I have heard some radical thinkers say music is evil. So is the Bible if it's used wrongly. Apparently God must have thought highly of music since it is referenced over 1150 times through out the Bible. I wrote a book called the contemporary movement of the Wac - o - stolics it's about how the Bible has been misrepresented through religion by Waco's. Shoot me , I said it. God love's music and even say's we will be jamming in Heaven. Maybe not jamming, but doing a lots of singing. Sing unto the Lord, make a joyful noise unto the Lord.; just a couple of verses mentioned in the Bible.
