An honest approach to the study of the Word is all I am going to use. I am choosing not to get caught up in your silly games.

In light of the manner of worship described in the old testament, your notions about the meanings of Ephesians 5:19 and Collosians 3:16 are preposterous. Nothing in the New Testament suggests that the manner of worship was changed between the new and the old testaments. Jesus and his disciples worshiped in the manner of the Jews. The worship of the Jews included mechanical instruments. Jesus worshiped in the synagogues. Paul himself worshiped in the synagogues and the synagogues worshiped in the manner described in the psalms and particularly in the manner described in Psalm 150 where we are admonished to make a "joyful" noise unto the lord. We are admonished to praise Him with all manner of noise making devices.

Your interpretation of scripture is simply unscriptural. It is clear that your position is influenced by your denominational bias and not by any reasonable interpretation of the entire word of God.

Please give me evidence that the Jews in the 1st Century used mechanical instruments of music in the synagogues. Thanks.

Him that is weak in the faith, receive ye, but not to doubtful disputations.

For one believeth that he may eat all things: another, who is weak, eateth herbs.

Let not him that eateth despise him that eateth not; and let not him which eateth not judge him that eateth: for God hath received him.

Who art thou that judgest another man's servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.

He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. Acts 14:1-6


Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. Acts 14:19

Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God. Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. Acts 14:22


This passage of scripture tells me I have probably allowed myself to get entangled in DOUBTFUL DISPUTATIONS. - Yea, I shall be holden up: for God is able to make me stand.
