Now, let's get to another point: How do you know James Brown had no faith in God?
Since one of his trademark phrases was "Good God."
IMO the original article was referring
to Proverbs chapter 28. It's worth a
read for one and all.
James Brown certainly did not reflect
God in his personal life style.
Adultery, drugs, excesses in every
facet of his life. But we'll let
God judge him rather than you or I.
Unfortunately Rodney many people are under the illusion that knowledge or belief in God is all that is required to recieve eternal life in the Kingdom of God. James Brown may have believed in God but the fruit of his life did not show an obedience to righteousness that comes from a life submitted to God. We do not earn our way to heaven but those going there are a seperate and distinct people from those of the world.
Believers may sin but they don't live a lifestyle of sin nor do they encourage others to a life of sin. Unfortunately rock music and it's lyrics do not glorify the holiness of our Creator. It is said that Lucifer was the leader of musical worship in heaven before his rebellion. As such Lucifer is well aware of the power of the influence music has on it's listeners. Rock and Roll has had a definite negative influence on the behavior and values of our current society.
You shall know a tree by the fruit it bears.
