Does Satan Use Music As A Way To Get To Us?

This was moved from Hubpages.

Rock and Roll

Someone mentioned somewhere that they think Rock and Roll Music is the tool of Satan to get young people to join cults and to go to the Devil and eventually to hell.

I don't think that is a true statement. They used examples such as Ozzie Osborn and him claiming that he is "The Dark Lord". Well I have to question that in itself because if one calls himself Jesus and advertises so, does that make that person really Jesus? I know a Cult Leader who does think so and that is Charles Manson.

Not all Rock and Roll lyrics are geared to "taking young souls".. I first heard of that phrase when Elvis came on the scene. Some things never change!

Do they also group all the Christian Rock and Roll Music in their prejudiced groups too. There are many of those too.

There are a few other video's below that are about Jesus and they are Rock and Roll.  Take a listen to them if you will.  If I can find the lyrics I will post them here as well for those who do not have fast Internet service or would like to just read what the song says for themselves.

Then you have the famous heater production in the 70's, Jesus Christ Superstar.  I will put some of those video's down below too for your listening pleasure. 

Not one of these video's and songs tell about going to hell or even mention anything of the sort.  Throwing all music into one category and saying that the whole lot is Satanic, is just ridiculous and a Fear Mechanism to keep people into these "Cults."

Red Hot Chile Peppers -- A Rock and Roll Band

Some who prejudge bands of Rock and Roll will think this is about something sinister, but if they really sit down and listen to the music and lyrics they will find it much different. This goes to say that not ALL and a majority of it is not Satan Worshipping.

What I got - Lyrics

What I've got you've got to give it to your mamma 

What I've got you've got to give it to your pappa 

What I've got you've got to give it to your daughter 

You do a little dance and then you drink a little water 

What I've got you've got to get it put it in you 

What I've got you've got to get it put it in you 

What I've got you've got to get it put it in you 

Reeling with the feeling don't stop continue 

Realize I don't want to be a miser 

Confide w/sly you'll be the wiser 

Young blood is the lovin' upriser 

How come everybody wanna keep it like the kaiser 

[Chorus] Give it away give it away give it away give it away now 

Give it away give it away give it away give it away now 

Give it away give it away give it away give it away now 

I can't tell if I'm a kingpin or a pauper 

Greedy little people in a sea of distress 

Keep your more to receive your less 

Unimpressed by material excess 

Love is free love me say hell yes

 I'm a low brow but I rock a little know how 

No time for the piggies or the hoosegow 

Get smart get down with the pow wow 

Never been a better time than right now 

Bob Marley poet and a prophet 

Bob Marley taught me how to off it 

Bob Marley walkin' like he talk it 

Goodness me can't you see I'm gonna cough it 

[Chorus] Lucky me swimmin' in my ability 

Dancin' down on life with agility 

Come and drink it up from my fertility 

Blessed with a bucket of lucky mobility 

My mom I love her 'cause she love me 

Long gone are the times when she scrub me 

Feelin' good my brother gonna hug me 

Drink my juice young love chug-a-lug me 

There's a river born to be a giver 

Keep you warm won't let you shiver 

His heart is never gonna wither 

Come on everybody time to deliver 

[Chorus] [repeat first verse]

Metallica

Metallica--A Rock and Roll Band

Now some will say that this is really Hard Rock, but Rock is Rock and Roll. This Band does a lot of music geared to establishment and governments and their disgrace. Here is just one example of their song

ONE - Lyrics

I can't remember anything 

Can't tell if this is true or a dream 

Deep down inside I feel to scream 

This terrible silence stops in me 

Now that the war is through with me

I'm waking up, I cannot see 

That there is not much left of me 

Nothing is real but pain now 

Hold my breath as I wish for death 

Oh please God, wake me 

Back in the womb it's much too real 

In pumps life that I must feel 

But can't look forward to reveal 

Look to the time when I live 

Fed through the tube that sticks in me 

Just like a wartime novelty. 

Tied to machines that make me be 

Cut this life off from me 

Hold my breath as I wish for death 

Oh please God, wake me 

Now the world is gone I'm just one 

Oh God, help me hold my breath 

as I wish for death 

Oh please God, help me 

Darkness imprisoning me 

All that I see Absolute horror I cannot live I cannot die 

Trapped in myself 

Body my holding cell 

Landmine Has taken my sight 

Taken my speech T

aken my hearing 

Taken my arms 

Taken my legs 

Taken my soul 

Left me with life in hell

Obviously the are misled, because this is a song about Jesus

Norman Greenbaum - Spirit in the Sky Lyrics

 When I die and they lay me to rest

Gonna go to the place that's the best

When I lay me down to die

Goin' up to the spirit in the sky

Goin' up to the spirit in the sky

That's where I'm gonna go when I die

When I die and they lay me to rest

Gonna go to the place that's the best

Prepare yourself you know it's a must

Gotta have a friend in Jesus

So you know that when you die

He's gonna recommend you

To the spirit in the sky

Gonna recommend you

To the spirit in the sky

That's where you're gonna go when you die

When you die and they lay you to rest

You're gonna go to the place that's the best

Never been a sinner I never sinned

I got a friend in Jesus

So you know that when I die

He's gonna set me up with

The spirit in the sky

Oh set me up with the spirit in the sky

That's where I'm gonna go when I die

When I die and they lay me to rest

I'm gonna go to the place that's the best

Go to the place that's the best

This is another song abut Jesus and it is Rock and Roll

I Don't Know How To Love Him - Jesus Christ Superstar

Jesus Christ Superstar - 

I don't Know How To Love Him

MARY MAGDALENE

I don't know how to love him. 

What to do, how to move him. 

I've been changed, yes really changed. 

In these past few days, when I've seen myself, 

I seem like someone else.

I don't know how to take this. 

I don't see why he moves me. 

He's a man. He's just a man. 

And I've had so many men before, 

In very many ways, 

He's just one more.

Should I bring him down? 

Should I scream and shout? 

Should I speak of love, 

Let my feelings out? 

I never thought I'd come to this. 

What's it all about?

Don't you think it's rather funny, 

I should be in this position. 

I'm the one who's always been 

So calm, so cool, no lover's fool, 

Running every show. 

He scares me so.

I never thought I'd come to this. 

What's it all about?

Yet, if he said he loved me, 

I'd be lost. I'd be frightened. 

I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope. 

I'd turn my head. I'd back away. 

I wouldn't want to know. 

He scares me so. 

I want him so. 

I love him so.

Third Day--Yes a Rock Band - Cry Out To Jesus

Third Day

 THIRD DAY LYRICS

"Cry Out To Jesus"

To everyone who's lost someone they love

Long before it was their time

You feel like the days you had were not enough

when you said goodbye

And to all of the people with burdens and pains

Keeping you back from your life

You believe that there's nothing and there is no one

Who can make it right

There is hope for the helpless

Rest for the weary

Love for the broken heart

There is grace and forgiveness

Mercy and healing

He'll meet you wherever you are

Cry out to Jesus, Cry out to Jesus

For the marriage that's struggling just to hang on

They lost all of their faith in love

They've done all they can to make it right again

Still it's not enough

For the ones who can't break the addictions and chains

You try to give up but you come back again

Just remember that you're not alone in your shame

And your suffering

When your lonely

And it feels like the whole world is falling on you

You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus

Cry to Jesus

To the widow who suffers from being alone

Wiping the tears from her eyes

For the children around the world without a home

Say a prayer tonight

Awesome God

Hillsong United

Awesome God Lyrics

 When He rolls up His sleeves

He ain't just puttin' on the ritz

(our God is an awesome God)

There is thunder in His footsteps

And lightning in His fist

(our God is an awesome God)

Well, the Lord wasn't joking

When He kicked 'em out of Eden

It wasn't for no reason that He shed his blood

His return is very close and so you better be believing

that our God is an awesome God

REFRAIN

Our God(our God) is an awesome God

He reigns(He reigns) from heaven above

With wisdom(with wisdom) pow'r and love

our God is an awesome God

And when the sky was starless in the void of the night 

(our God is an awesome God)

He spoke into the darkness and created the light

(our God is an awesome God)

Judgment and wrath he poured out on Sodom

Mercy and grace He gave us at the cross

I hope that we have not too quickly forgotten that

our God is an awesome God

Refrain x3

Our God is an awesome God

Our God is an awesome God 

(Our God is an awesome God)

(Our God is an awesome God)

Loosing My Religion --REM

Losing My Religion Lyrics

 Oh, life is bigger

It's bigger than you

And you are not me

The lengths that I will go to

The distance in your eyes

Oh no, I've said too much

I set it up

(chorus)

That's me in the corner

That's me in the spotlight, I'm

Losing my religion

Trying to keep up with you

And I don't know if I can do it

Oh no, I've said too much

I haven't said enough

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

Every whisper

Of every waking hour I'm

Choosing my confessions

Trying to keep an eye on you

Like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool

Oh no, I've said too much

I set it up

Consider this

Consider this

The hint of the century

Consider this

The slip that brought me

To my knees failed

What if all these fantasies

Come flailing around

Now I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing

I thought that I heard you sing

I think I thought I saw you try

But that was just a dream

That was just a dream

(repeat chorus)

But that was just a dream

Try, cry, why try?

That was just a dream

Just a dream, just a dream

Dream 

Comments From My Hub

Some Comments from others that I had gotten when this was posted on Hubpages:

"Music can touch our soul in different ways, it depends on who is listening. I do not think that it the the Devils tool.

Have you heard of Hillsong United? It's one of my favorite bands, it is a tool to reach the youth by playing rock music to worship God. One of there songs is, "One Way."

Lyrics goes this way:

I lay my life down at Your feet

Cause You're the only one I need

I turn to You and You are always there

In troubled times it's You I seek

I put You first that's all I need

I humble all I am all to You

One way, Jesus

You're the only one that I could live for

One Way, Jesus

You're the only one that I could live for

You are always, always there

Every how and everywhere

Your grace abounds so deeply within me

You will never ever change

Yesterday today the same

Forever till forever meets no end

You are the Way the Truth and the Life

We live by faith and not by sight for You

We're living all for You"

"I just thought of a lyric and act that would come under great criticism by people who claim this: Arthur Brown's Fire in which he says "I am the god of Hell-fire and I bring you fire..."

I met Arthur at Glastonbury and had a long chat with him and he's a lovely man and a brilliant entertainer. Personally I don't believe in Hell. It's a fear factor to get people to obey dogma!

Also, want to add that what rock stars sing and do on stage is an act and an image and does not necessarily reflect them at all - they are entertainers after all.

Having said that, I am sure music does have a hold over fans and influences decisions and fans of an act who openly support a religion or cult are likely to join what their heroes are in. This used to happen a lot at the end of the 60s when the Beatles and many other stars were into Transcendental Meditation, gurus and the Hare Krishna Temple."

"LG- I was shocked when I saw 18% believe that Rock and Roll is the tool of satan. It is up to the individual at what point in their life they want to take to spiritual path. I once mentioned the John Lenon Song Imagine and was told it is preaching a communist agenda. I guess people want to put things in straight jackets. But in reality we shouldn't try to confine everything into our narrow view of looking at things purely from a black or white perspective. Good thought provoking hub."

"Hi Lady G, I for one listen to nothing but soft, medium, and hard rock and love it. I know that the ones you have listed are not my type of music, but i do love Black Sabath, not all of their music but most, and do not want to worship the Satan. I listen to music to feel good and get up and move, i love Areosmith, Kansas, Styx, Queen, Led Zephlin, Richie Blackmoore, Deep Purple, Robin Trower, Super Tramp, Rush just to name a few. All of these groups are great with a lot of wonderful music that gets your blood going. If there is any music that the Lord of Darkness loves, it would be Country music, with all of it's "gloom, dispare, and agony on me, deep dark depression, excessive misery, if wern't for bad luck i'd have no luck at all, gloom, dispare, and agony on me". That sums up Country music "with a tear in my beer", Satan just loves us being unhappy, wollowing in self pitty, depressed, crying over the past, if i, had i, should have, could have, would have, and cursing the day we were born. I know there are a lot of people who listen to Country music, and i am sorry if i have offended you, because i have a lot of friends who listen to it too (I am in Alabama) but they like me just the same, and we meet on common grounds when we listen to music (no Country, no Rock) just good music. Lady G I think that your Hub was really good and will view more of your Hubs (sorry i got off on a spree)."

"It's just that any music can be counted down to four. Evry musical note is a walking note. It's just time against musical pitch. How can you associate it with Satan? or Jesus? It's got nothing to do with it. Businesswise, it sells and there goes propagandas in the business war and that's what really is all about."
