspicious of any group that claims such modernday

revelation and further claims to have all the answers.

The best evidence that I have been able to gather suggests that the Sound

Doctrine is part of a littleknown trend in Christianity known as "The

Sheparding Movement." In this movement, small sects or paraChristian cults

act in much the same way that we see the Sound Doctrine operating here. They

hold that they are the holders of absolute truth and that anyone deviating even

slightly with their beliefs are, as a minimum, not "carry their crosses," nor

have they "completely surrendered to Christ." They operate in much the same

way that nonChristian cults operatethe leader generally has unquestioned

authority and considers it his duty to "protect" Christians from whatever he

perceives as evil influence (which is why Williams is so insistent that his

word be accepted as "doctrine" on the issues discussed on this board). There

is some evidence of some sort of "communal" living (that they attempt to

justify by appealing to the history of the early churcha justification that

falls flat if investigated.). In addition to this, leaders of such sects often

claim special revelation, the evidence of which we have already seen on this

echo.

I realize that there is a Cult echo which covers this sort of thing. However,

not all BBSs that carry this echo carry "Cult Watch," and, since the Sound

Doctrine has been present here, I felt it prudent to provide the information so

that the readers of this echo might gain a better understanding of how these

people operate and how they "think." Since I read this echo frequently I felt

moved to provide the information. I thank Diane and all for your patience.

Any questions may be directed to me through this echo or, if you have access,

through "Cult Watch."

Hi. Gonna be gone for a few weeks so we'll have to continue this when I return

but... yes I do see in the Scriptures where we are authorized to pass judgement

on those within the Body. I believe the reason the Lord has allowed us that

opportunity, however, is to protect His kids who can be directly affected by

bad teachings, etc. Jesus came to heal the sick... for THEY are the ones that

need the doctor, right? As I previously stated, I have not paid much attention

to Amy Grant but suppose for one second that her main "ministry" is to those

nonbelieving kids who have no spiritual interest. If the Lord has led her down

a path that would allow the majority of her efforts to be expended OUTSIDE the

Church (AND) if she does not compromise her walk with Him then for me to

conclude that God would never do that could infer I have the same attitude as

those who persecuted His prophets and Son. Quite frankly, God's kids have

already heard His Gospel and responded to it. SOMEBODY has to reach those

outside God's Kingdom. Wycliff missionaries GO to where the people are. Street

ministries GO to where the need is. So why is it too hard to suppose that God

would send His kids outside of Zondervan to draw the lost unto Himself. In

conclusion, because Amy Grant's "teachings" or "music" do not personnally

affect YOUR walk with your Creator, you should be careful when passing

judgement on her. I'm not saying not to do it but, please, just be careful.

Anyway, see you when I can dial in again In His Service Woody

I appreciate that you found the information fruitful. I was torn between

whether or not to add the information, so I prayed long and hard. The

impression that I got was to go ahead and do so.

It is my belief that we can understand others a little better if we try to

understand their motivation and their underlying belief systems. Yes, it's

touchy. No one likes to see their belief systems attacked (as the Sound

Doctrine almost certainly believes they have been) but "attack" was not my

intent. I feel that if the SD believes that they have the right to attack and

belittle others because their opinions are different, then we have the right to

know why they feel this way.

Thanks for the response. So tell me, do you know if Dallas Holm is coming to

Denver anytime soon? My wife would like to go see him again.

Hi Diane, I am sorry to see that our discussion has turned into a debate as to

whether Sound Doctrine is an heresy or not. There is another board where such

a discussion would be more appropriate called the "Heresy Watch". If you have

any questions as to what we believe or teach feel free to ask. Plus you can

call the Sound Doctrine BBS anytime. We have had some really good discussions

on here and some pertinent questions have arised. I would hate to see them

end.

The interview with Amy that I mentioned could not have been the same one that

Dave says that he "saw". It was in another state and was on radio. The

arguement that Amy wants to be an alternative to Madonna proves my point. Just

as I do not beleive that Stryper is an alternative to Ozzie Osborne; we need

no alternatives to the things of this world. Jesus said that he is the WAY not

the alternative. We are commanded to come out and be separate not to

compromise.

Again I hope our discussions can continue and any debates concerning Sound

Doctrine can go on a board set up for such discussions.

if she does not compromise with Him

Woody, you made this statement in regards with Amy's music and I agree totally.

The question is has Amy compromised. I believe she has. Have you seen her

secular video that she did with Peter Cetera?? It was very compromising for a

"Christain."

Some on this board assume that we do not like Amy's or Stryper's music or

contemporay Christain music at all. Those people have never looked at our

library of music tapes. I enjoy CCM very much as long as the muscian lives up

to the words that he/she sings. If their public appearances reflect a heart

that truly loves the Lord then their private ones hopefully will too. I enjoy

Amy's music and I care a lot about her, enough to be concerned about the

compromise.

Time and time again on this board we have shared scripture that points out that

such compromise with the world grieves the Lord. I have yet to see a scripture

that points out where such compromise is acceptable to Him. Instead we receive

personal attacks and accusations. Twisting of rumors that have not been

investigated to see if they are true or not. We did, in love go to Amy

personally. I am not saying that you have attacked us, Woody, but there have

been others who have. "Judgement" does indeed begin with the "House of God".

And we are our brothers keepers, who should love enough to speak the Truth.

All Praise to Him,

Subj: REPLY TO MSG 3245 (Re: AMY GRANT)

I am aware of the investigative techniques used to evaluate your position and I

am convinced that they were valid, as were the points raised. Your Scriptures

are hardly proof of your position for precisely the reasons that were

mentioned. God decided to leave certain piddly details out that you folks

choose to put in. Isn't there something accursed about "adding to the Bible."

I know there is. . I think you missed the point entirely. You people fail to

qualify anything you say as your "opinion." It's always fact, as far as you're

concerned and everyone else is wrongsince everyone else is simply voicing

opinion.

For example: you say that people who think you hate CCM haven't seen your

tape library. You say that if their heart is truly in what they are doing then

you find them acceptable. Really? Who, then, do you find "acceptable" to YOUR

standard? Evie? Paul Clark? Don Francisco? Rez Band? Who makes this

judgement? You do, right? Aren't you then only voicing your OPINION, really?

You are certainly entitled to an opinion, Carla; but Dave is absolutely correct

(my experience being that I have read virtually every public message that has

been on your BBS as far back as last September) in that you people never admit

that your opinions are simply thatopinions. It's always "God's word" when it

comes from you. That makes you guys a little suspect in my book.

Subj: MESSAGES

I've noticed that your messages are a little late getting to the net. I was

wondering if you were withholding messages (in violation of net policy) but I

guess you were not. Still, I am wondering where Tim's message on Amy Grant is.

I wish to respond simply...

TW: "Amy Grant IS NOT [emphasis added] a Christian."

Get this out of your "prayer closet," Tim? Since Dave will not talk to you

people, I will respond...

"For what man knows the things of a man except the SPIRIT OF THE MAN WITHIN HIM

[emphasis added]? Even so, NO ONE KNOW THE THINGS OF GOD EXCEPT THE SPIRIT OF

GOD [emphasis added]."

That is from 1 Corinthians, chapter 2, verse 11. This verse seems to

disqualify you from judging either the spirit of Amy Grant AND the Spirit of

God. Since this verse provides some evidence that man cannot know the things

of God (such things are limited to "the Spirit of God") that seems to

disqualify your "prayer closet" revelations, too, doesn't it? Of course, you

will claim that you have the "Spirit of God" to rebut this; but that should

surprise no one hereincluding those who also claim to have that "spirit" and

who see things differently.

I don't see how using a skill to make a living is necessarily "compromise."

Aren't people entitled to make a living? If Amy Grant wants to record secular

songs, what's wrong with that? Debby Boone started that way and has since made

three or four religious albums that I listen to and enjoy very much. There are

lots of Christians out there who work in the secular world to make a living.

Just because you don't have to doesn't mean that that should reflect on them.

The "compromise" that you see is with YOUR standard. Whether that is also the

"Lord's standard" or whatever remains to be seen.

Kevin,

Your message was not addressed to me, but I wanted to respond about "of the

world". What Jesus calls us to do is come out and be separate. STRYPER does

not come out and be separate. JOHN 15:18 says," If the world hates you, keep in

mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world , it would love you

as it's own. As it is you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out

of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to

you:" No servant is greater than his master." If they persecuted me, they will

persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They

will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who

sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin.

Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin."

As Christians we will be persecuted. WE need to be separate now so we will

then. Separate from the world, that is.

Love ,

Ruthanne

Subj: PRAISING WHO?

Hi everyone, I know we just went through a hotly debated topic on hard rock

bands like Strypper, but after viewing a Strypper video (seeing first hand

where they're coming from and going to) of their concerts, back stage and off

stage comments, etc., I couldn't help but notice, the audience response to the

band. Just who was the crowd raising their hands to? To who were they adoring

and giving praises? Who is there star? I bring this up since the band itself

as well as their fans claim they are a Christian band sending out the gospel

message through hard rock music and song. GOD's WORD has some relevant things

on how Christians should praise and worship GOD.

Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. I will praise

you as long as I live, and in your name I will lift up my hands. My soul will

be satisfied as with the richest of foods; with singing lips my mouth will

praise you. (Psalms 63:35)

and...

I spread out my hands to you; my soul thirsts for you like a parched land.

Selah (Psalms 143:6)

When Ezra had an attentive audience, standing above the crowd, just as Strypper

has these days, he didn't attemp to share in GOD's glory:

Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing

above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. Ezra praised the

LORD, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded,

"Amen Amen" Then they bowed down and worshiped the LORD with their faces to

the ground. (Nehemiah 8:56)

GOD is a jealous GOD. He wants us to thirst after and love only HIM with a

pure and obedient heart. If we do not...

I will put an end to your noisy songs, and the music of your harps will be

heard no more. (Ezekiel 26:13) and then notice: I will make you a bare rock,

and you will become a place to spread fishnets. You will never be rebuilt, for

I the LORD have spoken, declares the Sovereign LORD. (Ezekiel 26:14) Whoa

Could GOD make a promise to make any rock (surely that includes hard rock

also) a "bare rock" if they do not solely worship HIM and do HIS will.

Elsewhere, GOD says: "I hate, I despise your religious feasts; I cannot stand

your assemblies. Even though you bring me burnt offerings and grain offerings,

I will not accept them. Though you bring choice fellowship offerings, I will

have no regard for them. Away with the noise of your songs I will not listen

to the music of your harps. But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness

like a neverfailing stream (Amos 5:2124)

Who is GOD talking to? Professed Christians praising it up with all manner of

sacrificial offersings, song and festivity in the NAME OF THE LORD But GOD

wants none of it because HE says: You have lifted up the shrine of your king,

the pedestal of your idols, the star of your god which you made for

yourselves. (Amos 5:26) Who are the kings, the idols, the stars which we have

lifted up as a holy shrine?

Oh, so by separating ourselves it means we can't listen (or play, as the case

being a christian would really be a drag if we couldn't do the same things that

nonchristians do, i.e. driving a car, reading books (hmmmm, interesting huh?),

songs like Dust in the Wind, Carry on Wayward Son, Hold On and The End of the

Age. Some definate Spiritual influences in those boys lives, mostly due to

Livgren.

I was going to laugh, but I do remember the "You shall know them by thier

fruits" passage in the Bible. Stryper tends to come off as secular as you can

get sometimes, and it does make me wonder sometimes as to thier purpose in

God's plan. Now if they dropped the "Look" that most metal bands have,

they would have a great leap in the right direction. Most of thier music is

pretty good, but untill I see them change thier image, they are in the same

boat with the rest of the secular world. Mind you I do listen to WhiteCross,

and Petra, but if you see them in concert or on a poster, you will know the

difference right away.

First of all the difference between Mike Warnke and Eddie Murphy is like day

and night. Now with Stryper and Twisted Sister or Lita Ford the difference

starts to look kinda gray. Sure the message is different, but LOOK at the on

stage performance and posters for all the above. You will see what I mean.

There is NOTHING wrong with the format used to get God's message across, (I was

planning to put my Les Paul to some such work, on my 4 track) but you have to

live the lifestyle too. On stage as well as off stage.

Nope, you have to be familiar with the word. Let the Holy Spirit show you the

interpretation of God's word.

Long hair is not an offence to God UNLESS you do it in rebellion. Now before

you freak out, think and really pray on that. I have long hair (well, it's cut

over my ears, and the back was left to grow long. I had to make sure though

that I was NOT rebelling agenst anyone or using my hair as some sort of

statement. In my case it was letting my hair get shaggy, and really horrible

looking because it offended my dad. I have it looking neat now, because I

wanted it that way, and I still keep it long. One more thing, if I could get

more folks turned on to Jesus by shaving my head, I woulden't hesitate for a

second. Just be ready to give it up if God asks you to. Remember that it is

YOUR life that is a witness to you life in Christ, and if required I will do an

ything to keep appearences up. Have a good day in the Lord...

Jack....did you not read the rest of my message?

You say you don't listen to those groups. And that they are just mere

sensationalists(sp). I listened to them. I Knew the words. I Knew the

message behind the thoughts. Most of the time the message was bold amp; very

intentional(sp).

It is plainly stated that Satan is Lord in their songs. Kiss had a song called

God of Thunder which sang about Satan being the ruler of rock amp; roll and that

through rock amp; roll the Devil would slowly rob you of your soul.

I guess that they could sing faborably about Satan amp; satanism and not be a part

of it .... GIVE ME A BREAK.

Why do you defend these groups with whom you have not the experiences with them

that I and others former satanists have had. The words are real. A lot of

young people (me included) Thought the same way that you promote....it's just

words....they only do it 'cause of the money...people take their words the

wrong way. And then slowly the Devil started reelin' me in.

If this isn't enough...I can give you some other quotes from some more satanic

songs, if you'd like.

does not appeal to my personal tastes. I just read their posts tonight, and I

If you will be there or know anyone else who will and want to write up a review

for the magazine, by all means please do so.

I have heard from a reader of the magazine, who does not have access to this

base, that she just appeared in NJ. He was at the concert and will write up a

review about it.

I am anxious to know all your opinions of Amy's concerts.

Recently, someone told me (as an insider) that although Amy's hope is to appeal

to a broader audience (the way Dion does) in reality most in attendance of her

shows are Christians and they are outraged at the price of her tickets.

Subj: MESSAGE FROM ECHO MODERATOR PLEASE READ

TO ALL USERS: IMPORTANT PLEASE READ

It is my desire to keep 'R'OL an echo that is pleasing to the Lord, amp; that

gives Him glory as we discuss topics that reflect Him. I have personally

intended that this echo be a place where Christians who listen to Christian

music can discuss it openly without fearing that someone who doesn't like it is

going to jump down their throats. I've never intended it to be a place for

flaming discussions there are echoes just for that. Up until a few weeks ago,

I thought that flaming conversations only occurred among believers and

nonbelievers. Of all echoes on computer, this is NOT the one for judgements or

repetitive arguements; if any disagreements are to be had here, I used to think

it would concern whether Amy sings better than Sandi In my mind, 'R'OL is a

forum from which to learn, and understand each other better through the music amp;

the people whose ministries strive to bring people to the Lord.

I've always considered 'R'OL echo to be like the little church or meeting place

down the block. People see it. People walk by it. All are invited. Some come.

Some don't. But for those who do, the welcome mat on the door expresses to all

that in this place 'God is glorified'.

My thoughts as the moderator of this echo is that aside from being a Between

Issueslt; place that serves in keeping Christian music fans informed on the

latest news from the world of Christian music it is also a 'Letters to the

Editor Plus', because unlike a printed magazine, here not only can you start

conversations with the Magazine Editor, you can also do so with other readers.

You know, to exchange ideas, hear opinions other than your own, etc.

If you are NOT a Christian and you have been posting messages to get your

nonChristian feelings across, I am asking you to PLEASE find another echo/base

to do so in. 'R'OL is NOT the place. If you are a Christian, please consider

the person who will be receiving your message as you write it. This is not the

place for 'judging' each other by the music you listen to. This is an echo for

people who like/listen to Christian music to discuss various aspects of it. We

as Christians need to be standing together as one. Celebrating our

similiarities and accepting our differences.

If you have a problem with this and want to know why you must comply or find

another echo to express your views in Consider this: because I am the

moderator of this echo and I say so that's why and if that isn't enough for

you, than lets get down to what it is really all about, shall we? Read: 1Cor

12: 1226, Lk 6:4142, and 1Cor 13: 113).

It is my hope that this echo will continue to flourish with conversation that

is pleasing and helpful to all who read it. I would hope that all who are

currently participating, will continue to do so. I also want to thank all of

you who try to maintain peace here. Thank you from my heart.

In His Service,

Diane Gambino

who read T'R'OL out of curiosity. The 2 names that come up from people who

consider themslves athiests the most often...let me rephrase that...with in

those messages, the artists whose names always come up are Steve Taylor and

Michael Card. Frankly, I don't know what to think esp about their interest in

Mike Card since he is usually very scriptural in what he has to say; however I

can see where they might think for a minute that Steve Taylor just might be on

their side, and whether they understand what he's really about or not, they

want to know more about him.

Would appreciate some scriptural support for this position.

I'd be happy to, Tim, but I don't play those games. And it does get to be a

game: "my biblical reference is better than yours."

It basically comes down to the fact that some people have a fundamentalist view

of Scripture. I don't. So either we argue our brains out, or we agree to

disagree.

Agreeing to disagree doesn't necessarily mean that the other person is

completely wrong, or that the other person is unChristian, or that the other

Mike,

better watch your woe to this and woe to that or sometime someplace someone may

walk up to you and say " Woe, to you because you don't dress like I do."

In all honesty, do you really know what clothes Jesus would wear today. Would

it be a pinstripe 3 piece suit or maybe a sportjacket. I really don't know, I

must admit, STYRPER is not modest in their dress (My standard). However, I

don't think they are going to hell for their perceived immodesty. What about

the prophet (the name escapes me) who ran around the countryside without a

stich of clothing. Surely, everyone knew for sure if he was circumcised. I'm

sure the religious leaders went around searching Scripture to see if this guy

was for real. The point is, God led him to do that. Maybe I'm all wrong, (I

will admit I'm often wrong and I do accept the reasoning of others, as long as

I see it as reasonable.) but is it possible STRYPER has a call from God to be

the way they are? ( I may be stretching it a little here. This may be a

stretch, because if a group says they are called by God to be His

representative in an arena don't you think that the representative would try to

be more clear in their representation?)

Tim,

I must have missed your message. How long is too long?

I'll try to be civil in this matter? In my OPINION, stryper is not in sin as

outwardly signified by their hair. Tim, you have continually used a certain

Scripture, I believe, out of context. The Scripture in question is 1 Cor.

11:14. It states, "

Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man have long hair, it is a

shame unto him?" First of all, the Scripture is about the custom of head

coverings for women. That Scripture is to help illustrate Paul's concern.

Notice, that Paul looks to nature, and not Scripture to show that he thinks

long hair on man is unnatural. Why? Because Paul knows that Scripture does

not say that long hair is a sin in all instances. As a matter of fact, part of

the Nazaritte vow was long hair ( at least for a season). Jesus himself was a

Nazaritte. Their is a good possibility that he had at one time in his

life....LONG HAIR. Anyway, back to the passage in verse 16 of the same chapterPaul says, "But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, n

either the churches of God." The major point of this whole verse, is that Paul

calls it a CUSTOM, it is not a mandate from God, i.e. Scripture. The Churches

had that CUSTOM, Paul wished that it would stay that way, However, He did not

invoke a Scriptural command to short hair. If short hair were an indication of

someone's obedience to God, why would the Nazarittes be told to commit such a

sin? You know (I'm sure) that the debate the 1st century Christians had

concerning circumcision was basically a debate of legalism and true piety.

True piety does not cloth itself and in conformity to the legal statutes of

man, but rather to the truth of Christ. Tim, once you said that the point of

your comments about hair was that you wanted to show that STYPER could not obey

God in the most BASIC of Christs commands. I'm sorry, but hair length is not a

basic tenet or command of Christ. It is neither fundamental to salvation or

necessary for continued Christian growth. Tim, while you're cutting your hair

to the Christian length ( remember the old song, "They'll know we are

Christians by our hair.?") be creative and think of this verse. "Brothers, if I

am still preaching circumcision, whyam I still being persecuted? in that case

the offense of the cross has been abolished. As for those agitators, I wish

they would to the whole way and emasculate themselves" Gal. 5:11,12 ( I did

read vs.13. Tim, I'm concerned about your attitude. read vs 15 of Gal. 5 "If

you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed

by each other." I hope we don't destroy each other Tim. I don't think that

the hair business is as significant as you do. On the other hand, there is a

place for modesty.

Since, this whole thing came up to find out what we all thought of heavy metal

Christian music. Here's my two cents worth: TOO LOUD But may God bless those

who like it and are saved through it.

Bless you Tim,

In my opinion, there's nothing wrong with it.

I feel that whoever opens up for them in concert is a band, just as is the

christian band. What that group is based on should not make much difference,

unless of course the band has satanic type influences..

But for just an average regular group to open for a christian group, I feel it

is fine, and will broaden the audience, and maybe draw more people to become

more involved or at least informed in religion.

A small comment on this: I cannot see how people 'catoragize' people

duing Jesus' own time and their hair, (length etc). I'd like to know

Amy's concerts are handled by a 'secular' management company. By that I mean

that even if you wanted to set up an interview wih her, you can't just call the

record company as you would with most other Christian music performers she is

kinds sorta a 'secular' Christian artist. Bascially, when you get down to it

all it really does is make life more difficult for journalists to get thru to

these people, etc.

In fact, just the other day I was talking to the head of publicity at Sparrow

Records. We were talking about the fact that just about 2 years ago, I got a

letter from Michael Card telling me that he had read a copy of T'R'OL and that

he liked it very much and agreed to be interviewed by me. He told me to set it

up with 'his ministry people' who handle that for him. I tried 4 different

times I even sent them a copy of the letter he had sent me they kept saying

that he was too busy.

I think I understand more about why there are so many people 'in charge' of one

Christian artist now that I have spoken to Trace amp; Joel Balin. It seems that

unless you are 'Amy Grant' in quotes, once you record the lp for the record

company, they stop publicity there. The rest is up to you so I guess artists

want as much exposure as possible to compete with everyone else that they hire

so many people and then there are many indians and few chiefs.

Ever since Amy started getting real popular she is handled by a fellow who has

offices in NY and Los Angeles which is not how most contemporary gospel artists

operate.

"official" name of the song. The opening line of the chorus is, "Praise the

Lord, He never changes ..." I'd love to find the sheet music, as the harmonies

are beautiful and modern. It would make a great choir piece Anyone recognize

have a large following. Frankly, I don'T know HOW they got selected for airing

on MTV but it resulted in the song 666 being reshot (the video) that is into a

better visual interpretation the group themselves thought so and I (having

Well like I said, so far you have not even touched on the lyrical content

of his new album. You are saying that because he is now a "secular"

musician, he is no longer of God no matter what he sings about.

I will not comment any more on the DION issue mainly because I do not have

the facts and you have already made up your mind.

I hope since you are so caught up in not being "of this world" that you do

not hold a secular job, drive a secular car, watch secular television, read

secular newspapers, wear secular clothing, etc.......

Tim,

As you know this is a SIG for people who enjoy and listen to some type

of Christian music. Yet, so far I have only seen you tear down a few

Christian groups. SO, please enlighten us with a more positive message,

like maybe WHAT GROUPS DO YOU LIKE AND LISTEN TO AND WHY?????

another a capella type lp or whether all of Rez's music should be considered

heavy metal. That's along the lines of the involvement I was talking about.

Shelby hello Welcome to this base. Since it sure looks as though you haven't

read what it is all about, let me be the first to tell you that it is about and

for people who enjoy CHristian music...it is about people who are being lead to

God by music ministries and Christian singers....

from the sound of your message, I don't think that this is the place where you

should be leaving your comments.

I have to think of the rest of the people here, those I consider a Christian

fellowship of believers who are in favor of the music.

I have spent enough messages explaining what this base is all about. Please be

the type of person I am sure you are and don't leave messages that you and I

know the people on this echo will not appreciate.

Thank you.

I just wanted to let you know that I have appreciated this echo. I really

enjoy Christian music and the diversity they bring to the Christian community.

I know that this echo has been used for some pretty silly discussions. ( I

have at times jumped in on these) I just want to apologize for using this echo

to air my frustrations at those who do not enjoy or even consider Christian

some of the artists who may be discussed on this echo. Again, I really have

enjoyed some of the discussions on this echo. Mark Kilcoyne

Mark THANK YOU and everyone else who keeps on supporting this echo. Yes, I know

what you mean about jumping in. There were times when I have wanted to do the

same. Some people might misinterpret why I don't usually do that...this is not

a catchall for everyone, but I contemplate on the 'quiet strength' of Jesus

alot of the time. There were so many times that He knew he was right and yet He

didn'T say anything...and most times I try to be like that some people might

consider that to be a sign of weakness or defeat however, I consider it a

sign of strengh. Just because you feel you're right, if saying it can start WW3

it is strengh that makes you walk away. Strengh and prays. If anyone thinks

that I don't pray about this echo...let me set them straight now...I do

Now, let me explain my sentiments insofar as, I don't want you to feel badly

because you jumped right in...in fact, I am so glad you did.

There's a song that I love. It is sung by Trace Balin and called "We Are An

Army". Boy That one and even her other song, "We Need Each Other" fit into

this echo recently. I want to thank you ALL for standing up for what you

believe in....what this echo stands for, and what I try to bring forth thru it.

My hope is that we can ALL continue to be on it...only some of us might makenote that our beliefs/feelings no matter how much we believe that we are right

and this is the way for all to go...it doesn'T give us the right to keep

writing about it, even after the majority want us to stop

Again...thanks for showing your support Please keep posting messages

I don't....sorry Doug. If only you had some more info... want to hear

something funny? I was in the same predicament a few years back (I even sang

the verse in a Christian bookstore. The woman thought I was bonkers) the

opening line of my song was "I am not my own, I belong to you" so I thought the

name of it was "I am not my own" and I also thought it was sung by a male. It

turned out to be called (and I learned this accidentally thru T'R'OL) "I Belong

to You" by KATHY Tricoli. Kathy has a deep voice.

Do you know anymore of the song? Perhaps someone else might know it? How about

Pat (Mulcahy) he sings ina choir.

Alpine is at 8:7703/5 in the NETwork. But if you aren't running a

able to do is address it to him at 8:7703/5 and then ROUTE the netmail to that

No I do not assume that the whole audience listening to Stryper is Christian.

On the contrary, my assumption most are not, but for the few who say they are

followers of Christ, yes they will adore and praise GOD and GOD alone and

appear to be set apart from the world. This the FIRST requirement that Jesus

laid down for those who commmit to HIM.

Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and turning to them he said: "If anyone

comes to me and does not HATE his father and mother, his wife and children, his

brothers and sistersyes, even his own lifeHE CANNOT BE MY DISCIPLE. And

anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple. (Luke

14:2527)

Did you notice the "large crowds" were traveling with Jesus, but then Jesus

himself clearly stated how GOD considers us lovers of GOD, by hating our very

own family, and yes even our very own lives. Because he knew we must die to

our concepts of love, and selfesteem and surrender totally to GOD.

we don't have to limit our love only towards him.

So how do we get around these words: The LORD your God will circumcise your

hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with ALL

YOUR HEART and with ALL YOUR SOUL, and live. (Deuteronomy 30:6) and... Love

the LORD your God with ALL YOUR HEART and with ALL YOUR SOUL and with ALL YOUR

STRENGTH. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.

Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when

you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as

symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the

doorframes of your houses and on your gates. (Deuteronomy 6:59)

Notice please that GOD wants A L L of our hearts, not a fraction their of. And

that our relationship with GOD becomes more of OBEDIENCE to HIS loving

commands. HIS promise is that we will live. Do not merely listen to the word,

and so deceive yourselves. DO WHAT IT SAYS. (James 1:22)

Jesus replied, "If anyone loves me, he will obey my teaching. My Father will

love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him. He who DOES NOT

LOVE ME WILL NOT OBEY MY TEACHING . These words you hear are not my own; they

belong to the Father who sent me. (John 14:2324)

Jesus is worthy of all our love, don't you agree? Terri

Just wanted to point out, Yeshua/Jesus, was a Nazorite [sp], but not of

Nazoretic vow, two different things. However...In Torah, all Jews could take a

Nazoretic vow, in fact Paul did in Acts. Then there were Nazoretic vow people

from birth, as in Sampson. It involved if I remember correctly, shaving the

head, growing your hair for one year, then shaving your head again at the end

of the year/vow. Of course this would be differant than being dedicated

permantly to a nazoretic vow.

Yeshua was a Nazoreen [sp]. from Nazoreth [sp].

Tune contest, but instead of music use the first couple or words from the

chorus or first line of a song, and let other try to guess the title or

performer. Or use a Wheel of Fortune format, with blanks and some filled

letters of a song title to guess, or even groups or performers names. A more

involved game could include a Jeopardy format where categories need to picked

and then the answers are given, and we would need to guess the question.

A better question is whether Jesus, Himself, wore the type of clothing that

"the world" wore at that time. Since it seems unlikely that He wore nothing or

that he wore anything unusual (no evidence) then perhaps there are some whom

would declare Jesus "worldly." An interesting idea, eh?

Hodge Podge? As in Breathed's "Hodge Podge?" ;)

Ryan, you might expect a message that will inform you that your aggravation is

actually the result of "conviction," another misdefinition, since we know that

if we are convicted by the Holy Spirit the result is generally repentance, not

anger or aggravation (at least, not in my experience).

I must confess that I have never heard of a couple of the groups that you

mentions. As I said, I don't pay a lot of attention to Christian "metal"

simply because it does not appeal to my tastes. Even the Sound Doctrine, as

well as others on this echo, DO make a valid point in asking if the lifestyles

of certain groups or individuals can be indicative of their true spiritual

state at the moment. I'm sure you will agree with this, as well. Though my

point was that the music in and of itself is not necessarily evil just because

certain groups say it is, if Stryper does indeed (and I have no evidence so I

am speaking hypothetically) conduct their lifestyles in a manner inconsistent

with Scripture (i.e., illicit sex, drugs, alcoholism) then they are, as a

minimum, hypocritical, wouldn't you say?

On the other hand, I have a problem with people who declare soandso "not a

Christian" just because their music may appeal to some unBelievers whom never

come to Christ as a result of listening to their recordings. Shucks, even Billy

Graham and Jerry Falwell do not get EVERY sinner in the building to answer an

altar call.

Thanks for the response. Keep up the good Word (chuckle).

I bet they've toasted you on that one

Without meaning to be derisive, Steve, I think that this is hardly a fair

comment. Are we in competition to see how many souls we can (with the help of

the Spirit) lead to Christ? I don't think so; and I'm sure that this is not

what you meant, right?

When the antiChrist comes I am sure that they will know who he is and will

continue to sing for the one, true saving Lord, Jesus Christ.

As I have said before, Stryper has Heavy MEtal imagery to have an

identification point with heavy metallers. It is IMAGERY. They have a challenge

that says put up the goods that they drink, sleep around, do drugs or SHUT UP

(I hope that doesn't sound too rude.) Steve Green is not going to save a

thrasher by singing his mellow music (I do like Steve Green, by the way).

Stryper is called to a dark area of music to be a light of Christ, where others

can't reach. And Stryper isn't the only group out there too. There is Ruscha,

Jerusalem, Bloodgood, BArren Cross, White Cross, Neon Cross, Vengeance and

more. All are there to do the work of Christ, plain and simple.

The name is Bash 'N The Code. Their modern op. It's hard to describe them in

comparison to a secular band, because I don't listen much to secular music.

Not too far from Madonna's style. Their last album was aptly titled BIG MOUTH.

I've used their material for roller skating nights, and some softer titles on

the show.

They are on Myrrh label.

lt;Excuse my butting in

MIDI sequencing is used lt;usualy with a computer to develop tracks prior to

recording. Like I can develop my drum track on ch 10, put other MIDI units

(keyboards, drum machines, MIDI guitar) on the other remaining MIDI channels.

That way I can develop a compleate score like you would with a multi track tape

machine, and I can edit each channel (or track if you want to call them)

without having to play the track over. Saves lots of bucks because I can do the

whole score, hear it, tweak it, and finally run over to the studio to get it on

tape. I am in the studio for about 10 hours instead of a week.

Tim, I think this has veered a way from the header but at least it will enable

folks to follow the message thread .....

I've read a few messages from you which are highly critical of others, for

their music, the way they dress, etc. You even reckon you know their hearts.

But I say to you know that it is God who knows their hearts, He is the one who

will judge, not you or me.

I regard myself as a fundamentalist in the true sense of the word, not the

parody of it that is paraded around in some quarters these days. But I cannot

identify with what you are saying and I think that goes for just about every

other user of this echo. Why don't you do us (and you) a favour by taking your

views off to another echo? I'm sure there must be one somewhere that suits.

Sorry to sound so abrasive but just once in a while, I get fed up with the

bilge that I see posted in echomail by folks who quite clearly don't identify

with the echo or its purpose.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord,

John.

Does your message also apply to people like Amy Grant, who has taken

her success to the 'other side' of music? And people like Deniece

Williams who started out in secular music and when she became famous

demanded that she be able to record gospel/adult contemporary

Christian music as well? (I am asking you the above questions not to light

fire here but to start a forum of discussion. I think that it is time

these pertinent musical questions and ideas are discussed.)

Thanks for your input.

Sorry that so many are offended at the Word of God.

You may want to listen to the words in some of to Michael Cards songs,

"A rock that makes men stumble...."

JOH 6:60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, "This is a hard

teaching. Who can accept it?" JOH 6:61 Aware that his disciples were

grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, "Does this offend you? JOH 6:62

What if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before JOH 6:63 The

Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you

Subj: REPLY TO MSG 7965 (RE:STRYPER)

I don't think that a Michael Card or Keith Green video

would ever make it to where MTV might decide to carry

it. However, Damp;K are Christian hard rockers who have a

large following. Frankly, I don'T know HOW they got

selected for airing on MTV but it resulted in the song

666 being reshot (the video) that is into a better

visual interpretation the group themselves thought so

and I (having seen both) agree. Makes me realize that

the Lord how much the Lord isn't limited and how He

can work good from any situation.

Diane,

The reason Damp;K got accepted is because they are like the world. The reason

Keith Green and Michael Card wouldn't get accepted is because they are too

pure. It's that simple.

Ephesians 5:59 For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy

personsuch a man is an idolaterhas any inheritance in the kingdom of

Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of

such things God's wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do

not be partners with them. For you were once darkness, but now you are

light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light

consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth)

Makes me realize that the Lord how much the Lord isn't

limited and how He can work good from any situation.

Diane,

Where did this notion ever come from that impurity, worldliness, and

being rebellious to God's Word will bring people to Jesus?

Matthew 23:15 "Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you

hypocrites You travel over land and sea to win a single convert, and when he

becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as you are.

II Peter 2:1722 These men are springs without water and mists driven by

a storm. Blackest darkness is reserved for them. For they mouth empty,

boastful words and, by appealing to the lustful desires of sinful human

nature, they entice people who are just escaping from those who live in

error. They promise them freedom, while they themselves are slaves of

depravityfor a man is a slave to whatever has mastered him. If they

have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and

Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are

worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have

been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to

have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was

passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: "A dog returns to its

vomit," and, "A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud."

More

limited and how He can work good from any situation.

You may be right to a small degree. No doubt there are some few who will

come to know Jesus as a pure and holy God. But the men themselves will go to

hell. For just as Balaam was used by God, (and it broght sin in the camp), so

too God work good. But apart of His good will be to send these men to "BLACKEST

DARKNESS". While pure singers will shine like stars in Jesus

I Corinthians 9:27 No, I beat my body and make it my slave so that

after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified for the

prize.

(NO NEED TO RESPOND TO THIS. WE ARE NOT ALLOWED TO TALK ABOUT THIS KIND

OF SCRIPTURAL ISSUE ON ROCK ON LINE)

music should be considered heavy metal. That's along

the lines of the involvement I was talking about.

Thanks for your input.

You also "thanked" me for raising the question about Dion. Do you remember?

Now, since others are offended by a discussion of scripture concerning

CHRISTIAN MUSIC you want me to shut up. So be, I will post only positive

You asked for the "FIRE" to start. By the way that is a very biblical thing

to want. You also wrote to me that "IT IS TIME THESE PERTINENT MUSICAL

too hot and you seem to want to please men rather than God. And not only do

that, but BLAME me for causing the trouble

I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a

Please don't be taken in by others attitudes who seem unwilling or

unable to discuss scripture without getting defensive. There are a lot

of people who are merely "YES MEN" in Jesus. They love anyone who tells

them what they want to hear. Otherwise they kick them out.

As scripture says...

Micah 2:11 If a liar and deceiver comes and says, `I will prophesy

for you plenty of wine and beer,' he would be just the prophet for this

people

Micah 3:5 This is what the LORD says: "As for the prophets who

lead my people astray, if one feeds them, they proclaim `peace'; if he does

not, they prepare to wage war against him.

Yes, I did thank, and still do, even though you appear not to hold to what

Subj: HAIR

Mark,

You have need to read the scripture on long hair and coverings again. Paul is

NOT saying that they don't have a custom... he is saying they have "NO OTHER

CUSTOM". That is in "ALL" the churches the men have short hair and the women

wear coverings.

I Corinthians 11:1416 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a

man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair,

it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. If anyone wants

to be contentious about this, we have no other practicenor do the churches of

God.

Paul is saying that it is a "DISGRACE TO HIM" and that Paul has "NO OTHER

PRACTICE". That is, he teaches the same thing everywhere he goesWhy Paul would

preach the same thing at a STRYPER concert because he has "NO OTHER PRACTICE

NOR DO THE CHURCHES OF GOD".

Paul is saying that if you, or anyone, wants to say it is ok for you to have

long hair that all the other churches "OF GOD" anyway don't do that, or teach

it. And when Paul points to nature he is trying to drive home the point that

the way God made man and women is that they each have different hair lengths.

He does this because they are slow to catch on to spiritual matters.

As for the "biting" and destroying each other. Since when is pointing out sin

destroying each other. This board seems to thrive on "YES MAN" Christianity

Talk about cultic. If you disagree ...out you This board does not even seem

to practice what it preaches. I suppose you would have rebuke Paul for opposing

Peter,

Galatians 2:14 When I saw that they were not acting in line with the truth

of the gospel, I said to Peter in front of them all, "You are a Jew, yet you

live like a Gentile and not like a Jew. How is it, then, that you force

Gentiles to follow Jewish customs?

Notice, he rebuke Peter in Front of them all

Tim

ps Mark, we will have to find another board to discuss this issue. We have been

asked by several not to discuss these "nonrelated" issues. Sorry

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and

admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and

spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

Of course the Word of the Lord should be included in "PSALMS", "HYMNS" AND

"SPIRITUAL SONGS". Kinda musically related.

am soooooooo glad this controversy is finally over. I was really getting

upset by the things the Williams' were saying......that's why you haven't heard

from me for a while. I suppose if I appeared in their 'churchI'd be kicked

out,....my hair is a tad on the long side I suppose, but doesn't that have more

to do with the world and it's styles than God? Has peace finally come to this

board?

Chris |lt;.

Has "peace" finally come to this board ....

Jeremiah 6:1416 They dress the wound of my people as though it were not

serious. `Peace, peace,' they say, when there is no peace. Are they ashamed of

their loathsome conduct? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know

how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; they will be brought down

when I punish them," says the LORD. This is what the LORD says: "Stand at the

crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and

walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But you said, `We will not

walk in it.'

Remember, the "Williams'" didn't say anything about hair. It is Paul that said

it.

I Corinthians 11:1416 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a

man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, but that if a woman has long hair,

Would appreciate some scriptural support for this position.

I'd be happy to, Tim, but I don't play those games. And it does get to be a

game: "my biblical reference is better than yours."

It basically comes down to the fact that some people have a fundamentalist

view of Scripture. I don't. So either we argue our brains out, or we agree

to disagree. Agreeing to disagree doesn't necessarily mean that the other

person is completely wrong, or that the other person is unChristian, or that

the other

person doesn't know Scripture or the Lord.

Pat

Pat,

What "games" are you talking about? If individuals who call themselves

Christians can't discuss scripture what is there left of any real importance?

What does that say about their love for the Word of God?

I Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very

words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides,

so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the

glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.

Are we not to "speak the very words of God" to each other? And are we not

instructed to...

Colossians 3:16 Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly as you teach and

admonish one another with all wisdom, and as you sing psalms, hymns and

spiritual songs with gratitude in your hearts to God.

AND ALL THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF TALKING ABOUT MUSIC

And if we "agree" to "disagree" then why can't you discuss scripture without

getting so defensive? I mean, everyone says on this board, only post messages

that AGREE WITH ME and let us agree to disagree, yet refuse to even discuss the

disagreement. Besides is this a scriptural attitude?

I Corinthians 1:10 I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus

Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no

divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.

Much grace,

From no games Tim

sayI don't listen to themand so you would be a betterinformed judge of

such things. All I was saying was that it was not fair to play a "numbers

We are not. See what I was saying now?

"agree to disagree" since you are so convinced that you are right (regardless

whatever it is you guys say around here. Other Christians are no less

TW: "We are not permitted to discuss these things on RockOnLine."

You're still whining, Tim.

By the way, you have been asked before not to identify yourself as "SYSOP" on

the echos, it causes considerable confusion for other Sysops on the nets.

Putting "sound Doctrine Bbs" does not excuse you from following echo

procedures. There are certain standards expected of Sysops that would

participate in the nets. Failure to follow these standards generally can

result in expulsion from the net. Just a friendly bit of advice from a former

Sysop.

Now, as to your message about how we are not to discuss certain

things...I point out that it was YOU who kept badgering the kids on this echo

on a couple of things (including the hair issue) AFTER you receieved the

message from the moderator. Although you have nicely dodged all of the

relevant questions put to you it was YOU who continued to press irrelevancies

at the users of this echo. Just

because you have reverted to putting "Sysop" in message headers from you does

not mean that you have any more authority here than any other user. In fact, I

see hypocricy here. You would tell me that we can not discuss whatever here

and yet it was YOU who violated this policy with your whimpering messages

yesterday. "Set thine own house in order" before you would propose to dictate

to others.

Of course, I have one last thing to add...lt;grin. We are suppose to reflect

the image of Jesus Christ not the image of those of the world. So I do not

believe thta Jesus would be the image of the heavy metal bands. As for as the

antichrrist, if we believe that it is okay to imitate the things of this world

how will we be able to recognise him??? Not to mention the fact that he

disguises himself as an angle of light.

To anyone who cares, Roper is somewhat like the

about the SD itself.

Ken, I have a dated message that indicates that I spoke with

Tim Williams just the other day, no big deal, except that

this clearly shows that your above statement is false.

Exodus 20:16 Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy

neighbour.

What did your message have to do with "Christian" music?

Also, what are the rules and purpose of this echo?

They both adhere to a view of the world and of

Christianity that is not based on rational or

intelligent exegesis; but on the special revelations

that they claim to receive and the neardivine

discernment that they both claim to possess.

The Scriptures indicate that there are a great many fake

"Christians" which only have a form of godliness but

deny the power thereof. The following verse which SD

already quoted indicates that the desciples of Jesus

Christ if they speak are to do so as the oracles of

God. So Ken, what's wrong with that?

1Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the

oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as

of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things

may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise

and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.

Real Christians don't deny the power and gifts which God

has by His abundant grace given them, so, if you see

real Christians being attacked by others who claim to be

Christians because they speak as the oracles of God then

you know which is which, or do you?

You're too kind Ken. Seeing you are not a Christian, I

Matthew 6:22 The light of the body is the eye: if

therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be

full of light.

Matthew 6:23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body

shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that

is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness

Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either

he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he

will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot

serve God and mammon.

What think ye Ken, doth this make sense? Who do you

serve Ken?

Oh You were talking about me. Sorry.

I've been sorry before myself, however; sorrow that does not lead

to change is worthless don't you think? I can appreciate your

sense of humor Ken, and I am always learning new things but

by the grace of God I have come to the knowledge of the TRUTH

which is the Lord Jesus Christ. Knowledge of itself is so cheap

and often worthless that it can be bought with corruptable money

at a local 711 or various universities. Knowledge of itself is

knowledge "under the sun" and without the Spirit of God it passes

away and there is no remembrance of it, however; knowledge of the

TRUTH is the only path to everlasting life, and few there be

that find it.

Now consider that you go around talking about your

form of Christianity, which requires that you bash

at people and hurl your own "clever" quips at them.

Where did I claim perfection? When did I exalt myself above

the throne of God as you have done, notice your comments:

Jesus was but a man; and you cannot rationally prove

otherwise. Even the Christian idea that Jesus actually

claimed to be God lies on thin intellectual ice. I

freed myself; and I'm doing very well now, thank you.

Consider also that you paint yourself as very humble; but you

are intolerant of even other Christians who fail to see that

what you are saying is "the Word of God"

You will probably get along well with Mr. Anonymous because he

also accuses me of false humility, Why not rather than accuse

me of false humility, set the example of true humility so that

I might learn from your gracious examples? That asking too much?

Why not start by giving me your definition of true humility?

Accusations are easy, examples are a different story aren't they.

Maybe you are an angel Ken, but if I have told people to be

submissive as you state, who am I suggesting they be submissive

to? I have stated several times that I cannot save a grasshopper

and I firmly believe this, how much less a man? God can and does

save, and if He chooses to use me, there is nothing you can do

short of killing me and then God would raise another up in my

place, no problem for Him. If there were no more Godly men

and women left on earth the stones would cry the praises of God

and witness of His majesty

I do not go back on what I "preach."

Too bad you cannot make the same claim.

Yes you must be right, that is too bad, however; let's take just a

brief look at the following quotes from you.

KA By the way, don't quote your New Testament at meI consider

KA it invalid.

in the fact of logic. The first quote was to you when you tries to preach to

the message from which you used the second quote was, "if you believe it you

come on, take off, eh? How do you know where their hearts are at? Jeez, do

you know them personally? Talk about judging your fellow man

I Corinthians 5:1113 But now I am writing you that you must not associate with

anyone who calls himself a brother but is sexually immoral or greedy, an

idolater or a slanderer, a drunkard or a swindler. With such a man do not even

eat. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not

to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked man from

among you."

Enough said .... Mike

Strange Sojourner,

"Out of the mouths of babes most often comes cereal."

John Wayne never called anybody "pilgrim" except in "The Man Who Shot Liberty

Valence."

For the most part, The Monkees did not play their own instruments.

What has this all to do with anything? Nothing...it is as irrelevant and

nonsensical as your "exegesis."

true and according to the Word. Well, if we "look like" the world and the

I almost forgot: as far as my talking to Sinak, well, shucks, Ropes, where

have you been? However, I do find it interesting that Sinak accuses you of

"false humility" since he is every bit as bad as youand for the same reasons.

No, Sinak and I would not get along any better than you and I would; but it's

easy to see why you and he do notyou're both too much alike.

As for my humility, well, I don't claim any. I'm not really all that

humblebut my theology does not require me to be as yours does. Your

problems, other than your delusions, are your hypocrisy and your own selective

adherence to your theology. You expect others to be humble, and yet you are

one of the most arrogant people that I know"agree with me or go to hell"and

you follow rules or break them as it suits you (such as crossreferencing

between echos). You ask me what the rules of this echo are and you break them.

You read me the riot act on the "Life's Origin" echo and you break those rules,

too, including those that you would have me follow.

Your claim to "true" Christianity is on thin ice.

GR What are the rules and purpose of this echo?

I think that the purpose of this echo is for users

to discuss Christian Music which they happen to like.

If discussing Christian Music then certainly the subjects

which are discussed in that music will be most welcome, right?

Which from what I have heard has a great deal to do with the

Old and New agreements.

(But apparently not discuss music which they dislike.)

Hmmm... That would appear next to impossible seeing that the

doctrines found in the music of many groups are not always

consistent with the doctrines found in the Word of God, right?

Who are your favorite Christian groups these days? Get

any new albums lately?

I have been listening to "Praise Seven", "Praise Five": (Don't

you know) It's time to praise the Lord, "Scripture in Song" all

by the Maranatha Singers. "Holy, Holy, Holy" by 1986 Silver Bells

Music. Morris Chapman with the Maranatha Singers "Voice of Praise".

"We bring the sacrafice of praise into the House of the Lord"

Also, "Praise Nine", "Psalms Alive 2". These are all vocals, as

for just music with no words, I listen to Tom Howards piano music

and some guitar music by Phil Keaggy.

Subj: REPLY TO MSG 11103 (MUSIC)

I have several of Petra's tapes which have been encouraging

and doctrinally refreshing. So far I have not seen any doctrinal

error, however; should they forsake excellent doctrine I will

forsake their new music. It is possible that a person be in the

will of God and achieve the Lords will then fall away, so I see

nothing wrong with listening to those songs which were written

and sung while in the will of the Lord. I would appreciate any

sincere thoughts on this. I'll try an example:

King Solomon built the House of the Lord and latter in His life

fell away and worshipped other gods (which are no gods). So did

people stop offering sacrafices acceptable to God in the House

which Solomon built?

1Kings 6:14 So Solomon built the house, and finished it.

1Kings 11:10 And had commanded him concerning this

thing, that he should not go after other gods: but he

kept not that which the Lord commanded.

1Corinthians 14:10 There are, it may be, so many kinds

of voices in the world, and none of them is without

signification.

1Corinthians 14:12 Even so ye, forasmuch as ye are

zealous of spiritual gifts, seek that ye may excel to

the edifying of the church.

Thanks Steve for replying. I am not sure if you werr agreeing with me or not.

There was alot of discussion saying that it was okay for Stryper and anyone

else for that matter to imitate the things of this world. My stance is that if

we do not come out and be seperate as the Word so clearly commands us to we

will not be able to recognise the Anitchrist when he comes. Others were

saying that it was okay to dress and act like the world in the name of Jesus.

My point was that Satan is very sly and he disguises himself as an angel of

light. Let's remember that he quoted scripture to JEsus and that not everyone

that says "LORD, LORD" will enter the kingdom of heaven.

In Him, Carla

Hello Out There I am trying to contact Bill Bennett who is the Sysop of The

Son BBS in Wisconsin. He is in the process of moving and I have been phoning

both his voice number and his BBS number and all I get is a steady ringing with

no answer. The old numbers were (414)2816497 voice and (414)7715391 BBS,

does anyone have his new number to be or can you leave a message to him for me

to have him phone me at (604)4780254 voice and he can phone collect and have

him ask for Dave Geauvreau and if I am not here have him leave both of his two

numbers so that I can contact him. I have some disks of info for him but do

not want to send it to his old address, which is the only address that I have

for him. Thank you very much to whoever can help me in this situation.

By the way I run The Christian BBS in Victoria, B.C., Canada, BBS:

(604)4782789 and Voice: (604)4780254, and the board deals mostly with cults

and heresy info. We have now 154.4+ megs of hard disk space so if anyone has

studies on cults, heresies, doctrines, issues etc., revolving on the Christian

Faith please feel free to send them to me on disk as it would be cheaper than

uploading them. My mailing address is;

The Christ The Christian BBS C/O Dave Geauvreau 3053 Metchosin Rd. Victoria,

May the Lord shine His light even more fully apon us, Dave.
