Thanks for your contributions to the convo. You asked whether we consider it wrong for any so called gospel artists use the same song as secular music and try and make it about Jesus by changing the words or for a so called gospel song to have a secular break of music. Honestly, between DJ Kindeezil and myself, you'll get a difference of opinion on that topic, and I'm sure you would get similar differences of opinion if you polled more people. What we do agree on is that it's wrong to do anything whereby a brother is caused to stumble or is made weak. Romans 14. I personally disagree with using secular beats for Jesus music, especially popular secular beats, specifically for the reason you said - I don't want to be responsible for causing someone's mind to go back to sinful music. I can assure you that here at Eternal Life Music we won't be taking popular sinful songs and changing the words. Really there's no need for that. God supplies all of our needs according to His riches in glory. I'm sure there are numerous other Christian artists who have taken the same stand. Beyond that I would just say be careful making such condemning generalizations. To say "the majority of those people who listen to holy hip hop/christian rap never truly get saved but put on an act," presupposes that you're familiar with, and actually know, the eternal state of the majority all of the people who listen to Christian rap. "Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand." Romans 14:3-4. I personally know many a Spirit filled believer who listens to Christian Rap on occasion. They dig the style of music, and as a way of honoring the Lord, they substitute Christian rap for worldly rap. You may turn from rap altogether in your own effort to honor God. The point is that in either case, the heart is the same - honoring Christ! Trust me, the Kingdom of God is not about weather you listen to Christian rap any more than it is about meat or drink. It's about "righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost." Romans 14:17. God bless you too bro! Yo brother Chris! Thanks for your contributions to the convo.

Christian rap is no different than Holy Hip Hop. When "Holy Hip Hop" artists or any so called gospel artists use the same song as secular music and just try and make it about Jesus by changing the words or a so called gospel song has a secular break of music(this is becoming so popular), considering those that put away secular music but at 1 point it had a stronghold on them, do you consider that wrong? I feel that is the devil trying to steal God's glory because when that happens your mind goes back to the music of the world. 1 John 2:15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. And unfortunately for the black community or anyone who listens to holy hip hop/christian rap, these acts are common among this industry. I personally had put off secular music through Jesus Christ back in '09, but found myself listen to Holy Hip Hop for a few months before that. Suddenly I found myself going back to secular music after listening to holy hip hop for just a few months. Nothing about Holy Hip Hop is telling you to kill the demon(spirit) that Hip Hop put in you, but to nurse the spirit and pacify it.(personal experience) It doesn't matter that the message is supposedly about Jesus to most people when they hear hip hop it's hip hop. So I get that it may be ministering to some and that's great but because the majority of those people who listen to holy hip hop/christian rap never truly get saved but put on an act. Proof is in their lifestyle. Their ipods is full of everything. If you all are preaching the word and saving souls that's great but the vast majority don't get the message of change because there's not much difference between Holy hip hop and hip hop. Clothing, slang, style, swagger, etc. As you stated man sees outward but God sees the heart. Eph 4:17 This I say therefore, and testify in the LORD, that ye henceforth walk not as other gentiles walk, in the vanity of their mind. 27 Neither give place to the devil. There's more to Christ than music. It's a relationship. God bless. I could be wrong. Christian rap is no different than Holy Hip Hop.

I saw the dvd i have not seen the whole set but i am failiar with them. I must say that i did not recall Mr. Lewis coming against Chritian rap but i do recall him talking about Hip-Hop being made into a religion. I personally LOVE christian rap along with contemporary, country and all other genres of christian music and understand that it in itself is a tool for spreading the gospel and also praise to God. I know the word states that "He who wins souls is wise" the spirit of Religion has caused alot of damage to the body of christ with man-made do's and dont's. I say keep spreading the Good News thru the words u speak whether it is sung in a melody or spoken on top of a melody as long as the word is being brought forth u are doing the work of the ministry.
