Unifying Knowledge –part
5
Since
they believe, like Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), that music is a part of nature
it is not under the Lordship of Christ.
These synthesis thinkers are not responsible to Christ for their actions
concerning the style of music they perform in church. Therefore, they certainly are not responsible
to give anyone an answer concerning the style of music they sing or play. Remember that these autonomous Christian
musicians are free to proceed on a musical course completely independent of
Scripture, theology, suitability, appropriateness and certainly any rules set
forth by any church, Christian school, Bible College, or any church musician.
No one is allowed to criticize,
scrutinize or question anything that these liberated Christian musicians do
musically. As a matter of fact their
actions are a result of a non-rational, non-logical faith in Christ that brings
them to non-rational, non-logical conclusions that are non-discussible. There is no room for discussion when it comes
to THEIR music since it is THEIR offering that may be presented to THEIR God
and the helpless audience has to put up with it because “that’s just how things
are”, in this present world.
Thought for the Day
As I have said
so many times, Christian musicians should get rid of the sense of musical
ownership. You are not the boss of music
if you do not own it.
