Nope, not projecting, not assuming anything.

Music can be tested as to whether it is godly or not, just like anything else, using discernment. Some music is godly, and some isn’t. ‘Christian rock’ is just rock with a christian veneer wrapped around it. It’s still rock music. Which by its nature is not godly music.


Again, you're simply defining things in a way that justifies your previous conclusion and then believing that you have somehow proved something. And you're engaging in a circular argument: "It's not godly music because it's rock music and rock music is ungodly." We could probably make a strong argument that anyone who argues in a circular fashion is congenitally incapable of discernment. "Discernment" as you have used it is a weasel word that means "whatever seems right to me and allows me to claim that whatever seems right to you is in error." You're still simply asserting without having provided any sort of evidence besides an appeal to mysticism: "I have the ability to know that what I claim is true." It's still just an assertion that has no more authority or validity than "Crispy bacon is the only proper bacon because wiggly bacon is not proper bacon. And I have the ability to know this is true."

Crispy bacon is the only proper bacon because ...

Is that like "King Jimmy 1611 is the only inspired Word of God because..."?
