The Arguments

This page is to help you understand the arguments people may have against listening to the type of music that we have placed on this site. We are CD destroyers! We are constantly challenged by people that don't want to give up their music or people that just don't care enough to hear this message. You will be confronted with the same types of people. Here we have answers for their arguments. If you have an argument that we did not cover here, email us and let us know. We will address it! We are for real about what God is doing and we will not stop until God says the work is completed!
NOTE: We do not address rumors, personal issues, or personal attacks on G. Craige Lewis or EX Ministries, nor do we allow slanderous blogs, comments, or personal attacks on others, on this site. We fight the devil at EX Ministries, not people. Ephesians 6:12

G. Craige Lewis - The Messenger

 

1. ARGUMENT - I don't listen to the words, I just like the beats/music.

2. ARGUMENT - I'm not influenced by music. I can listen to it and it won't even affect me.

3. ARGUMENT - The secular artists that I listen to are Christians. Even though their lyrics are foul and they dress provocatively, they say they are Christians.

4. ARGUMENT - What is wrong with Gospel artists singing and recording with secular artists. That is a way to get the Gospel out to the sinners right?

5. ARGUMENT - What's wrong with Gospel artists getting famous, making them secular dollars and signing contracts on secular labels? After all, the wealth of the wicked is laid up for the just, right?

6. ARGUMENT - But I gotta have my music! What am I supposed to listen to? You are taking away the fun of living. Why can't we just stop being so picky about things?

7. ARGUMENT - Jesus ate with sinners and was around them all the time. That's how he reached them. Why can't these Gospel artists go to the world by recording with secular artists? What's the difference?

8. ARGUMENT - God can still use the Gospel artists even though they are recording with secular artists right?

9. ARGUMENT - If God is not working through hiphop, how come so many people are touched by the music of Holy Hip Hop groups? They claim to be ministering in the spirit and that hiphop is their median.

10. ARGUMENT - Isn't hiphop just a culture, just as we have the American culture and the African culture? Many have said that the culture itself isn't bad, it's what's portrayed by the people in the culture.

11. ARGUMENT - I heard a Holy Hip Hopper say that if Hip Hop cannot be Holy, then soccer cannot be a good sport because it originated as a form of brutal murder.  Men's heads would be kicked around in medieval times and that's where soccer originated.  So, do we not play soccer because it's origins are corrupt? Well, even though Hip Hop's origins are corrupt, can't we use it for fun like soccer now?

12. ARGUMENT- You are not suppose to call names of people out in public like that.  You are suppose to go to them in private first right? How can you do that and call yourselves Christians?

13. ARGUMENT- The bible said "Touch not my anointed", but you guys are talking against what Bishop's, pastors, and TBN is doing.  These people are God's anointed and you are in violation of the scripture.

14. ARGUMENT - Shouldn't you just pray for these artist and let God handle them?  God should be the one that deals with them right?

15. ARGUMENT - Why is the Cross Movement and DaTruth dissing you on national TV? Is there a war between the two of you?

16. ARGUMENT - We have invited you to our ministry and now we are getting letters, phone calls, and accusations from anonymous sources that are slandering both to you and EX Ministries. Who is doing this and why?

17. ARGUMENT - Why don't you have blogs, guestbooks, or comments on your site so people can chime in and voice their opinions of your message?

18. ARGUMENT - Peter saw a vision of living things that he and the Jews deemed unclean.  God said that all that he made was clean, so why can't God clean up Hip Hop and make it Holy like he did in Peter's vision?

19. ARGUMENT - Holy Hip Hoppers like the Cross Movement teach that rap cannot be divorced from Hip Hop and they are one.  They teach that you cannot have one without the other.  So, how can you make a difference between rap and hip hop?
