Are you a fan of Chris Tomlin Christian music?

[Alwayreckles93]

Chris Tomlin is an amazing Christian artist. He song come from his faith to Christ. I remember going threw a hard time this song came out how great is our God. I really felt God's presence.

[Exterminatore]

I don’t know any of his music. I’m not a fan of contemporary Christian music. It’s not an issue of what is in the songs, as most of it is pure, but rather most of it seems so bland to me.


I prefer traditional hymns in Latin and English.


This is one of my favorite songs:

The English lyrics are on the right. Compare the lyric content to the average contemporary Christian song. I feel like the lyrics to this song are thought out much better and are very deep compared to the typical contemporary Christian song.

[Alwayreckles93]

Well it was hard for me to understand.

[Alwayreckles93]

I mean hymn sounds peaceful.

[Exterminatore]

Yes. It’s in Latin. I understand it though lol

[Alwayreckles93]

Yeah lol I couldn't tell if it was Portuguese or Italian. But I couldn't understand a words lol

[Exterminatore]

Lol 😂

[Alwayreckles93]

I forgot to ask so you are now hable to speak Latin fluently?

[Exterminatore]

I wouldn’t say fluently. On a very basic level, I’m pretty good. But not on an advanced level. It will be years before I’m fully fluent. I can and do read entire books in Latin, periodically stoping to consult my dictionary when I come across a word I’ve never seen, but these are very basic books with basic vocabulary. I still have much to learn.

Tomlin has some decent songs, like "Awake My Soul" with Lecrae, but he is not really a great musician. In the genre I'd opt for someone like Phil Keaggy, a phenomenal guitar player with a good vocal range. Or the early albums by Joy Williams of the Civil Wars.

[Agape93]

Nope. Couldn't give less of a damn about yet another Christian musician. Yet another Christian who thinks they can write music well, gets adored again by Christians. It's an uninspiring dime a dozen piece of garbage. That's all it is.

I love Chris Tomlin! You should listen to Good Good Father and Is He Worthy. Those are great songs 😊

[Alwayreckles93]

Yes I loved listening on my way to work.

[Mansearching]

Never heard of him. Not really listen to Christian music. Just not informed.

[Alwayreckles93]

His an awesome singer you. I recommend him.

[OlderAndWiser]

I am not familiar with much that is labelled contemporary Christian music. My taste is with more traditional sacred music, such as

[BCRanger10]

Nope. Used to at one point, but not anymore.

[OnTheLevel]

Never heard of him.

[Staximus]

Sorry but I think he's terrible

[Hummertime]

LDS Hymns are better.

[loveslongnails]

I don't listen to Christian music.

[Luckheartnoble]

No never ever

[Alwayreckles93]

Why?

[Luckheartnoble]

Have you ever googled the word " unitarianism" ? I am interested in religions, but I suppose that Jesus never claimed he was a God in gospels.

[Mansearching]

@Luckheartnoble What he told the Jewish leaders after they asked him if he was Son of God, all Jesus said, "I am". That was it.

[Luckheartnoble]

@Mansearching This isn't a proof. Someone in the bible said also "I am" in gospels

[Mansearching]

That was Jesus

[Luckheartnoble]

@Mansearching One of them doesn't belong to Jesus
