All who teach the Church that they belong to to not use musical' instruments in their praise to God 1 (thou s-hait not) should know they teach for doctrine the commandments of men how can they know The teaching of itfie new testament is the teaching 1 of the one Holy Spirit. AH other doctrine is the commandmente of man. 'The Holy Spirit does' not teach to not use musical instruments- in praise in the new testament or anywhere else. There is not one text in the when they teach thou sihalt not use inistruments of mdsic in praise to Gkxl. They teach a negative gospel They away say they do not teaoh them shalt not use of music in praise to God.

If I would take an instrument of music and go to their Chapel and' offer to sang praises to God AVith its music, how quick would I be ejected. Not thou shall not but they would 1 make it a Law of force. That makes them dictator's how, howmudh, when where a complete Law of Bondage they limit praise to allmighty God.

You ask, "Why did 1 they use instrumental music in their praise services?" There was no law against it. It is said according to the commandment of David, and God the Kingte seer, and 1 Nathan the Prophet, "For so the commandment of the Lord by his Prophets." It was not said, "For so is the commandment of the Lord by If we reject music of this service, we must reject the worship of singing, for they used them in this service. i(2 Chron.

29:2) 1 One has said music isi always used in apostacy. God' had ordained a musical' service in Joseph when he went throughout the land, of iEgypt, iwhere he heard a language he understood, not four hund'red 1 years 1 before the law of Moses. (Psalms 81:1 -5) lit is said in the writing of many anWimusic people that it was four to five hundred years after the law of Moses ibefore music was used in worship. Only nine hundred 1 yeairs difference. How did Moses know how to sing praises and thanksgiving with' instrumental music with song of deliverance before he received 1 the law? (Ex 21) By its Ibeing ordained by God four hundred years' 'before the law.

How did the children of Israel know what it meant when God caMed them to Mt. Sinai by a trumpet, a musical 1 instrument which sounded long and loud, which implied short and low iwith many other sounds between these extremes. (Ex. 19:16, 19) (Because they had the use of musical instruments years We find instrumental music was used in praise before the Jaw, and during? tlhe 'law, and the Church used it after the law. God is unchangeable.

"The same yesterdiay, today, and. forever, no variableness, neither shadow of turning. If he accepted and ordered instrumental music in praise 'before the law, and accepted it wider tlhe Jaw, andi rejected it under the new covenant, he would be a changeable God', To a Christian, (Christ like) we (must hoCil of God as a rule of faith and practice to the law, and to the testimony. We must admit the Prophets taught to use instruments of music an the praise of God. If they speak not according to this word, there is no light in them, for the testimony of Jesus is 1 the spirit of Prophecy.
