Tell me one verse which tells us to use drums and electric guitars for singing to God.
Click to expand...
Psalm 150

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.

a tabret/timbrel (depending on the translation) falls within the percussion instruments & was beaten with the hand. it is a certain type of DRUM. An electric guitar is a STRINGED INSTRUMENT.

so all of you legalistic, hypocritical Judaizers get over yourself.

So we can't be satisfied with there just being 'nothing against it' now we have to try and make things up to pretend it's biblically SUPPORTED?

Come on. This is unnecessary.

No one can convict you of this except God. Just be sure that you're actually willing to listen to what He tells you.

To this day the album 'Lost in the sound of Seperation' by Underoath has drawn me closer to God then any other album at that period in my life.

To his very day, Intimacy from Amplified, Determined by Amplified, and Vaakevandring never fail to draw me closer to God when it comes to going through hard times and trials

go read the Bible, and you will see that music notes are not satanic, musical instruments are not satanic, drums are not satanic, guitars are not satanic, and metal music is not satanic...

it is how they are used that makes it Satanic

metal music BECOMES Satanic when it glorifies Satan.

metal music becomes beautiful, wonderful, and an instrument of God's glory, honor, and power when it is used to glorify God Almighty

Your name you go under has a hint of mockery to it...

Psa 14:1 ................... The fool has said in his heart,"There is no God." ................................

1Co 1:18 For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

But did they really have any other insterments at that time then what was listed?

Besides:

Psalm 100:1 Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.

absolutely! why else would these musical instruments be listed if they didn't exist?... you ever heard of a lute or a lyre?

A harp falls under the category of a stringed instrument, as does an electric guitar or any other stringed instrument... that includes the lute
A timbrel/tabret falls under the category of percussion, as does the snare drum, or any other type of drum... that includes cymbals and the Mena'anim

im not so sure you are limiting God as you are limiting men making noise that CLAIMS to be worshipping God. Much rock seems to be more focussed on men, even Christian metal, and indeed the music does have its own lyrics which may be not at all Christian.

Consider this: witches chant psalms whilst doing rituals, yet does it sanctify what they do? Its the same thing with rock, even though the lyrics claim to worship, the music does not agreee!

"For he that is not against us is for us"

As long as the message is good and glorifies God....its hard to speak against it.

who are you to tell God what is music and what isn't?

I know a man older than I am, who is always off key, cant sing worth a crap, and yet from the words coming from hos heart, i KNOW God hears him and hears his voice to be so much more beautiful than anyone else there.

and NO, it is NOT the same thing with Christian metal. you damn and condemn it because you dont like how it sounds, because it doesn't fit YOUR view of God, and it doesn't fit in with YOUR religious view of God...
yeah, definitely sounds like the Sanhedrin.
I've already shown that these musical instruments are in no sense satanic or demonic...

God gave us these instrument to do with them as we please.We can glorify Him with them or blaspheme Him with them... this narrow-minded view of music is like saying a saw is evil because it can hurt people... you have the tools to make a house: brick, wood, nails, hammer, and a saw, but you deem the saw is evil... "the saw is evil because it hurts people; even in tradition, it is said that Isaiah was sawed in half. Another reason to not use a saw."

Come on now! God gave us a brain to use, and instead of becoming the Sanhedrin, let us use our brains! the sound that comes from a musical instrument is like the human tongue: it is the rudder of a ship. It can be used to hurt one and encourage another. Depending on how we use these tools, we can either glorify God, or curse Him.

those witches use the psalms out of context to curse and blaspheme God, like many other Christians do when they distort the Word of God for their own personal gain. I have quite a few friends who are in Christian metal bands who worship the Lord through their music... it's beautiful to hear.

First I doubt witches chant Psalms and second that would mean that chanting is evil, which it clearly isn't. Theres dozens of varieties of chants employed by Catholic and Orthodox Christians.

You know a lot of people will disagree with me on this but im gonna say it.its good to praise God amen thats true the Bible says to do so.but first rock music like heavy rock and screeching rock is demonic. The music sounds r hard n vicious thats the way it is in the worldly music.but now people wanna put that music into worshipping God ok now im not against the words in Christian metal if its saying praise Jesus thats good. But if its just saying like I used to be alone but now ur with me and sounding like its praising God but there's nothing that says like glorify the Lord Jesus then there's a problem. Because wolves come in sheep's clothing and some people r like using God to get money.not everybody but their r some who do that and try to mislead people.there r certain pastors who do the same thing.but I can't understand how someone can praise God in a screaming screeching voice with that very hard aggressive music sounding behind the words. Imagine going into a church n thats the music they r singing to God during their worship then the devil made his way into the church n laughing at the saints because they have no clue what they r doing.the devil lies to them n says its ok but Jesus himself said the devil is the father of all lies he can tell us any lies n we can believe him very easily. Do u think in heaven ur gonna hear heavy loud screeching music up there that music is not joyful it sure doesn't sound peaceful. Heaven is supposed to be a very joyful peaceful place n u think ur gonna hear loud roaring screeching music thats not peaceful at all?remember the devil always mocks God the devil has his own kind of music because the Lord has his own music.until God reveal s to all of us the truth many of u aren't gonna believe me or even try to argue with me its ok im sure many will get mad at my response but its all right im not gonna fight with nobody ill pray that God opens all of our eyes God bless u all in Jesus name.
