Two separate sentences, two separate messages.
What makes you think that the church did not have musical instruments? If you feel this way, why did they do it that way?
Two separate sentences, one single message. They were not unrelated sentences. They were adjacent and contextually related; the second followed the first in subject and in intent. They also formed one single paragraph. Your strawman is obvious.
What makes you think that the church did not have musical instruments?
Judaism did not use musical insturments in the liturgy, and neither did early Christianity. There are no instruments in Orthodox churches. The liturgy is antiphonal, where the priest chants and the people respond. The people are actively involved in the liturgy. It's not a spectator sport. The choir represents the congregation (because not everyone can sing). But the priests always encourage the whole congregation to chant as well. It's not a muscial show, or entertainment. It's worship, prayers of gratitude and praise to God.
