Is listening to rap music a sin?

Answer 1

I like listening to hard rock too. It depends on the lyrics - what is the song about and would Jesus listen to it. If you want to feel more safe about this then you could listen to "Super Chick". It is hard music, but they are christian singers. As a Christian I feel that listening to rap music is a sin.First of all The Bible says that in whatever we do we should glorify God.Rap music with all of its violence and profanity does not glorify God.Secondly, as a Christian you should know that while an angel, Satan was the minister of music.Music was his talent.Why would he not use that to his advantage?Think about that the next time you are pop lock n droppin. Also for every sinful pasttime there is a Christian alternative.For an example, there are several great Christian rappers such as LeCrae, Trip Lee, Tedashii, Flame, etc. These are my favorite artists because their music sounds just like the music of Ludacris or Lil Wayne but instead of violence and material things, they rap the Gospel of Christ Jesus. I can't think of any place in the Bible where it says listening to music is a sin. If you think about it, rap music is like poetry because it usually has rythm and rhyme. The largest book in the Bible, Psalm, is made up of poetry. In addition, there is some Christian rap music. I can think of one Christian rapper off the top of my head. His name is KJ-52. There's more, but he's the only one I can think of rihgt now.

No, Rap isn't sin. All music was made to praise God. The world most of the rap bad. There are Christian rappers, such as LeCrae, Flame, TobyMac, Da T.R.U.T.H. and theres many more.
