Aug 19, 2022That is a controversial and a good question. You'll get different answers from different people. Here are answers you would like to hear: 1. Zefen is a slippery slope. This means that you may start listening with saying "ere this doesn't have bad lyrics, it has a good message" but after a year, you will be found listening to songs that have sinful inspirations. So the best solution is for you to not listen to songs that are not secular. Stick with mezmuroch. 2. Music is a tool that touches our souls. So whenever you listen to music, know that the deepest parts of you connect to it. This kind of feeling should be served as a sacrifice for the God you worship. Using such divine tool for earthly and dekama negeroch is disrespectful.

Aug 20, 2022A very nice Question. I had a hard time with this question. Many Christians struggle with this question. Many secular musicians are immensely talented. Secular music can be very entertaining. There are many secular songs that have catchy melodies, thoughtful insights, and positive messages. In determining whether or not to listen to secular music, there are three primary factors to consider: 1) the purpose of music, 2) the style of music, and 3) the content of the lyrics. Since you only asked Q3, I'm going to put it here: 3):The content of the lyrics. Since neither the purpose of music nor the style of music determine whether a Christian should listen to secular music, the content of the lyrics must be considered. While not specifically speaking of music, Philippians 4:8 is an excellent guide for musical lyrics: "Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable"if anything is excellent or praiseworthy"think about such things." If we should be thinking about such things, surely those are the things we should invite into our minds through music and lyrics. Can the lyrics in a secular song be true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and praiseworthy? If so, then there is nothing wrong with a Christian listening to a secular song of that nature. However, much of secular music does not meet the standard of Philippians 4:8. Secular music often promotes immorality and violence while belittling purity and integrity. If a song glorifies what opposes God, a Christian should not listen to it. However, there are many secular songs with no mention of God that still uphold godly values such as honesty, purity, and integrity. If a love song promotes the sanctity of marriage and/or the purity of true love"even if it does not mention God or the Bible"it can still be listened to and enjoyed.
Aug 19, 2022አሁን ቢሆን ብዙ ሰው "ዘፈን" ምትለዋ ትርጉሙ አልገባውም። Bible ላይ የተጠቀሰው ዘፈን እና የኢትዮጵያውያን የ ዘፈን understanding በጣም ይለያያል።
Aug 19, 2022But here's something additional you need to know: you can't use the bible's word "Zefen" to refer to Ethiopian's meaning of "Zefen". Ethiopians call Zefen as music that is not meant to worship God directly. In short: all secular music is called Zefen. Referring to the Bible in different languages, if possible Greek and Hebrew (because those are the original languages) is a great way to understand it. I personally dislike using this word because it is a weak word (no solid meaning). So I categorize music in three: 1. worship music, 2. good secular music, 3. bad secular music. Most people draw a solid line between 1 and 2 because it's safer that way.
