Music instruments.<\/p>\n
Psalms 33:2-3 “Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings. Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.”<\/p>\n
Lucifer was highly gifted with musical talent before he rebelled.<\/p>\n
Ezekiel 28:13 (Speaking of Lucifer) “the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.”<\/p>\n
How do you really know<\/strong>\u00a0musical instruments are bad? Can you show me a verse out of the bible that explicitly says so?<\/p>\n Just by going off the fact that it says singing with your voice so much in Scripture isn’t enough to prove that God hates musical instruments.<\/p>\n\t There is nothing on this site that says God hates musical instruments or that they are bad in some way. They are merely unauthorized by God for His worship in the New Testament. Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches are unauthorized for use in the Lord’s Supper, but I doubt you conclude that God hates peanut butter and jelly because of that. And yet, because it isn’t mentioned and unleavened bread and grape juice are mentioned you have no problems understanding that man isn’t to add what God did not command.<\/p>\n “Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar<\/em>” (Proverbs 30:6).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Question: Music instruments.
