I have been away for awhile b/c I had to work. (work 12 hour shifts) anyway, some people had challenged me on the fact that there is no authorization in the New Testament for musical instruments in the church. I have not been able to find the post, maybe b/c I was called lots of names, I don't know!!!
anyway, Taylorc and Godboy809 here is the answer to your question.
Not a single verse in the New Testament authorizes musical instruments, but it does authorize singing.
Ephesians 5:19
Romans 15:9
1 Corinthians 14:15
Colossians 3:16
Hebrews 13:15
James 5:13
Even when Jesus got finished with the Lord's Supper, the Bible says "And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives" There is never an event recorded of the first church using musical instruments. I know yall say "well the Bible doesn't say NOT to use them" well no it doesn't. I'll agree on that point. However, Revelation 22:18-19 says not to ADD to or take away from the Bible. if you are adding musical instruments which are Not authorized, then you are going against the Word.
