Instead, we need to motivate our creative young people to put the message of the Bible into the forms of the computer generation. It would be much simpler if some musical sounds were evil in themselves. Just eliminate the evil sounds and the entire moral problem in music would be solved. In reality, however, things are far more subtle. The morality or immorality of the sounds needs to be located in the hearts of the composer, the performer, and the listener, not in the music itself.
Music is neutral, like language, mathematics, or painting.
But in the hands of an individual, the way that it is used becomes right or wrong. The same English words that produced the King James Version ere also used to write Lady Chatterly's Lover. Music, likewise, can be used by a musician to lift our eyes toward heaven or to lose our lives in hell. If music is neutral with the morality rooted in the message the artist intends to convey rather than the form itself, there is no such thing as a particular satanic sound. But there is a snake in the grass, shouting and whispering his deceitful message.
