I asked a "Yes" or "No" question, and I never saw "Yes" nor "No". I understand concrete a lot better than vague, read-between the lines, figure out my answer as I run on a tangent trying to preach a sermon outside of the parameters asked of me types of answers.

I understand concrete a lot better than vague, read-between the lines, figure out my answer as I run on a tangent trying to preach a sermon outside of the parameters asked of me types of answers. Actually you asked 7 questions. 4 of which can answered with a yes or no. The other three require an explanation. I answered each of those questions. The first question is alittle difficult because it requires me to know what type of music is being played. I was considering this, and wondering - I know there are several here who believe that worship in church should be hymns only and no modern instruments (or at least this is the impression I get; please clarify if incorrect). For you all, I have some questions. If a drummer or bass guitarist wishes to play his instrument in worship to the Lord, how would you suggest he do so? May he worship the Lord through his instrument? May he do so in church? A Christian musicians allowed to write new songs of worship? If not, why not? If so, may they lead the congregation in these new songs? If not, why not? Would you consider all music that's labeled "Christian", suitable for church worship? This does not answer the OP. People are free to do whatever they choose, but if it were my congregation, I would set boundaries. Not all "praise" music is suitable for the church setting. 1. If a drummer or bass guitarist wishes to play his instrument in worship to the Lord, how would you suggest he do so? People are free to do whatever they choose, 2. May he worship the Lord through his instrument? People are free to do whatever they choose 3. May he do so in church? Not all "praise" music is suitable for the church setting. 4. A Christian musicians allowed to write new songs of worship? People are free to do whatever they choose 5. If not, why not? Doesn't apply. 6. If so, may they lead the congregation in these new songs? Not all "praise" music is suitable for the church setting. 7. If not, why not? Again, Not all "praise" music is suitable for the church setting.

It's not up to me to decide what is and what isn't praise music. But if you had taken the time to read my posts you would have noticed that I stated, " but if it were my congregation, I would set boundaries. Not all "praise" music is suitable for the church setting". Just because something is classified as "praise music" doesn't automatically mean that it's fitting to be shared in church.

I was frustrated that I kept seeing arguments for what I didn't ask, and it frustrated me. So I apologize. But I confess the steam hasn't stopped coming out of my ears..... Actually you asked 7 questions. 4 of which can answered with a yes or no. The other three require an explanation. Fair enough. But in your reply there wasn't a distinction. I saw more "explanation" than I did "yes" or "no". Sorry, but I am a literalist, A+B=C, point by point type of person. I answered each of those questions. The first question is a little difficult because it requires me to know what type of music is being played. I feel like saying, "And you accuse me of prejudice...." We can argue ourselves blue until the cows come home about what type or style of music is suitable for church and never come to agreement. After all, where are music style or type mentioned in Scripture?? The "may he play" and "may he write" questions precede "may he play or write 'this' style or form." And really, I wasn't using this question to lead into that argument. I just wanted to know if those who argue "hymns only" would forbid musicians of certain instruments and songwriters from worshiping the Lord through their gift in church? That is all. 1. If a drummer or bass guitarist wishes to play his instrument in worship to the Lord, how would you suggest he do so? People are free to do whatever they choose, 2. May he worship the Lord through his instrument? People are free to do whatever they choose 3. May he do so in church? Not all "praise" music is suitable for the church setting. 4. A Christian musicians allowed to write new songs of worship? People are free to do whatever they choose 5. If not, why not? Doesn't apply. 6. If so, may they lead the congregation in these new songs? Not all "praise" music is suitable for the church setting. 7. If not, why not? Again, Not all "praise" music is suitable for the church setting. OK, that makes more sense to me. Thank-you.

They have the ability to take us places we never intended go. I just wanted to know if those who argue "hymns only" would forbid musicians of certain instruments and songwriters from worshiping the Lord through their gift in church? That is all. I've learned through trial and error that if I wanted the answer to one specific question, that would be the only question I asked. Including multiple questions within the same post, muddys the waters and leaves an opening in the thread to take a route that was never intended.
