I realize that syncretism is a very popular practice and philosophy today among many churches and individuals. The problem is that your comparison, unlike mine, fails to take into account that there are "meats full of poison" being sold in the music shackles of today. Partaking of such infected music can be injurious to one's mind, heart, and soul and in some cases, even fatal. It's only a matter of conscience, aka: Adiaphora when the item under consideration has been deemed "pure and good". Making one's personal preference the basis of choosing what one allows into one's mind is inherently flawed and cannot be defended from Scripture. However, what IS true is that one can learn much about a man by observing those things which he finds desirous and fulfilling in life. (cf. Prov 23:6-8; Matt 24:28)


2 Corinthians 6:14-18 (ASV) "Be not unequally yoked with unbelievers: for what fellowship have righteousness and iniquity? or what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what portion hath a believer with an unbeliever? And what agreement hath a temple of God with idols? for we are a temple of the living God; even as God said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore Come ye out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, And touch no unclean thing; And I will receive you, And will be to you a Father, And ye shall be to me sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty."

1 John 2:16 (ASV) "For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the vain glory of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world."

Revelation 18:4 (ASV) "And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come forth, my people, out of her, that ye have no fellowship with her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues:"
