I am not sure what you mean by "text of the day". However, the claim that has been thrown about on here about people who attend a church of Christ not paying attention to the Gospels is a absurd. There is regular teaching and preaching from all sections of the Word of God.
So you are saying that Paul was mistaken when he talked about the old law being ready to "vanish away"?
"So you are saying that Paul was mistaken when he talked about the old law being ready to "vanish away"?"
Nope. I'm saying that you are misunderstanding what Paul is saying. Again, read Matthew. How long has it been since you sat down and read the entire book of Matthew? It will take you less than an hour to read it carefully.
Jesus was very clear about the law, and that it would not pass away until everything was gone.
Still, this thread has been about instrumental music in the church. There's no reason that a church MUST have instrumental music, but there's also no prohibition of it anywhere in the Bible.
To each his own. Each denomination or congregation can easily decide what music, if any, occurs during worship. Nothing in scripture dictates anything regarding this.
It's foolish and arrogant for one denomination or congregation to insist that only a particular kind of music is proper, aside from a requirement that the music be sacred in nature.
You think that all music in church should be unaccompanied. OK. Then that's what you should do. However, that is not scriptural. It's OK, I'm sure, but so is the music in a church with a magnificent pipe organ, or hymns accompanied by a guitar, or even an entire orchestra, if that is what inspires worship in that congregation. Even the contemporary worhip music that so many of us old folks don't appreciate is fine...if it inspires worship.
Nitpicky...and incorrect...interpretation of isolated verses is what has led to the fractionalization of Christianity into sects and denominations. I doubt that was Jesus' idea for the Church.
Read Matthew.
