You missed my point.
I'm not talking about the words of the songs. I'm talking about the style of music.
And I'm giving you specific examples. If any style of music is acceptable to you as Christian music..why couldn't the songs I mentioned be used to promote a Gospel message?
The fact is these songs are inappropriate because the style is reflective if the inspiration behind it. Which is not Holy or deserving of the Gospel message.
Oh, I see. So your argument is, essentially, that when someone pens a song and they decide to put a heavy beat to it, such as "Praise Christ who saved me from my sins", they are really, deep down, doing it with demonic intentions. Sorry, but I find your argument to be severely lacking.
I realize that - but when you use, as an example, "Highway to Hell" instead of a similar song with ?Christian lyrics, it tells me your argument isn't sincere.

Give me an example of the kind of thing we're discussing - not "Highway to Hell", Jorge. And please don't pretend you don't see the distinction - you're smarter than that.
I can take the tune of any hymn you want - how 'bout "Amazing Grace" - and add lyrics that are evil, satanic, and clearly unpleasing to God. Does that mean hymms aren't acceptable praise songs?
I don't listen to Christian rock to be a witness to my friends, I listen because it's catchy music with a good message. It's got a beat and I can dance to it. I'd rather do that with lyrics than honor God, than lyrics that honor the singer's current girlfriend.
