Bible Question (short): Music in church unholy? |
Question (full): In thinking about the model of the first century church, after trying to persuade believers of a certain denomination that I do not belong to, that music should be allowed in worhship, I am trying to reconcile that concept of music in church today with that you do not see that activity in the first century church. Any scriptures, thoughts on whether or not it is Biblical to have music in church being that we don't find a record of it in the first century church? I have the same question about praise dancing we don't see that in the first century church either, but we do in the OT? The problem for my thinking is that we do see both of these things in the OT, but not the NT, but that there seems to be some acceptance in certain circles for music of a certain type as being seen as holy if it is largey the old church hymns and worldy if it is too contemporary. But historicaly speaking the hymns of the 1900's and 1800's were seen as radical, unholy, and an abomination to God because they were not what was considered to be the holy old hymns of the church at that time. Now we have the same problem, except that the majority of hymns that are seen as holy are the same ones from the 1900's and 1800's found in our pew hymnals that were once considered to be the music of the devil as it was called (along with the earlier ones from the church fathers and the middles age church that have survived the test of time). What we have here is a situation where from one group of centuries to another a certain group of musical arrangements and words is held to be holy. When something new comes along which uses new words and new phrases to worship God it is considered unholy. blessing abound, bowler |
