Man this is so not cool! Listen; music styles are music styles!!! I can go through all of Marvin Sapps last CD and find a secular song that are similar in style and progression. Its not the musical progression that makes a song Christian or secular its the heart and the spirit AND intention behind it!!!!!
You guys have to stop taking scriptures like I John 2:15 out of context!!!! If you're going to view this scripture the way some of you have then you might as well become Amish or Mennonites!!!
Check these out:
And it came about that He was reclining at table at his [Matthew’s] house, and many tax-gatherers and sinners were dining with Jesus and His disciples; for there were many of them, and they were following Him. And when the scribes and the Pharisees saw that He was eating with the sinners and tax-gatherers, they began saying to His disciples, “Why is He eating and drinking with tax-gatherers and sinners?” And hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners” (Mark 2:15-17; also Matthew 9:10-12; Luke 5:29-30).
Another example is that Jesus healed and cast out demons on the Sabbath which to the law makers (the Pharisees) was against the law!!! Matthew 12:10, Matthew 12:1-8; Mark 2:23-28; Luke 6:1-5
EVEN Jesus himself had unorthodox ways of reaching the lost AND it wasn't always to the law!!!!
