A literal gay hippie has made some Christian music orders of magnitudes more intimately inspired...

>a literal gay hippie has made some Christian music orders of magnitudes more intimately inspired, spiritually profound and graciously beautiful than all other explicitly Christian-labelled non-classical music combined
How is this possible??

Because explicitly labeled Christian music is garbage by design and is usually soppy pop music with an additional label. Completely different when it's a theme within music that's actually good like with Stevens, or David Eugene Edwards's projects, or Lift to Experience

Bump

but now you've made a false idle, that's why.

>it's bad on purpose, God edition
yeah no, nice try Yahweh

>a literal gay
He is?

Christianity is the original hippy religion and it's based.
The Bible doesn't say anything about gay people, that's a mistranslation.
It doesn't really take stances on most politics, it primarily aims to push for peace, hope, love, and all the other feel-good stuff.
American Christianity is just a diet version of the radicalism you see from Muslims in parts of Europe or most of the Middle East.

>Because explicitly labeled Christian music is garbage by design
Wrong.

Hillsong crap is rubbish, but not all Christian music is like that. Plenty of "secular" artists make great Christian music even if isn't explicitly labelled as such. Daniel Lanois' The Maker for example is a masterpiece

you evidently haven't spent much time exploring christian music. and gay hippies making great christian music isn't new, that's been going on since the 60s.

No, it's just kike gaslighting

>The Bible doesn't say anything about gay people, that's a mistranslation.
Leviticus says it is abomination for man to lie with man. Pretty clear.
>feel-good stuff.
A lot of people don't feel good about having to move away from their carnal ways.

Very blatantly now if you follow his newer music and blog but back then this was at the very least not known at all. He was a very private guy until Carrie and Lowell came out though. He's not even really particularly Christian anymore, he talks about it on his newest dogshit album.

>Leviticus
The old testament says a massive amount of retarded shit that only really applies to the time and context it was in.

he used to be this really underground guy who wore weird sweaters and did shows on europe even though he wasnt famous

hes obviously sold out so its no wonder he isnt "religious" anymore

That's the mistranslation I referenced. In older versions of the Bible closer to the original language it was written in, it states that man shall not lie with boy, referring to a child.
>A lot of people don't feel good about having to move away from their carnal ways.
Right, but the more important goodness is achieved through restriction of carnal desires.

not an argument, Christians still take it very seriously

They absolutely don't unless it benefits them. There are massive portions of the old testament that christians flat out ignore.

You're not thinking about this in enough dimensions (even though I disagree with your case, I'll indulge you). God them Eve for Adam, using his rib, as a companion to Adam who God saw as alone. They became a family to many children. Jesus Christ later stated that a man should only take one wife, and can only divorce if there's adultery. Also, the Bible makes it clear that fornication is against the will of God, yet the "marriage bed is undefiled." Now, where in the midst of all this information do we get an allowance for sodomy?

Christ hates sins, not sinners.
Nobody is expected to be perfect.
Live your life the way you feel is true to the gospel and the kingdom of heaven is yours.
Christ would not teach you to discriminate against others for their sexual orientation, or their race, or their identity.
When Christ was alive, Eunuchs were considered normal - culture and society changes, the roles people take change. Who are you to judge people right here, right now, who aren't hurting anyone?
Love everyone.

>There are massive portions of the old testament that christians flat out ignore.
This is simply untrue, they just compare it to the New Testament. Much of the old covenant has been done away with because of the words of Jesus. Homosexuality, however, was never ok'd by our Lord and Savior.

>idle
You've definitely not made an idol out of education ayyy
No, he's just got very, very, VERY, close male friends. What do you think, have you ever even looked at his lyrics fren
I specifically said non-Classical, with "classical" here serving as an umbrella term.
Hilldawg spit some fire bars back in '16 though, that sure wasn't rubbish lmao
Imagine being this delusional and purposely blind.
Pretty sure it said it's an Abomasnow.
>newest dogshit album
Huh? If anything A Beginner's Mind is unironically one of the best albums ever made.
But think of the shrimps and mixing different kind of cloths! You're not thinking you'll get away with those unspeakable crimes, aren't you??
>he isnt "religious" anymore
Provide citation. Here and now.

The Bible was written by man to reflect events carried out by God.
It is not perfect, and whether we want to admit it or not, contains contradictions.
Does this mean the Bible as a whole is useless? Far from it. What we need to do is use it as a lodestar for what Christ's intentions were when these events unfolded.
There is no specific condemnation of gays. Christ spoke of unfettered sex and lust - was he doing this to condemn the action itself, or the consequences of pursuing hedonism over spiritual enrichment?
People may have their interpretations, but condemning the gays using this scripture is fantastical. Love everyone. You have no room to judge, no one does, only God.

>Imagine being this delusional and purposely blind.
I've actually paid attention. There is no evidence of him being a homo, maybe some possibly suggestive situations, and if he is a homo, he needs to repent.

>Huh? If anything A Beginner's Mind is unironically one of the best albums ever made.

I meant The Ascension. Beginners Mind is ok but absolutely horrible compared to older albums it's trying to imitate. His lyricism is just bad now, and his song writing is really dull and predictable and repetitive at this point. For most of his career, almost every single release he had was new and interesting and he lost that after 2015 (debatably 2012 because planetarium was pretty redundant as well). He was always cheesy but in a lovable sort of way. He's so cheesy now I can't stand listening more than 1 time through on anything new he makes. It's just fucking stupid rather than being charming.

Except his vague gay posting on his blog and social media accounts and the extremely gay The Owl and the Tanager. I'm with you in that his fan base is fucking stupid and make everything about being a fag even though most of it isn't. But there are strong signs regardless.
