Please read post #17.

I had already read post #9 from you. There is nothing prohibatory in either of those verses regarding musical instruments.

As you will see in Psalms 150, musical instruments have been part of worship for a very, very long time. Since your verses prohibit nothing, then Psalms 150 is still in force, I'd say, based on my own studies.

Your point of view is much in the minority amongst Christians.

We are commanded to sing praises to God. And as a matter of fact, we are further commanded to speak to one another. The command is for all those involved in the worship, not just some of them.

As I have already stated, the practices under the old covenant are not binding on Christians.

Where does "the fear of God" and repect for God come in?


"Bow down before your LORD, Your maker"...

A scholar I respect speaks of "micro-calvinist denominations, with membership rolls inversely proportional to their theological precision." Some Christians find hairs to split, others find a world of opportunities to do things for the glory of God and the blessing of neighbor.
