I smell “legalism”.
Does God care about what clothes you wear to church?
Does God care if you are dirty?
Does God care what type of praise music you sing?
Does God HATE electric guitars?
Does God hate Contemporary Christian Music?
The answer to all these questions is NO!
SHUT UP AND SING!
The legalism I smell is from the Con-temporary music crowd. That group wants to rid the churches of senior citizen members. They never want to listen to older people and really have very little tolerance for them.
They hate the organ (ok if that is their preference) but love the horrible sounds of the marginally talented garage band. They say this music and only this music will reach the younger people in the community, but they fail to see that they themselves are too old and out of date to reach most young people. What pop radio station or top 40 station plays anything that remotely sounds like the noise coming from the praise bands? They will judge anyone harshly who tells them their music is not that good.
The larger problem they refuse to see... people who want to throw out all church tradition and church hymns of the past, will quickly want to throw out the teaching of scripture. This is all about tickling itching ears and failing to endure sound doctrine. Woman pastors, gay pastors, transgendered pastors, BLM sermons must be accepted and everyone else is soon not wanted at church. If you don’t think the con-temporary church is full of legalism you a need to get the log out of your own eye.
Probably not, since he likes the psaltery, a forerunner of the electric guitar.
"Praise the Lord with harp; sing unto him with the psaltery..."--Ps. 33:2
Does God care about what clothes you wear to church? Yes see Matt 22:11-13
Does God care if you are dirty? Yes 1 John 1:9
Does God care what type of praise music you sing? Yes Colossians 3:16
Does God HATE electric guitars? No basis in scripture to say. My guess is no. But Isaiah 55:8 should be considered.
Does God hate Contemporary Christian Music? Some of the lyrics go directly against scripture so I will have to Proverbs 30:6 that one
RE: Does God care what type of praise music you sing?
I would say yes He does. If the praise music you sing contains errant theology, I don’t believe that it will receive His approval.
The heretical teacher Arius and his followers wrote many “Praise Hymns” in the past glorifying Jesus as son of God but not co-eternal with God. We should be very discerning of the lyrics of a song we sing.
