| nakia1980: CAN Christians listen to r and b music? Obviously, they CAN. Your question, I'm sure, is meant to be, SHOULD they? ..... For clarity, let's assume you mean rhythm and blues, and for the sake of argument, let's expand the topic to include rap, hard metal, acid rock, and other variants of current "music" that people, largely young people, listen to these days. In consideration of the anti-Christian aura that is associated, with and in many cases promoted by, many forms of music these days -- things like rebellion against parents and civil authorities, promotion of violence, immorality, drug usage, and profaning of what is sacred, even to the extent of promoting witchcraft and satanism -- a Christian man or woman, young or old, should be very, very cautious about what he permits his mind to be filled with. He sould meditate upon what the Bible means by keeping oneself unstained by the world. (See James 1:27) .... In Philippians 4:8 the Bible says, "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things." ..... Now I ask you, what is there, really, that is true, honorable, right, pure, lovely, of good repute, excellent and worthy of praise about many, if not most, forms of present-day secular music? Does it really meet the test given in this Bible verse of things worth dwelling on? ...... Jesus, in Matthew 5:16, said, "Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." ..... Again I ask, What is there about the sex, drugs, and violence associated with many forms of modern music that glorifies God in any way? ..... Conclusion: There are many other, and vastly better, kinds of music to enjoy than R and B, Rap, Hard Rock, etc. One does not have to sacrifice his love of music in order to be an effective and faithful follower of Christ. But he may need indeed to modify and upgrade his musical tastes. --Hank | ||||||
