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.

Compare the lyrics with God's Word and you'll be able to discern..Take care !!

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???

how 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 years 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 their 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!!!

I believe that their lyrics are centered toward the christian faith. most christian rock bands today aren't as adamant about revealing that they are, infact, a christian band BECAUSE of all the people who would purposely stop listening to them because of it. no one wants to be discriminated against.

think about it. if they can reach all of the people out there who aren't christians, in a way that speaks to them individually, don't you think those non-believers are going to be more likely to come to God?

all I'm saying is that it is possible that flyleaf is a christian band. however, none of us really know their hearts. only God knows. for all we know, they're either a christian band in disguise, trying to reach the hearts of people who are too stubborn to open up to the possiblity of something greater than them, OR they're a secular band, just trying to make it into the music business. afterall, it's a whole lot easier to make it into the "christian" music business. just ask Creed.

so whether or not they're a true christian band, really doesn't matter. if you find christ through their lyrics, then GREAT! if you don't, then hopefully someone else will come along to help plant that seed in your life. in the meantime, ENJOY THE MUSIC!!! it's good!

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!

I am christian and at church we were doign a study about christain bands and flyleaf is one of the bands we did and we learned the meaning behind the song all around me and it was totally christaian

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

They are. They've said they are. Their album jacket says they are. The Christian radio station that was playing "I'm So Sick" long before the secular radio stations got ahold of it, and blew Flyleaf into popularity, ALSO says they are.

Just like Switchfoot...

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
