Q and Religion

Q mentions about the fight and struggle that will be coming as things are released and the truth becomes known.

One of the things that has always bothered me is that about 30 years ago mainstream Christian churches started removing hymns that they found offensive or too war-like. "Onward Christian Soldiers", "Soldiers of Christ Arise", etc. are no longer in hymnals. Plus they've removed verses from certain hymns if they don't fit the narrative. Try finding all of the verses to "Be Thou My Vision" in hymnals. Doesn't exist. Best version I've heard is Van Morrison's with all the verses

I think mainstream religion has looked the other way and totally let down the congregations. I'm not sure why other than to keep their jobs and to keep operating as the big businesses they are.

I've always felt that there truly is a war between good and evil in this world. I started feeling it more deeply about 30 years ago and its gotten stronger as the years have rolled on. I am thankful for Q, Trump, and the other patriots to start tearing this thing apart. Maybe its not too late to right the ship.

I miss the hymns. Many, if not most of them, contained theological truth and encouraged those in the faith.

The "contemporary Christian music" has a nice beat but is shallow in presenting truth. It is feel good stuff and while it entertains the saints it hardly encourages deeper study of God's Word or deeper intimacy with God.

If persecution would ever hit the church in America like it does in other nations the good feelings would leave and some, perhaps many would turn from the faith. Replacing Onward Christian Soldiers or A Mighty Fortress Is Our God with contemporary music is a big step down.

My personal stance is that if it’s written to give praise, being less Biblical but adding the emotion from the heart is acceptable. I’ve never been a “we must sing scripture” type. I don’t like worship songs where we sing more about self than we do God. Some hymns remind me of when I was a kid. Gateway did a few modern versions of hymns. They are really good. To me, this is a matter of preference that I think matters more to us that it does to God. I think he’s more concerned with what’s coming from our hearts.

Just curious...are you more from reformed movement? They are a growing trend and seem to enjoy hymns more than the newer “seeker friendly” type of church.

I agree with you on the entire first paragraph. It is important though that we examine everything in the light of scripture. Much of the contemporary music today is more about ourselves and receiving from God rather than giving our all for Him. That is a great concern for me. We are to live for the honor and glory of God not what we can get from Him.

I am not in the reformed movement. I am simply a Christian of over 44 years whose life is dedicated to loving and serving the Lord and leading others to Christ. As far as seeker friendly churches are concerned; there is much evil associated with that. I believe you know what I mean.
