"No church I know teaches organs, keyboards or violins are Biblical instruments. They simply use them to fulfil the Biblical admonition to “make a joyful noise unto the Lord.†"
But how do you know that those instruments result in a joyful noise? Show me exactly in scripture where it says that those instruments qualify as joyful-noise makers.
“But how do you know that those instruments result in a joyful noise? Show me exactly in scripture where it says that those instruments qualify as joyful-noise makers.”
There are no commands to play specific instruments. Only a command to worship with joy. Joyful noise evaluated by God, as was David’s dancing before the Lord. None of the specifics is a doctrine. Joyful worship is commanded.
Psa 150:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Psa 150:2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Psa 150:3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Psa 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Psa 150:5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Psa 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.
That covers about every instrument ever made...Even bag pipes...Any and every musical instrument imaginable can be used in church worship...
