Earlier I posted some links about #JohnMacarthur that people tried to respond to, not knowing the trail of links to comment accurately.
This thread is an attempt to correct that

What is Godly music and how does that apply to modern CCM style music?

The use of drums in music, outside of military marches or perhaps a king’s coronation, has almost always been associated with ungodly music and does not belong in Church music:
Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

why the issue about the Blood and John Macarthur is highly important!
The Blood Of Christ (Romans 5:9)
The importance and value of the blood of Christ must never be minimized: See Romans 3:25; 5:9; 1 Cor. 6:20; Eph. 1:7; Col. 1:14 (KJV); Rev. 1:5; 5:9; 1 Peter 1:18-19. See also Acts 20:28 (the blood of God!). Note: Concerning “the blood of God” in Acts 20:28, God does not have a body and does not have blood. God is invisible, non-material, and non-corporeal, and He does not have blood. But God became a man (John 1:14) and the God-Man did have a body and did have blood and did shed His blood on Calvary’s cross. We’ve been saved by the blood of the Lamb!
Hebrews 9:22 is a key passage. Without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sin! Our redemption from the slave market of sin demanded that a price be paid. That price was the precious blood of Christ.
What is the significance of the shedding of blood? If Christ had been stoned to death (as the Jews desired to do to Him) would this have been considered as “the shedding of blood”? The answer is “yes” as we learn in Acts 22:20. In Christ’s case we know that death by crucifixion was essential because the Scriptures must be fulfilled—John 12:32-34; 18:32; 19:36-37; Psalm 22; etc.
Read Genesis 9:6 were capital punishment was instituted. Notice the expression “by man shall his blood be shed.” Think about execution by hanging as was done in the wild, wild west? Would this violate Genesis 9:6? Would it be a valid form of capital punishment?
See Matthew 23:35 and Romans 3:15 (violent death by murder). In most cases, when a person is murdered, blood is shed (poured out). If you were to enter a room and see a puddle of blood on the floor, you would probably not be too surprised to find a dead body near by. When the Jews killed the sacrificial lambs, blood was shed.
Another key verse is Leviticus 17:11. “For the LIFE of the flesh is in the blood . . . for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.” Blood is essential for life (Compare the constant pleas of the Red Cross for blood donations). When enough blood is shed or poured out, then there is death (apart from medical, procedures that would put blood back in). Thus the “shedding of blood” speaks of death. This is clearly seen in Romans 5:9-10 where the blood of Christ (v.9) is equated with the death of Christ (v.10):
“justified by His blood” (v.9)
“reconciled by His death” (v.10)
These are parallel statements because verse 10 is an explanation of verse 9. The subject of DEATH is also found in the context of Hebrews 9:22 (see verses16,27-28). Also when the high priest took the blood into the holy of holies (Hebrews 9:7), the blood carried this message: “A death has taken place; an innocent substitute has died and thus the penalty has been paid!”
The actual amount of blood that Christ shed on the cross was minimal (from the nail wounds in the hands and feet and perhaps from the crown of thorns). A larger amount of blood poured forth from the spear wound (John 19:33-35) but this was after Jesus had already died.
When the expression “blood of Christ” is used in the epistles it refers to the precious CROSS-WORK of Jesus Christ, especially His SUBSTITUTIONARY DEATH on behalf of sinners. The shedding of His blood involves, among other things, the GIVING OF HIS LIFE (John 10:11).
May we never forget the price that was paid for our redemption (1 Cor: 6:20; 1 Peter 1:18-19)! May the blood of Christ ever be precious to us!
Beware lest we should make the blood of Christ something mystical and magical as the Roman Catholics have done (cf. THE MASS, etc.).
