The Church-of-Christ argues zealously that 'the use of musical instruments in worship' is a sin since it is not mentioned in the New Testament.

Where does the Church-of-Christ draw the line between APPROVED beliefs from the Old Testament & NOW-BANNED beliefs---as in the words of 'the Man after God's own heart': "I will sing a new song unto thee, O God: upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings will I sing praises unto thee."
------------------------------------------------------------------------------That's what a Pharisee might say today. You now have the chance to respond as my mentor Jesus-of-Joseph would, and I pray that you will!

Argument for the sake of argument is a waste of time and energy.  :peace:

Yeah to make their point because it is a waste of their time.

I'm not seeing 'an argument'; I'm seeing 'a question': Where does one draw the line between 'OT practices that still make sense' & 'OT practices that are now BANNED because the NT doesn't mention them?'

Now if you WANT to see an argument here, it was started BY the Church of Christ---one of their pastors 'went rogue' in saying instrumental music was okay for worship, and so the Church of Christ set to filling ad-space in local papers with articles about 'how their dogma is right and everyone else is wrong.'

My point is everything should be discussed without the sake of argument.

You mean I should tell you what to think, allowing no dissension?
