I have read many things and talked to people about this very subject.
People that have said that Rock music is the devil, say that because of their assumption. I personally have never read anything about rock music being the devil in the Bible. Some rock bands have claimed they are devils advocates and other things. But realize this, people will do almost anything to get media exposure regardless.
So basically you have a minority of Rock bands in the history of music that have said anything about being the devil or ending Christianity.
Marlyn Manson once said, "Hopefully, I’ll be remembered as the person who brought an end to Christianity.".
So from quotes like that from a minority of bands, people and Christian believers alike call Rock music the devil.
I call that being closed minded.
Thats like people assuming because a few preachers rape a kid, that all preachers are like that, which is completely false. Which is also a close minded way of thinking if you think that.
Not all rock music calls for rebellion, Barely any music does.
Then Christians who think that a Christian Rock or a Contemporary Christian Rock bands are a form of the devil using Gods name and the Bibles language, as "the beautiful side of evil"
Is to me, making another excuse of not being able to accept what is honest and clear.
Some Christians will talk down to Christian bands that write songs about their lives and situations, not always just speaking of the teachings of Christianity directly. The bible to me is not completely clearly written, its vague in some parts, which is where interpretation comes, which is why there are different beliefs within Christianity. Who is to say who is right or wrong? Not you, not me. I feel that the more we connect with each other, doing good, spreading the word of Christianity, but not being in peoples faces trying to make them believe your way. God moves in many ways, through anything, even music, even music that doesn't "worship" God directly though direct lyrics.
There is nothing wrong with Christian Music or Contemporary Christian music. Regardless of material, Worship music is Worship, Christian Rock/Alternative/Contemporary music can be about many thing that connect us all, but all in all we are Gods people.
Again this is my opinion.
I will write another part to this soon.
Thanks

This is so true! I have seen some people be helped by music that others called satans music. I feel as if all music has a way to reach others and that you can't say one is satans music if you do't know or understand it. That is what alot of people who are closed minded or just plain don't understand the music will say. If they would take time to listen and hear the lyrics they might just be surprised.
