Well on some areas of this site truth is irrelevant. Going to the Bible Forums you can expect almost entirely pharisees. Rigid. Self righteous braggarts. Quick to condemn and attack anyone who disagrees with them. So good luck.

Because it's what sells. Labels are going to put out what makes them money. Especially when it comes to music, most Christians prefer 'safe' sounding music that is considered 'God approved'. But ultimately it's also put out by secular labels as well. And that should be telling. The same label...

You asked for advice. I gave it. You're welcome. Oh, wait. You didn't say thank you. Nevermind.

I lived in CA, between LA and San Diego counties, for 10 years. And the expense is no joke. Bear in mind it's not just rent that's expensive. Everything is. When I lived out there is when the gas prices spike happened and people were paying $5 a gallon in my area, and LA was worse. When I was...

That's not really the point. Anytime a new user joins and tries to immediately get people off the site it will look suspicious. It doesn't matter what the reason is. It's a common tactic for scammers and others with bad intentions. And while you may not have bad intentions the site still has...

Eh. I believe there can be people that fully believe they're doing what's right by trying to silence others. And the bible showed even those closest to Jesus still revealed traits many modern Christians would say couldn't exist in a Christian. In fact if we look at Peter we see someone that...

Do a search for a site called Fight the New Drug. They have all kinds of info, interviews with people formerly in porn and such. Lots of info there that may help piece things together a bit more.

Do you mean it will kick you off after a while? Or when you open it, you have to manually log in each time? Like most sites, there is a time limit for inactivity before it boots you. So that's normal. If you mean the other way, it doesn't keep me logged in either. One possible reason is how...

I don't know of another user on this site who puts so much time and attention into making sure they're doing right and living right by God. So don't worry.

I'm probably not the best person to respond to this. But here goes. I find often times Christians have a very black and white view of things, even when it's not black and white. There's this idea that if you're a Christian you must immediately fit into this box of rules that prove you're saved...

This is why I tend toward less mainstream styles. Even smaller labels tend to be less controlling and allow more freedom for bands and musicians. The biggest controversies among some of the music I listen to aren't label based but recording/production based. With digital recording the norm...

So it's your belief that people that write songs about nihilism or vowing allegiance to Norse gods, rape and murder can also write Christian music? And what Sabaton writes about is irrelevant to this because their lyrics and themes are not the point. And they are a band that writes about...

Don't tell him. Nothing you did caused him to sin, so what is there to discuss? However telling him what happened may in return cause him to have the same type of thoughts about you. Then you may be responsible. When we're in the middle of things it can be harder to see things clearer. The rest...

The notion that if something isn't permanent it isn't worth it is false and I guarantee other aspects of your life aren't lived that way. So why single this one out?

Nothing new or surprising. Record labels are a business. Businesses are about making money. Most CCM labels have secular parent labels. Thus the CCM labels are ran by secular companies with secular practices. Personally I've never been a fan of CCM. I find the music trite, boring and...

This is actually a cover of the song by the band Manowar. The song after this one on the album... My father was a wolf I'm a kinsman of the slain Sworn to rise again I will bring salvation, punishment and pain The hammer of hate is our faith Power and dominion are taken by the will By divine...

Translation, get sent to jail and leave the kids in his custody with no one to monitor them. And if divorce happens he now looks like the victim of an out of control and dangerous wife, which gives him every advantage in court, including custody of the children. Or maybe he'll get angry himself...

The earliest I've ever heard the term is 1992. Nearly 30 years ago. Popularized by the movie of the same name. The term always seems to be related to basketball and not meant as a generalized statement. At least I've not seen it any other way. I don't need to "plat" to be aware of this old term...

CCM is just a broad, somewhat generic genre. So I'm not sure how that's changing anything? And can you be more detailed as to what you're asking? I'm not understanding your question at all. What constitutes "original work"? How is it not being accepted?

Don't know that this is a "hot topic" 😂
