Re: [TruthTalk] Here's an argument against musical instruments in worship

[GJTabor]

I believe in musical instruments in church.  I sent the post to show the reasoning behind anti-musical instruments.  Notice they used Eph. 5:19 and Col. 3:16 to claim we should make melody in our hearts to the Lord, not melody on a piano.  This is called the "doctrine of silence".  They believe since a piano is not in those versus it is a sin because that is adding to the Bible. 

I believe in freedom in Christ as found in the book of Galatians.  I believe the "doctrine of silence" is bad hermeneutics.  I believe if it's not in the Bible then I am free to do it or not do it.  To take a position that something is a sin because it is not in the Bible leads to this kind of reasoning.   

Glenn,



Do you personally not believe in musical instruments in church?
