This is pure nonsense. Now, I do attend a church that only sings acapella. Nothing wrong with that. However, no scripture can be used to oppose musical instruments. Yes, it was in the OT, but while the law of moses is gone, not the entire OT is. Ironically, the CoC attempts to justify killing people in self defense and divorce/remarriage, which were allowed under Moses, but opposed by Christ! Yes, the OT law is gone, but is it a sin to keep it? No, as long as no one tries to be justified by it (Galatians 5:4). Am I sinning by not eating pork? Certainly not.

Thank you for sound Doctrinal teaching.

You're the effing slavers. A bunch of Confederate enslavers who can't get over the fact that you LOST the American Civil War. You also LOST the 2020 election, and you LOST your attempt to overthrow the duly elected government of this country. You will keep losing until your pathetic racist, misogynistic and homophobic religion is gone forever. You people are the absolute worst human beings who ever set foot on this planet.

Good to see the love of God

Nice message ..Have a blessed sunday..

What a cherry picker of scripture. And since when is personal experience (or observation) triumphant over the Word of God?

There’s angels or messengers then there are three winged angels called Seraphim then there are the archangels and then there are Divine Council who seems to be made up of like at least 270 people and these people seem like virgin men. The only man in heaven other than Jesus who is capable of reproduction is Enoch Except Enoch, who didn’t die he was not a virgin man and yet he is a man who lives in heaven and can procreate just like Jesus and Elijah except Elijah and Jesus never had children. The sons of God would be like perfect men and the Bible says that there were several perfect men, including Job, Noah, Abraham, and obviously Jesus. The sons of God seem to live a long time and sometimes they don’t die. There are no women in heaven, the angels have female characteristics like they are beautiful. I imagine the sons of God not angels. Excuse me who accompany Jesus to Sodom and Gomorrah were very attractive even to the men.

I like some of the teachings of COC, specifically I don't think most of them believe in OSAS. However, the "no instruments" rule is totally illogical. He says "they use them in the Old Testament worship", but implies that "that's old testament so thst doesn't count", then he uses the Old Testament, by saying because "God didn't tell Noah what not to do", therefore he implied that God never tells us what not to do. I guess he's never read the 10 commandments. There are harps and trumpets in heaven, "but you better not bring them into my church, or your going to dishonor and probably go to hell". Furthermore, how can such a silly message like this bring anyone to Christ? Believer or not, listening to such nonsense would make me leave and never come back. I'm fact I was thinking about visiting one, but not after hearing this twisting of thought and scripture. To say that God is not glorified by a well played and sung rendition of Handel's Messiah is pure insanity. This cultish teaching is close to being on par with Mormonism and Jehovah's witnesses.

It means that they are criminals too

The last days will be like the days of Noah. You are correct and this is what aligns with my study. I believe when we die, we will know nothing. We will not be conscious from the moment death takes us to the moment Jesus comes the 2nd time to collect His church. Those who have died and whos name was not found in the book of life, will not be raised at this time. The Church will get to go to heaven and maybe this will be called the New Jerusalem where we will be but it will not be on earth YET. We will spend our time listening to Jesus' (our lawyer, God is our Judge) evidence of each person who did not have their name in the book, why they were not there. We know God is pure righteousness and pure love and He has put into place a covenant we are to become a part of if we truly believe in the sacrifice Jesus laid down for us to cover our unworthyness (sins) with His blood so we may stand in the presence of God. We doubt not that those humans chose their path freely just as the Church does. After each human has been discussed THEN we return to earth as New Jerusalem where Christ will resurrect the remaining dead. They will see they were deceived by Satan and be murderous angry. They will converge upon New Jerusalem with the fallen angels but Jesus has our backs and destroys them all with His righteousness (fire purifies). But God doesn't want us to have even one tiny question about those being destroyed. That is why this whole controversy between good and evil has been going on. This has always been the question regarding God's character. Is He a tyrant like Satan convinced a third of the angels he is? Or has God given Satan chance after chance to repent before casting him out of heaven and did God so love us that He even gave up His only Son so that we could spend eternity with Him in love and harmony? We all have a choice to make before we die. Even if we think nothing g about it and refuse to chose one or the other, that is your choice against God. It is all very interesting.

Wonderful worship experienced with you Bretheren..God bless..

silly silly silly boy

*promosm*

Wonderful worship experience..God bless

Except that there's no evidence the Israelites were ever in Egypt, much less captives. We "have the receipts" (contemporaneous records from Egypt make no mention of the events described in Exodus).

Our opinions of Scripture don't matter because 2 Peter 1:20 says the Bible is NOT open for any private interpretation. There's NO place in the Bible that says only sing! Looks like COC is adding to the Bible their opinions.

At least pastor says it doesn’t forbid. So then it’s stubbornness

Being wrong is ok when you don’t read the Bible in ignorance. But reading the Bible pretty much says instruments are ok. So then it dwells into stubborn stupidity

You did a great job Ethan, always like to see the young men, standup and be a part of the Work of God!!! Keep going

Does 1st john 2:22 include unbelieving modern J*ews being the Ant*i Christ? I say it does my denomonational and Pentecostal friends say J*ews aren't included, I'm Church of Christ.

MAY THE GOOD LORD BLESS AND KEEP US IN CHRIST NAME AMEN, PLEASE PRAY FOR PEACE IN THE MIDDLE EAST AMEN, AND THIS WHLE WORLD AMEN

There are now Church of Christ that have two services in the same building..One service uses musical instruments and the other service does not use any musical instruments.

Music or not in your churches is your idea sir ! Life is sound and there is rhythm and sounds of music.THIS is not what God says. If you deny a gift that only God can give man. So be it,the sermon is a very or more important than using a musical instrument. I by the way am a musician,I play a few of them.

if one believes these teachings. How can they have been saved in the first place. One would have to believe God to have contradicted himself in his truths. This would then suggest that ones faith was in a fallible god. This would not be the one and only true infallible God of truth and wisdom.

Happy Lord's Day to all..Wonderful worship experienced today. God bless

Thank you the for that wonderful message and the worship experience..Have a blessed day

TY for Truth taught

Thanks again Bro. Gary Massey for that inspiring message ..God bless and have a great day.

Clapping to songs is not worship.

I've been thinking about these verses over the past couple of days, especially Genesis 6:4. I believe spiritual beings can take a physical form, for example, Satan takes the form of a serpent in the garden of eden, as well as Jacob wrestled with an angel on the bank of the Jabbok. I also agree that angels would have no need to procreate as it is not their purpose. So if spiritual beings can take a physical form (assuming its a form of their choosing), could they not also form the organs to procreate? If they could do this, I imagine they would have done this to create an abomination against the natural order and out of spite and rebellion against God and his creation of Man. Thoughts?

"Can We Prove God Exists?" No......or rather, so far you have failed.

Ugh, this actually makes me sad. God who came down in human form and died so that you may have freedom and joy through his blood, and you've locked away your freedom and joy. In fact, Revelation 2:1-7 ironically actually speaks to the Church of Ephesus, the very church this sermon's passage was taken from. Though you hate the deeds of the world, you've lost your first love.

God Blessed everyone❣️.. I am also a member of Church of Christ in Philippines❣️🙏

Amen brother, preach it. May the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ continue to bless you and your congregation.

It was moral in the old testament and you tell me Jesus died and that commends us from instruments Gabriel is supposed to blow the trumpet

Instruments and clapping was in the OT, but not the NT. So, how can we say no to instruments but yes to clapping--both are wrong. Can't add to

Great Message ..Have a great blessed day...God Bless

Ephesians 5:19 Paul mentions psalms, Paul being a Jew and many in the early church being Jews, would have known that most if not all Psalms used musical mechanical instruments when singing them, acapella should certainly be used as well. Also when Paul and the Apostles preached, they used their natural speaking ability, they didn’t have microphones or speakers, so why are they present and used in this video? At least musical instruments are mentioned, nothing like those are.

😂

Thanks for your videos, I love following.. I’m in a very small congregation in Brandenburg, ky. Thanks for your work your doing for the Lord

God bless you pastor, this strong message has really changed my life

Also this is typical preaching when one has an agenda. He is going outside the scripture and is trying to bring in studies and historians to prove his point instead of using scripture.... He started out saying that indeed the Bible does not teach that all Alcohol or intoxicating drinks are sinful...... I'm going to give you a clue. Jesus said the son of man comes drinking and eating they accused him of being a winebibber(drunkard) and a glutton... Here's the clue, they wouldn't have accused Him of being a drunkard of it was only grape juice He was drinking. It had to be something that could make Him drunk.... if you listen to the actual scripture this guy quotes, it talks about "too much" or being drunk.... to teach that one can never drink something that can make him drunk is sin, is clearly an agenda.... please stick to the a Scripture......I agree with the Lord and that we should never be drunk but there are plenty of people that can drink a glass of wine without going overboard..... The Bible says if we are drawn away, we are drawn away of our own lust. Some men's lust is sexual immorality, some men's sin is covetousness, some it's pride and some it's alcohol... I would tell anyone that is weak to alcohol to stay away from it but I would never twist the scripture....

The strongs definition for "mix or mingled"....,mingle A primitive root; to mix, especially wine (with spices) -- mingle.... It wasn't water it was spices

The Israelis are Europeans converted Ashkenazy, sons of Gomer gentiles, the enslaved Hebrew Israelites in America, and European continent and the arabs Ishmaelites who have enslaved Hebrews throughout the countries with chaos and destruction and rape and murder. 🙏🏽 Isaiah 14;1-7 1 ¶ For the LORD will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and the strangers shall be joined with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob. 2 And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors. 3 ¶ And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy sorrow, and from thy fear, and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve, 4 That thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased! the golden city ceased! 5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, and the sceptre of the rulers. 6 He who smote the people in wrath with a continual stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted, and none hindereth. 7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet: they break forth into singing.

Because you are in bondage to false doctrine.

Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: Praise him in the firmament of his power. Praise him for his mighty acts: Praise him according to his excellent greatness. Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: Praise him with the psaltery and harp. Praise him with the timbrel and dance: Praise him with stringed instruments and organs. Praise him upon the loud cymbals: Praise him upon the high sounding cymbals. Let every thing that hath breath Praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD. Psalm 150:1‭-‬6 KJV
