St Matt...how can a style of music contain spirits?
Please explain that to me.
Keep in mind that other styles of music have been condemned in the past as "the devil's music", only to become accepted over time in Christian circles.
For example , Jazz was preached against as the devil's music in the early 1900's. Now there's Christian Jazz, and hardly anyone blinks an eye at that. It's now widely accepted as simply another musical form, once that can be used to glorify God.
There's Christian salsa, Christian reggae, Christian soca, Christian rock, and other musical styles that have been used to glorify God across a variety of cultures.
What scripture would one use to say that certain musical styles are inherently ungodly?
