Christian music? - Seventh-day Adventists' Leading Forum

Welcome with open arms fellow believers who don’t see things the way you do.
And don’t jump all over them every time they do or say something you don’t agree with
– even when it seems that they are strong on opinions but weak in the faith department.
Remember, they have their own history to deal with. Treat them gently. Romans 14.1: The Message

A composer [no less than J.S.Bach himself, actually] used to use popular melodies of the times as themes for his religious compositions. _________________________ Jeannie ...Change is inevitable; growth is optional....

USA	My understanding is that some of the tunes to our hymns started out as drinking songs...However...........I must admit that when hearing the song,"Search me O Lord"......I still hear the tune "Now is the Hour"....

Tom Wetmore Latitudinarian Registered: 2000-06-21 Posts: 4606 Loc: Silver Spring, MD, USA	Originally Posted By: Gregory Matthews What makes music Christian? Is it the tune? Is it the lyrics? Why? When a Christian makes music... What makes a shout spiritual? "Shout to the Lord!" What makes a a dance spiritual? "Praise His name with dancing." "And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus..." _________________________ "Absurdity reigns and confusion makes it look good." "Sinless perfection is such a shallow goal." "I love God only as much as the person I love the least." *Forgiveness is always good news. And that is the gospel truth. (And finally, the ideas expressed above are solely my person views and not that of any organization with which I am associated.)
