Are There Any Absolutes?—part

Before
Hegelian synthesis thought, the Scripture in I John 2:15, “Love not the world”,
meant just that, don’t love the world or become controlled by the system of
“this present age”. After acceptance of
Hegelian synthesis thought, it became acceptable to be a worldly Christian. Those who accepted this viewpoint no longer
believed the Bible when it said that if you loved the world, the love of the
father was not in you. Under this
autonomous philosophy you could love the world and the Lord at the same
time. So, the synthesis thinking church
musicians, who were in many instances, graduates of Christian colleges and
seminaries began to think that if it was okay to love the world system then it
was okay to love the world’s music.
Philosophically they believed that the answer could no more be based on
good music and bad music, God’s music and the Satan’s music, or in appropriate
or inappropriate music. They believed
that all styles were equal and that the musical answer must be somewhere
between truth and error.
Thought
for the Day.
One of the ways that Christian musicians are swept into
philosophical error is by believing that it is not possible to develop a Bible
based music philosophy.
