The Genesis Record is not an Allegory-part 2

The Genesis Record is not an Allegory-part 2

Any music theology or philosophy that is not based on and in in agreement with the truths that are written in God’s Word.  Also, if a music theology or philosophy does not give the Word preeminence, it is not Bible based, Christocentric, or truly faith based.  All Bible based beliefs concerning music’s origin must espouse the truth that in the beginning God created and those actual acts of creation included music.  Music was not originally the creation of any ancient musician or any ancient culture.

  God took nothing and made something which we call music.  Man only takes the building blocks of music which God created and organizes them into creative patterns.  No musician has ever taken nothing and created music. Believing that music was an actual part of the acts of God’s creation, and not the original work of some musician or evolutionary process is necessary to place music squarely under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.  This knowledge and understanding is absolutely necessary in the process of developing a Christocentric music philosophy.

Thoughts for the Day

All of what is written in the Bible is relevant.  Therefore, what is written in the Bible about music and musicing is relevant.  The fact that we struggle with the meaning of what is written in the Word about music, does not make it inaccurate or not worth the 21^st century Christian musician’s consideration.
