/christian/ - Christian Discussion and Fellowship

Seriously? I came to 8chan to get away from this tacky stuff.

Worshiping Christ is never tacky friend. We need more of this stuff to fight the Satanic forces that dominate our culture. Remember the psalms were meant to be sung. Sing the praises of Christ loud and proud, never be made to feel ashamed of your love of Christ

>>766565

Amen brother!

I don't know if this fits the definition of hillsong worship, but I like this non-chant. Praise the Lord!

Hell song.

Stay away with that pseudo-christian music. It's a substitute drug for your desire for worldly pop music.

Keep hell and its songs to yourself.

>>766597

If I'm going to listen to music then it's going to be music about Jesus. Deal with it.

Hillsong is the worst possible example of evangelical worship

I'll admit I'm not totally against Hillsong, I'd rather listen to people worshipping Jesus than yet another song about drugs, women, crime, or whatever they sing about now. I don't think it should belong in a mass, but it has its place.

>>766620

Exactly. The Bible says to praise the Lord with song and music.

>Praise the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens.

>Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness.

>Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre,

>Praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with the strings and flute,

>Praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals.

>Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD.

>>766597

You sound like a Jehovah's Witness.

Song related has literally made me cry irl multiple times. My favorite Hillsong by all measures

>>766597

>>766608

Hillsong has a worse reputation than it deserves. Its music is really good and wholesome, and it definitely isn't just pop music reskinned

Love that song OP and this one is great too

>>766565

Much, if any, of these aren't Psalms. They're written by just individuals, and mostly pop music with a religious chorus. Not the Word of God. If I wanted Psalms, there's a Psalter and a church who has been singing them for eons.

And the Hillsong pastor is a heretic. See vid. The guy can't even Rule # 1 right.

>>766592

It's not my fault that the world is corrupt and Christianity is "muh sekrit club".

>>766709

>and mostly pop music with a religious chorus

This is what the psalms were too when they were written, buddy

>>766712

No. They are the literal Word of God. And full of prophecies of Christ. Not some singer-songwriter schtick inspired by simple praise.

Is this what Christianity has been reduced to now? The voice of the Holy Spirit just reduced to some mundane instance of "A Star is Born"? Ugh.

I'm a musician myself btw. A guitarist (and other string instruments) going on 30 years.. and it's not a holy endeavor. It's all junk, at the end of the day. Nothing I do on my own would ever reach the heights of praise coming from heaven.

This goes for much of what passes itself off as hymns in most churches btw.. Not just modern Hillsong stuff.

>>766714

There's nothing wrong with songs proclaiming the glory of Christ, it's encouraged. Stop being a snob, no-ones saying you need to listen to it in your Latin mass.

Wasn't Hillsong involved with some cult or am I thinking of another group?

Pastor Lentz is an epic dude with sick tats who hangs out with Justin Bieber, and his sermons are pretty cool too

>>766721

In 200 years this will be the new Ave Maria

>>766722

Doesn't matter. Ave Maria is a Schubert song first.. that came from a bigger work about Scotland (the Lady and the Lake). It was only fully adapted from Catholics later. It's not even that old. Psalms are literally thousands of years older.

Even then, Ave Maria is from scripture too. You obviously don't seem to differentiate emotionalism and inspired words of the Spirit. And then call me a snob for pointing this out. I'm not here to be a snob. It's genuinely troubling.

>>766725

>You obviously don't seem to differentiate emotionalism and inspired words of the Spirit

Uh, I obviously can I just deny your assertion that it's wrong to create new pieces of music to honor our Lord and God. Frankly I think you're a bit autistic because creating beautiful works of art, music and architecture has a very long tradition in western Christianity. This is no different, you're just being a Christian hipster and claiming the old shit is better because reasons.

>>766558

>Trash pop music

>worship

How about…no. This turning christianity into a hippie religion is everything what;s wrong with modern world

>>766722

>in 200 years this will be the new Ave Maria

Doubt that. our era won't be remembered as great nor its "art" will be upheld so.

I am not advocating against music. Listen what you like but do not call it "worshiping God" or "this will be the new Ave Maria". Most of those songs praise individual who created them, their melody has nothing transcendental, its all physical music made to make you dance. It won't be the new ave maria because its value is low. As the modern architecture churches are. Beauty is not relative, it comes for God. Music that worships God - gregorian chants, Byzantine chants, etc have inner beauty. It is precisely the praising God and his creation that is beautiful about them.

Other music may be beautiful as well - folk music, secular classical music, even rock music in some cases, this rock music too. BUT they praise human being, not God.

>>766721 puts it well. Peace brother.

Or are you going to tell me that you seriously think that "ave maria" or "agni partene" is as beautiful to you as hillsong. Lol. would not take you seriously if you did of would pity you for having such a low taste, not discerning what actually has value.

hillsong is more than a church pop band, they are a modernist protestant sect, too modernist even for the actual other protestant sects

i'd stay away

>>766558

>not posting this classic

>>768377

Most protestant sects are premodern, and come from the great awakening in the 19th century. They aren't modernist in any sense.

Beware wolves in sheeps clothing.

All is not what it seems in Hollywood.

>larping

This board will eat up heavy metal songs and chants, but post a beautiful song worshipping and actually declaring the name Jesus as Savior and you will get ran out of town.

>>773924

The thing is that I'm not a Prot and I don't like Hillsong as a Church but you can't deny their songs are very beautiful and moving. I gladly listen to their music because it keeps Christ and his love for me at the front of my mind. I don't really see how people here get off on dumping on it especially when you know 90% of the posters here still watch anime and other shit and are hardly monks living an ascetic life anyway.
