Bible Question: 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? |
Bible Answer: Hello Raven Eph 5:19 teaches the musical instruments are used in worship. The greek word "psallo," which is used in this verse, literally means "to pluck." The proper understanding is a plucked instrument accompanied by voice. Steve |
