Do all musical roads
lead to heaven?
Contrary
to popular thought, the essential nature and value of different musics is not
always the same. The Christen musician
who unwittingly believes that one can squeeze the music of Satan's matrix into
efficacious worship of a holy God is mistaken.
Although two different musics will both have purpose and will effect the
performer and the auditor, the nature and value each is not always synonymous
since each may be driven by a different purpose. Any
praxial view of that supposes that "all musical roads lead to heaven"
is faulty. Remember that when it comes
to philosophic musical praxis, direction determines destiny. All musical trees do not yield the same
understanding or, so to speak, the same musical fruit.
To suppose that
music that has been influenced by Satan and that ipso facto derives its significance
and value from his influence is valuable to worship God is a faulty view. Such a view essentially equates
"good" value to a music that has been perverted by Satan. There is no "good" that comes from
any part of Satan's perverted praxis.
Furthermore, there is no spiritual "good" or spiritual
understanding to be derived from music that has been influenced by Satan. One exception is a text that is quoted from
the Bible or is clearly biblical.
However, one must also take into consideration the music part of this
music. To suppose that Christian
musicians can squeeze "good" out of the result of trying to retask
the music part of this music is to suppose that good may be derived from Satan's
influence.
