Understanding God’s Building Blocks of Music-part 1


Understanding God’s Building Blocks of Music-part 1

We know that God created the mathematical ratios that form the basis of the musical scale as an intentional part of his six day creation, because He created everything. The Genesis record in chapter 1:31 explains that at the end of the sixth day of creation “God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.”  Therefore, as I have stated many times in my philosophical writings, we know with certainty that in the beginning God created music.  In verse thirty-one God’s opinion is that the system of music He created was very good.

 I do not know about you, but when God’s words specifically mentions music and its involvement with men and women, I search for what God is saying to mankind about music and musicing.  Since God’s Word declares in  2 Timothy 3:16 that, “All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness…”, I safely deduce that that statement of fact includes the mention of music in the Bible.
