hmm..honestly I have wondered that same thing about Tye and Spank, i guess that's a question that will never be answered, as much as I love Tye, that does seem rather strange...
I understand where ...( 3 months ago by florence303)
I understand where you are coming from. And at one point in time I was in that same boat. But what has to be understood is that the bible say out of all your getting to get a understanding. What Tye is saying is that we are to be in the world, but not of the world. See in the book of Matthew chapter 9 starting at the 10th verse down to the 13th verse, when the Pharisees asked Jesus's disciples why did he eat with the sinners, Jesus said to them, that the well need not a doctor but it is the sick
Then he goes on to ...( 3 months ago by florence303)
Then he goes on to say that in verse 13: " For I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Now see the only way to get someone that has lost there way to repent, is to be among them no doubt. But we are not to be part takers of what they do.
Jesus was around ...( 3 months ago by florence303)
Jesus was around them but he taught them how to be Godly men and women. How to change from sinn, to live of life of Holiness for God. See order for us tell a sinner how to come to God, we must first let God clean us up. That when the time comes for us to witness to the people, we mite be able to stand not being wavery in our actions. So then they will be able to say, "Man knew them when they was out here acting crazy like me. And I would have never thought they would change".
Then thats when ...( 3 months ago by florence303)
Then thats when they start thinking to themsleves; wait a minute it has to be something I know they didnt just change that way themsleves. Thats when the question start coming and then the change. But what he is saying is if we are doing what they are doing, acting like they are acting.
Tye Tribbett is ...( 2 months ago by GodsGrace333)
Tye Tribbett is preaching God's word, and those who are opposed to God's word will react negatively to His messenger.
None of God's true messenger's in the Bible (including Jesus Himself) were embraced by the people they ministered to.
That goes for today. God's true messengers will not be embraced by the world because the world truly hates Jesus. So, keep preaching God's Word, Tye!!

I like what he;s saying and maybe he has evolved passed this message, but his latest album is has hip hop styles, their is a message in the songs but it is full of strong hip hop influence, can't deny, listen to it, might have been preaching to self anf didn't realize it can happen, and you not know because sometimes every word we get we think it for someone else and not us, you can preach to self because god is talking to you and others.
Thanks florence, i ...( 2 months ago by bunncat40)
Thanks florence, i definately understand what your sayin, basically while we are called be invest in unbelievers lives, we are still called to be set apart, so that they will see a difference in our lives and want to change..., But what i still can get pass is the element of hip hop, hip hop is a style of music, with that style comes a lifestyle, some chose to live it and others dont, as a believer i choose not to live that lifestyle but it does not glorify God...continued
But while i dont ...( 2 months ago by bunncat40)
But while i dont take part in the worldly aspects of that style of music dosnt mean i cant like the genre, even tye has hip hop elements in some of his songs, basically what im saying is that you can like a genre without necessarilly liking the culture, i like what you said about being in the world but not of it, thats really what i wanted to say..., Music is Music, and Music is Art, nothing more, with every genre comes a culture and lifestyle...continued
All in all, i ...( 2 months ago by bunncat40)
All in all, i except hip hop as a style of music, i take nothing more than that from it, im not involved in the hip hop culture by any means, it says in ephesians that we are to be set apart and holy, and thats the way i chose to live my life...im only 17 so i have a lot to learn, but when God convicts me why stay silent?, and again, someone PLEASE correct me if im wrong in anything that i say, im not trying to justify anything that i dont think is right, stay blessed everyone...
What you are saying ...( 2 months ago by florence303)
What you are saying is so true as well. People dont understand that it is not hip hop its-self, but it is the person. There all only two thing that can be given in this life; that is Life and Death. And that power the bible says in the book of James is found in the tongue. So if I am speaking of killing, lieing, stealing, etc, I am giving you death. But if I am speak of love, joy, peace and good life, I am speaking Life. Dont get me wrong, when I was in the world I listen to hip hop... continue.
I even did rap ...( 2 months ago by florence303)
I even did rap myself. And now that I am in church I listen to Holy hip hop artist like Da' Truth, Flame, John Rueben, etc as well as my genral Gospel. This is why we are in the world and not of the world. The culture of hip hop is not the problem, but the heart and the tongue is. Whatever one is, that is what is going to come out; Life or Death. For example a Homosexual is not the man, but the spirit that is on the man. A murder is not the man, but the spirit that is on the man. Get it. (smile)
haha i like that, ...( 2 months ago by bunncat40)
haha i like that, thanks thats all i was tryin to put out, you cant just shut hip hop down all together because of the negative things that are in it, anything can be perverted in this world (sex) the bible says it is sacred and beautiful, but we as believers chose to take something like hip hop that has an impact on young people, and use it in a positive way, there are even secular artists who use hip hop in a positive way and uplift people, not everything about hip hop is bad, thanks florence

I reeeeeaally agree with you bh3art03, particularly with the second part. There's nothing wrong with R&B or even rap in a Talib Kweli or a Common way, as long as you stay a Christian and stay clean, you can do other things besides church.

Question(s): (If you get offened, you just get offened.) Should we try to get to Heaven God's way or our own way? How can bitter and sweet water flow from the same fountain? How is it that mans beliefs and opinions out weigh the word of God not the revised versions of the Bible? Why is it that modern day "Christians" are conforming to everything thing else besides the image of God? Whom still requires a HOLY life by the way.

No sir NOT offended at all, In fact I actually LOVE THIS message, however as you so stated "that first album was way back in 2004, this is 2008...he has gotten new revelations in that 4 year period(ie this video)", thus I reiterate my question.
