I don't think there is any style of music God cannot use if He so chooses.
Do you think that music can have a spirit that is contradictory to the message of Christ?
Yes. But we are discussing Christian rock music, not some of the bands at Ozzfest.
What about loud aggressive hard rock or heavy metal? Obviously fleshy sexual rhythms?
I don't think loud is bad. I don't think hard rock is bad. I don't think heavy metal is bad. As for "fleshy sexual rhythms", rhythm is just rhythm - whether it's "fleshy" or "sexual" is subject to your interpretation, but I can see (since this is the second time you've used that kind of phrase on the thread) you are quite concerned about that. Why?
Do you find these to be consistant with the spirit and message of Christianity?
Again, it depends on more than style.
I don't.
Yeah, I got that.
I don't think there is any style of music God cannot use if He so chooses.
Then I have to disagree with you.
God is Holy and would not reduce Himself to using "Highway to Hell" or "Spirit of the Boogie" to promote His Gospel message.
Do you know what Holy means?
I didn't ask you if you thought it was "bad".
I asked if you thought it was consistant with the Christian spirit and the Gospel message.

This paragraph explains why you have no clue as to what is or isn't appropriate music for conveying the Gospel message.
The New Testament has several references to the "flesh".
The Word of God says that those who "sow to the flesh will reap corruption (ruin)"..that the flesh is emnity to the Spirit.
In other words the flesh OPPOSES the Spirit.
It's obvious that the reason you don't understand how these types of music I cite are inconsistant with the Gospel is because you know very little about the Bible.
I've played at several "Jam for the Lamb" events and have a T-shirt from one with "Play skillfully... with a loud noise" on the front. I wear it proudly.
"Do you find these to be consistant with the spirit and message of Christianity?"
Yes. Jesus was a rabble-rouser and muck-raker in many ways... in addition to everything else He was.
I'm with you, sister. Some folks just want to 'do' chuch, and make the buffet by 12:15. Don't let God hold 'em up, don't let the service drag on 'till nearly 1 p.m., as they often do at my church.
