1 | Musical instruments in Worship? | Psalm | Dalprad | 20278 | ||
One church I have attended on occasion chooses not use instrumental music in their worship since it isn't mentioned in the New Testament. I find it strange that people choose to focus on such things but obviously many disagree with me. I am interested in opinions on either side of this issue. | ||||||
2 | Musical instruments in Worship? | Psalm | retxar | 20300 | ||
Does the NT mention Sunday School? How about Wednesday night prayer meeting? How about special father's and mother's day services? How about pastors appreciation day? How about the sinners prayer? How about vacation bible school? What about study bibles? How about study bible forums? etc, etc, etc. The prohibting of musical instruments to Praise the Lord is an unfounded belief. Jesus said even the rocks could praise Him! (Luk 19:40). Let everything that has breath praise the LORD. Praise the LORD! (Psa 150:6) Praise the LORD!!!, retxar |

Hello, Thanks for your anwser, and I agree with your other examples. I guess the thing I found strange was the frequent mention of musical instruments in the Old Testament and the complete absence of them in the the New. Why would this be? Some have said because the New Church was too poor to afford instruments. I'm not sure I buy that. Pardon me from continuing to harp on this subject.. no pun intended. Any other thoughts? |

Attempted answer.......................... Dalprad, You have one side that states in worship we should use everything possible to praise God in every way. The instrumentation in the Psalms are used especially to back this position. You have the other side that states in worship we should put away all material trappings. The reasoning is that God had Israel use these things because they were His earthly people and Christians are His heavenly people ("our citizenship is in heaven", "set your mind on things above", etc.). So we should not have instrumentation. There's more to each side. That was just a quick look. What I go to is Eph 5:19 and Col 3:16 which tells of using pslams, hymns, and spiritual songs to teach, encourage, and worship. If I remember correctly (somebody stop me if I'm off), the intent behind these words was to have (or allow for)instrumental accompaniment. Steve |
