You cannot sing for the world and sing for the Lord at the same time. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils. Two cannot walk together unless they are in agreement, Amos tells us.

An age old question has once again popped up, and it is one that is always worthwhile addressing everytime it does, the question of what type of music should a born again Bible believer be listening to. As someone who has been a musician since the age of 9, born again for the past 31 years, and a former actor who spent 6 years working at a high level in Hollywood, I feel that my testimony will be sufficiently credible as well as biblically straight.

A reader named Carolyn wrote to me today, and asked me for my opinion on Christians and music, and I am very happy to answer her question here in this article.

“Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by him.” Colossians 3:16,17 (KJB)

I remember a friend of mine who was a drummer in a Christian heavy metal band letting me listen to his latest recording, and that didn’t go very well at all. My ears could only take about 5 seconds of it as my brain recoiled in horror at the musical assault on my senses. When he asked me what I thought of it, I said as politely as I could muster, “it sounds like the Devil”. He never spoke with me again after that, but I don’t take back a word of it, and that brings me to the “meat of my message” about music in the life of the Christian. For the Bible believer, 90% of the world’s music, including the “christian rock” on whatever level it presents itself, must be thrown in the trash as it will not bring you closer to the Lord, and in fact, will pull you gradually further away. In 31 years, I’ve not seen one Christian who does not become pulled away to some extent from the Lord by listening to the wrong music, and that includes Christian rock, rap and country.

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJB)

We told you last year that Kanye West was going to be used in a very big way as part of the end times false revival, and we were right.

KANYE WEST JOINS UP WITH END TIMES DECEIVERS NEW APOSTOLIC REFORMATION FOR DISPLAY OF ‘SIGNS, MIRACLES AND WONDERS’ AT ‘AWAKEN 2020’ AT SUN DEVIL STADIUM IN ARIZONA

Let me address the phenomena of musicians who become “born again” but don’t abandon their old music. The Bible says that you cannot put new wine into old wineskins, and brother that’s gospel truth right there. A few years ago, Brian “Head” Welch, a guitarist from the demonic band ‘Korn’ made headlines when he became a “radically saved” born again Christian. Well, that didn’t last much longer than the carbonation from a recently-opened can of soda before he started returning to his old ways. Then came the marketed ‘clarifications’ of his “christianity” which, as it turns out, was never biblical Christianity at all. Evangelist and YouTuber Spencer Smith has some good videos about all that here, and you should go see what he says about Brian Welch’s conversion. Now let’s talk Kanye.

“Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.” 2 Corinthians 4:1,2 (KJB)

Kanye West is another one who became a “radical Christian” but remained a wolf the entire time, deceiving biblically illiterate Laodiceans into thinking that he had changed. He didn’t fool me for one second of a single minute, and I wrote about that calling for true Christians to dump him. Kanye used the ruse to generate hundreds of millions in song revenue, and then when he made that score, he began performing with Marilyn Manson and Travis Scott, both satanists. Haha, fooled you, suckers.

“They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us.” 1 John 2:19,20 (KJB)

Kanye West may have his biggest audience yet for a Sunday Service, because we've learned he's agreed to take the stage for Joel Osteen's incredibly popular Sunday ritual.

THE KANYE WEST DECEPTION

I do not put any stock in the “conversion” of any rock, rap or country singer who does not renounce his musical catalog after becoming born again. You cannot sing for the world and sing for the Lord at the same time. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils. Two cannot walk together unless they are in agreement, Amos tells us. So which is it, are you saved or still lost? If you’re saved then act like it! A Christian has no business listening to country music that glorifies drinking and fornicating, which is most of rock, rap and country music. I understand that this is a process, it’s hard to do and it takes time to cleanses that junk from your mind, and maybe it will take years until you are able to leave it behind. But make no mistake, that’s the path you signed on to walk when you got saved, the standard is still the standard. You come up to it, it does not come down to you, and you don’t “meet in the middle”. Everytime I have tried to have some of the world and some of the Lord in my Christian life, it has always led me away from God and damaged my testimony.

IT’S CALLED “HELLSONG” FOR A REASON, CLICK TO FIND OUT WHAT THAT REASON IS.

Hillsong United took the Christian music world by storm, winning a constant stream of Grammys and pulling in tens of millions for Hillsong Corporate. At first Christians were taken aback by the Illuminati symbols, loud pulsating bass and drums, and “christmas programs” that featured half-naked Roaring 20’s flappers dancing in a speakeasy. Then they got used to it, then they embraced it, then they were deceived by it. A wise old Irish saying goes “A man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, the drink takes the man.” It works the same with music, too. Hillsong Churches all around the world are right now collapsing in scandal, the fruit of the music they created. Hillsong music, with their hypnotic choruses, is nothing more than a soundtrack for your Laodicean lifestyle, with the thermostat set perpetually to lukewarm.

“So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.” Revelation 3:16 (KJB)

Marilyn Manson sang his hit 'Antichrist Superstar' and burned the Bible at the very same show that was headlined by 'born again christian' Kanye West

KANYE WEST PERFORMED WITH SATANIST TRAVIS SCOTT AT ASTROWORLD 2019 AS MARILYN MANSON SANG ‘ANTICHRIST SUPERSTAR’ AND BURNED THE BIBLE

Carolyn asked me about bands like Alice Cooper, Megadeth, Stryper, Judas Priest, Rush and the like, should a Christian be listening to groups like that? The answer is no, NO, a thousand times no!! The same goes for Frank Sinatra, the Bay City Rollers, Bruce Springsteen, Adele, Katy Perry, Kanye West, Travis Scott, Astroworld, Justin Beiber, Lil Nas X, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Coldplay, Billie Eilish, Post Malone and the rest of that lot. Why? Because that music glorifies the world, and not Jesus Christ, and you won’t hear a single note of that junk in Heaven, in New Jerusalem or in eternity. But you will hear songs along the lines of Amazing Grace, Blessed Assurance, Saved By The Blood and any other song that glorifies God and His only begotten Son Jesus.

“Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:13,14 (KJB)

Let me close with this thought. I write this today not in the role of a fundamental Baptist who wants to submit you to man-made rules and regulations, not at all. I write this as a professional musician and born again Bible believer who has tried over the years to mix the secular with the sacred and found that it fails each and every time. There is nothing in any hymn written to glorify Jesus Christ that will ever lead you to fornication, murder, adultery and suicide, but there is loads of it in songs by Kenny Chesney, Mel Torme, John Cougar Mellencamp, Billy Joel, Jay-Z, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, 50 Cent, Lady Gaga, Michael Jackson and Madonna. When I speak with people who are suicidal and have darks thoughts, the majority of them are usually doing two things. They are drinking, smoking or dabbling with drugs, and they’re listening to worldly secular music that is pulling them away from the Lord. Take this test, next time you’re in the car by yourself, turn the radio off and let your thoughts just praise Jesus Christ while you drive, and see how long that lasts until the radio comes back on again. If you can’t drive in the car for an hour without listening to secular music or Laodicean Christian pop, and just enjoy praising the Lord, then you’ll know how deep the problem goes. I write this today in the hopes that it will help some of you who are struggling in your walk with the Lord, and many times, music is the reason. I pray this will be a much-needed blessing to you.

The Bible Does Not Teach ‘Original Sin’, It Goes Far Deeper Than That And The Answer Is Found In Understanding What The ‘Image Of Adam’ Really Is

Published

July 31, 2025

Geoffrey Grider

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

You were not born with ‘original sin’ as the Roman Catholics teach, you were born with the image of Adam, something far more deadly than mere sins you can commit

If you look at the photo at the top of this article, you see Adam and Eve, and the snake, with an apple. The Bible says nothing about an apple in the Garden that day, if you want to make a case for a fruit being the ‘forbidden fruit’, you’d want to take a look at grapes starting in Numbers 6:3. But just as the Bible doesn’t teach that Adam and Eve ate an apple, it also doesn’t teach that every human born after they fell has ‘original sin’, because they don’t. It is something far deeper, it is the deadly ‘image of Adam’ that will send your soul to Hell. It’s not so much that we commit sin, but rather that we are born sinners with Adam’s image fused into our DNA.

“And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:” Genesis 5:3 (KJB)

In the gospel of John, Jesus says something quite curious to Nicodemus, and he has no idea what Jesus is talking about. Jesus tells Nicodemus “That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.” Jesus is telling him that his physical birth generated him with the image of Adam, and that he needed a spiritual birth to receive the image of God. Take a look at some of these verses speaking to that:

“Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:17 (KJB)
“And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.” 1 Corinthians 15:45-47 (KJB)
“For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us; Having abolished in his flesh the enmity, even the law of commandments contained in ordinances; for to make in himself of twain one new man, so making peace; And that he might reconcile both unto God in one body by the cross, having slain the enmity thereby:” Ephesians 2:14-16 (KJB)
“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.” 1 Corinthians 15:22 (KJB)

Do you see what those verses are telling you? When you were born, you were born into Adam and received his fallen image. When you become born again, the ‘old man’ is taken away and the ‘new man’ is born. Where does the concept of ‘original sin’ come from? Why it comes from the Roman Catholic Church! They teach that your ‘original sin’ can only be ‘washed away’ in a Roman Catholic baby baptism ritual. Ha! Also not in the Bible in either Testament. Please see Acts 8:35-38 (KJB) for ‘more on that story’.

Years ago, someone asked me what ‘religion’ I was, and I replied that I am born again. And they said, “oh, you’re one of the born again’ers, not me. I don’t need that. I’m just a regular Christian.” No, you’re not. Either you are born again and in the Body of Christ, or you are lost, stuck in the image of Adam and heading for Hell. But what about the babies? Glad you asked.

“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: (For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.” Romans 5:12,13 (KJB)

God is not a Calvinist, He doesn’t bring souls into the world in order to save some and damn the rest. Maybe R.C. Sproul and John MacArthur taught that, but the Bible sure doesn’t. In His mercy and grace, God does not impute sin to the soul that is not aware they have sinned against Him. This includes all babies, people with Down Syndrome, severe mental impairment and retardation, souls who got killed in abortion, you get the idea. But once you are awake and aware that there is a God and He has a Law, at that point, you become accountable at whatever age that is. This is why being a witness for Jesus Christ, handing out gospel tracts and telling people how to get saved is so very vital and important.

If you are ‘in Adam’ with his image, you’re a dead man walking. Being born again in Jesus Christ erases that image, generates you reborn in the image of God, and then seals you unto the day of Redemption. We live in an highly image conscious world, whose image do you have?

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (KJB)

Black Sabbath Singer Ozzy Osbourne Was Known As The ‘Prince Of Darkness’, Sang Incessantly About Satan, And Glorified Hell. But Was He Saved?

Black Sabbath singer Ozzy Osbourne has died, is he now in Heaven or in Hell? Your King James Bible has the answer

Heavy metal god Ozzy Osbourne died the other day, and a flood of tributes have been posted online in his memory, many of them from Christian pastors who were huge fans. One pastor in particular, Tullian Tchividjian whom I have never heard of, had this to say about the Black Sabbath singer. “Oh Ozzy… you wild, beautiful soul. You gave misfits like me a soundtrack for our lives. Beneath the madness was a tender heart that understood pain, and sang it loud. Crazy, Iron Man you—thank you for the honesty, the chaos, the comfort. Rest now, brother. Grace has the final word. Love, Tullian.” There it is, Ozzy Osbourne safe at home in Heaven. Is that possible? Let’s take a look and see.

“And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of those things which are done of them in secret.” Ephesians 5:11,12 (KJB)

First of all, let me just say, I do not wish Hell on anyone, not even on Adolf Hitler, because when you study the doctrine of Hell long enough and understand what it truly is, you don’t want anyone to wind up there. Hell is real, it has flames and outer darkness, and if you find yourself there you will never get out. How to avoid Hell is easy, ‘Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.’ It doesn’t get any easier than that. According to all accounts, Ozzy Osbourne was raised in the Church of England, the same Church where the King James Bible came from, he was baptized as a baby, and he attended Sunday School. That’s pretty good stuff, right?

In an interview with Spin in 1986, as shared by The Guardian, Osbourne said, “I’m a Christian. I was christened as a Christian. I used to go to Sunday school. I never took much interest in it because … I didn’t.”

Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than sleeping in a garage doesn’t make you an automobile. Baptism doesn’t save you, and neither does attending Sunday School. In Acts 8, the Ethiopian eunuch had this exchange with the apostle Philip. “And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.” Belief in Jesus first, baptism second, that’s Church Age doctrine.

The Truth about Heaven and Hell

Let me ask you the most important question you will every be asked in your entire life. If you were to die tonight, where would you go?

Ozzy Osbourne said he ‘believed in God’, that’s good, right? “I believe in God. I don’t go to church, but I don’t think you have to go to church to believe in God,” he said.” On that point he was correct, you do not have to attend church in order to believe in God. James has this to say about that “Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.” Devils in Hell believe in God, so much so that it makes them tremble, but it doesn’t make them saved. Believing that God exists is a wonderful first step on the path to salvation, but believing in God is not enough to save you. God has placed salvation in His only begotten Son Jesus, it is in Him where salvation dwells, no place else. “Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12

Black Sabbath has a song called ‘After Forever’, and here is a line from it “I have seen the truth, yes, I’ve seen the light, and I’ve changed my ways. And I’ll be prepared when you’re lonely and scared at the end of our days.” Sounds almost like a profession of faith, doesn’t it? Maybe, except for the fact that Jesus Christ is THE Truth, there is no other truth. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” Black Sabbath has dozens of songs mentioning Satan and the Devil by name, but as far as I know, not one mentioned the Name of Jesus of Nazareth. Why would Jesus not even get a mention if Ozzy was truly a Christian?

So we see that salvation as defined by the Bible for New Testament Christians living in the Church Age is quite clear, and here it is. “For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:” Did Ozzy Osbourne believe that? There is no record that I could find to show he did, no testimony of salvation or receiving Jesus Christ as Saviour. I think that music like the kind practiced by Black Sabbath, and by “Christian” artists like Slayer, Stryper, Skillet, Demon Hunter and all the others is satanic, and no one who names the Name of Jesus should have anything to do with that garbage. But listening to bad music doesn’t send you to Hell, not believing on the Name of the only begotten Son of God, Jesus of Nazareth does. That’s where we’ll leave it.

Your King James Bible Tells You That God Was Manifest In The Flesh As Jesus Christ, A Precious Truth Snuffed Out In Nearly All The Modern Versions

Published

SHARE NOW THE END BEGINS:

1 Timothy 3:16 in the King James Bible shows you God manifest in the flesh, a truth snuffed out by nearly all the modern versions

There is a verse in 1 Timothy 3 in your King James Bible that is one of the most-powerful verses anywhere in either Testament showing you the deity of Jesus Christ in clear and precises terms. This verse tells us that “God was manifest in the flesh”, that is to say that God the Father put Himself inside a human body to make Himself open and visible. Paul declares this clarion truth to us, and nearly every one of the modern versions take that truth and erase it from the passage like it was never there.

“And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJB)

Of course, this is the teaching of the Bible, giving you written proof that God prepared Himself a body in order to come into this world as the sinless Saviour. Isaiah show us God the Father, born into this world as a baby, who grows to be the Saviour of mankind and the King of the world. We see these verses so often at “Christmas” that they become stripped of their prophetic power and meaning, reduced to being used as fodder for greeting cards.

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.” Isaiah 9:6,7 (KJB)

Jesus Christ is not a “second God”, he is the Father in human form, that’s exactly Who He is. It is the Roman Catholics who tell you about “God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Ghost”, but the Bible doesn’t say any such thing. The Bible says that it is God – Father, Son and Spirit – in one body, Paul calls this the Godhead, and so it is. So why would all the “easier to read” modern versions want to prevent you from receiving and understanding this clear and precious truth about God? It’s an attack on the deity of Jesus Christ which they all love to do. With that in mind, let’s do a quick comparison between the King James and the modern versions.

WANT THE WHOLE TRUTH ABOUT THE MODERN BIBLE VERSIONS? CLICK TO ORDER!!

KING JAMES BIBLE: “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (KJB) Using zero footnotes, Paul tells us that God, the Father, was manifest in the flesh of Jesus Christ, in such clear language that controversy and private interpretation becomes impossible. This is why the modern versions take it out.

NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION: “Beyond all question, the mystery from which true godliness springs is great: He appeared in the flesh, was vindicated by the Spirit,[fn] was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (NIV). Doesn’t tell you who the “He” is, could be God, could be the Devil. Footnote added to sow doubt in your mind about the accuracy of the passage. Billy Graham was a paid spokesperson for the NIV.

ENGLISH STANDARD VERSION: “Great indeed, we confess, is the mystery of godliness: He[fn] was manifested in the flesh, vindicated[fn] by the Spirit,[fn] seen by angels, proclaimed among the nations, believed on in the world, taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (ESV) Doesn’t tell you who the “He” is, could be God, could be the Devil. Multiple footnotes added to sow doubt in your mind about the accuracy of the passage.

LEGACY STANDARD BIBLE: “And by common confession, great is the mystery of godliness: He who was manifested in the flesh, Was [fn]vindicated [fn]in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (LSB) This is the version championed by John McArthur, which is basically a slightly updated ESV. Doesn’t tell you who the “He” is, could be God, could be the Devil. Multiple footnotes added to sow doubt in your mind about the accuracy of the passage.

And the Grand Prize for biblical heresy is reserved, of course, for the Roman Catholic Church, these being the same people who at every turn try and tell you that they are the ones who “gave us the Bible”. Nothing could be further from the truth or more laughable.

DOUAY-RHEIMS BIBLE: “And evidently great is the mystery of godliness, which was manifested in the flesh, was justified in the spirit, appeared unto angels, hath been preached unto the Gentiles, is believed in the world, is taken up in glory.” 1 Timothy 3:16 (DRB) The modern versions all remove the word “God” and substitute it with the word “He”, leaving you with a masculine being of some sort to contend with. Pure garbage, but the Catholics do worse. They take the “He” that modern versions reduced God to and substitutes it for the neuter “which”.

THE CATHOLIC CHURCH GAVE YOU ALL THE MODERN VERSIONS, AND THIS BOOK PROVES IT. CLICK TO ORDER!!

Christian, your Bible is under attack and the sooner you figure that out the better off you will be. This is not a matter of “King James Onlyism” as our opponents mockingly suggest, this is a war designed to rip God’s preserved word right out of your hands and replace it with cut-rate slop like the modern versions.
