THIS DUDE IS CRAZY....

It is a good argument. "Are Musicians allowed to be Religious?" Many have tried and made the argument (See: Music being banned in Muslim countries, despite the Quran issuing no such order.) Others have failed.
IMO, this sounds like playing favorites and abusing the scriptures. Creed and R&B Singers, etc., are allowed to be Christians, yet, Rappers are not. It is a double standard. One raps about crimes/sin, therefore, one must necessarily commit crimes/sin in real life and their raps must only seek to glofify such behavior---it being `impossible' to simply explain or ridicule it.
This sounds exactly like something an Atheist would do, pointing to scriptures and religion just to piss people off, purposely disregarding the larger argument and using the flawed interpretaton to separate a Christian from a rapper they believe to be Christian, by saying the one cannot be a Christian because of his job, and that the other is, damn near, putting his own Christianity in the crosshairs by continuing to support such a Non-Christian.
I'm with the other guy.

6 months to a year ago I would join that thread and rip that idiot to shreds. However i really have no desire to do so anymore. Been there, done that. Same worthless arguments that have been shitted on countless times before. Using the bible to prove the bible does not work, so sorry.
And as far as not glorying Jesus with your music…who gives a shit? Music is their profession and its entertainment. No one (or not many) wants to hear gospel rap. Besides, 99.9% of christians are hypocrites anyway.

"The Christian/Gospel music sector is one of the fastest growing in the music industry. According to Nielsen SoundScan, Christian/Gospel music is the sixth most popular music category in overall music sales, with 43.4 million units sold in 2004. The Recording Industry Association of America reports that Christian/Gospel music is nearly a $1 billion dollar industry, outselling Latin, Jazz and Classical music combined (Nielsen SoundScan data)."
So worldwide, this could easily top multiple billions, though I'm not sure I'd be able to contain myself hearing, say, a Japenese group singing about their love for Jesus.

This is correct. There of course is the unnecessary swipe at the end, but what would you expect.

I think it speaks volumes...
2-0 when i first came to this site i was still practicing my christian beliefs..so im sure in the past 4-5 yrs i have been on this site...we have debated on this subject. Although, Today i can sit here and tell you now that i am not Christian. I dont believe in any form of organized religion that dictates your living.
I answer your question with this..
Jesus (God) whoever.....put it very simple.."YOU CAN EITHER BE HOT OR COLD. IF YOUR LUKE WARM I WILL SPEW(vomit) YOU FROM MY MOUTH"
he leaves not room for you to go the other way....or partake in "worldly" things....such as Gangsta Rap.
