You know why I hate forums? They want your email, and all this other personal crap, then they have all these power hungery teenagers called moderators bugging you forever. People use little short words that only forum regulars can understand and stupid smiley faces.  If you need to do reasearch don't use google.com, as it will send you to Wikipedia or a forum instead of a useful site everytime. At least this site only asks for email, and logs you in immediatley. My point is the Devil has his hand in everything, EvErYtHiNg. You talk about what we don't know about hip hop but how much do you know about THIS SITE RIGHT HERE? What hidden messages are in these threads. I've know about EXministries, the makers of "The Truth about Hip Hop" and they got it for places just like this to. THey just haven't made DVDs about it yet. |

@ EVERYONE
I don't see why you all take this pastor's word seriously. He is incredibly biased about most things (Jewelry, music, art) and often his "facts," just don't add up. As for hip hop, it's STILL just a form of expression and culture. If you really hate it, then maybe you should stay away from other cultures. Do you you hate reggae? How about rock, pop, and alternative? However, I am glad to see that at least some of you out there are level headed enough to see that there is NOTHING evil about hip hop! Come on, people. Be accepting. Trust me, it WILL make your life much easier.

Guyz I still think the truth should be told. Listen and you will hear, Seek and you will find. Search your heart before you make a decision. We all know the truth but we shy away from it.

i read this and it def makes u think, i believe that hip hop does portray a negativ things in many cases but i do listen to it, its strange bcuz i never respected jay-z for callin himself god emcee bcuz no1 has the right to compare himself to god, three 6 mafia is juss crazy satanic lol but i listen to tupac most frequently, i like pac bcuz although he was not perfect he wanted better for the world nd he had sum deep songs, he reflected on his mistakes nd i believe that he was definitely a good person at heart, he like all of us was a sinner nd he was born into a position where there was more sin than in other places, he was born in the gutter where as sum ppl are born higher up and hav less to come up from, the pastor or preacher whatever his title is is definitely also sending a good msg but i dont agree when he made the statement that there is no god in the hood basically, god is evrywhere and thats a fact, i think that music is definitely influential and many ppl reinact things they here bcuz they think its kool or sumthing but if u hav enuf faith in god i dont think that the music can really grab hold of you, god can protect u if you ask him, i sin nd i do wrong juss like evry1 else but im human and we're going to sin, its up to us as individuals to ask jesus and god for help nd to deliver us from sin, im not saying satan doesnt work through music but instead of bashing sum of these artists try nd help them, pray for them nd dont follow in their footsteps, you dont have to do evrything like them but they dont all hav bad msgs, u say that dont include the lord on a cd filled with things going against god but its that one song that ppl like me use to inspire me to do better by my family or frends or just in lyfe, bcuz jesus should be your biggest inspiration no doubt but he was perfect nd we are not, he is also not here in the flesh soo it makes it even harder for this generation but thats y we turn to parents or many times artists for guidance nd many times we do it negatively but me as a person i try nd follow the positive things sum of these rappers say, my name is alex, im 16, i dont get high or drunk nor am i having sex yet i listen to hip hop, nd yea satan is in the music but ultimately its your choice whut u make of it, r u stronger than satan???  |

Hello to all its been a minute but I have been checking in to see what has been happening, it appears the topic is loosing a little steam, so I’ll just put my little thing and see how that goes.
What I would like to do is call attention to the revelation of truth, truth brings to light what has not been seen before, its hard to push it back under the carpet or close behind the door once it has been seen and that is what’s happening with Sin (the culture of Hip Hop), it’s being revealed.
Just for the sake of sharing, some of the things that I will be writing about came about from a study that I was involved in a few months ago…
There are ongoing challenges towards Christianity, many believe that there is nothing tangible about the gospel, the church has been polluted resulting in worship and belief being abandoned. We are a society that has become desensitized to Hell, often referring to Hell as the current life we are living in (due to our circumstances, living environments, etc) So the rejection of Christianity has been played out in the following beliefs that have been adopted by the humanistic society that exist:
Rationalism: reliance on reason as the basis for establishment of religious truth
Materialism: a doctrine that the only or the highest values or objectives lie in material well-being and in the furtherance of material progress
Secularism: indifference to or rejection or exclusion of religion and religious considerations
Pluralism: state of society in which members of diverse ethnic, racial, religious, or social groups maintain an autonomous participation in and development
So the reactions to a proclaimed truth of the bible is thrown into a humanistic context and rationalized as unbelievable or unreal to the reason/or lack of reasoning.
So being accepting is not a possibility when dealing with the plights of this world, because Jesus said because you come in the name of Jesus they will reject you as they rejected me.
My question how do we see God. See when we limit him and see him as a person up in heaven detached from our realties on earth he cries because that is not how he wants to be seen felt or heard. We are limiting our God by believe that he is detached from our realities; I believe God is much bigger than that but we have to trust him, in all we do.
God wants us to be victorious against Satan, but we cannot do this alone, when we try alone we are prone to fail because Satan is much bigger than the appearance of bad people and dark clothing, he causes us to go against God.

Wow this is the biggest load of horseshit I've ever read, and people actually think this nonsense is "deep". Man, I thought the Religion section of this board was packed full of gullible people, but this thread definitely takes the cake.

Sorry once again, basically my write up is a review of how our world today tries to explain away God and his power,
Also in the bible it refers to truth as light being revealed in dark places which can causes a disruption because we can no longer ignore what has been seen as the truth.
I apologize that I could not get the opportunity to go into more but if there are any questions Ill try my best. Common gbade there is always a point, how would you like it be applicable to you!

drea, no offence, but the topic's dead, as in six feet stone cold dead. Let it rest, will ya? And if you want a spin-off, i believe the Religion section would be best suited for talk like this. . . .

I have found out where hell is and heaven is underconstruction still have a long way to go but they have started leasing the houses who wants an apartment should just contact me heaven or hell any one. so even if you listen to hiphop you can still go to heaven or hell any one you want.Its your choice and your bucks.

The only thing Evil is the way religion controls peoples minds and makes them think like robots.
It's just music, if you don't like it don't buy it. Stop putting "Evil" labels on people just because they don't believe the same thing as you.

I agree with you 100%. You see, I know this already. But what about gospel hip hop. Like my good friend says hip hop is the beat, its the movement. Its the lyrics that is bad not the beats. I agree with you. But if you condemn secular hip hop and R&B, don't condemn gospel hip hop becos I have friend that does gospel hip hop very well. His name is MBT, you can download his songs from his website at http://mbtpromo |
