And don't forget that a "Christian" band tries to sell you on the idea of Christ. Creed's not selling God, they are questioning religion and asking spiritual questions. There is a big diff.

Excellent point, Aimee!

"I cry out to God seeking only His decision, Gabriel stands and confirms I've created my own prison". -- Not saying we should all praise Him and do as He would have us do, but saying you make your own destiny, you control your own life. Christian bands would have you lift your hands to the Lord and do as He wishes and carry out His word. Creed does not preach that. You figure it out for yourself just as they say you interpret their lyrics as you think they are.

that is totally true

and wot is also true is wot Hottforscott is saying
u can have your own personal interpretations of each song
it may not always b the same as other ppls but wot u believe has importance

and no, Creed is not a chrostian band altho they do believe in the lord Jesus and his father, God.

but yea

Here's the difference...
If you are trying to talk your friend into eating some raw oysters, you would go on and on about all the good things like they're yummy or they feel great sliding down your throat or they're an aphrodisiac. Your friend may never eat raw oysters, but you love them, so you are going to keep trying to get them to try at least one. That's like trying to sell a certain belief. BUT your friend might come back and say, yeah, they smell good on that plate, but they look nasty. Or he'd say he would like to try one but he's heard that they could cause food poisoning. Now that's questioning your firmly held belief, right? So let's say your friend DOES try one and loves them but has an allergic reaction. He writes a love poem to Oysters that goes something like this...

Oh raw oysters, you're so fine.
I love you more than red red wine.
But when I eat you, every time,
I blow up like a whale in brine.
So watch out all you oyster lovers
cuz oysters made me turn to blubber.
Now I've had what I can't live without,
but eating them could give me gout.

Or something like that.
NOW that's an idea that makes ME go hmmm...
Maybe I should try oysters because this guy did and he really liked them. But in his experience, he became allergic. Wonder if that will happen to me? He talking about oysters in his poem, but he's not shoving them down my throat (like you were literally doing), but he's made me curious about the experience. It's questioning the yumminess of oysters, not saying that everyone should eat them.
Maybe this doesn't make any sense whatsoever. Oh well, I tried.

That was fantastic, Aimee!! Excellent analogy, and now I'm not sure if I'm hungry or horny.

Like the band members say, there are different things you can interpret from their lyrics. I personally, have found many of their songs spiritual...infact, God used their music to bring me closer to Him....but I think that there is a mixure of stuff in their lyrics....

Also, a lot of groups do not want to be labeled as a 'Christian Group' so that they will get non-christians to listen to their music as well....I don't think it is Creed's intent however, but who knows. Its just something to keep in mind.

I know in Sacrafice he`s talking about being reunited with Jesus after he almost killed himself in the song before,One last breath.Like me,I think he was a prodical son of the faith,and is just happy to return to his family.
