70000 Tons of Metal - The World's Biggest Heavy Metal Cruise

"some music was meant to stay underground..."

"Heavy Metal Church" In Colombia

Metal Injection has posted a bizarre video of a "heavy metal church" in Bogata, Colombia. Picture a Baptist church and replace the gospel with metal and you get the picture. You can watch the video below.

LOL DB, not to sure if you'd ask God's forgiveness about that though :)

"designed for devotees who want to express themselves through Heavy Metal."

Although the idea is odd to me, I guess that's sort of cool. I guess one would have to be into it to understand it. One would think the only way to express yourself while being with God is to be in a Christian Metal band of some sort (instead of a church), but not all people have Musical talent, so respects to those who get to express themselves in their own way there, for sure.

Haha the first thing i though of upon watching that was how great it would be if it were a Black Metal themed church. "Welcome to Church Demoncock, where we drink the blood of children and eat the body of un-kvlt conformists!!"

Metal is NOT my religion and faith - but GOD is....and Jesus Christ is the only way, truth and life......and metal is just a cool soundtrack to it all - when it's done to glorify God. If anyone says that christianity is lame or boring HAS NO CLUE to the life and power that Jesus Christ can give. If you want power over sin - Jesus is the only answer...''but as many as received Him, to them He gave the power to become the sons of God, those who believe in His name.'' John 1:12 kjv

C'mon Messenger, this was supposed to get a few laughs, but at the same time, let every one say "OK, that is kinda cool". The preaching gives way to snides from others and opens the "don't preach to me" door. I am an unashamed Christian, but I also like my metal kinda dark and dirty. I can be a good Christian, but at the same time listen to some face ripping metal. I don't dig the super Satanic stuff, but nor do I like the overly preachy stuff out there either. I like to hear The Word in church, not coming from my IPOD. Christians are supposed to be about embracing and understanding. To say that only Christian metal is the way, that itself makes you a hypocrite. C'mon brother.

I hate those bands who tries to wash the people brain just like the church does. f*** I suck at English if you knew Lithuanian then everything will be more simple. Thou we don't have any recordings yet cuz we don't have time and some of our band members lives too far from the others.

Jenny: I picked up on that right away. Rychemn said Metal was his religion and then some kooky moron spoted off his God propaganda. I also noticed the money going into the box as they passed it around. If i'm not mistaken, that is a staple of Christianity. I've never seen or even heard of a church that doesn't ask for money from it's worshipers. Some of them down here do quite well for themselves.

Blindgreed1: Yeah, that's why I said "most" just to drive the obvious across. I read all the posts, Messenger just took the whole thing seriously and said something he/she was bound to say, like in a few other posts I've seen from him/her. Which threw off the whole thing, as well as a few words from a few other people in response to messenger.

Oh and plus some people are saying this was supposed to be funny...am I missing something? This isn't a just for fun article, the whole thing is just different.

Messenger: Let's break this down shall we?

2 Corinthians Chapter 6 Verse 14:
"Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light in darkness?"

How dare you ask such a question of me when you are visiting the same website that the of us unrighteous people inhabit? Methinks that smacks of hypocrisy.

2 Corinthians Chapter 6 Verse 15:
" And what concord hath Christ with Belial or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel?"

Whoever said I believed what the rest of these people do? You assumed that I was an "infidel" because of my position on secular music. Your rush to judgement on the specifics of my faith leaves little doubt as to the validity of your commitment to The Word. As with all hypo-Christians, everyone who does not share the same belief as you, is automatically condemned. I don't know about you Messenger, but my God is a loving, understanding and forgiving God who would not ever hold the sins of my mortal frame against me in the face of repentence. I may not follow his word to the letter, but that is just part of what makes us human. My God accepts me because of my imperfections, not in spite of them.


Oh and Blind, my favorite color is green money in a black wallet.

it has been written about 300 hunderd years later afhter jesus died
so how can people have believe in something the same as the cartoon channel
its all based of facts
and believe me i did a study on the knight templers
the only thing they got killed by the vatican is the did dnow the real story about christianity their believe was concect the jews moslims and christians together but the vatican did not like that and took them out
they put them on the stake
so if people have believes why would the kill over it

hi wilco....i don t know where you got your info from - but the Bible isn't just 1 book - but a collection of 66 books written during a span of almost 2000 years by over 40 different authors....the last book written was Revelations dated apox. 65 to 95 A.D. There is nothing in the Bible that was written in the 2nd, 3rd or 4th centuries (and so on...) 'Those' later writings are called the (a)nostic gospels which were not written by jews or christians and were also rejected by the early church as heretical. The templars i don't know much about BUT the roman catholic church does NOT represent biblical christianity. In fact - even the protestant reformers considered the roman church to be the whore of revelations 17 and the throne of the pope as the seat of antichrist. hope this helps a little.
