Man, do ya'll really not see the symbolism in the bible? It's not to be taken verbatim!! Argh this is so frustrating when mufukkas post quotes straight from the bible to prove something is true, but TOTALLY miss the symbolic nature in which the story is being told, lol.
Ok, so we know the story of Lucifer and we pretty much have an idea of how music impacts us....Lets apply the symbolism to modern day life and actually draw a conclusion, teach a lesson, make a parallel or something! Quit with all the fear mongering and literal takes, its symbolism.
So Lucifer was covered in stones, reflecting the light of God so people bowed...blah, blah, blah...he got big-headed, thought he was on the same level as God...God was not amused.
Modern day musical equivalent..."nikka yeah you might be shining, but you ain't the sun"
Moral of the story (Artist's Perspective)....If you make music, and your fans adore you, never lose sight of the fact that what they adore is the God
in you and not you yourself. No matter how big of a star you are, you ain't the
Sun.
Moral of the story (Worshiper/Fan's Perspective)...Appreciate the fact that you may recognize the God within someone you hold highly, but however it makes you feel, just know that they ain't God, so don't treat them like they're God.
The story of Lucifer is more about us than it's about Lucifer or a Devil or a Satanic being, but that's where we always get caught up cuz we don't recognize our own power. It can be applied to anything we "worship", not just music
