This has been an on-going debate for years. I think that the ‘Christian-ness’ of instrumental music can only be determined by the intent of the composer, since the notes and time signatures are neutral in and of themselves.

Naturally, this all goes out the window if the composition is titled, “God Killers” or the equivalent – in that case, I think common sense takes over. Still, I’ve been moved by the beauty of certain instrumental music created by people who I know were not Spiritually motivated.
