Instruments in the New Testament church? Where is that found in scripture?

[@Luke9vs23]

Where does it say not to? There are instructions on church leadership (elders, evangelists, teachers...), instructions on communion, meeting of the body, but nothing on how to worship.

Next to where Paul says it’s okay for the church, as a body, to own/invest in property. 🙄

@@Luke9vs23 The New Testament says to sing. 10 times. It does not say play. That is where our name is found (Christian/Church of Christ). Instruments of music are not found in the Church though. That came through denominations.

it's good to see unity!

There is no unity in diversity. Only unity in truth
