It's just good to hear that listening to certain types of music is not wrong,

Of course, you do realize that to accept that statement as "truth", once must of necessity prove that music is "morally neutral". And to accept that as true, one could argue that ANY music is "good" depending upon a given situation, e.g., heavy metal cannot be criticized as being "evil" but rather that which also glorifies God. It then becomes simply a matter of "taste" which a professed Christian is free to listen to as long as it doesn't detract from his faith in Christ.

Think on this:

Premise 1:

God created music,
therefore music is good.
Punk Rock is music,
therefore, Punk Rock is good.

Let's substitute something which we KNOW is immoral in the place of 'music' and see if this alleged "logic" works,

Premise 2:

God created sex,
therefore sex is good.
Homosexuality is sex,
therefore homosexuality is good.

Hmmmmmm, the "logic" doesn't appear to work!

In His Grace,
