1 | Mechanical Instruments? | Eph 5:19 | RAVEN | 51902 | ||
Can anyone tell me where the bible teaches in the New Testament that mechanical instruments are to be used in worship? And why does the Amplified version add [and instruments] when the KJV, NKJV does not, and ASV which is taken directly from original scrolls does not? | ||||||
2 | Mechanical Instruments? | Eph 5:19 | Morant61 | 51904 | ||
Greetings Raven! I'm not generally a big fan of the Amplified simply because I think that simply listing every possible meaning of a Greek word can be misleading without a correct understanding of grammar and usage. However, the Amplified appears to get the word 'instruments' from the context and the basic meanings of the terms used. For instance, Psalm refers to the 'plucking of a string on a bow' or 'playing a stringed instrument' (Kittels, pg. 491). It came to mean a song which was accompanied with music. 'Making melody' also refers to the playing of a stringed instrument. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Hello Tim I took my definition from Liddell-Scott-Jones. I like having the Classical understanding. It gives some depth to Koine. The editors acknowledge and insert NT examples. An added benefit is that it's on the web. I like my "Little Kittel" as well, but I don't always have it handy. Steve |

Greetings Steve! I know what you mean! :-) My father-in-law recently retired from the minsitry and I inherited his full set (all 9 volumes) of Kittel's - my dream come true! ;-) I don't have Liddell-Scott-Jones (what is the web address?), though I do have: A.T. Robertson's Word Pictures. A.T. Robertson's Long Grammar (which deals alot with the classical Greek). BAG's Greek English Lexicon of the New Testament. Along with assorted other works, of course! But, these are the ones I use most. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
