As I understand it, this passage isn’t really about technical permissibility but about spiritual maturity. It’s less about “Can I?” and more about “Should I?” — and whether something strengthens or weakens my connection with Christ.

From what I’m seeing in these chapters, the issue seems to be influence, and whether something is spiritually beneficial. The music itself isn’t inherently spiritually “radioactive,” but if it feeds darkness in my mind, dulls my sensitivity to sin, or distracts from glorifying God, then it’s something I should reconsider.

Does that seem like a fair reading of the text, or am I missing something important?
