What is wrong with those people who listen to music?

What is wrong with [...]

No.

 

[sovietchild]

Nope. I have to go to Mass on Sundays and there's always music at Mass. Sunday Mass is an obligation for Catholics.

Anyway, this is just yet another stupid thread.

I wonder whats with the Christians and music. I wonder if it came from Roman pagans. You know...dancing around the idol.

 

[sovietchild]

I sometimes don't listen to music for months. I don't think there's much difference there.

It has to be. Action reaction.

Practice meditation, action without reaction.

No, it came from the Jews worshiping God with songs of praise. Nothing to do with any sort of paganism.

"Knowledge of the biblical period is mostly from literary references in the Bible and post-biblical sources. Religion and music historian Herbert Lockyer, Jr. writes that "music, both vocal and instrumental, was well cultivated among the Hebrews, the New Testament Christians, and the Christian church through the centuries."[1] He adds that "a look at the Old Testament reveals how God's ancient people were devoted to the study and practice of music, which holds a unique place in the historical and prophetic books, as well as the Psalter."

The music of religious ritual was first used by King David, and, according to the Larousse Encyclopedia of Music, he is credited with confirming the men of the Tribe of Levi as the "custodians of the music of the divine service."[2]Historian Irene Hesk notes that of the twenty-four books of the Old Testament, the 150 Psalms in the Book of Psalmsascribed to King David, have served as "the bedrock of Judeo-Christian hymnology," concluding that "no other poetry has been set to music more often in Western civilization."[3]"

Hmm no...it has to be Roman pagans.

What is the difference between Catholics and Roman pagans? They danced around the idol then, they dance around the idol now.

Hey, David played and it pleased the Lord!

Everyone knows that. Hallelujah!

They build statues then, they build statues now. Right?

The Jews sang, and still sing, songs praising G-d.

Read the book of Psalms. It's a book of songs written by David and others.

Seriously, how are you this ignorant?

 

[Falvlun]

Because I think @sovietchild needs this:

But you don't really care for music, do you?

 

[sovietchild]

But you don't really care for music, do you?

Its a distraction. Right?

My co-workers listen to music at work. Would you like to know what kind of mistakes they make?

Music is a lot of things, depending on the person, the type of music, the effect of the music on the person, the interaction between the person and music, the purpose for the music, and a bunch of other factors besides.

 

[RabbiO]

Obviously the OP puts in the time, hard work, and dedication necessary to achieve that end.

No doubt to keep from eating excessively.

Would you like to know their weight size? In terms of BMI.

I'm really trying hard not to cuss you the **** out.

Why? When you go American church you will see a stage, man on the cross and musicians singing songs.

What does that have to do with your abject stupidity making me want to go off on you?

By the way, at Catholic parishes, we don't have "stages", we have altars, cantors, choirs and organists.

You will find this at pretty much ALL CATHOLIC CHURCHES. Period. Orthodox Catholic and Roman Catholic and Eastern Rite Catholic and most Protestant Churches too.

Please can you tell me, us, what your problem is with understanding anything that people say to you?
