Which is worse?

This comes from two different threads, but it's a thought I've had before: Which is worse, a radio station loaded with KJV only and anti-CCM preachers, word of faith preachers, and so-called propecy "experts" that is operated by a group that will allow anyone on for a buck, or one that is owned by people who actually agree with some of these and won't allow anything else on? <P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by ccmfan on 01/24/06 04:39 AM.</FONT></P>

I'll tackle this one. I don't think there is a distinction. The only way somebody would program a station like that is if they agree with the opinions of the programs. Because it is a dying minority opinion - there would not be much money in it, because fewer and fewer people over time would listen.

As far as convictions - the anti-CCM crowd knows they are losing, so they are very vocal. A little too vocal if you ask me - they are becoming a bit of an embarrassment to Christianity. Especially when one of them blurts out obscenities on the phone to one of my announcers like they did one time.

The presence of anti-CCM stations, web streams, web sites, etc. is no threat to God's truth in His Word. Being very serious about my own ministry and scriptural integrity - I studied this issue on and off for 3 years. I came to the undeniable conclusion that the Bible is completely neutral on musical style - opening up the entire spectrum of musical styles to the church. Therefore, I am glad that there are conservative hymmn streams out there, even if they link anti-CCM sites. Because there are people that worship God in Spirit and Truth that way. They need their music to build themselves spiritually. At the same time, they have NO RIGHT to dictate to other Christians that their style is the only valid one. Any more than the KJV-only people have a right to dictate Bible translations to the rest of us, or the Creationists impose their interpretation of Genesis on the church.

I think we will find the loving arms of our Savior encompass a lot of very diverse people - as long as they adhered to what is important: the substitutionary nature of Christ's blook on the cross. And another poster on here has made a very profound statement - implying that God himself may do a bit of sensitivity training by grouping us with people that, in life, made us uncomfortable. I may live in a mansion right next to a KJV-only, anti-CCM young earth creationist. We will have a good laugh at our own brands of foolishness during life.

Better yet, they might even hear dcTalk perform their hit song "Jesus Freak".

I agree that we'll probably see our arguments over music, worship style, etc. as being foolishness once we're in Heaven. I actually had the thought that possibly even now Jack Hyles or Lester Roloff (assuming they're there) are listening to Keith Green, Mark Heard, or Rich Mullins. :)

I'm reminded of a joke about someone getting to Heaven and being asked by St. Peter what group they belonged to, and they were walking past different rooms for Baptists, Catholics, Methodists, etc. (Perhaps even different rooms for different worship styles as well.) Suddenly, they come up on a room with the door closed and Peter tells the new person to be quiet going by that room, because "that's the (fill in the blank)'s and they think they're the only ones here." :)<P ID="edit"><FONT class="small">Edited by ccmfan on 01/25/06 06:04 AM.</FONT></P>

LOL I want my mansion to have full audio with subwoofers and a library including Lil Raskull and some T-Bone throwh in just for good measure. :)<P ID="signature">______________

Hope they'll let me play some Motown. I might get stuck next to the guy from the 16th century who wants to play Gregorian chants all day.<P ID="signature">______________
