[Church_of_Christ] Re: Can you guess?
Dear Clay
Clay said: I believe the only question concerning the instrument is ... Does it edify the listener?
ED: IM edify? Absurd. The biblical concept of edification does not mean feel good or like it. Biblical edification means to build up spiritually. You talk so much of being against what you label physical worship. Well IM isn't even physical; it's material. At least physical involves something God gave us; our bodies, and which are consecrated to God and presented to him as a sacrifice (Rom 12:1). IM, a material instument of man's making, is incapable of giving praise, expressing honor, showing reverence; it is just sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. It is entirely non-spiritual!
