What is and what is not Christian/ Sacred music?

Stairway to Heaven - backwards full lyrics

Hear why its sung here, oppositioner..
Allll on track, all arriving
They all sing, and they are one.
Shall I loathe you now, parishoner?
Oh hear Him, Christian within me.
It stirs my sin; the river,
Oh, she swells with our lousiness.
All my life will end for him?
We’re all out of signs,
I know I’m sorta shocked
To hear The Lord,
My God now will save me!
Oh I will n’er be saved,
Because I live with Satan..
One wish today;
That you’ll all pray for
Three who will make it here late.
Pray now and you’ll see..
The ‘Lord’ turned me on,
But, oh, I was the shaggy fool..
Clothed in agony,
Lost at a height.
There’s no escaping it,
Nor his woes..
So here’s to my Sweet Satan.
The one who’s little path
Would make me sad,
Whose power is satan.
He’ll give you 666.
there was a little toolshed,
where he made
us suffer sad Satan.
Ohohohoh...
“Family won’t get loose,
They’re offered me”
Always soothes the worker.
Always will be as we know now
“I see ruins,” said he,
“the world they offered me?
Who wished the Lord’s fall”
If we lose feather,
Say you’ll save me!

And no wimps can bend the rules..
And no wimps can do..

Hunt next to the shore,
‘Cause they see all from there,
See here’s the news,
Who walks with mute grief!
Perhaps no-one found thee...
“Heavy, lift me out,”
Spake the Reve,
“Someday, failed, we’ll lose one line-up,
They’ve gotta leave forsaken”

And no wimps can do..
And no wimps can do...

He, who say the lords
Thoth have our laws,
Maat must be superb. Mass is ended..
Over there,
He who should learn thee.
Any moot that serves by my sworn music,
I wish it with snow be shushed, All for my mass’s sake.
Hear why its sung,
here, oppositioner, Ohh..
He who should show
May make his show worthy,
To look, for us, odd.. sickly,
There’s one chance - take his show.
Hold thy head,
Hear why its sung here. oppositioner.
Who owns this earth built below?
Oh sweet Israel…

"Stairway to Heaven" is one of the songs I learned about in school when the teacher taught us about backmasking. We took several rock songs on tape, manually unscrewed the cassette case and flipped the tape rolls upside down to reverse the music on them, put it back together and played it. With the "Stairway to Heaven," we could hear full sentences in the backmasking. Internet sites now contain those words.

Here's one rendition:


Only the devil would be intelligent enough in our times to be able to engineer/compose an entire, lengthy song in both the forward and reverse directions. It is far, far, far from "Christian."

Backmasking
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Backmasking is a recording technique in which a sound or message is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. Backmasking is a deliberate process, whereas a message found through phonetic reversal may be unintentional.

Backmasking was popularised by The Beatles, who used backward instrumentation on their 1966 album Revolver.[1] Artists have since used backmasking for artistic, comedic and satiric effect, on both analogue and digital recordings. The technique has also been used to censor words or phrases for "clean" releases of explicit songs.

In 1969, rumors of a backmasked message in the Beatles song "Revolution 9" sparked the Paul is dead urban legend.[2] In the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, Christian groups in the United States alleged that backmasking was being used by prominent rock musicians for Satanic purposes, leading to record-burning protests and proposed anti-backmasking legislation by state and federal governments.[3]

Many popular musicians have since been accused of including backmasked messages in their music. However, apparent backmasked messages may in fact be examples of pareidolia - the brain's tendency to recognize patterns in meaningless data - or coincidental phonetic reversal.[2] READ MORE

Satan is intelligent. He knows the human mind is capable of absorbing messages it was not aware it had even received. These are sometimes called "subliminal messages." One such case of known subliminal messages being effective in reaching minds was proved early on in the movie theater industry. A single-frame ad saying something like "Eat more popcorn!" was placed in the film roll that played to the audience in the theater. Without being conscious of having seen that ad, which ran for only a 30th of a second, many people got up and bought more popcorn. When this effect was proven to increase popcorn sales, the government stepped in and made such advertising illegal, saying, in effect, that a viewer should have the opportunity to make a conscious decision based on a known stimulus.

Unlike the government, which had a sense of fairness, Satan has no interest in being fair. He is happy to use any form of persuasion to get minds to his side.

Ceremony and Display.--Form and ceremony do not constitute the kingdom of God. Ceremonies become multitudinous and extravagant as the vital principles of the kingdom of God are lost. But it is not form and ceremony that Christ requires. He hungers to receive from His vineyard fruit in holiness and unselfishness, deeds of goodness, mercy, and truth. {Ev 511.2}

Gorgeous apparel, fine singing, and instrumental music in the church do not call forth the songs of the angel choir. In the sight of God these things are like the branches of the unfruitful fig tree which bore nothing but pretentious leaves. Christ looks for fruit, for principles of goodness and sympathy and love. These are the principles of heaven, and when they are revealed in the lives of human beings, we may know that Christ is formed within, the hope and glory. A congregation may be the poorest in the land, without music or outward show, but if it possesses these principles, the members can sing, for the joy of Christ is in their souls, and this they can offer as a sweet oblation to God.--Manuscript 123, 1899. {Ev 511.3}

Music Acceptable to God.--The superfluities which have been brought into the worship in _____ must be strenuously avoided. . . . Music is acceptable to God only when the heart is sanctified and made soft and holy by its facilities. But many who delight in music know nothing of making melody in their hearts to the Lord. Their heart is gone "after their idols." --Letter 198, 1899. {Ev 512.1}

A Misuse of Music.--When professing Christians reach the high standard which it is their privilege to reach, the simplicity of Christ will be maintained in all their worship. Forms and ceremonies and musical accomplishments are not the strength of the church. Yet these things have taken the place that God should have, even as they did in the worship of the Jews. {Ev 512.2}

So they suddenly went out and bought more popcorn, huh? LOL

Subliminal messaging is an urban legend, a conspiracy to keep people in dread and fear of the unknown: don't look, don't eat, don't drink, don't taste, don't go, don't stay, don't ask, don't tell.

So they suddenly went out and bought more popcorn, huh? LOL

Well, I hate to say it but I agree with James on this one.

And yes, I DID do the whole "Week of Prayer" thing with special speaker Richard Baron and the 1, or 2, or 3-hour long alter-calls so "just one more soul can come to the Lord" and then go and get your Black Sabbath or Eagles or Carpenters or John Denver records with the sub-liminal messaging, and your Playboys with all the...well, you know , and cigarettes and Ouija boards and throw them all into the wooden coffin and throw IT on the bonfire and BURN THEM ALL!! while pledging a new life in Jesus (pronounced JEee e-sus)

And the next week the dorm was just as full of tobacco and Hustler and rock music as the week prior to Week of Prayer.

And nothing changes.
