Bible Question:
I am a new member, and recently baptized in a congregation of Church of Christ. Being unaware of my churches doctrine with regard to musical instruments used during the time of worship, I am having a hard time resolving an issue. I enjoy both instrumental and Acapella music and have no preference as to whether or not instruments are used. I am beginning to decide that Church of Christ doctrine of no instruments used at worship is a stumbling block. Perhaps one of you could provide me with insite. Is there anywhere in the bible where God specifically tells us not to use insturments in worship. Have read David, the book of Amos. Thank you. |
Bible Answer: BMR47, God's day to you and welcome to the SBF, I understand the lack of musical instruments view of Church of Christ. It is a minor issue, since we aren't told we MUST have them. If you are having a problem with the lack of musical instruments, move on ... so your heart is at peace. If you do, you need to find a church that holds to baptismal regeneration (a major issue). Hope I helped, Seracher |
