Can you tell me where RnB was used in worshipping God?
Music originated from God. You can praise God anyway you know how.....
Tell me would slow paced songs like Neyo's songs, Celine Dion's, Mariah Carey etc be Godly if he sang them??
You are biased my dear.
Its not your place to decide what songs are rendered to God by others.! Worship Him your own way and let others do it their way! Frank Edwards has ministered to many in ways you haven't. He's spreading the gospel.....

I'd like to know, where exactly in the Bible is it written that rap is displeasing to God?? Huh??
Anyways, you're entitled to your opinion. But let it be yours...... Let others do it the way they know! Leave Frank Edwards out of it.
When we get there, we'll know if we were wrong in praising with different genres of music!

Yes ma

OP is so funny...Lmao!!!

I'm not even gonna say anything....except that Frank gospel songs....brings me closer to God...like it connects my soul to God's presence....

No doubt it does ...

Mescopaul:

Without singing age-long archaic songs there are wonderful nice gospel songs=> Buchi, Udoma, Don Meon, Samsong, Redeem worship, midnight crew and lots of others are the typical example of gospel songs , not frank's disco-like "gospel barbash".

Speaking of Kirk Franklin - didnt you hear when it was rumoured that he belonged to the Illum...

Guy, You don't know what you are saying.

Buchi has rap in one of his songs I know, Don Moen is on very cool terms with Frank, They done a couple of unreleased song together . Redeem worship( is dis connected to RCCG?) cos I've ministered rap songs several times at some of their parishes. Samsong has lotta raps I mean lots, midnyt crew? u haven't heard midnyt crew's Abdul morire remix? JAM of LIFe

But, let's say you lack knowledge and you need some help, so Lemme ask, what makes rap genre worldly to you?

simafem:
its not all abua d lyrics buh also genre...i was playing franks song 1 day and a guy asked me,is dat gospel?

What's genre was mentioned in the bible?

striktlymi:


Okay, cool! But some believers still use it for the wrong reasons.



The good rap has brought to Christendom is the same as the good any other brand of Christian songs has brought to Christianity. Broadly speaking, these include:

1) Help to propagate the gospel of Christ.
2) Used to glorify God and edify the church.



That assessment is VERY WRONG!!! If a song says: "God is good" it matters not the brand of song used to say it. A song will only be bad when the lyrics are bad.

I bet you approve of traditional gospel songs but you do not say that these songs glorify Amadioha or Sango because the lyrics are good and edifies the Church.

What I see here is you having a bias against rap in general. For you, it is not about the lyrics but about the song. Lets take R&B for example.

A lot of gospel songs take this form and we do not complain about them but the truth is that a lot of 'worldly songs' are R&B related.



The above is your personal grouse and has no footing in sacred scriptures. You are the one complaining, not God. Praise is not a brand of song. One can praise God without singing.

If one chooses to praise God using any brand of song he likes, this does not stop it from being a song of praise to God. Human beings look and judge people from what they see but God who is the righteous judge looks at the heart.

When people use rap to praise God, I expect God to be the one to complain about it not you or anyone else. The only time any song would be wrong, will be when the lyrics of such songs, do not edify the church.

Good one.


There is no such thing as christian song. We only have christian lyrics.

Ehh? Tell me somethng

Redeem worship( is dis connected to RCCG?) cos I've ministered rap songs several times at some of their parishes.

As if you are any bit different from Frank, and you've never read the bible where it said "Let he that stand heed lest he fall?"

Samsong has lotta raps I mean lots, midnyt crew? u haven't heard midnyt crew's Abdul morire remix? JAM of LIFe

Ehhn? I never knew i was calling devils angels of light...according to you.

But, let's say you lack knowledge

You spoilt it all here, first, do u really knw the meaning of the word "knowledge" If you do, then u choose nt to act and react by the knowledge you have

and you need some help, so Lemme ask, what makes rap genre worldly to you?

You want to know Then first read my post again, and dnt forget to take a luk at the comments prior to yours. Remain Blessed.

This op is sick. I'm sure he is a CAC member or equivalent...

What does the bible say about rap music or genre of music?

Oyinprince:

Sure!

What does the bible say about rap music or genre of music?

Ephesians 5:19
Colosians 3:16.
.
.

Genres of songs/music couldn't have existed in the days of the Apostles, so Paul couldn't have categorically told them which genre to or not to use, but we make inferrences, deductions, and insinuations from the solem words "Spiritual songs, psalms, etc"

Since genres didn't exist then and apostle Paul didn't tell us which not to use, you are helping him to tells us not to use rap/ hip hop abi

okay, so what genre are those spiritual songs, psalms and hymns?

Rap songs are hiphop are spiritual songs shey? Maybe u shud go buy a collection of hymns and help urself, better still listen to songs by Hillsong United.

Pls stop this arguement, i'm, and have ever been tired of it, if my previous comments to others lyk u do not suffice you, fine, leave it the way it is, okay?

I see ...

Mescopaul:

Christians today in and Outside the country have been led astray by the so-called gospel musics.

Frank Edwards songs (sorry to say) have turned many real christians into surface worldly church goers.

I dont see why someone should decieve himself by saying he's a gospel singer, while the tune, language, and beat of the songs are very worldly (except for a few though). If not for the occassional mention of 'JESUS' or 'GOD', one would think he were listening to a hip hop special or one of these nigerian circular songs.

Please lets tell ourselves the truth, this guy's songs are worldly and would stand against many on the last day!

Do you think otherwise?
The ball is in your court.

A Lady told me about Frank Edward and she said he sings a lot,so i asked her which kind of songs then she said "Gospel rap" Gospel what? I replied, Gospel rap She affirmed. Brother you are doing a great job for enlightening the Church but instead of them listening they will start arguing in ignorance If possible they can stone you. God Bless u my brother. ONE BODY ONE CHURCH.

Spiritual songs exalts ur soul nd makes u worship God.Now whats exalting in dat Gospel rap? Or can u compare that to Don Moen songs?

Mescopaul:
I don't really have any problem with rap, except for the fact that it denotes worldliness.

They won't listen to you bro except for those who has been given.

Have read your comments and there seems to be confusion not on the part of the OP but on the part of those who lack insight.
To clear the issue on ground i suggest we put down a question nd lets build on it. As its impossible to climb a ladder from the top but from the bottom. So lets do it as a Church, One Body of Christ and,
The Question is WHAT IS GOSPEL?
NOTE: All claims must be back up with the Bible,No assumption or Thinking. All explanation must be directly from the Scripture, No theology,no stories only the Bible. Lets get it on

Pls you guys should come out to this NOW.
I think starlingleanets has a point here.
I'll sit back and watch you guys teach us the bible.

The first question NOW is
WHAT IS GOSPEL ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE??

Don't keep silent. Let's treat this once and for all.

Please stop dragging Christianity into your own background believes.

And agin, maybe I missed the part where you explain exactly how Christian music is supposed to sound like? Enlighten me please.

Looking down on someone's belief, dats all u pple knw wen u know nothing. Who the hell do tink u are to chose the songs I direct to the almighty. Bunch of stupidies
