It doesn't matter how many people disagree with you, what matters is that you put the Bible first. That is humility.

So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.
Does rock music glorify God? The majority, no. The one or two who appear to, thanks but I prefer traditional Christian music, not some devilishly influenced garbage.
1 John 3 talks about how Yahweh's people cannot sin because their seed is in them. Sure, we make mistakes but we do not create sin. Putting bad lyrics to great music is a mistake. The music itself though can simultaneously glorify God by demonstrating the talents of His people.
Ephesians 5:19
Addressing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody to the Lord with your heart
Rock is hardly spiritual. The only real arguement you have is that you like it and choose to use it. Well we can't all be talented musicians; the talent go for classical the rejects do rock or pop.
No Nico. We do have arguments. You're just denying that they are arguments because YOU don't like it.
2 Corinthians 6:17
Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome you
Touch no unclean thing, be separate. Love not the world, nor the things that are in the world.
A valid argument against bad lyrics. I hate bad lyrics that's why I ignore them when they come from otherwise talented White musicians.
Proverbs 17:4
An evildoer listens to wicked lips, and a liar gives ear to a mischievous tongue
The lyrics are evil, makes no difference if it is spoken or sung.
Not sure how many times you have to be told that we aren't listening to the lyrics.
Ezekiel 33:32
And behold, you are to them like one who sings lustful songs with a beautiful voice and plays well on an instrument, for they hear what you say, but they will not do it.
You didn't comment on this one. I'll have to go and look at the context.
Ephesians 5:6
Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.
Empty words, singing garbage and vain babble.
Already addressed.
Amos 5:23
Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen
Yes Amos was referring to the good music of the day; so how would Yahweh feel about the modern rubbish.
I think Amos was referring to the rap noise of his day. The popular music of his day. Most popular music today, what you hear coming from open car windows, in shopping malls and at sporting events is rubbish. That's not what we are talking about. You know that Nico.
I'll address more as time permits.

2 Timothy 3:1-4
But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, l
John 3:19
And this is the judgment: the light has come into the world, and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their works were evil.
People loved the darkness, rock is darkness and evil, yet Christians still love it despite it doing nothing for the kingdom
Jude 1:18
They said to you, “In the last time there will be scoffers, following their own ungodly passions.”
Passions for rock music; rock is ungodly, therefore an ungodly passion.
believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
1 Thessalonians 5:19-23
Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophecies, but test everything; hold fast what is good. Abstain from every form of evil. Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Abstain from every form of evil, I suppose rock music couldn't possibly be included in every form of evil.
