If we are going to apply this reasoning regarding music, there is no
'style' of music that can be proclaimed pure Christian. Consequently no
music is acceptable under this reasoning.
IMHO, whether I worship Jesus in 3/4 time to a Hammond organ or worship
him with a distorted electric guitar doesn't matter - as long as I am
worshiping him. The same is true for singing the Gospel message.
The devil has used a lot of tools to deceive people, but it's not the
tools that are the problem, but the devil's use of them. The devil uses
churches to deceive people - should we not have churches? The devil uses
t-shirts to deceive people - should we not have t-shirts. The devil uses
mailing lists to deceive people - should we not have mailing lists?
Respectfully...
