Bible Question: My daughter recently invited a friend to visit her youth group. The girl's father wouldn't allow her to come because we play music and he said that they live by the new testiment and music (even Christian) should not be allowed in the church. Can anyone explain or disprove? |
Bible Answer: There are several approaches to this question. First, I would point to the fact that the Church is not the building, but he body of Christ. The building is not more sacred than your home or office or the corn field, except for the dedication of it's use to corporate worship. Second, music is commanded in Colosians 3 ("singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord"). Some parts of the NT have even been identified as hymns by scholars. This would be strange to have singing commanded of Christians, but not when the Church is gathered together. Thirdly, Instruments, such as harps, are played in heaven (Rev 14:2, so what possible opposition could there be to using them on earth? |
