Members Ancient Mariner Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 I have some sympathy about wanting to not be like a conventional church, but mixed feelings about embracing the darker side of metal. Death and misery are things that a real faith in Jesus would be setting people free from, rather than encouraging them toward. Having said that, this IS a BBC news article, and may not be exactly presenting an accurate representation of what they're doing in order to create a bit more 'newsworthiness'. I've been happy to use Vs and my Washburn A20 in church, and no-one ever seemed to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's Dogma Free, and seemingly discrimintaes against no one.....Whole Lotta Jesus Goin On Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members warriorpoet Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 Reminds me of these guys: http://www.scumoftheearth.net/SOTEC/Welcome.html Phil 1:15-18 15 Some indeed preach Christ from envy and rivalry, but others from good will. 16 The latter do it out of love, knowing that I am put here for the defense of the gospel. 17 The former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition, not sincerely but thinking to afflict me in my imprisonment. 18 What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed, and in that I rejoice. / wp's morning office theology FWIW, as a young wanderer, I would have been totally into this. It's a revelation to have hope preached in your language, even if that language is hopelessness. Sometimes life's path takes us through dark woods.

Members kayd_mon Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 If religions didn't market themselves according to the times and to the people in their area, they would never grow. Just seems logical to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members billybilly Posted February 15, 2013 Members Share Posted February 15, 2013 Religion is for people who are afraid to die or walk alone, if you can let go of this fear, you are truly on your way to becoming a spiritual being. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
