I agree with you Carlos God can use anyone for his purpose. :)
Fester:
The "Rapture" was in 1980 by Blondie.
"Rapture" was the first song containing elements of rap music vocals to reach number one in the U.S. and helped introduce the then underground rap genre to a larger audience.

The Lord tells us again and again NOT to learn from the heathen and other nations (including Babylon):
Deut 12:30 Take heed to thyself that thou be not snared by following them, after that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou enquire not after their gods [tithing, seeking materialistic gain, doing good works of one's supposed 'free will'] saying, How did these nations serve their gods? even so will I do likewise.
Deut 18:9 When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.
Jer 10:2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Rev. 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
The Joel Osteens, TD Jakes, Rick Warrens, and what not are NOT to be welcomed into our hearts with their deceptive doctrines and false 'kiss of death' smiles:
2 Tim 3:13 But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.
2 John 1:9-11 Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son. If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed: For he that biddeth him God speed is partaker of his evil deeds.
1 John 2:15-16 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
We are to learn the ways of the Lord...for in Him we are complete and lack nothing:
Deut 16:30 That which is altogether JUST shalt thou follow, that thou mayest LIVE, and inherit the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee.
Deut 5:33 Ye shall walk in all the ways which the LORD your God hath commanded you, that ye may LIVE, and that it may be well with you, and that ye may prolong your days in the land which ye shall possess.
Matt 11:29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me [Christ]; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall FIND REST unto your souls.
Col 2:10 And ye are complete IN HIM [Christ], which is the head of all principality and power:
We learn from the Lord THROUGH their disobedience not from them in any way, shape, or form:
Ecc 1:13 An experience of evil God has given to the sons of humanity to humble them by it
1 Cor 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
It is most humbling to come into the knowledge that without the grace of God, any of us could have been them in the world. But this knowledge is also from the grace of God...not them; so it is NOTHING they can offer that can benefit anyone spiritually.
Thanks,
Marques
