Only one true church in the bible.

[Shava]

There's is but one true church of the bible, that being the CoC in which instruments are not authorized. I'm not here to become changed into believing that instruments are permitted, I'm here to make you understand that if you are a member of a church that uses instruments in worship you are worshipping falsely and your soul is LOST. The blame lies with spiritually lazy ignorant elders who have been swayed by people who seem to have the personality, the charisma to alter these elders position on standing up for the truth of the word. If you are a member of one of these churches I urge you to go to a spiritually sound church and get right with God by asking your new members to pray for you and to ask God for forgiveness in your error of belief of instruments being permitted. God has his way he wants to be worshipped and that doesn't include instruments. I urge you to study up on these BCV causing the problems, such as psalms, what Paul truly says on singing and instruments and King David and the pagans who used instruments, read and study for yourself to see the truth and know what caused this deadly problem which has caused many to become lost because of the Churches of Christ causing such confusion over instruments, that is the CoC that have gone to believe man instead of God.

Prove to me that using instruments in worship will keep people from Jesus. Lets see some scripture.

Also in the wrong section.

 

[Tongue-talker]

[Psa 150:1-6 KJV] 1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power. 2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness. 3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp. 4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs. 5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. 6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

lol Poor david and his harp. I guess he needed to find another tabernackle and ask for the true believers to pray for him,

 

[Angela53510]

Once again, this is proselytizing for another cult. I have read a lot of the history of CoC and they are considered a cult by every definition of the word.

Besides, I play flute in church and everyone loves it! Down with non-instrumental churches! LOL

What a beautiful Psalm, praising Him!

Jesus instructs us to pray that his will would be done on Earth as it is in heaven.
As you can see, in heaven, they use instruments for worship.
If that's his will in heaven for worship, isn't it wrong to support the opposite for worship on Earth?

9 In this manner, therefore, pray

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be Your name.
10 Your kingdom come.
Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.
13 And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one.

Rev 5
8 Now when He had taken the scroll, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying:

Rev 8
6 So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

Rev 14
14 Then I looked, and behold, a[a] Lamb standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having[b] His Father’s name written on their foreheads. 2 And I heard a voice from heaven, like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of loud thunder. And I heard the sound of harpists playing their harps. 3 They sang as it were a new song before the throne, before the four living creatures, and the elders; and no one could learn that song except the hundred and forty-four thousand who were redeemed from the earth. 4 These are the ones who were not defiled with women, for they are virgins. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These were redeemed[c] from among men, being firstfruits to God and to the Lamb. 5 And in their mouth was found no deceit,[d] for they are without fault before the throne of God.[e]

Rev 15

and over the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, having harps of God. 3 They sing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying:

I'm thinking part of rule #1 here.

If you believe that false worship is a sign of being lost, I would suggest that you check your own salvation.

There are none and Churches of Christ are nothing more than a heretical religion.....

How about all the scriptures in the Psalms that plainly teach it is ok to worship God in song while using stringed instruments of numerous types, wind instruments etc....

OP, you're giving the Enemy way too much power. He and his kind have nothing on our Triune God. They are but gnats. Don't you know that Christ created everything and that things that have been perverted can be used for God's glory to honour him? (naturally, there are exceptions like occult practices and erotica).

Weird. The Church of Christ in Australia is just that, a Christian denomination. This thread topic sounds more like a cult.

Rev 15

I agree and 1still_waters is correct all the way, not to mention all the Psalms that speak of stringed/wind instruments etc.....I really believe that some people do not have and or read the bible and just swallow hook, line and sinker the ole crapola that they are spoon fed by people who are completely ignorant of the Word....

As in the creations that have been perverted by the Enemy can be REDEEMED for God's glory and the furthering of His kingdom.

How can I know how to properly worship God?

Which church is the true church?

I prayed for you, Shava. God bless.

I went to a CoC service once and it was super rigid. Years ago a friend and I were at a Starbucks with our bibles open and discussing scripture. A nice guy came over and starting talking with us…it was great. He asked us what church we attended and we chatted about God a bit. He then suddenly went into a spiel about how CoC is the true church and that we should really be going there. He was asking us if we were baptized, if we believed worship should have instruments. It was so weird. We were like, "Yeah brother we're all good with Jesus right here."

 

[Nautilus]

woo-hoo-hoo. A CoC nutjob. This is gonna be good....

Please let us know more about how using instruments will send us to hell?

Yeah no doubt...can we say...BRAIN WASHED! and or Ignorance is a well know virtue!.....

 

[JesusLives]

I was asked out by a young man in my early teens and as we were sitting in church I asked him where the organ was? If I remember correctly he told me it was out being repaired and then I realize I was in the church that did not believe in musical instruments. That young man was such a nice guy as I am sure the OP is.

So Shave be prepared to duck because some of us have a hard time getting along with those of different beliefs, I don't happen to be one of them. As long as Jesus is your personal savior then welcome to Christian Chat and may we someday meet around the banquet table in heaven, but watch out for flying stones as they will come fast and furious from those not so accepting.
