Unifying Knowledge –part 5


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.
