Keen on getting opinions! What do you think about listening to Hillsong?

David also repented…. Hillsong are not repentant of their heresy

@Luiz If by "religiosity" you mean reverent worship for God, then yes.

8:24 unless you believe that oI am he you will die in your sins.” 8:28 I am he 8:58 Truly, truly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I am 18:5 I am he I am the bread of life. 6:35, 48, 51. I am the light of the world. 8:12; 9:5. I am the door of the sheep. 10:7, 9. I am the good shepherd. 10:11, 14. I am the resurrection and the life. 11:25. I am the way, the truth, and the life. 14:6. I am the true vine. 15:1 These all assert that Jesus is God

and are a specific reference to the Father, , YHVH (IAm that which I Am) Ex 13:4. Either the writers knew this and arrogantly decided to apply this title to themselves, or they are so devoid of scriptural knowledge that they are unaware of God's claim to the name "I am". Either way, between this and the mindless repetition designed to cause people to enter an altered state of consciousness, which they then falsely attribute to the Holy Spirit, in defiance of Jesus' (Mt 6:7)

They have proven themselves to be Montanist heretics and blasphemers, deserving condemnation and completely unfit to lead. It's hardly surprising that the rotten fruit of a sex offender like Frank Houston led to the rotten fruits of modern Hillsong self worship.

@John I think I am picking up what you’re putting down, yet I don’t think you’ve looked the lyrics… “I’m a child of God” This is such a powerful song for someone who is hurting and isolated. I couldn’t tell you the number of times I have cried, forcing myself to sing this on the way to school pick up because I needed to be reminded I am not forsaken. This isn’t a worship song, this a prayer - there’s a time and a place for Hillsong music IMO

@John which songs specifically?

@JJV All of them

@John how so?

@John Made Me Glad is a beautiful worship song I LOVE to bust out!! Hosanna is another favourite worship song my Hillsong. Not all of their tracks are worship and therefore not all should not be sung in a church. Yet there is beautiful theology in many of their songs 🙏

@Amber Their theology includes the false "prosperity gospel" (which is no gospel at all), and the heresy of Montanism. There are death metal songs with better theology than anything from Hillsong, but that doesn't mean we should recommend them.

@John could you please provide some of their songs which focus on prosperity so I can be selective with my listening? I haven’t recognised this in the music and I appreciate the warning 🙏

@Amber Scroll up to my first comment with the link, remove the space from it and enjoy. In short, not only are their sonfs the problem, the entire worship model is broken.

@John I don’t believe we’re looking at the same comment. I am unaware of any songs from Hillsong that preach prosperity gospel. If you can’t back your comments, please be prayerful before you make them 🙏

@Amber I don't know which ones you're talking about. I've provided dozens of biblical references, perhaps read them?
