Hello,

I went online to check out Graig Lewis's website www.exministries.com and found this discussion site nairaland. the reason i am writing is 'cos quite a number of people have written to say music is about choice and that not all rappers are evil. well that view is fine, but that is not what Craig Lewis is saying. thats not the message

Craig (and i have watched his video) is saying that hip hop as a 'genre' and a 'culture' was created by someone and it has an agenda, which is simply to bring satan worship into the church. Period. He is not speaking to everyone. If you love Jesus and you are called by His name, you belong to the Church (body) of Christ, that means that you have no business listening to these people (hip hop artists). If you do not love Christ or want to know anything about His love, then go ahead and have fun, listen all you want it really doesnt matter anyway, Cos Craig was not sent to open your eyes to the real plan of the devil.

I know a lot of peoiple dont even believe in all these Satanic church stuff and think its all marketing gimmicks. Well it shouldnt bother you if you are really not interested in knowing the Truth. The truth is painful, i was shocked to find out that Alicia Keys was a member of the 5% Nation, I am a Christain, and I choose carefully what I listen to, but I love Alicia 'cos she's talented and very pretty, she is just all that, but i would never have imagined that this sweet little girl actually believes and practices this religion where they preach that the black man is god and there is no Jesus!.

For those who do not believe that such a religion exits please search the web. Now if i have a way of reaching Alicia I would, cos i want to show her the Truth in Gods word, I want to convert her, I feel sorry for jay Z, 50, Jah rule and the rest 'cos i know they are lost, and may or may not know what they are doing, or whose agenda they are furthering, but the fact remains that they are being used to expand the kingdom of satan, and ignorance is no excuse, i daresay that some of them are not ignorant but have willingly sold out for fame and MONEY, but those ones that dont know should be taught/ converted, in love. (I cant imagine that MASE went back!!!!!) That doesnt mean we should condone them though, when i expose them it is not because i hate them or i want to sound more catholic than than the pope, its simply because i have to let our young people know what the devil is sowing into their hearts, they dont know why they are the way they are, why they want to do the right things but always find themselves doing wrong, all in the name of livin it up, drugs, adolecent sex, crime, some of these people find no strenght in themselves to resist wrong doing, I know some people dont see anything wrong with livin it up, but who made those people right, if you believe that God created you, and that He has a plan for your life, then you def will know that it is not getting pregnant for one fool at the age of 18 and livin in a perpertual high that will cause you to find fulfillment in life. So again its a choice. (Sorry to use this example but check out what happened to Whitney, the most beautiful of the blues divas)

You can listen to whatever you want, but dont blame the devil when you cant resist the sexual overtures of an idiotic boy, that just wants to get some, and doesnt have any respect for your body or your heart, or cant resist the peer pressure of friends when they offer you some weed, or coke, dont look back after a wasted life and say it was the devil. Cos God gives everyone the power of choice, and remember the devil cannot force you to sin, he will only suggest it to you, and if you are exposed to sex, drug and crime/ violence everyday 'cos that all youve got playin in your home, car, ipod whatever, you will find it very hard, if not impossible to resist. And dont be fooled, sin is pleasurable, but the end of it is death (spiritual death) i guess that doesnt mean anything to does who dont beleive there's anything after our earthly existence anyway.

P.S I have not met any of you, and would not mind meeting anyone online who wants to talk more on this, especially FREE. Dear FREE I love you for your boldness in confronting your friends with this info that you discovered, please pray that God opens your eyes to see more of what He will have you do, remember He uses anyone willing! my addy is: midecampbell@hotmail.com

P.S Again: I was into Hip hop as a teenager and I knew/ rocked in the Zulu Nation, KR 1, Grand Master flash, Grand Buba etc days, in fact i was so into all of em, what Craig Lewis says is true, i was to in love with the music to notice, besides i was a kid and my eyes were blinded, so i could not appreciate the import of the subliminal messages. If you need proof, just go to a record store and read the album covers of all these artists. We thought satanism wsa a white man thing, if black brothers are talking openly about Satan its not marketing its a well thought out and executed agenda.

Have you ever thought to wonder why they dont sing good music anymo, LL sang 'i need love' in the 80's and he depicted emotional love and respect for women (he sold platnium), Now he sings 'doin it and doin it and doin well' the entire lyric is just an obscene depiction of sexual intercourse. Must they sing about sex, homo's, drugs, murder, whoredom, defilement, and apostasy to make money?? must they. Ever wondered how tupac (do u know the meaning of amaru) shakur and Biggie Smalls acurrately predicted their deaths in the very prime of their lives? sometin de oh!

Remember the devil makes great music (def beats and stuff) but there is a price tag for enjoying them
