You are free to feel about me any way you wish. However, I doubt anyone is intimidated by me. If you really feel that I am wrong on this issue, please back up your claims with Scripture. You can post extremely long posts all day long if you wish, but it will not carry weight with those who care about what the Word of God says about a matter.
The idea that listening to instrumental music of any kind is a sin is laughable. I have never said, or implied, that instrumental music in general is sinful. I am speaking only of praising God in worship. We have been given a specific command to sing, and that is what we are authorized to do. Mechanical instrumental music is not part of that command, nor is it even implied in the command.
Every word that I have written to you is backed up by scripture, interspersed within what I have written. Do you not recognize it without chapter and verse cited? I perceive that surely you have hidden His Word in your heart that you might not sin against Him, but then so have many others.
The only thing in this that I think you are "wrong" about is your apparent lack of respect for others' beliefs and rights to their own reading of the Word of God. Disagreeing is your right. - My posts ARE generally too long; I stand corrected. . and I don't feel badly toward you, I wish you the best as I do all people and want them to be saved and ready for the return of Christ -whenever that is. Most of us are just doing the best we can where we are.
I may read in the scriptures where Paul admonishes that women should wear long hair and cover their heads, and I, for example, may deem your sect to be damned because the women get butchy short haircuts and don't cover their heads (with coverings). There is much more scripture dealing with that subject than with mechanical instruments. (In fact, I don't recall any that specifically mentions mechanical instruments.)
The difference is that I give YOU the leeway and Christian love to have the benefit of the doubt, which I think you are unwilling to allow us in the simple matter of musical instruments (about which you cite two verses of scripture that do not even mention mechanical instruments specifically.) You should absolutely NOT go to a church building where there is mechanical music UNLESS you are 100% sure it is not a sin. Of course not, believing about it as you do.
And finally, brethren, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virture, if there be any praise, think on these things. -
