Question What is God's judgement on musical artist that did not use their talents for God but maximizes their talent fully?

Does anyone have an answer!?

Case study 1: Michael Jackson, Chris Brown, Beyonce.

Those 3 artists have outdone themselves multiple times and I can day they wouldn't have been able to go so far if they decided to only be Christian artist. Any time I listen to any of this 3, I can't but be in awe of how much talent this guys posses. The 3 of them can keep releasing albums till they grow old and can't move. It will still outsell the new artists.

Case study 2: Hillsong Australia and worldwide, Sinach, Mercy chinwey.

Hillsong so far as a group has been able to produce some really great music that even a radical atheist can listen to and be inspired, but they did this as a group and not an individual. Sinach has also been global but so far she hasn't maxed out her talent. Mercy chinwe on the other hand has done so well in Nigeria but isn't close to what a global music would be.


So I keep wondering how God will judge people, because we are asked to use our talent and if we only focused on the gospel of Jesus, that means we *may not be able to maximize those talents. This is a question and not a statement.

Case study 3: Artist who left the Church to Secular music.

As a Christian, how are these artist going to be judged? They are actually using their talents to the full potential.

Judging the world is going to be a confusing task

1. None! Jesus Christ never commanded anyone to sing songs using His Name. So every one of those who insist that they sing to you using the Name of Jesus Christ is actually a liar.

2. Jesus Christ will only judge the sheep and the goats in His Kingdom based on the criteria specified in His Gospel — Matthew 25 vs 31 - 46. He made this very clear to you from almost 2000 years ago.

One question, are you a Christian?

I am asking respectfully because I have seen sometime last year where you claim not to be one.

1. I am a follower of Jesus Christ meaning that rather than follow your pastors and mogs— the religion of Christianity—, I instead get my teachings directly from the mouth of Jesus Christ, and as a result, I live my life instead in continuous submission and obedience of His teachings and commandments, God's Law and Covenant in the Kingdom of God.

Thanks, so your answer is NO. Thanks for your input.

1. Jesus Christ clearly warned His followers to steer clear of the religions of men — the doctrines and traditions of men(and their churches) — which He said were lies meant to deceive and delude many away from following the Truth of God. So, No, I don't believe nor follow the religion of men. I follow Jesus Christ instead and Jesus Christ never gave any man permission to sing songs using His name.

The purpose of Christianity is not to factor out God's judgement on anyone. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling.

Do you even understand my question at all? I really doubt if you read the post at all, you only read the title. I am very sure.

I am asking regarding the usage of talents. The earlier reply answered even more better.

I should have asked this question on Reddit, I made a big mistake by coming here.

Just because I did not give the answer you wanted does not meanI did not read your post. If you wanted s particular answer, you could have called a particular person to answer your question.

No, the question was simple. I wasn't placing judgemebt on anyone. I was asking what God thinks regarding those type of artist and talent given.

Kobojunkie who commented earlier actually answered well and gave me scriptures to read.

You just came and dropped nonsense even though you never read a word of what I wrote, I am 100 percent sure you didn't read anything.

Jeez! Nairaland people don't really have sense like that.

So you get responses tailored to your particular delusion of choice as opposed to the actual truth of Jesus Christ?

You were asking what God thinks can you imagine. And now you begin to insult Nairaland people. Some of you have strong problems.

Kobojunkie:

No, I didn't challenge your answer at all but I went to read that passage of the Bible. The other guy was accusing me of passing judgement. I am asking what God thinks, and not passing judgement.

It is like asking what God thinks of Gay people? Have I passed any judgement by asking?

If I asked this question on Reddit, I will get sensible answers, I am very sure and they don't have to agree with anything I am saying.

If people cannot answer simple questions. Then why ask question in such a baseless forum. I asked if you were a Christian and you were also rambling instead of saying NO.

Where on Reddit would you get sensible answers? Why do you conclude that Nairaland is baseless?

I always get sensible answers on Reddit to any questions asked.

The site is awesome. I once had an heartbreak and asked how to navigate the issue, I got great responses & it worked for me.

Your question is thought provoking indeed but it will require thorough meditation on what the scriptures say. So if you don't mind should i join in the on going discussion?

I am Maximus one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Yes I dont mind, thank you

Kelechi009:

You're welcome!

God in His majesty has singers (Seraphs) making sweet melodious tunes for His pleasure in heaven. Isaiah 6:2
When King Saul was tormented by a wicked spirit it was the sweet melodious tunes from David's harps that's used to bring a relief to the King. 1Samuel 16:14-23

So music is good for our soul.
But then we shouldn't forget that the best of the best singers are perfect living beings called "angels" these creatures are highly gifted singers. Sadly a handful of them rebelled against God in heaven and they were driven away from his presence. Their gifts weren't taken from them so who will they please with their gift now that they've been driven away from their dirty posts in heaven? 1Peter 3:19-20; 2Peter 2:4; Jude 6

Well they love singing so they possessed certain humans afterwards that's why when some humans sing you will feel it in your soul.

But does this mean all music are demonic?

NO! As a Christian you need to be selective in your choice of music that's exactly what makes it difficult for most people to escape Satan's trap because many of those demons have transformed themselves into angels of light {2Corinthians 11:14} so they sing praises of Jesus as if they're working for him but don't forget that when they were doing so in Jesus' presence he silenced them! Luke 4:41 compare to Act 16:17-18

So if you don't know God's will it will be really difficult to distinguish between demonic songs and songs composed from the hearts of gifted humans who are just talented.

That's why Jehovah's Witnesses don't listen at all to any song called "gospel" rather we prefer the normal secular music that's all about dancing and merriment.


Don't be blindfolded all musicians are singing for money {Matthew 6:24} so none is singing for God!

What's your interest in this area especially as you mentioned Hillsong with Michael Jackson? I think I have an idea but speak plainly what do you have in mind?

My interest is that, for those who utilize their talent effectively even if they don't do it for the purpose of God, would they be judged for that by God?

1. One on hand, they completely fulfilled their purpose EG Michael Jackson, Beyonce & Chris Brown.
2. On the second hand, they are secular musicians who sing about Sex, Wild life etc

If I want to become a secular artist just like Beyonce, would I be judged for that.

Wow, this perspective is what I never thought about

Thanks

I would still go back & read your post all over again, so many things to unpack. I am currently in transit.

That is why you jws are devils for every Christian knows that The Law of God is Pureness of Spirit and Holiness in Truth.

Thus, we know any pure music which raises up our spirits to remember The Lord to worship Him and give Him praise as we remember that in Truth we are recipients of His goodness and kindness and mercies, is definitely acceptable to Him.

And as David Said, "the dead do not praise you" and cannot praise Him which is what you and your jws have proven.

Thus, it is immaterial that the singers earn from it. That is their own business.


8.And the Bible did say that "whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

9 Those things, which he have both learned, and received and heard and seen in me, DO: Philippians 4:8/9

God has said not one idle word would go unjudged, Mathew 12:36.

Thus, it is everything under the sun that is under the scrutiny of Judgement.

Kelechi009:

Ehen, I thought so.

Yes you would be judged.

So if you fear God, then fear Him a lot for His Commandment is that you must do only that which is tight and good according to His Own Measurement.

Thus, if you are going to sing, you have to make sure that it is not something that corrupts and stirreth a hearer to go and sin eg "I'll make love to you, sexual healing, I fuq a hoe and throw her out the door with no doe."

Maybe you can sing a song like "you gat to know when to hold up, know when to fold up, know when to walk away,..." Maybe you would not be in trouble here.
