Ephesians 5;19 and Colossians you say are man made laws? You say nothing in scripture says that instruments are not allowed, why would God have to put a note telling you that instruments are not authorized if he's telling you that singing is authorized, remember the two scriptures I gave you, that is authorization, but you want God to tell you directly that instruments are not allowed after telling you that only singing is allowed, are you serious?

That sounds like a double-standard to me. At least Elizabeth's approach seems to be logical.
I don't even know how to respond to him now. He is just out there. Pray for him that he may receive jesus

Sorry. Talk about legalism, You think you are better than the pharisees.
Nothing in either of those passages say a word about not have instruments. We can speak to other in song, and people can lead with music to keep us in key add to the music.

This whole belief in not using musical instruments in the NT because the Bible doesn't specifically mention musical instruments in the NT seems like hairsplitting, and doctrine building out of pure silence.
Picture this..
Dad: Eat cereal.
Me: Ok, I'm going to get a bowl and spoon.
Dad: Hey hey hey, I said eat cereal, but didn't mention a bowl and spoon, therefore a bowl and spoon aren't allowed.
Me: Well ok..but ummm..usually a bowl and spoon are just kinda assumed when eating cereal.....
Cereal = worship
bowl/spoon = instruments.
I think the association in the Bible between music and instruments is just implied. It's something that doesn't have to be spelled out anymore than eating cereal with a bowl and spoon.

Don't you know that the bowl and spoon lead to obesity??

Would you go to one that is instrumental? Obviously you don't read your bible, if you did you would know judging someone who is lost is allowed, look it up and then you'll have learned something you didn't know. True Christians take the time to make those who are lost or confused like yourself as being confused to tell you the plain truth, whether you approve of it or not. Who do you think will be judging at the end of time, look it up and you will know something that will amaze you on who it is. Worship is to be done one way, it's as simple as that,
It's called common sense, if God tells you he has authorized singing only, then just do it Ephesians 5;19 and Colossians is the authority for singing. when he has already authorized singing only Do you want God to put in there explaining to you that he doesn't want instruments, would that make you feel better, well it's not going to happen, because that would be stupid. It's a sin when you worship incorrectly. There are some stories in the bible about what happen to people who decided to do something different, the outcome wasn't good for the two.
Another good analogy! I am the Lord, I change not......Good enough in the O.T. Psalms and in heaven, but not in the worship of God in our time.....I don't buy it at all.....
Having said that, it can also be taken to far when the rock bands replace the preaching of the word!
Think a minute if you will, why would he , meaning God have to put down for you to not use instruments when he's giving you two commands to sing only, that is totally ridiculous. Ephesians 5;19 and Colossians 3;16 are your authorization for singing only, so why would you want God to tell you that he doesn't want instruments if he's already given you commands to sing only?

Hello, I'm Shava and I play the drums, but not when worshipping God, that wouldn't be appropriate.
Except... everything we do is meant to be done unto the glory of God.

Actually this trivial topic is one that "Christians" have used to attack me personally. It is very very hurtful. It is quite a sensitive subject to some while it may be no big deal to others, and everyone no matter their view should be respectful. Afterall there is nothing in the bible speaking against singing in worship so one should not make fun of an individual if they choose to use their voice as an instrument.
