A description of a musical activity by cannibals in Irian Jaya: Plainly, such musical instruments and such musical activity are the product of earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom about the making and playing of musical instruments. Holding that the image of God in man and common grace ensure...

This is not the right biblical response to the truth about the evil activities of wicked humans. When describing unacceptable products of sinful human creativity that were products of wisdom that was not from God, God did not do what you are doing: Exodus 34:13 But ye shall destroy their...

A description of a musical activity by cannibals in Irian Jaya: I wonder if some believers would deny that these drums were really drums and say that they are not musical instruments at all and that this activity was not actually a musical activity. Would some even go so far as to say that...

No, not every musical instrument in the earth has been made by man alone. The two silver trumpets were made by men who heeded direct divine revelation about how they were to be made and played by men who heeded direct divine revelation about when and how they were to be played. In the same way...

Actually, no they are not. Percussion instruments are also a major "type" of musical instruments. It is absolutely not true that all musical instruments are the invention of men (see my post #186). You have absolutely no legitimate basis to say that the supernatural being who sounded the...

The Bible is explicit that sounding musical instruments is not exclusively a human activity because no humans were allowed on the mount to sound the trumpet in this account: Exod. 19:13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man...

Resorting to ad hominem is common when a person has no answer to what has been presented, but doing so does not help support your views in any way.

No, you are wrong. Jubal is not said to be the father of all those who handle all musical instruments---he is only stated to be the originator in some way of handling two of them (harp and organ). The text does not establish anything about there not being any musical instruments prior to that...

And?

Not everything that was in the OT has been cancelled in the NT. Many things in the OT were not part of the Old Covenant that has been done away in Christ. No, musical instruments were not just used "in the temple service to accompany the animal sacrifices." The NT explicitly speaks of the use...

This is a faulty argument from silence. According to this kind of reasoning, there was no singing until after the Flood because Scripture does not mention any humans singing before the Flood, etc. It would also mean that there were no percussion instruments until they are first mentioned after...

Sorry, this understanding does not account for all that Satan and his demons desire. They desire worship, which must only be given to God, and worship is not a human invention: Matthew 4:8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the...

Exod. 19:13 There shall not an hand touch it, but he shall surely be stoned, or shot through; whether it be beast or man, it shall not live: when the trumpet soundeth long, they shall come up to the mount. The Holy Spirit is emphatic in this account that there were no humans allowed to be on...

Most people would say that a cappella music is different from instrumental music because it is to be judged based on the content of the lyrics. Some would agree that not all a cappella music is equally good and still hold that all kinds of instrumental music are equally good.

Not at all. Without any biblical warrant, you hold that instrumental music is only a human and an earthly activity. Scripture plainly teaches otherwise and does so explicitly. You also hold that the Christ's work has done away with the use of musical instruments in divine worship, which is...
