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...

Because of the image of God in man and common grace, no distinctive people group could ever be objectively superior in its instrumental music to any other distinctive people group in its instrumental music. True or False?

Sorry to hear of this problem. May God grant you full and speedy healing from it.

Thanks. I am not sure that we are exactly the same in our views because my church does use percussion instruments in our services, but we use them sparingly, and we never use instrumental music that is rhythmically dominant, poundingly percussive music that has been copied from evil people who...

The world's wisdom is not God's wisdom---it is earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom. God commands us not to walk in the counsel of the ungodly (Ps. 1:1); because their counsel is earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom, we must not walk in their counsel about instrumental music. God commands us...

As I have said before, I strongly disagree with many of your views concerning the Bible, how to interpret it correctly, and what it teaches about music that is acceptable to God.

I reread all the comments in this threat tonight to familiarize myself about what has already been said in the previous discussions.

Here is one of them. https://www.baptistboard.com/threads/what-do-you-believe-about-demonic-instrumental-music.119895/

I did not say that Gen. 4:21 shows that the instruments were evil; that was somebody else's view.

Does everything in a list have to be of the same character?

If you have not looked at these previous posts in this thread, I believe that they will help you understand better what the issues are: Intrinsically evil statues Intrinsically evil musical instruments Intrinsically evil musical instruments further specified

Not at all. I have stated my case on that subject in several previous threads. My interest currently lies more on the subject of this thread.

I have already had more than one previous thread on that subject where we have disagreed strongly on many points. I am not sure that another such discussion between us is going to be fruitful.

There is not enough space left in this thread to begin that discussion. Besides, it is more important to continue the challenge biblically the denial that there are any musical instruments that are the products of earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom. Without any Bible to support their denial...

I have already mentioned it several times. Just as there are musical instruments that have been made with earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom, there are kinds of instrumental music that are not the wisdom of God that is from above---they are earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom about how...

There are numerous credible sources that prove that such musical instruments have existed and do exist in many parts of the world.

Sadly, you are so very wrong in so many of these remarks. I do not hate drums and guitars---I hate sinful ways in which musical instruments are played by wicked people. I hate the musical instruments and kinds of music that wicked people have made by heeding earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom...

Thank you for letting me know of your agreement with this very important point that is plainly in keeping with the teaching of Scripture about what sinful humans who hate God are: Romans 1:30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to...
