Yes, the Bible says to NOT let any corruptable word to come out of your mouth.\nProverbs 15:26 says that God delights in pure words.\nProverbs 15:28 says \nThe godly think before speaking\nProverbs 10:32 says\nThe godly speak words that are helpful, but the wicked speak only what is corrupt. \nThe whole book of Proverbs and other books like the Epistles talk about what we says with our words and what comes out of our mouth.\nTry reading James 3 about controlling the tongue. Make that a confession for you, Oh and one of the Ten Commandments is not to use the Lord God's name in vain. (That use to be a habit with me but I rarely do it anymore), and if I accidently do it, I repent.\nDid that help?

I used BibleGateway.com and did a Keyword search for "music" - I got 106 hits from the entire Bible (New International Version), some of which named more than one instrument.  For example, 1 Chronicles 15:16 names lyres, harps and cymbals.\n\nIt might be useful for you to play around with.

Psalm 19:1-4 (NKJV)  \n    The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork.   Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language  Where their voice is not heard.  Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world.\n\nRomans 1:20 (NKJV)  \n    For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,

Titus 2:5-6 says... \n\n 1Ti 2:5 For [there is] one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;\n\n 1Ti 2:6 Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.\n\nwhat this is saying in God's word is for us to talk to God we need not go through a priest or any of the saints, we can simply talk to Jesus\n \nalso in the bible in the 10 commandments it says that we are not to worship graven images.... Idol worship is clearly wrong.... Praying to Mary or any of the other saints is clearly a type of worship\n\n*very well put doowapper!

There is no law requiring you to sing or not sing a song.  You don't say where your chorus teacher is... are you in high school?  Your parents can write a note about your religious qualms with the song and get you excused from singing or lip-synching it.

The issue about music is a couple of days sermon on its own so im gonna try and condense it into a few words. please bear with me.Music is not just music. its about the spirit behind music.Whatever music u listen to the spirit of the person where the music originated from follows the music wherever it goes(see Davids example from the Bible 1 Samuel 16: the spirit departed from Saul because David had the Spirit of God within him which he played through the harp into Saul causing the evil spirit in Saul to leave since darkness and light cannot mix).So listening to music can open u up to spirit(s) that it is carrying.\n Also music is a form of worship to God and we all know how the devil tries to copy or at least pervert everything God does because the devil wants to be God. The devil was originally an angel of music til pride set in and then he was kicked out of heaven.(a word of advice stay away from pride dont praise yourself coz once u do u tend to lose focus on the fact that God gave u ALL you are) The devil didnt lose the gifts or talents he was created with so he uses those things to pervert  whatever he can. Now the devil knows that Christians still like entertainment and the devil intends to be worshipped whatever way he can so he cunningly infiltrated the music industry and will make you believe that anything goes as long as it has good lyrics. See i dont know where rap started from but i know half the time u cant hear what their singing anyway so they could say good stuff run thru bad stuff and youd neva know. The Bible says we should abstain from all appearance from evil(1 thessalonians 5:22).Rap appears evil- its hard to tell Christian rap from  secular rap if the two are just similar then shouldnt we stay away anyway. I definitely know about hip hop that it is a no no coz u will find that the form of music was started by people who claimed there was no God and that the black man was God. The spirit that started the music still hasnt left the music.It has just modified itself so it could appeal to more people. the devil will deceive u any way he can so dont think just because the lyrics sound right then all is well. Disclaimer i am not saying all the people writing Christian rap, hiphop, rock or whatever other kinds of music are not right i am saying the spirit behind the music isnt right.\n\n whether u know the truth or not the truth stil remains the truth. i hope this truth will set someone free. u dont have to take my word for this music thing. Go to God and ask that the Holy Spirit will tell you Himself more about this music issue.When Jesus was going to the Father after His ressurrection He promised to send us the Holy spirit to be our helper.(John 14:25-27) If u ask that He helps you , u will find that anytime whatever music is played your spirit man within will either be disturbed or be at peace. Also ask for the gift of discernment(1 Corinthians 12:9-11) that u may grow in this respect and live to please our Father in heaven. Take care y'all and may God bless you. with love. P

God has given me a voice to sing his praises. I love to sing in all different churches. I would like to sing and touch someones heart thru my singing and have the Lord Jesus Christ to come into their hearts. I would love to sing in a gigantic auditorium for everyone to listen to His praises. I know that I will get lots of flack from some people but that's okay.

It depends on the religion, and what you mean by chanting, some religions chant while others repeat what the leader says sometimes in word or song which could be considered a chant, buddhist chant, wiccans chant, christians "sing praise" but generally its a set chant like Nam-myoho-renge-kyo in a form of Buddhism, or when christians reciet the lords prayer

:}\nBible says that\nbut it also says:\nJohn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

There's no scripture to support this idea one way or another.  People are affected in different ways when in the spirit.  There was a man at my church who would run around the pews (admittedly it freaked me out a bit when he first did it) and a woman who would wail.  I think you'll find the most about the issue in Paul's stuff, but don't quote me on that.

:}\nHe has a name\nHe tells us his name in scripture.\nHe tells us not to take it in vain.\nHe tells us to pray in his name.\nHis name reveals much about his character.\nHis name is important and should not be taken lightly.\nEx 20:7  Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.\n\n\nAs for cursing, it isn't the sound your mouth that makes it sin, it's the thought or feeling in your heart.\n\nMat 15:18  But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

1 Corinthians, 13:\n\nIf I speak in human and angelic tongues, but do not have love, I am a resounding gong or a clashing cymbal.  And if I have the gift of prophecy and comprehend all mysteries and all knowledge; if I have all faith so as to move mountains but do not have love, I am nothing.  If I give away everything I own, and if I hand my body over so that I may boast but do not have love, I gain nothing.\n\nLove is patient, love is kind. It is not jealous, is not pompous, it is not inflated, it is not rude, it does not seek its own interests, it is not quick-tempered, it does not brood over injury, it does not rejoice over wrongdoing but rejoices with the truth. \n\nIt bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  Love never fails.  If there are prophecies, they will be brought to nothing; if tongues, they will cease; if knowledge, it will be brought to nothing.  For we know partially and we prophesy partially, but when the perfect comes, the partial will pass away. \n\nWhen I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.  At present we see indistinctly, as in a mirror, but then face to face.  At present I know partially; then I shall know fully, as I am fully known. \n\nSo faith, hope, love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love.

Yielding rocks! My favourite answer was this one...\n\nQuestion:\n\nIs ************ a sin? If yes, where in the Bible?\n\nYieldings Answer:\n\nThe bible says; \n\nThou shalt not ********** with a *********, for thou art a ************ if thou dost. \nLet all ye who ************ be smote with *********** for the ********** is thy ********* and therefore thy *********** will shrivel up and drop off.\nShould thou ************ with a ************ up your ***********, then the ************* shall be thy ***********, and the *********** will be like to that of the ************ on the Jerry Springer show.\n\nROFL!!!! That's just TOO funny!!!
