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.

God's Wisdom versus Earthly, Sensual, and Demonic Wisdom about Instrumental Music
- Thread starter Scripture More Accurately

It's crazy to some folks and makes no sense.
It's like a pool table, not one thing wrong with having a pool table in your home or playing pool.
But having one in the Church fellowship building is out of the question in our Church.
It's associated with bars and drinking and the things of the world and is not appropriate on the grounds of the public Church.
The same with drums in fellowship, it's the association with the music of the world that our Church rejects and will not let it in.
We draw a clear line in separating from all appearance of the worldly things, as silly as it may sound to some.

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 not to be conformed to the world (Rom. 12:1); because their wisdom is earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom, we must not be conformed to the world concerning instrumental music.
We must heed God's wisdom concerning percussion instruments and their proper uses, and we must categorically reject earthly, sensual, and demonic wisdom concerning percussion instruments and their uses.

Thanks.Amen Brother, we are 2 peas of the same pod!
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 have used such kinds of percussive music to seek contact with evil spirits.
Thanks.

We may be a little more strict in not allowing the percussion sound in, but we are definately of the same old school.
I like to call in walking in the "old paths" a distinct separation from the appearance of the things in this world.

I haven't been to Church in a couple of months with this occasional head spinning from vertigo, that can come on me at anytime.
I can't drive and several from the Church have offered to come by take me, but If I have a hard hit of the vertigo it makes me sick on the stomach and I have lay down. That would be a mess if it happened in Church.
So I'm kinda confined here at home, but hopefully not much longer.
