Christian Gothics - The Goth Bible by
Christ while Gothic - for many people is unthinkable. And yet there they are: the Christian goths. They suffer from prejudice, and curious questions from the fact that some people deny their faith.
service visits, home group and church affiliation. Faithful worshipers and perhaps even volunteer in youth work. Actually, Christians like you and me. If only there was not this would be strikingly different appearance: black hair, black clothes and dark makeup. Gern and striking accessories, such as pentagrams on necklaces. Christians, who are also Gothics - not everyone like it.
What is Gothic?
Goth is a subculture that is spread mainly among adolescents and young adults. To explain what Gothic means exactly is difficult and almost impossible for people who do not move in this scene. In a forum for Gothic-Gothic Christians describes a user like this:
"For me, a kind of Gothic romance and a boundary for black masses and to the people who do not think about their lives.
Black Romantic expressed to me in a way that I love the darkness. I'd rather go walking at night than during the day and prefer to quiet places where I do not see many 'normal' humans, for example, to cemeteries. Also, I almost always wear black, I have dyed their hair black and wearing 'black' jewelry. But these are only externals.
What makes Gothic comes from within - such as severe disappointment of a church, depression, fears in life, hopelessness - there are many possibilities. (...)
The demarcation to society comes to me so that I do not like all people want to go through life living for money or career, etc.. "
Originally, the term comes from the music scene. Later the term was then transferred to the fans of this dark and melancholic rock and punk music. Gothics to define only about her music, is now, however, not sufficient. In contrast to most other people think goths a lot about death and mortality. This melancholy, they present with the dark style of dress to the outside.
Christ and Gothicsein - does it work?
The goth scene is subject to prejudice. Frequently, the trailer with Satanists. One thing is certain: even if they object to many parts of our society, goths are peaceful people.
Most goths sit frequently deal with religious issues come of it but to very different results. Some live as converted Christians. Others, however, describe themselves as atheist and reject the Church. Some even have a penchant for the occult. The spectrum is broad.
Many fellow Christians become annoyed that Gothics constantly radiate sadness and melancholy. Okay, we may all be sad times. Problems arise, however, when sorrow and sadness to be on life, that does not bother many Christians. Because: As Christians we are mandated to tell others about the joy and liberation through the gospel. With a permanently negative attitude a Christian does not credible.
And yet join Christian and Gothic is not enough. Have you ever wondered why your counterpart is sad and dark with these clothes? Although it sounds far-fetched, some Christians seems her life so worthless that they have the idea that Jesus died for them too, almost unbearable.
Remember: A man sees what is before our eyes, but the Lord looks on the heart. (1 Sam 16:7)
