Problem here: You did not answer. It may be what you sincerely believe, but it is not an answer to the questions. It only states your opinion which you are trying to enforce to be as binding as Holy Writ. For your opinion to have any validity beyond your own mind, it must stand up to other logical tests. I asked direct questions that pertain to the nature of music. For us to accept the validity of your opinion, these questions must be answered.
For the sake of this argument we will dispense with the Martin Luther comment since it is possible that I have been misinformed. However, NOW, about the three questions that pertain to music that you have refused to answer and obfuscated the issue by redirecting the discussion. I will repeat them again, since you have NOT answered them.
Question 1: What chord progressions are secular and which ones are Holy?
Question 2: which metronome settings are secular, and which are Holy (in other words, what beat is sacred/ what is not).
Question 3: which instruments are blessed and which are evil (what about that saxophone?)
To provide a direct answer to a direct question it is suggested that you use the following format: "The answer to what chord progressions are sacred is __________". The answer to what beat is Holy is _________________." The answer to which instruments are Holy is ______________."
Fill in the blank spaces with your direct answer to these questions that pertain to the character of music. That will provide us with a direct and definitive answer to this important question.
By the way, I can admit that I could have been misinformed, but calling me a liar as an excuse NOT to answer the other questions is not an acceptable line of reasoning. I will do some more research (though probably not from a KingJimmyIsTheOnlyTrueInspiredWordOfGod website...) Now, answer the remaining questions. If you do not answer them DIRECTLY, by using your method of logic I will have the right to call you clueless and wrong, won't I?
Question 1 answer: A chord is a chord, not a style of music. Question 2 answer: Metronome settings are not music. If you want to get into what beat is holy or not, a beat that gives a rhythm that people dance to in a sexually suggestive manner, I’d say that was not a holy beat. Question 3 answer: An instrument is used to make music, the instrument is not the player of the instrument, who determines what type of music is being played.
Your questions are off the point, and even so, they have been answered. The point has always been about the fact trying to wrap a christian message in secular music makes the music secular. It’s still secular music.
