No, it wasn't a sin and you shouldn't delete it.\n\nYou made your point.

Of course not! It is the holiday season and if Christmas lights are put up, and seasonal items are being sold, there is bound to be some X-Mas music. There is nothing to be offended about.\n\nHappy Holidays! =)

Yes sir. I'm living proof.\n\nMy son took some Islamic calls to prayer (if that's the proper wording) and set them to Middle Eastern music for me. They are hauntingly beautiful...\n\nI love all types of music, even hymns, yet I am an atheist. It is certainly possible...it's called having an open mind.

Yes, the song is definitely homosexual.  The group is famously gay and is singing about a guy having oral sex with another guy.  Can't get more homosexual than that.  The song lyrics are simple and to the point.  So to speak :o)

Now is the time to deny your child rap "music."  If you encourage this preference he has for this genre he will not relish "kiddy-friendly" rap for his entire life.  This type of music is not wholesome - it does the opposite of encouraging good citizenship and morality.\n\nIntroduce him to Mozart.

If nothing offensive could be heard out in public, we would not have half of the music on the market today. I find abortion offensive, should that make it against the law? How about fat people in bikini's where does it end? We have to many stupid laws already.

Well we all know that technically its illegal but I have no problem with it.  If you have tried to get the music legally and can only obtain it through the net the "Que sera"! lol

The genre is not the issue. However, the lyrics are very important. I was saved during the Jesus People movement, and the music being brought in (tame by todays standards) was considered devil music by other denominations. However, it was a constant source of blessing for me because the words were so uplifting. It really does depend on the lyrics in my opinion.

We like any kind of music, we are not aliens from outer space!!!!!!

It's not an "explicit" song...it's categorized in such a manner due to the fact that it's lyrics may disturb....(death, grief, etc)..Did you mean to ask what was considered explicit on the new album? Easily answered, listen to their song about teenagers.

If you are Christian and like Christian music, I would suggest anything from the "Wow" series. It is sort of like the "Now" series, but with Christian contemporary music. There is no fear that the music won't be "clean" and it actually has a Christian message.  I like Wow 2004 and Wow 2005.  (They issue a new disc every year)

Even if the artist thanks God in their insert, that may just be a selling tactic, or they are just doing it because it is the thing to do.  Look at their lyrics, are they for God, or against Him??  If they were really born again, the Spirit would be living in them, and you would see the fruit of that in their music.  For example, if they were singing about sleeping with random people, and thinking that that was a great time, then they probably have not given their life over to the real Master.  You can tell if they are Christian by their actions.

I don't. In fact, I find it cool. It's totally inspiring that Christian bands are penetrating the mainstream music scene. It's one way of spreading Jesus.

EXTREMELY ANNOYED!\nMy sister is very into christian rock, I would take sacred music from a hymnal any day, at least it has beauty.

Music is a gift from God. Song and praise where a part of worship since the ancient Isrealite days. That doesn't mean that all music is perfectly fine to listen to.\nProv. 6:27 says "Can a man rake together fire into his bosom and yet his very garments not be burned?" What this means is you can't expect to take it all in and it have no effect on you. I am a musician and I love rock, but you have to draw limits. If the lyrics or style bothers your conscience, don't listen to it. Don't let anyone tell you what only your conscience can decide. For me, some songs that swear a lot or that have violent or immoral themes bother me to listen to, so I don't.  1 Cor. 10:31 says “Whether you are eating or drinking or doing anything else, do all things for God’s glory.” If it brings dishonor to God, it is not acceptable. I'm glad you think to ask such things. Thanks.

Being a Christian myself I don't think in my own personal mind I don't think that the kind of music you like should interfear with your religion. To me, they're totally diff worlds. My personal life, which consits of my culture, my school, what I like to do in my spare time, and what music I like, and then another world which is my relgion, Christianity, which still consits of me, and my personal out look on my Christianity so, I don't think trhat the music you like interfears with your Christianity
