1 | So I ask you again, where do you get you | Eph 5:19 | Grace and Truth | 52032 | ||
Tim, We are to worship God in spirit and in truth, John 4:24, God cannot be worshiped with men hands Acts 17:25 Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things. You can't please God on instruments of any kind. So I ask you again, where do you get your authority? |

2 | So I ask you again, where do you get you | Eph 5:19 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52034 | ||
Greetings Grace and Truth!! I hate to disagree with you again, but.... 1 Tim 2:8 Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, without wrath and dissension.(NASB) Rev 5:8 When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a HARP and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. (NASB) Rev 14:2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers HARPING WITH THEIR HARPS:(KJV) The angels in Revelations were playing their harps, pleasing God with their music. In the presence of God Himself. May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

So Tim, are you saying that you are going to play phyiscal instruments in heaven, those thing seen in heaven are not what we have down here, and I know you know that. LIFTING UP HOLY HANDS, is not the same as hands with a guitar in it, the holy hand were empty. | ||||||
4 | So I ask you again, where do you get you | Eph 5:19 | 2ndSamuel22 | 52060 | ||
Dear Grace and Truth, My point is this: If God does not want any to worship Him using musical instruments, then why are the heavenly hosts playing them? If God doesn't like it, would He allow it in His Kingdom? And since we are to worship and do His will on Earth as it is in Heaven, then how can you disagree with playing instruments to sing His praises here on Earth? Col 3:16 Let the word of Christ richly dwell within you, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with PSALMS and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with thankfulness in your hearts to God. From Strong's-- 5567 psallo (psal'-lo) 2b) to play on a stringed instrument, to play, the harp, etc. James 5:13--Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing PSALMS. 5568 psalmos (psal-mos') 1) a striking, twanging 1a) of a striking the chords of a musical instrument 1b) of a pious song, a psalm By the way, I'm not Tim..:) He's the veteran here, I'm the rookie. may the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd samuel 22 |

5 | Heb.13:15 This verse addresses our prais | Eph 5:19 | Grace and Truth | 52067 | ||
2nd samuel 22, Heb.13:15 This verse addresses our praise to God in worship. Among the gifts that are mentioned in 1 Cor. that you all refer to, this gift seem to be missing in the list, why? 1Cor. 14:15 what can you say to this verse? Finally in 1 Cor.12:28-31 Paul seem to have forgotten something in his order of things, playing instruments? |

Dear Grace and Truth, So you go back to the old "arguing from silence" approach? Because it doesn't say it in a CERTAIN VERSE you pick out, we shouldn't do it, right? You seem more intent on the 'logos' word, rather than the 'rhema' word. I have shown you time and again verses IN THE BIBLE, which show God's APPROVAL for playing instruments. Yet, on a consistent basis, you avoid answering the verses I give you. I have even posted the Strong's definitions. Yet all we get from you is your opinion on certain passages, with nothing to back it up!! Why? What are you afraid of? Also, Paul was not the only apostle to have a Book included in the Bible, and yet he seems to be the only one you quote. For your infromation, James, Peter(twice), John(FIVE--COUNT 'EM--FIVE TIMES) and others have had epistles, Gospels, and prophetic books included in the Holy Word of God. Why do you ignore them? I do not mean to sound bitter, but it gets very frustrating when you make valid arguments to someone, and they completely ignore them without answer, or answer them out of context. Would you please give a valid response to the passages I quoted. Thank you. PS: Reread the definition of "psalms" I gave you, maybe that will clear things up. May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |

7 | Heb.13:15 This verse addresses our prais | Eph 5:19 | Hank | 52136 | ||
Dear gentle brother in Christ: 2 Samuel 22 - Well, twice upon the forum this day we meet! It being an incontrovertible truism that birds of a feather flock together, when I read in your user profile that you are a Southern Baptist, I gave you a gold star! When I read further and learned that you are but a year-old babe in Christ, yet already you are set for a mission trip in July, I added three gold stars to your credit all at once! And when I read a gentle, kind, yet firm and no-nonsense post such as the one I am hereto responding, I added another gold star! So you, my friend and brother, are a five star winner in my little accounting book! ..... Plaudits aside, let me position the remainder of this post more on topic and pass along a thought or two I gleaned years ago from reading the works of C.S.Lewis. This fine and distinguished Christian apologist, who did not sit heavy in any particular denominational pew, although he was a member of the Anglican [Church of England], made what I consider some of the shrewdest observations I've ever read on the subject of argumentation and debate over purely theological or doctrinal issues. The quotation that follows, extracted from C.S.Lewis' "Mere Christianity" is rather long, but it is well worth reading at least three times! Here it is: ........... "The reader should be warned that I offer no help to anyone who is hesitating between two Christian 'denominations.' You will not learn from me whether you ought to become an Anglican, a Methodist, a Presbyterian, or a Roman Catholic...I am a very ordinary layman of the Church of England, but I am not trying to convert anyone to my own position. Ever since I became a Christian I have thought that the best, perhaps the only, service I could do for my unbelieving neighbors was to explain and defend the belief that has been common to nearly all Christians at all times. The questions which divide Christians from one another often involve points of High Theology or even of ecclesiastical history which ought never to be treated except by real experts. I think we must admit that the discussion of these disputed points has no tendency at all to bring an outsider into the Christian fold. So long as we write and talk about them we are much more likely to deter him from entering any Christian communion than to draw him into our own. I get the impression that far more writers are engaged in controversial matters than in the defense of what Baxter calls 'mere' Christianity." --Hank | ||||||

Dear Hank, I thank you for the compliments, but I must give the praise to God, who graciously grants me the wisdom.(James 1:5) He must have something for me to do, because I--honestly--had not even picked up a Bible since I was a child, but I ask God for wisdom when I read, and He makes it clear for me to understand. In agreement with you and CS Lewis, the things we do CAN do more to drive people FROM Christ, than our words can do to bring them TO Christ. That's what happens when people add their OPINIONS to what they THINK the Word should say. It is so good to have a fellow Southern Baptist(though we are first fellow Christians) here. We of the SBC get a bad rap for being starched and sullen(can you say "Bible-thumper?), but those criticisms come from people who go to more liberal churches, but don't want people to think they're "intolerant" or "mean", and thus look for a church that doesn't denounce certain sins of the World(abortion, homosexuality). As far as the subject of this thread, when Paul tells us to sing psalms in worship, the word "psalms" means playing a musical instrument. Some people just can't understand that. And to quote Revelations again, the angels and elders in heaven play harps and sing "a new song" in heaven itself. Literally. And yes, we will play music Up Yonder. And we'll understand it better by and by...:) PS: Thanks for the stars..:) May the Grace of Our Lord be with you!! 2nd Samuel 22 |
