Yesterday we discussed whether or not all sacred and secular music is amoral(the condition of being indifferent to morality). Any musician that believes that the music part of music is amoral, does not believe that music is capable of having any referential meaning related to the real world around us. Since music itself comes under nature (i.e. music is a natural phenomenon of God's creation) and not grace (the unmerited favor of God). The result is the pseudo-religious philosophical thought that the only thing that matters about music is the words. So this notion supposes that, if one's music does not have words connected with it, the musician and his music are allowed to follow a philosophically independent pursuit. Under this philosophical fallacy nature eats up grace since musicing slips out from under the Lordship of Christ. All of instrumental music is autonomous and all the music part of vocal music is autonomous except words.
So, as has been pointed out before and will be emphasized again, under this fallacy of philosophical thought, music doesn’t matter to God. God doesn’t have anything to say about instrumental music or much if anything to say about vocal music (except words). So, the Creator of the universe doesn’t have any authority over the “natural” aspects of music. Try for just a moment to conceptualize the great I AM who thought music into existence being indifferent to style and genre. This faulty view purports that God doesn't care about the music part of music.
