It is refreshing to still have holiness preachers and teachers in this land on unholiness. I took a peek at templeofhiphop.org and it states if you want info to write to them. Intersting that their poisionous doctrine is not listed on their own site. That is very telling.<br /><br /><br />Blessing, Eld.

I've been doing fine and hope u r too...You asked:<BR/><BR/><I>"I was just wondering how you came to the conclusion that Hip Hop has an agenda. Do you mean Hip Hop itself or the people in Hip Hop?</I><BR/><BR/>That's a good question. I'll answer by stating that I believe that hip-hop and its "promoters" cannot be seperated. ie: hip-hop only exists because it's being promoted by the individuals within it. The individuals could exist without hip-hop, but not the other way around...<BR/><BR/>I would say that based on those thoughts that it would be correct to say that "hip-hop has an agenda" as hip-hop only moves in response to those who have promoted and defined it. <BR/><BR/>Those in the industry have defined it in every aspect and individuals who try to redefine it are not considered to be "true" to hip-hop. For example, hip-hop has its own religion (ie: Temple Of hip-hop ~ One can say that's only a radical element but yet it lays claim to hip-hop and is respected among hip-hoppas for doing so)There are statements of faith, (aka street knowledge) political agenda, and social methods and methodology. <BR/><BR/>To deny this and place everything on "music only" is to deny the many statements by hip-hop promoters who currently claim that <I>"hip hop is not just the music, it's a lifestyle"</I> ~ KRS ONE.<BR/><BR/>Thanks and that's a good question for additional consideration and I'm sure there's other good people who have a varying opinion. If they are reading I would like to hear a layout of their argument so I could consider it. <BR/><BR/>By the way, I've got some additional articles coming soon on Christian apologetics and various types of things so, thanks for reading and I hope they're a blessing to you.<BR/><BR/>Blessed.District Supt.

This is such an ungodly cult being pumped in many hip hop songs and parents need to be aware of this. I like how you outlined there beliefs.<BR/><BR/>I was just wondering how you came to the conclusion that Hip Hop has an agenda. Do you mean Hip Hop itself or the people in Hip Hop? <BR/><BR/>Don't get me wrong I am not trying to nullify the damage that many Hip Hop artist are causing to our youth.

I'll be honest; because i was born in the 80's and came up in the 90's i was a huge hip hop head! Spiritual growth has allowed me to see how rap as an entity is detrimental to the black community but society as a whole. What I'm interested in gettin to is the aspect of Christian Hip Hop as it relates to the church. I am not and am pretty sure I will never really be a fan of christian hip hop but since i've moved to charlotte i see its really popular here with the young christians. Matter of fact I got to church woth some guys i know personally are truly on fire for the Lord but are christian rap artist that have done several recordings themselves? I know I may be getting ahead of you Pastor but I'm anxious to get to that. I would have them check this out but I really think they'd be offended by the series since they themselves are artists!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-19512324067535558452009-01-08T10:43:00.000-06:002009-01-08T10:43:00.000-06:00Thank God for all of the men sent by God that know...Thank God for all of the men sent by God that know the truth and will not compromise,men like you,G.craige and others that are stedfast,, unmoveable, always abounding in the word,work, and Spirit of God.These are days of overwhelming deception, many have little or no spiritual perception nor discernment,they are decieved,ignorant, blind and so willing to fight the truth.Hip-Hop is one of the many Satanic sources of deception working today and many calling themselves Christians [preachers included]are subject to these deceptions and will attempt to discredit and destroy those that are in the truth,of the truth,know the truth and have the truth in them.Keep telling the truth,those of us that know the truth are with you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-90270579833159094862009-01-07T20:03:00.000-06:002009-01-07T20:03:00.000-06:00I have a few of the dvds that Ex Ministries has pr...I have a few of the dvds that Ex Ministries has produced about this subject, and they are awesome.

I agree and appreciate the laundry list of wh...WOW! I agree and appreciate the laundry list of why the church and church folk (Christians) should be against hip-hop music. However, what the church is doing is taking that unclean thing and trying to make it clean. For example, hip-hop= holy hip-hop (I hate the mention of that title). Gospel rapper is another one. Surely, the Lord is not pleased with this whatsoever. Mind you, I'm in the age group that grew up on hip-hop, however, when the Lord saved me, he delivered me from the world. I didn't grow up in the church, only across the street from the church. I never would have imagined that what I got delivered from, would one day meet me in the place where my salvation and deliverance took place. Talk about crazy! I know too many Christians who are so tangled with the world and its system, that they believe that its okay to listen to rap, hip-hop, and any other secular music. How is GOD glorified and highly lifted up in this music? Oh, because they say GOD, maybe an occassional Jesus that makes it Holy. Come on people, give me a break. I was watching this so-called gospel station on tv this weekend. This young man goes by the name of Rebel, who happens to be a Christian rapper (wink, wink). He's connected to that group that say that they are rapping about Christ but still sleep with hi-hop. Anyhoo... So, here I am 37 years old watching this as I'm amazed at how people allow their children to follow someone who calls themselves a rebel, plus his pants had skeletons on them. Talk about demonic. Everything he did or said emulated the hip-hop/rap culture. The dances he did. His mannerism. I'm so turned off by the church and its inclusion of this mess in the body of Christ that I often wonder, where are the real leaders?<BR/><BR/>Lastly, I tell people all of time, go to a person who serves a false god or a dead god and you will see how true and real they are about their beliefs. They will not add (the world belief system) one thing about Buddha, Allah, or any other false deity. If you want to join these cults, guess what, you will follow the rules without wavering. You ask three muslims about Allah and they will tell you the same thing. You ask three Christians about the Bible, you will get three different answers. Why? Don't we serve the true and living GOD? How were the people in the OT able to live Holy when they didn't have the Holy Spirit in them (the Holy Spirit only came upon them to do a work), but we do (those who have it) but we can't say no to anything except Biblical principles. Lord help us!<BR/><BR/>Intercessorintercessorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18152485911077536712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-19608636876508632132009-01-04T14:16:00.000-06:002009-01-04T14:16:00.000-06:00Hello there!!This is interesting....I haven't seen...Hello there!!<BR/><BR/>This is interesting....<BR/><BR/>I haven't seen any blogs presenting it this way.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for putting the time in to present this!<BR/><BR/>Peace, blessings and DUNAMIS!<BR/>LisaLISA VAZQUEZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13583559303233985031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2357475346759651140.post-3230126110705877112009-01-03T23:46:00.000-06:002009-01-03T23:46:00.000-06:00EnochWalked,Your assessments are right on point. U...EnochWalked,<BR/><BR/>Your assessments are right on point. Unlike it's predasessor, soul music and rhythm and blues, this music has been anointed into a strong brand of resurgent egyptology and mysticism. That's the danger. One thinks, "ooh, I just like the beats" and they without their knowledge also get the "spirit" that goes along with it. <BR/><BR/>I have seen and talked to more people who have confessed that this music, when listened to as we sometimes had a history of doing, (loud and bangin') get in a totally different state of mind. Combine that with the urging of other individuals to "do wrong" it's a no win situation for many of our youth. <BR/><BR/>Studies have even proven that music has an effect on psychology. There are alpha states that occur during music presentations which open the mind for suggestion and when this garbage is played all kinds of things filter into the mind right along with it.<BR/><BR/>Now the problem is that the church believes that this music style can be redeemed. The facts are that hip-hop has made a conscious decision and DOES NOT want redemption. Unntil it's tenents, goals and ultimate purpose changes, the church is silly to think that we can redeem it. That's why we got these so called "gangsta rappers" and others who live raggedy lives, fight at the awards ceremonies sometimes worse than the secular hip-hop artists. <BR/><BR/>Yep, that's right...gospel folk gettin' in fights at awards ceremonies...what were they? Christian hip-hop artists...TOTAL shame.<BR/><BR/>I finally got that CD too. I'll send it out Monday. Thank God(LOL)<BR/><BR/>God bless.District Supt.

T...Praise the LORD!<BR/><BR/>Pastor Burnett,<BR/>Awesome research! To GOD be all the glory! Hip-Hop was one of the idols/habits that GOD delivered me from that I vividly remember before my total conversion in the winter of 1996. All of a sudden I lost the "taste and desire" of Hip Hop. GOD took the desire away from me. I will never forget that my love for this music suddenly and without my asking...DIED! I never bought another Hip-Hop CD after that ever again(1996). It was the next winter that GOD divinely met me and called me out of darkness into HIS marvelous light! This musis, Hip-Hop is definitely anti-christ and a music of death! <BR/><BR/>I want to ask your permission before I comment any further. The SPIRIT has given me insights on Exodus 32 that applies to Hip-Hop being the equivalent of the "molten calf" of Exodus 32:4. The black churches that want Hip-Hop to appeal to the youth do not realize that they are following other gods. So as a prophetic confirmation to your assessment on the spiritual source is Egypt! The Black American experience from slavery to jim crowe to civil rights to present has been religiously and historically portrayed as similar to the Israelites bondage and deliverance from Egypt. Just as the Israelites turned their backs on GOD(apostasy), so has the majority of black America and the black church included. We have always been a spiritual people but now the majority of us and even in the black church are following the WRONG spirit, not the HOLY SPIRIT! <BR/><BR/>I have so much more to say, but I will email this directly to you for your review.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
