Why do Christianity think rock n roll is the Devil’s music?

Posted on February 28th, 2010 by admin in rock music | 19 Comments »

I’m just asking because in the early days of rock n roll, the Christians were saying that rock music
is the Devil’s music.

…because it was very expressive and christians hate freedom of expression.

    A few years ago, when I still went to church, I was told to stop listening to Iron Maiden because it was "satanising me".

    Only very extreme people said that.

    There is some truth in the fact that many rock bands did promote poor lifestyle choices.

    I only think the sex and drugs are immoral, not the guitar.

    They might have said it’s the Devil’s music because John Lennon (rest his soul) led millions into a rebellion against Christianity.

    Some people still say that but I disagree. I think it’s silly for a type of music to be evil. I think God likes all types of music if it’s used for His glory.

    If you listen to the lyrics of many of the songs they advocate Lust , murder, hatred, sex out side of marriage ect….All of the sins we are admonished by God to avoid ! How could they be considered anything else.

    Christianity feels that rock music glorifies things that are sinful and evil. Premarital sex, not treating your body like a temple, and all that good stuff. These "sins" are supposedly a favorite of the devils and therefore the music that embraces it, embraces him as well.

    I haven’t heard this idea since I watched Dirty Dancing. The most important part of this question is the implication that people believe in the devil. The Devil! HILARIOUS!
