Dang. You got me. But I'm not gonna admit it.
Cut yer losses, JSM...you're getting decimated in this argument. Scripture doesn't back you up.

We are now at 21 pages, and STILL, no scripture has been presented that fodbids use of instruments in worship.

It is really simple actually and it works with all other biblical principles, if the scriptures explicitly state something (commands) there is no doubt, but if we assume something from that command such as adding mechanical instruments then we cannot be sure on its authorization.

`This grounds we hold for banning musical instruments applies to this other thing we want. Well, we do not care: the other thing is still fine.'As hard as this might be to believe, there are an increasing number of Churches of Christ that have abandoned this foolishness.
`Yes, we know that is our grounds for banning musical instruments. Someone has pointed that this other thing we want deserves even more to be banned under that criteria. No matter: we will not ban the desired practice, and will maintain our ban on musical instruments.'
More and more Church of Christ congregations have accepted that there are no valid grounds for a universal ban against musical instruments.
Some in response have implemented their use in assembly. Others are still not using them just because they are not needed. -
Should We Use Musical
Instruments In Our Worship To
God?
Old Testament authorized Instruments in
worship
New Testament silent about instruments in
worship
Why the difference? -
The book of Revelation is still in the NT. Don't forget that. There are plenty of instruments there. And His Kingdom shall be forever and ever.
I have demonstrated for you plenty of times that the word "Psalm" has the meaning of "with instruments," and therefore instruments cannot be ruled out of NT worship no matter how hard you pound your pulpit and say they are. Therefore you are just wrong about this subject. -

I agree ccrobinson. There's nothing to prove. There is no Biblical proabition against using a mechanical musical instrument anywhere to be found in the Bible (Old or New Testament). But, if there is, please show it.

Anyone who claims that scripture says nothing about praising God with mechanical musical instruments must be ignorant of Psalm 150, which says to praise the Lord with trumpet, harp, lyre, tambourine, strings, flute, and cymbals.
