Scripture tells us that we are to love one another. This love is agape love and is defined in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. Agape love is an action you show towards someone whether that person is nice or mean, friend or foe, Christian or lost, family or stranger.
There are two aspects to our relationships with people. One is the words we speak and the other is how we treat people.
In our relationships with people, hopefully, we will share the love of God with them by ministering to their need whether it be for salvation, helping to soothe their wounded spirit or whatever. God's Word says in 1 Cor 13:1 that if in sharing the love of God with people through our godly words if we do not show them agape love our words are like sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. The hearer of our words will just want to put their hands over their ears to keep from hearing us for the sounds of our words are wild, harsh, disturbing, repulsive and sometimes our words can't even be clearly heard by the hearer because they have become distorted.
We can conclude from this that if agape love, an action we show someone, is not present, then the words we speak no matter how godly they may be are nothing more than wild, harsh sounds that the hearer tries to block out and reject.
Godly words will not be received by the hearer if it is embedded in an ungodly action. The word-action relationship will not be godly but ungodly because godly words alone are not sufficient to make the relationship godly.
We are commanded to make melody in our hearts to God. The songs we sing we sing for God. But does He receive it? Will He receive a song that is ungodly?
No, of course not, because God is Holy and we are to be holy. If our song we sing to Him is not holy he will not hear it.
A song that is sung has two parts to it also. It has words and it has music. In order for the relationship between the two to be considered godly both parts have to be godly. The godly words have to be embedded in godly music before the song becomes godly just like the godly words spoken to someone in a relationship has to be embedded in a godly action for the recipient to receive the words.
Thus, if we want our song that we sing to the Lord to be received by Him then the godly lyrics we sing must be sung with music that is godly. If the music is not godly then God will not hear us because what we present to Him is polluted.
Adding clean water to dirty water will not make the water clean. Neither does adding godly words to ungodly music make a song godly.
Conclusion:
Secular rock music without the words is ungodly (demonic). Since Christian rock music is the same as the secular rock music then Christian rock music without the words is also ungodly (demonic). Adding godly words to ungodly music will not make the song godly. Thus, Christian Rock music is not godly.
