Ministers or Mini-Stars?
« on: September 25, 2009, 02:28:43 PM »
I tell you ain't NOBODY gon cry loud and spare not like the late Pastor Nathan Simmons...

Good Lord...

*WARNINGS* He uses the "n" word, and there's some subject matter in there I know some will disagree with (re: secular music).

Agree or disagree, this is a good example of what prophets do. Prophets don't just predict houses and cars and millionnaire status. Prophets issue warnings and foretell of judgment that is to come, even if they gotta tell on themselves... whew. This is a heavy one.

When you're in love you don't want to fall asleep bc reality is finally better than your dreams.

Ummmm, needless to say, I don't frequent the Organ Room... lol.  And when I do, I don't open threads that say "Attention Musicians: PLEASE READ" because... well... you know... I'm not a musician. LOL!

I know, I was just posting so people who dont frequent the organ room could read the responses. I'm sure you will get different answers and opinions here in the lounge....especially from non musicians...like yourself :D..... 8)

Oh ok, in that case: thanks. And for the record, don't be calling me a non-musician. Only I can say that.

I do play the drums. **neck roll and  ::)**

With all due respect to the late Supt. Simmons, that is the sum total of his ministry. It's his legacy.  What you said right there sums it all up.

I've heard him say some things with my two ears that I could never repeat, partially because I still don't believe I heard it. LOL! But seriously, dude was just plain raw.

I watched it again. Honestly, I agree with some of what he said but the music things sounds off base to me. you're telling me that people arent being delivered etc, because the musicians incorporate jazz? ?/? Dont even get me started.

Man, I initially typed:

"Devils aren't being cast out because my chords are too jazzy?  ok."

Then deleted it and settled on my other post instead. 

Is there a spirit in that chord?   ?/?

Is there a demonic force that's activated when I play a certain run?   ?/?

Is God's delivering power only accessible when I play a 1-4-5 progression?    ?/?

*sigh*

Well....since the "tritone" was called the "Devil's interval", maybe anyone that uses it or chords with tritones in them, like Dominant7th, are unwittingly instruments of the devil.

Yeah, I didn't know what to make of that part, either. But, I've heard many preachers say similar things. I think it can somewhat be explained in a way that makes a little more sense (though it won't change anyone's opinion), but I don't have the clarity of thought right now to put in my two cents.

Wow...I never heard that term before.  I just Googled it and was floored.  The "Brooklyn" style of organ playing is built on the tritone...interesting.

Someone simply didn't like the dissonant sound of the tritone and gave it that label.

Doesn't the bible say that God is not the author of confusion (discord/dissonance)?

Oh, I can assure you he was dead serious.

He told the truth.  He didn't say anything that we didn't already know, he just said it out loud.  With some of us, it doesn't matter until someone else or someone in particular says it.
When you've done your very best, do even better.
