Sola Melodica exists to uncover a glimmer of God in the art form of music. We focus primarily on hard rock, metal, punk, alternative, and occasionally outlaw country.
Good News and Bad News
Typically people want the bad news first.
The bad news is that we are all sinners. You are a sinner and I am a sinner. God’s creation was perfect. Our original ancestors, Adam & Eve, had direct access to God. He visited them and they would hang out together.
God is perfect and He created a perfect people.
Sadly, sin entered this perfect creation through an act of rebellion. That one act of rebellion threw everything into chaos. Immediately, they were cognizant of their sin. They worked to cover their nakedness and began to pass blame.
A curse entered the earth and now every person born would be born under that sinful curse.
Many people will argue that at least they are not Hitler or Stalin. Most of us are not serial killers! We’re in relatively decent shape, or so we think.
It’s not that simple, though.
As Steve Taylor wrote in his song Jesus Is For Losers, “They don’t grade here on a curve, we both know what we deserve.”
I am guilty of sin and you are guilty of sin. “What sin?” you ask. Lying, stealing, envy, lust, the list goes on and on. Each of which knocks us off of our “pedestal” of perfection.
If we boil this down to a court session we would be proven guilty. The prosecutor would present indisputable evidence of our misdeeds and transgressions.
Our good works don’t offset our sin.
Plus, there is no statute of limitations on our sin.
Justice demands recompense. The verdict would be swift and the judgment severe.
The Good News
God had a plan all along. True justice could not ignore these iniquities and transgression. The penalty had to sufficiently cover every sin that was committed in the past and any sin that would be committed in the future.
Yes, all of them.
As soon as the original sin (thanks Adam & Eve) was committed God put His plan into motion.
Jesus, the only begotten Son of God, came to earth sinless and perfect. He lived His life free of sin and transgression. He healed the sick, raised the dead, fed the hungry, and loved fearlessly.
He was the perfect sacrifice for our sin. A lamb without spot or blemish was sentenced to die a brutal death on our behalf.
Jesus was tortured without mercy. He was mocked, spat upon, cursed, and deserted by His friends. The beating, according to Isaiah, was so ghastly that He could not be recognized as a human (Isaiah 52:14). He died a horrific death, gasping for air, nailed to a cross.
His death was only one part of the redemption story. The best part was death could not keep Him. He defeated death and conquered hell.
It’s written, “He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised to life for our justification” (Romans 4:25).
The resurrection did not transpire until justification (justice), in the eyes of God, was achieved. The punches, whipping, cursing, crown of thorns, nailing, and betrayal were for you and were for me.
What Jesus endured was more violent and appalling than anything Quentin Tarantino could envision.
The price for our sins has been paid. There is no double jeopardy in the Kingdom of God. Our sin is judged in Christ.
That, my friend, is Good News!
What’s our part to play in this Gospel plan? Not much, actually.
We acknowledge that we’re sinners and in need of a savior. We recognize that we’re incapable of saving ourselves and need a rescuer. We repent of our sin and ask God for forgiveness. We accept the atoning sacrifice and redemption that is found only in Jesus Christ.
I recommend that you look up Psalm 51 and read it. It’s about a man who committed adultery and then had the husband murdered to cover his sin. His heartfelt and sincere prayer just might be the inspiration you need to form your own prayer to God.
Everyone who calls on the Name of the Lord will be saved!
Lights! Camera! Silence on the set! Thanks for stopping by! Love the thumpin' bass in this song.
Well you just showed up on my queue reacting to one of my all time favorite bands. I saw them live twice circa 1990.
recommendations.... Certainly "Creeping Death" by Metallica
"Jesus Built My Hot Rod" and "Psalm 69" by Ministry
oh and...."Paper And Fire" by John Mellencamp.
@@tomchesley2604 Creeping Death is scheduled for tomorrow. I'm unfamiliar with the songs by Ministry. I will check the lyrics and add them to the list. I'm intrigued by the Hot Rod one for sure! Paper and Fire? I'm vaguely familiar with that one and will need to listen to it again. Mellencamp's art display at the R&R Hall of Fame in Cleveland is UH-Mazing.
Jesus Built My Hot Rod is kind of a silly song without many discernable lyrics. It just has Jesus in the title. Psalm 69 is kind of an anti religion song also I forgot Stigmata by Ministry.
For a more up lifting song you can check out Rivers of Babylon. There's a couple versions of it but I prefer The Melodians version.
There's two kinds of people in this world....Those that like John Mellencamp and those that don't. 8^)
the song is a direct dig on TV mega churches... specifically Jim and Tammy Baker and IMHO it's pretty dead on accurate
Yea, they called them out specifically in the song. I believe I addressed that in the video (it's been awhile though). Sadly, there is a ton of truth in the lyrics. Thanks for sharing!
I thank that you as a Reverend for actually listening and understanding.
This is Joel Olsten's favorite song.Fleece the sheep and build a mega church.All in the name of God.
Yikes.
Joel is a piece of work to say the least.
As an 80s kid, this band was kind of underground but brought truth to social issues of the time.. this song still rings true to modern televangelist..greed and bribery for false promises.. I really appreciate your perspective as someone from a different religion
Atheist here with some biblical knowledge, seeing you correctly address issues with (less trustworthy) other men of the cloth, and you've nailed it. You have my subscription.
thanks for subscribing, Patrick!
I been born and raised in the Church but am against organized Religion while still believing in Christ. Too many false prophets hiding behind Religion. I can see how you can be an atheist and respect your beliefs man.
You don’t strike me as the kind of cat they were addressing in this (that is a complement). If you look at when it came out, I bet you can guess who they were talking to.
I ran away when they demanded 10% of my salary... + an offering? I ain't no sucker. Finding spirituality outside of church was the best thing I have every done
Just so you know, not all believe in the 10% + concept. Thanks for commenting - blessings.
Just because somebody goes to church does not mean they are religious. It just means they go to church.
Those lines are decades old and still fits the churches reason #1
No argument from me on that, sadly.
My wife grew up in a Pentecostal church. It was screwed into her head that you MUST give 10%. Or the lake of fire MADE by god , is where you will go.
I've heard many pastors encourage people to give money they need , to help people they don't know.
Yes, there has been some damage done.
"Oh yeah, they come out swinging. " This guy gets it. And if you wants to see heavens door, it cost $5 million, not $5 hundred.
I’m the 70s and 80s televangelists were a big thing. They always wanted you to send them money. There we’re unfortunately people who fell for this a lot.
Money isn’t evil, religion is. Yes, all of them.
Anything can be evil depending on the purpose for its use. I don't think religion is generally evil. It's the people who use it for evil purposes that make it so.
Religion is dangerous because it trains you to be gullible. You're conditionned from birth to accept a narrative without critical thinking and fact checking, to blind acceptance without questionning. Critical thinking, and pointing incoherences, is seens as the word of the devil, or something similar, that you should never do.
This right there, is the basics of brainwashing : make someone forbid himself from questionning the validity of what they think to be true, and they'll try to rationalize away any cognitive dissonance to the point of insanity in order to defend their beliefs and make other people accept them as truth.
The whole point of any (organized) religion is to brainwash a population so they can live by pumping money from the pockets of their sheeps.
As a society forming tool, religions have played a big role in the past. But today, this tool is obsolete, and still only exists to ransom gullible people and push their own detrimental angenda for the profit of a small cynical minority.
I just subscribed.
I am the 66th subscriber....metal horns.... !..!
Too funny!! Welcome, and thank you!
If you're looking to continue on the money theme, try Leper Messiah by Metallica
thanks! That one has been mentioned a few times. I will definitely add it to the list.
Check out "Bullet the Blue Sky" by U2. "Well, the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister."
You should also listen to IMHO, the greatest metal religious song, Creeping Death, by Metallica
that is a PHENOMENAL song!
I just finished reacting to that one and it's scheduled for midnight on 3/27.
Iron Maiden - 2 minutes to Midnight, Revelations :) ALL GOOOOOOD \m/
Within the past decade, a "Mega Church" pastor passed away, with a net worth of a million plus!!!!!!!!!!!
Check out "The Mission" by King's X which questions the church and money. thanks
Sounds great, thank you. I used to listen to Kings X back in the day (and loved them) but don't recall that song. Will have to go back and check it out.
Much respect to you and your message from this atheist. You rightly make the distinction between self-motivated giving and the repulsive, manipulative message of the prosperity gospel preachers. You even mention indulgences -- the remission of one's own sins, or the sins of dead relatives, in exchange for money by which, among other things, the entirety of St. Peter's Basilica in Rome was financed -- and that the practice was discontinued in the Reformation (I would add, by pressure from secular society, not internal reform within the Catholic Church).
thanks, David. Don't be a stranger.
Played this in my 90’s religion class. The nun, who ran the class not a teacher, lost her shit. Grabbed me by the ear, said I was going to the office. No joke. Needless to say, I was back in class three days later.
Side bar, being raised by actual teachers, putting hands on a student big foe paw. I did protect myself 😂. Broken nose, dislocated shoulder, and a comfy pension. Th s by the Catholic Church.
I was expelled, no lies, better off for it.
Suicidal, bad religion, etc spoke so much truth.
I’m not religious, just see people as energy, wave lengths,. Jimmy and Tammy, stole so much money, and got away with it, let that sink in. Never mind jimmy swaggart,.
FYI Suicidal Tendancies STILL GOIN STRONG....puttting society in its place....as it should be in the world of METAL \m/.
nice, will check it - thanks.
World of metal, that's funny 🤣
I'm no longer a Christian...an apostate, if you will. I'll just say if more Christians had your perspective & common sense, maybe I'd rethink my views on Christianity. Probably not, bc of how I feel & my own life experiences...but I'd certainly be a little less "venomous" at times. I don't fault people who are Christians or hate them. I simply don't believe the way they do. Everyone expected me to be the next great evangelist...I'm obviously not. My mother is & her works PROVE she is...she doesn't have to say it. And I hope there is a heaven bc she certainly deserves it. I won't join her there, ofc, but for HER faith & belief, I want it to be true for her. Really liked your reaction, sir
THIS IS ONE OF GODS TRUTHS
what is one of God's truths?
My band covers this song and I love to play it. At the time the song was released, the tele-evangelsists were running rampant all over. I beleive this song is in protest of those tele-evangelsists and how fake they all are. Money grubbing Hippocrates. From my perspective, Jesus loves me no matter if i give him my 10% or not. I pay myself first and foremost. If I have anything left after all is said and done, then I'll give. I dont need to go to church or watch some fake on TV in order to beleive.
Good song and commentary
thanks Crimson!
it's about TV Evangelicals.
I got a quote for you.
Take it how you want.
"Give what you can, when you can."
I like it. thanks for sharing.
Well the ones with mony in the old days were buiried in the church...the richer the more to the front of the altar..
interesting. I was not aware of that. Old days? Like pre-reformation?
This song is a similar topic as the Meatmen's God Bullies
I've not heard that song or heard of that band. Need to give it a listen.
REV 7:18 a Bunch of Hocus Pocus ... :) Luv that and leads perfectly into a Video you should react to and 'Insane Clown Posse - Hellalujah : The Great Milenko Album (Choice Language Advisory)... and in date with Suicidal Tendencies... DEATH - Spiritual Healing from Spiritual Healing Album \m/ enjoy :)
Favorite Faygo flavor? Rock and Rye.
Holy Wars Megadeth
You can try GG ALLIN next
The last line of lyric change the meaning.
This song is so true, all pastors and preachers are conmen in my humble opinion.
Wow. All? I definitely disagree with you on that point but I agree that far too many are coloring outside of the lines. thanks for the contribution.
@@SolaMelodica Yeah All, I don’t believe a god exists so these pastors and preachers are just selling a fake cure for a fake illness (original sin). If these preachers didn’t get paid for doing it, it would certainly add some credibility to their magical stories. 👍
@@shifterbbr1986 But given the premise that God is real they are not all conmen. And even given the premise that there is no God, if they genuinely believe in God and the word of Jesus, then they would still not be conmen. A conman attempts to trick people, but if its their genuine belief, regardless of the truth, then they are not attempting to trick people but rather benefit people.
This guy is so full of it he is back peddling to protect his fellow scammers, I've been to a friend of mine church and the pastor knows who gives what, and he pays a great deal more attention to those who give the most
Perhaps some act in that manner but not all. Name calling...seriously? You're better than that John.
You don't look like a Headbangers Ball with Ricky Rackman kind of Guy.
Question Why is God so Bad with money, he needs more?
it should be handled internally...lol
It's hard to hear the Church being condemned, but as a believer, it's harder to see us tolerate the wolves in our midst. It's His house, but it's our job to keep it clean.
Totally agree. I believe that we are doing a better job in this area. Still other areas but we will continue until THAT DAY.
that sentiment is very comforting to us heathens!
A men.
Yoooo mate… you’re reading from the book… you think God wrote this? Hahahaa lol it’s aaaall man made mate.. even these words in that book. It has been amended how many time old and new! Aaaaall man made just think about it. All knowing all powerful… just some how he is very bad with money and he need more…. Send me some money anyway. Lol
you look like one lol.
Jesus wants his 10% of any UA-cam revenue you earn...
You got jokes. You're busting my side. Jesus never wanted 10% and still doesn't. Amazing that you came up with that number...
I contend that churches requiring money should be the least of focuses; the fact that Christianity results in the suffering and deaths of scores of people should be in the spotlight. For shame.
can't disagree with you. it appears that churches, in many instances, are a cottage industry. not sure about the suffering and deaths now though. yes, many centuries ago that was the case but I am not sure if I follow you on the modern scene.
@@SolaMelodica Christianity has lost it's ability to rule by the spear, but many women experience oppression due to the "submit to your husbands" verses, many LBGTQ people are harassed and commit suicide due to religious bullying by family and peers, and around 100 baby boys die each year in the US alone due to circumcision complications. Without the bible verses that encourage this behavior, these deaths and suffering would not exist.
the bible is also ok with slavery so..............................
Okay, you're wrong so.............
People using religion to get rich? Nah that never happens.😂
Mike ain't talking about the bible... he's talking bout the bible snakes.... there are many
Well obviously...
