Is flyleaf a christian band?

is flyleaf a christian band??

yea. but thats a genre. you can be alternative and christian. they have all these songs that have christian sounding lyrics

Flyleaf is an alternative rock band.

Flyleaf appears both on pop and Christian charts.

I guess it is one of those eye of the beholder kind of things.

noo way its not christian.

Yes. They are a Christian rock band.
:D

Maybe they maybe they aren't. Why does it have to become a holier than thou debate though? Such as amblessed comment, Compare the lyrics with God's Word and you'll be able to discern..

Maybe they are Christian people with good music with a decent message instead of what 90% of modern music doesn't have. It's because of comments like that etc. that I refuse to step into a church anymore for anything but a wedding or a funeral and even then I'm hardpressed to do it.

Personally I love their music, it sounds good and if it's Christian I don't hold it against them.

Are you saying that any song by any artist should be straight copied out of the bible? If so, half the worship songs shouldn't be used in churches or other meeting and most of the other half that are left shouldn't be played because they are depressing...

Just my $.02

It's funny how Christians always want to know if this band is in their camp. their minds are thinking The music is good but will Christ judge me on listening to them? I had the same question when I was approached by a radio exec pushing them as a Christian band. Truth be told. It's music and Jesus doesn't judge us according to our music taste, it's the lyrics and what we do with them . It's our heart. The real issue is we love the music but can't quite place the lyrics. Enjoy the group and just keep your walk in line with the Holy Spirit.

xenos, you said: Why does it have to become a holier than thou debate though? Such as amblessed comment, 'Compare the lyrics with God's Word and you'll be able to discern..'

I came at it from a position of what I know to be FACT - don't know how you read into it 'holier than thou' - I'm just a sinner like we all are but a sinner who has been 'forgiven' by the grace of God / sins covered by the blood on the cross - simple: every person will either accept or reject Him...your choice...wish you the best !!

You say I'm just a sinner like we all are... What makes a person a sinner? What makes a person not worthy of Gods love? Thepoint I'm getting at is that a lot of Christian people tend to be in this dreamworld lala land living in a little bubble.

I used to go to church, I did 3 years of bible college, I was youth leader for 8 years plus a student leader for the last 2 years of highschool. I was living a lie, to me. I saw so much hypocracy in church and in the christian circle it was disgusting. I got tired of it.

I met a girl at the end of summer a few years ago, helped her find her dog and asked if I could take her for coffee. We ended up going for dinner and becoming great friends. Some of my christian friends had met her on occasion, one in particular had gone with his wife and us and some others for dinner a few times. In November of that year I found out she was an exotic dancer one night a week. When I informed my friend of this, he$ asked if I was going to still be friends with her, I said Of course. He got out of my car 20 km's from his house and walked home. He would not get back in my car. The next day he I can't be your friend if your going to be friends with people like her. Real Christlike. He was on the search committee for a Sr. pastor for the church at the time, and has since been elected an elder. He ruined my name in the church by telling people that I was dating a stripper, which i wasn't and that i was a regular at stripclubs and that I would probably recruit 18 and 19 yr old girls to be strippers if I had the chance.

I wonder, What Would Jesus Do???

Hw would probably be her friend as well.

Personally, in my own experience, I think the Bible, which so many people spend their life studying is nothing more than a semi decent story book.

I can't say I don't believe in God, I'm here right. I don't think I'm freakin stardust. I just don't have much faith in an entity that i cannot see, hear, smell etc. In all my yrs of studying the bible, praying learning more and more about the religion of Christianity, I never once heard the voice of God. I got tired of waiting.

What makes you think the bible is FACT?

Whether this band is christian or not, why should it matter?

YES!!! it is a christian band. you can find thier cd in christian stores, they are very open about being christians and they even performed at aquire the fire which is aimed for non-christians to get them on fire for God. i went and it was amazing!!!

In their song 'supernatural' heaps of people perceived it as a song about god being so fantastic. But I took it as them saying god is a waste of time. Hm, I guess it depends on your beliefs. I'm sure christians would take the song one way, whereas me being an athiest, I took it a different way. Type them into google I'm sure you'll find out!

well they dont like to be labled but they are a band full of christians and right a lot of inspirational songs.

why does it matter, christian or not the music rocks and its not like playing marilyn manson or anything. they don't have any curses in lyrics and why put a label on a great band anyway just enjoy the music for what it makes you feel. the christians didn't invent music but definitely gave us something to sing about. to be honest I think you can call any band that doesn't curse and doesn't sing about things that involve sin christian even if it doesn't mention anything holy or sacred or preachy. music is music and its how it makes you feel after listening to it for me than the lyrics themselves. one thing that does wig me out though is christian metal. metal was started on 3 fundamental chords which were stated to be evil or from evil source/s. if you want to question anything it would be that there's books written on that stuff. STOP QUESTIONING THE MUSIC BUT MORE THE MOTIVE IS WHAT YOU SHOULD WORRY ABOUT. labels are for intellectuals that have nothing better to do.

I dont think they are...
I guess it depends on how you interpret the lyrics

Yes They Are. Ima A Huge Flyleaf Fan. I Seen Them In Concert At Creation Which Is A Christian Festival. Yes They Are A Christian Band.

not at all; Flyleaf is an alternate metal band

nothey are not a christian band but most to them are christians

flyleaf is not a christian band

I was downloading Christian songs off of limewire to kind of add to my archive of music because after listening to some songs for so long - no matter how good they are - they all start to sound the same. I had heard that Flyleaf was a Christian band but I had also heard that they were a non-Christian band. When I did a search for it I stumbled across this discussion and read along ... There has been a lot of thought put into this – that’s for sure - and I just wanted to put in what I know and think ... It does matter if a band is Christian or not to the Christians who are serious enough to read into it deep enough. If a Christian person writes a song and lets a secular band play it what kind of effect will it put on someone spiritually? Of course some people will roll their eyes at me when I say that but it is something that a serious Christian should be concerned about. Yes the lyrics are the most important part but what if the band is just trying to be deceptive and get more attention by being appealing to the Christian music people and everyone else who might have a problem with that kind of music. Think about it, all of you people have spent so much time and thought on whether this band is Christian or not you now couldn't forget their name if you tried ... or people who were undecided before are now encouraged to find out for themselves ... so now everyone listens to it for one reason or another ... WOW ... THAT'S AMAZING ADVERTIZING ... What if Flyleaf is trying to stand on both sides of the fence so they can be popular with more than one crowd?

Revelation 3:16
15: I know your [record of] works and what you are doing; you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were cold or hot!
16: So, because you are lukewarm and neither cold nor hot, I will spew you out of My mouth!

If they are Christian then they can't argue with that ... that is Gods word saying that he’d rather have you one way or the other than undecided because it makes him sick and want to spit you up out of Him ... ...

I have found out nothing about Flyleaf except that they might be a group that could help me along with my Christian walk. I don't go around and listen to choir music all the time but I do try to think, will this help or hurt? ... When someone sits down and thinks about it that's the only two things that anything can do with your walk with God. It's like standing on an icy hill ... you can either work forward and carry things that can help your climb or you can load yourself down with things that will either directly hinder your accent or will accumulate and slow you down to a stop then a backslide... I'm not saying that listening to a non-Christian group will make you backslidden but several choices like that or a mindset saying that it's ok will. ... ... I'd like to say one more thing to the person who said that they had gone to church for a long time, was a youth leader, and went to Bible collage for a while... May God help you ... I know He extends His mercy and grace to the ill-informed but you know what's right and I hope you have time to get your act together. There may be flaws in you, in people around you, in your pastor, in your church, and maybe even in your denomination but God Himself never has a flaw... ... ... ... I am part of a denomination that some people call radical because we have standards and forms of worship that other people see as to much. When I am talking to any of my friends that don't believe the same way I do about God and church I always tell them that they have to always take the next step to get closer to Him. When it comes down to it they probably know what they should or should stop doing in order to get closer to Him but are reluctant to take that step because it might be inconvenient to there flesh so they ignore it. ... Lots of people go through life with the label (CHRISTIAN) but never follow the word of God to a depth that a person who has been apart of it their entire life should. They can be as far away from God as the worst person imaginable and have it worse off because they don't even know it. … Sorry I know I’m long winded, I hope this helps somebody.

I was wrong they are a christian band. I looked it up.

I went and listened to some of their songs and not all of their lyrics are writen down ... at least not on yahoo music lyrics ... I might just be paranoid but that is strange ...
