Secular Music w/ a God Given Gift? What do you think?

[tondee]

... as in the information on the link you posted Prince was/is (because I don't know the credibility of this info) a Seven Day Adventist.

There's no creditability issue.  It's ALL over the place.  Prince did not keep this a secret:

As my point was to be careful in our judgements of people's spiritual/religious belief's as musicians still stands.

If we recognize what they say out their own mouths means we're judging them??

Now to see  the point of dragging me (someone trying to bring this bickering to an end) through the mud is what should be avoided... throwing stones from glass houses.

Dragging you thru the mud, just because I said they're JWs???

We are not the judge of anyone's salvation. We can only hope to be a vessel of enlightenment to the knowledge of the one whom is, Jesus Christ under authority of the One whom sent Him our Creator, God Almighty.

You can't be a vessel and witness for Christ if you paint yourself into a corner to the extent that you can't point out if someone is worshipping a rock because that's 'judging another's salvation.'


Why are you getting defensive and offended??  I agreed with you.  I was just saying those guys are JWs.  Their doctrine is to NOT accept the Diety of Jesus, contrary to the Gospel (and Jesus).  That's not an attack on them.  That's their doctrine.  Go and talk to one.
 
Hey, we're Christians, I think.  We're suppose to try to understand one another and try to work together.  All you needed to say was you disagree.  At times, I DO set out to offend people but this wasn't one of those times.  So, I apologize.

1st of all would everyone go back and read what I wrote on the other page. Secondly can this topic be locked? And never brought up again. This is a personal matter between a individual and christ. Just because someone else may say its wrong or they can't do it, don't mean its wrong to and with everyone else. Lets grow up and really be mature in the things of God.

As I stated before can we really do a real self examination? No need to worry about the log in somone else eye when you have the whole tree in yours. Lets really just stop this.

I did get somewhat offended though admittedly I may have mistaken your comments so you apology is accepted. I even offfer my apology to you for misinterpreting.

Short and sweet of it is like I and others have stated in various ways... We LGM members need to leave this topic alone and consult GOD on that. This discussion is alienating people unnecessarily. It causes people to get judgmental, defensive , self-righteous and all the other human stuff that we get. My intial comments were in hopes of extinguishing this thread without too many folk getting caught in the cross-fire. People such as kaddw and mrwhite said it better than I did yet the pots and pans are still flying. Let's just end this and get back to more concrete teaching/learning and community.

"Great!!!" says Tondee as he ducks to avoid another pot flying in the air...  No joking, I feel MUCH better knowing that we're okay with each other.  I feel 'at fault' because I twisted the subject away from the post subject of Secular Music.  Thanks for accepting my apology.  And I accept yours.
