Rebuttal with hesitation of screening songs due to triggers of old life
My perspective: I believe most songs are like most movies, [such that] in order to invoke feelings/emotions, it must take from the best story of all time …
The bible
Humans distort the story to the point that it is disordered from the original context of the bible
Example: matrix is Jesus. R&b started from a point of expressing love, but then became over sexualized. Dance music an expression of joy, but then sexualized. Slow music to bring peace has been relinquished to sleeping and ignored. Angsty music an expression of emotional frustration and questioning, but seen as angry mosh pits.
God can use anything to communicate with us
We can use anything to worship Him
Our heart posture is what God seeks in us
Everything is permissible, but not everything is beneficial. Tension. Discernment
This morning’s session reflection regarding bflymary statement of me being “in my body a lot” I wondered why and i am feel weirdly like my worthless thing is either a crutch or just have some crazy roots that it touches so many parts of my life. I surmise that intentional heavy pruning (aka killing) emotions and external physical reactions means i did not feel internally nor externally in the form of physical sensations. So then i just observe others and stay confused as to why they continue to do things that result in pain. When i learned there is normally something i can do to reduce pain, i was confused as to why people did not just do that. Why do people not want to be healed?
Second layer to the that. Fruit of the spirit. Because they have barriers to seeking the fruit. The barriers are the 7 deadly sins. I see mostly sloth. Too tired to seek the fruit.
