    The Argument From Silence is Invalid

    Webdog Wrote: Plagiarism is the "use or close imitation of the language and thoughts of another author and the representation of them as one's own original work." I never claimed or titled it as my own, besides how do you know that I am not JustAChristian? I know that you are not...

    The Argument From Silence is Invalid

    Do you understand the "Law of Exclusion?" Simply stated, it says that when anything is specifically mentioned to be done then everything else is excluded. For instance, when the bread and fruit of the vine only are mentioned for the memorial feast of the Lord's death then nothing else is to be...

    The Argument From Silence is Invalid

    The Argument From Silence is Invalid Some, in trying to get around the plain New Testament teaching on the type of music to be used in the church, have endeavored to argue from silence. According to this method, because the New Testament does not say, "Thou shalt not use the instrument," and...

    Johny Wrote: We are now 21 pages, and STILL, no scripture has been presented that authorizes use of mechanical instruments in worship. Why don't you give us one Johny. Rbell Wrote: Certainly not by you, have you shown authorization for what you advocate, hardly? It is really simple...

    Music in worship

    Right the scriptures say "sing" so I hold to that teaching and give no other earthly N.T. example and I am the one accused of making an argument from silence, that is funny. Darron Steele: Thanks for the break, its been nice, now mock on Mr. Steele Steaver Wrote: This argument has...

    Music in worship

    The Bible conveniently omits the usage of instruments in N.T. worship, that is the argument from silence. The burden of proof is on you to prove that it is OK for you to go beyond that which has been written for the authority in N.T. worship. 1 Cor 4:6 6 Now these things, brethren, I have...

    Music in worship

    I cannot, just as I cannot show you a passage that Sabbath worship was changed to first day of the week worship, other than the examples of those in the New Testament. They sang to one another. The Bible teaches by: An explicit Statement; An implicit Statement; An "Approved" Example...

    Music in worship

    The Old Testament explicitly stated that singing, playing instruments, and dancing were three distinct forms of musical expression, and each was an acceptable act of praise to God. The New Testament continues to describe singing as acceptable praise, but not one time are instruments or dancing...

    Johny Wrote: 18 pages, and still not a single scripture that says instruments in worship (earthly corporate worship) are allowed. IBaker Wrote: Matt 26:30 & Mk 14:26: “When they had sung an hymn, they went out...” Acts 16:25: “At midnight Paul and Silas prayed and sang praises....”...

    Music in worship

    IBAKER WROTE: Nope just in corporate worship. In one of your posts you commented that Ephesians 5:19 and Col. 3:16 are not refering to the assembling? Eph 5:19 19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord...

    Music in worship

    DHK WROTE: Your can't prove anything from silence, Amen. The N.T. is silent on mechanical instruments in earthy N.T. worship. Therefore you can't prove anything from that silence. DHK WROTE: You assume that they did have instrument were is your proof?

    Music in worship

    JSM17, If Christianity is not about following a pattern then are we left to do what we want when we want it? Is this BurgerKing, "Have it your way"? Do you worship with instruments IBaker? When it comes to music in the worship I will follow the pattern given in N.T. scripture, I will sing...

    Can CoC be considered Christian?

    Darron and DHK, why not actually answer his question, if repentance is not something that we do, then why did Peter not say "Do nothing"? Instead he tells them to repent. Nobody said repentance is a work apart from faith, yet it is a work done in faith yet still a work that leads one to...

    Music in worship

    Maybe so, or maybe not. We feel free to do what we want and like when it come to doing what God either has explicitly commanded us to do or has not told us to do from silence. Thirteen pages on the subject and not one New Testament example of the Apostles, or disciples using mechanical...

    Can CoC be considered Christian?

    Do you consider every group that does not believe in the trinity a cult? Divergent groups? I am sure that I can find baptists or so called baptists that do not believe in the triune God the way you do, does this make them a cult? Is the word trinity even found in scripture? You explain to us...

    You show me the passage under the New Covenant for which Christ shedd His blood for that states that mechanical instruments were used in the assembly.
