John_C said: The initial time was when my Bible study teacher was explaining that Christianity is 'all of life' (my wording) and there really is no such thing as Christian music, etc. Everything is done for the glory of God. Those who separated the sacred from secular in conceptualizing their Christianity are using platonic reasoning. I think that your teacher is wrong on two counts: 1) There is definitely a difference between "Christian music" and "Secular music". In fact this can be said about many things where the item in question is not of the natural creation but rather it is a product of man. There is certainly a difference again between "Christian education" and "Secular education"... catch my drift here, Snowbank? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> 2) Likewise, and this would simply be an extension of #1, there is a difference between the "Sacred" and the "Secular". The Bible is rife with admonitions to "be not of this world" (cf. Jh 15:19; 17:14, 15; Col 2:8, 20; Jam 4:4; 1Jh 2:16). See also: The New Pragmatism, by James Boice. In His grace,
