Yes the directive is prominent if you base your entire method of interpretation of the scriptures on personal deductive methods and then argue from one premise or hypothesis to another until you arrive at a satisfactory conclusion.
This is nothing more than what secular science, humanism and evolutionists call the scientific method.
It also seems the approach to interpretation of the scriptures becomes even more confusing when you add the human deductive reasoning with the historical-grammatical method of christian hermeneutics
The fact that you do not believe in spiritual initiated conversion says it all. If you do not believe that, then it is understandable why you lean on much of your human understanding and why COC doctrine is built on a humanistic approach to interpreting the scriptures that is based on human deductive reasoning.

Would the Pharisees and Sad-juices (spelled Blondese style) please line up with the non music lovers ......bus will be by shortly to pick you up and take you to a non-musical place of your choice you can argue about the location of your destination on the bus... Please exit the thread and allow those of us who love to Praise the Lord with music the right to continue to do so.....
Blond will not be your tour guide as she would like to be leading the choir......Enjoy your trip....Exit signs are marked brightly in red....EXIT THIS WAY-------------------------------------------------> Bye Bye Now....

The last I looked I don't think that it is a "commandment of the law" to play music or not to play music. Was music played on instruments in the OT - yes. I believe that the book of Psalms has poetry, prayers and songs - some of which were used in public worship services. Is Psalms law? ummmm - I'm not sure but I don't think so. Does it contain words inspired by the holy Spirit? Yep . . . .
oh, I get it..NEW TESTAMENT...gotcha...the CHRISTIAN church in the 1st century did NOT
oh, I get it...you select just the NEW Testament..gotcha...what about the Psalms where we are told to sing praises, uses ins
Oh, I get it. You select JUST the new testament, and ignore the OLD TESTAMENT..gotcha humm..so when KING DAVID tells us to praise GOD and use instruments for HIS exaltation, it is no good, nada and to be swept under the rug..Hummm.....keep in mind...a true CHRISTIAN in the 1st century..was a label, first used in the pagan city of Antioch to identify those poor people who followed this dead jewish carpenter named JESUS CHRIST. It was a derrogatory term, much like how the Brits called us colonists "YANKEE DOODLES'. Worship services were held in people's private homes, at the beach, on the front porch of an existing temple, in the woods, in caverns and even graveyards because CHRISTIANITY, in BIBLICAL days, was banned by the worlds conquerers. WHO would dare carry a zither, a large drum, harp, flute, tamborine, etc. around in public to dance and rejoice and worship JESUS? They did not have the freedom of worship as the old testament or today that you and I have. Do you honestly think that the wrath of GOD will come pouring down into the sanctuary of your church if a holy spirit led person with the gift of music and talent used his electric guitar as part of uplifting worship? Get real.....please.

that is beside the point. can you or can you not show us scripture that banns using such instruments or not? Because if you cannot then all you have is your own opinion and thus you have no right to speak ill of using such instruments to worship God thats all there is to it no beating around the bush no using a metaphor no trying to convince us otherwise
It overturns nothing, but in fact compliments his instruction. The two are in no way opposed. The command to sing psalms in no way cancels out accompaniment of that singing, or even instrumentals. The question is about whether or not it is beneficial in corporate worship, not about whether it is allowed in Scripture. It is certainly within our freedom and authority.
I don't know. I guess you want to bring back the rituals of the RC church then? Like indulgences and the necessity of the mass to save? Or that the church saves, rather than Jesus Christ? Because that is what happened to the western church under the heavy hand of the RCC.
The early church got really off course, because of Jerome's poor translation into Latin, and the fact that no one could read Latin, except some of the priests, and what Rome said is what happened. Following an earthly authority instead of the Bible got the early church terribly off course, I think you will agree.
Besides, you never answered a single thing I said in my post!
