Good day and thanks for the TS for making this one!
This topic is a very important matter to us Christians lalo na sa panahon natin ngayon.
Before I start to share my thoughts about this topic, gusto ko po munang mag-excuse at mag-warn sa iba na makakabasa ng mga thoughts ko about Modern Christian Music now, even CCM (Contemporary Christian Music) which is mas alam na tawag ngayon. I hope hindi maging pangit ang kalalabasan ng thread na ito after I share mine.
Ang music sa panahon natin ngayon grabe na unlike the past years. Marami nang nagbago, marami na rin tayong nakitang mga exposures ng mga satanic musics/songs (maybe some of you did if we all here are Christians), pero ang totoo nyan pati christian music today ay nado-dominate na minsan ni Satan which is hindi ganun kadaling ma-discern. Most things to consider here is the lyrics, sasabihin ng ibang artist na christian songs to dahil yung lyrics may kasamang "God", "You", "Lord", etc. which is becoming a religious thing, diba? Another thing is yung how did the arrangements of music, notes, and expression ng pagkakakanta kung tugma ba sa leading ng Holy Spirit. And even yung physical appearance or let's say yung mga characteristics nalang ng mga artists, Bible says be modest, I'm not talking about yung mga churches na kung magsuot eh sobrang banal as the world normally see, but yung pagiging decent ang pananamit at pagkilos. Marami na tinatanggap ngayon na christian songs dahil lamang sa lyrics and arrangements, pero maging mapagmatyag sa mga kilos ng mga kaaway. And of course, yung how they promote themselves or the songs, via album art, their pictures, music videos which may have hidden satanic symbols, we might not know Satan is using so-called Christian Artists to twist the Christian Music Industry, alam naman natin na si Satan ang Master Deceiver and Father of Lies, nasa Bible yan, and even Satan is using God's Word to deceit us, like Jesus' Temptation on the desert when He's fasting for 40 days and nights. Maging maingat po!
Christian Rock, I heard a lot of it and so far is 30%-40% ay walang problem and the rest do have.
Christian Metal, mga 15%-20% lang ang ok na mga naririnig ko.
Christian Hardcore, oh no, I heard some of it and none so far na ok.
So far yun lang po muna share ko, I hope maging help at hindi ako maging kontrabida sa thread na ito. Exposure for everyone's benefits po ang pakay ko.
God Bless po!
