I think the church should go with whatever works. Like I said. It's a mattr of the heart and God appreciates that

IWhen I attended the church of Christ they didn't have instruments and I liked it because I was used to instruments. It was good to see that it didn't have to be a certain way. If a person goes for a walk and wants to worship while he walks, I don't think God would say "hey get an organ". And if a bunch of long haired kids are worshipping with all their hearts I don't think God would say" hey turn it down" .

He's looking at their hearts.

How come you're the only one who ever agrees with me?

[Scarletprayers]

Because I decided a LONG time ago that God decides whats right, there are some things that are carved in stone, no way around them, God said it, and thats it, but others issues that are open to opinion?? I just don't happen to think my opinion should be shoved down any body elses throat, regardless of how dear I hold them.

Besides, I like you..............so I cut you some slack!

[Gerioke]

Appreciate it

[Sanctyfied]

I totally agree with you gerioke

heart and soul Just as David did and he also played the harp

I grew up in a church with NO instrumental music.............so I'm kinda confused on this issue. I've seen and heard bands playing Christian music and you can see and feel the joy and the love of the Lord. But in church???? I just don't know.

Church for me includes Music with worship, it is how I love to Worship our Father in Heaven. It helps to get rid of the thoughts of the world and just bring in Presence of the Lord.

Nothing wrong with sing without music My wife sings all the time without it.

Even in the book of Revelations5:8

8And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints. 9And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;

and Rev 14:2

2And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder: and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their harps: 3And they sung as it were a new song before the throne,

And another one of my favorites,

Rev 15:2

2And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God. 3And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.

As you can see music is a part of worship even in heaven,

pretty cool huh?

COC, I presume?

Matthew 13:52 - And Jesus said to them, "Therefore every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like a head of a household, who brings out of his treasure things new and old."

I often equate Christian music with new and old treasures. The older music is the old treasures and the newer music is newer treasures. They both have their place.

It's sad the way we fight with each other over music.

You know there are some new worship songs that are just beautiful?

Can we please stop arguing treasure? It's what you do with it that matters, not which you use.

OK?
