Christian Rock: Would Jesus listen to it?

lol i went to a christian school from 1st to 9th grade and i remember they used to tell us it was a sin to listen to any kind of music that had a beat because it would make our bodies move in ungodly ways. i always thought that was ridiculous, like why would god hate music?

Sounds like it was a fun experience from 1-9.

Music was discovered in celebration and religious ceremonies with chants and whatnot to god(s) goddesses, deities, kings etc. etc. long before christianity ever existed,

Try telling that music with a beat is sin, to a gospel church here in the southern U.S. (though the thought of a capitalist Jesus is hilarious to me, but thats something else all together)

lol it wasn't that bad, i listened to my music anyways...

The Bible does not really give any indication as to any preferences Jesus may have. All that hoopla a couple decades ago about syncopated rhythm being evil was a bunch of poppycock. However, I think it would be fair to assume that Jesus would not be a fan of music that is obviously designed to be negative and/or take pleasure in evil. Basically my opinion can be summed up here

Jesus would listen to and love all kinds of music equally...

...except BrokeNCYDE.

If he happened to pop into my local Methodist church, I'm not sure he would have appreciated the slightly off-key mumbling of hymns as warbled by the purple rinse congregation that's for sure.

He'd probably hate it because 1) Pretty much all Christian bands sound horrible 2) They're using his name to sell. Rheiken

Jesus Didn't hate Judas for betraying him, or the people who denied him, Jesus didn't hate the ones who crucified him, (he looked to the sky and said "forgive them for they know not of what they do" then I guess God the all knowing, all enlightened being was like "Oh, yeah I guess I didn't think of that, thanks for letting me know.)

You think he would hate this?

JESUS DIDN'T HATE!

I remember seeing a live Christian rock band in some cafe. It was about an hour of different songs each consisting of a lyric repeated over and over again. Ex:

"I'm counting on, I'm counting on God.

I'm counting on, I'm counting on God.

I'm counting on, I'm counting on God.

I'm counting on, I'm counting on God."

Like this, but it wasn't a joke.

This reminds me of Bruno's Visit to a Christian Rock Concert.

It seems like it's about time for Jesus to go through a rebellious phase, he'd probably listen to Satanic Black Metal.

First, I am a devout Christian. Secondly while Jesus may appreciate the intentions of those who made the music, he would agree that it sucks harder than any genre of music in existence. So, no he wouldn't listen to it.

I think Jesus has better taste than that.

Being a Christian who dislikes the vast majority of Christian music (it's not the lyrics that bother me, it's the actual music), I don't think Jesus would listen to the music that praises himself, opposed to music that glorifies God the Father. (which I wouldn't put it past him to listen to).

I'm sure Jesus can appreciate face melting rock as much as the next deity.

I don't think Jesus would listen to music.

It was my assumption that christian music is suppose to praise God, and not man. Alot of christian people preach against "worldy"/secular music, yet some listen to this "christian" rock/rap that, more or less, takes worldly music and adds christian lyrics. IMO, christian rock is worse that regular rock, it tries to justify wordly music in God's name.

listening to christian rock is a sin

First,barely anypopular Christian rock songs feature riffs from "secular" (I feel so lame typing that word) songs with Christian lyrics. If so, its a poor tactic because most people can figure out the original lyrics. Anyway, I think it depends on the musician's intensions for making Christian music. You could make God-praising music with the intension of making it big.

I don't know. I think it's terrible though from a musical standpoint.
