Unifying Knowledge –part 3


 Unifying Knowledge –part 3
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, music appropriate for worship, or music which is not appropriate for worship.  The philosophical notion that all styles are equal gave rise to the belief that the musical answer must always be somewhere between truth and error.  As this synthesis philosophical thinking began to develop these musicians became full-ledged pluralists.
Now in the twenty-first century, somewhere between music that is best suited to fit the awesomeness and solemnity of public worship of the high and holy Trinity and music that is not suited for Christian worship are styles of music that are now inappropriately appropriate.  Since the answer must be a synthesis answer, the answer must be taking music that was created to fulfill the lust of the flesh and squeezing this music into a worship mode.  To accomplish this, synthesis thinking Christian musicians have to find  styles of music that are basically created anti-Christ, anti-worship (of God), anti-trust, anti-purity, anti-beauty, anti-rest, anti-authority, anti-family, and amalgamate it with the gospel message and when this is accomplished, “presto-chango” they have the perfect worship style.

Thought for the Day
One way that you can get your way musically is  to claim that there is no such thing as difference between the sacred and the profane as long as you have squeaky clean lyrics
