I agree with what is written, however there is a section that I think it might be helpful if an example was given.
Quote
I hear about entertainers like Shai Linne who are promoted by preachers like Mark Dever. What he does is not honoring to God. He is merely a rapper who has gained a following by twisting the confessions to fit his purpose, musically and ends up with some pretty distorted teachings.
I am definitely not a fan of rap at all and I don't want to be seen as someone who is defending a rapper such as Shai Linne. However, the way this is written it makes an accusation against Shai Linne, without showing how he twists confessions to fit his purpose, and musically ends up with some pretty distorted teachings.
Sorry, I have no interest in listening to lyrics of a rap song to try to understand what he is saying. The very idea repulses me.
I am aware that music is not neutral, but the way this is written it sounds like both the words and the music are un-biblical.
Had it said that the music pollutes his words, then I wouldn’t even be posting this.
The only thing I have heard about Shai Linne is that he is a rapper who just happens to believe in the doctrines of grace and sings about them.
