Are All Christian Bands Good
I am quite confused about the band H.I.M. Musically, I enjoy them but can't help but think their music has a darker meaning. I don't know if I'm misunderstanding, if these lyrics are a metaphor. I've seen photos of the singer with pictures of Jesus on his microphone. But could this be a mockery?

Most Christian music is self-centered and selfish. The lyrics talk about the people singing using "I," "me," "my," etc. The lyrics gloriy the person singing than glorify God. They also fall in with the macabre (try watching TBN late at night on Fridays and Saturdays) including the visual affects. Christians have fallen away from the faith because of today's Christian music. |

I don't know them, but from what you said in your question, I don't want to know them. If it looks like the world and sounds like the world, it can't glorify God. |

I don't know the group, I`m in the UK. Things to ask about any music: is it trly glorifying to God and is it different to the music the world listens to. We are called to be separate, to be salt in the tastless world. If the music we listen to is no different to th music the world listens to, how on earth will they know the differece between what we believe and what they practice. |

to 'rock' means to fornicate. isnt that nice? Christian "rock" way to go. way to be separate. i know rock n'roll. It's about sex and rebellion. dont be fooled. the long hair and tats=rebellion. God said rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft. and you folks are promoting this saying it's o.k.? no wonder God is spilling out his judgements against the U.S.-done left God for another gospel. robert johnson, the first blues star, was admittedly possessed. this is where he found his abilities. |

God told Isreal not to marry out of his people. But Moses did and his Sister seeing this error attacked him and questioned if it was of God, and a curse came on her, Micael Davids wife questioned his worship and attacked him saying it was perverted and a curse came on her. Dathan attacked moses and questioned if he was of God and was swallowed alive into hell, |

I want to make it clear that I am not judging anyone, but I am judging the music itself. To justify rock by saying listen to the lyrics is wrong.... some of that stuff you can't even understand the lyrics to even know what they are singing (if you can call it that). I ask again do you want to rock?, or do you want to worship Jesus? |

Helen & r.w. ... Just note this... In Puritan England a few centuries ago, all music of any type was denounced as evil. So music in praise of God was prohibited. |

There is much Christian contemporary and rock music that glorifies God in my opinion. To judge others on the basis of style of music seems unchristian to me. Yes, we are to be seperate, but christian rock IS seperate from worldly rock. I've seen many young people come to the Lord through this. If the lyrics preach the word, the truth, what is wrong with it? We all prefer various styles of music. |

Helen, Helen, Rock comes mostly from the blues, blues comes from black gospel music, thats the true roots of Rock. Most of My 300 CD's are of old black men, many were well steeped into the gospel tradition. The dividing line is very obtuse. Of the devil' is a very abused cliche.' One should be careful of making blanket statements. |

There is no such thing as Christian rock. Rock is rock and it is of the devil. It is gross error to take rock and say that it is Christian -- it is not. If you are truly born-again and filled with the Spirit of God, I truly do not know how you could even stand to hear that stuff. Everything including Christian music should point to the Cross of Christ, if not it is pointing you away from the Cross and into gross error. Do you want to rock? Or do you want to worship Jesus? |

check david wilkersons sermons online. a lot
of so-called 'cstian' music is from below, not
above. G_d Himself will teach you as His Word
says; wilkerson is simply a witness of Truth. |

Have you read their testimonies? Study and see if it lines up with the Word of God. Test all spirits to see if they are good or evil. |

I have seen one Christian contemporary band that I liked, not so much the music, but the style. Joel Ingle and his band... impressed me with their plain jeans and t-shirts, normal haircuts, no jewelry, nothing to draw any extra attention to themselves. |

And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? There is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments. (Matthew 19:17)
Not really the answer you are looking for but I thought I would kick it in anyway. |

I don't know of this band, but when I get the chance I will check them out. The main thing is to listen to their words, are they glorifying to God and Truthful? Also if you ever see their video or see a clip of them in concert, see if they are enjoying the glory of the applause or are they sending the applause to God. I listen to a lot of Toby Mac, POD, and Kutless. As far as I can tell they are legite. |
