Are all music offerings Acceptable?-part
1
Supposing that all music is
constructed equally is a faulty premise.
Since all of a creative musician’s artistic efforts are far from being
equal, one does not automatically accept all of them for use in the context of
Christian worship. Likewise, supposing
that in God’s perfect knowledge, all music is of equal value as a musical
offering to Him is without biblical foundation.
Also, I am quite sure if you were to compare my creative sacred music
efforts with the sacred music of J.S. Bach, you would definitely vote for Bach.
Were all sacrifices recorded in the OT of
equal value as offerings to be presented unto God? No! Did God accept all of the sacrifices that
were presented unto Him? No! Is it proper to consider our sacred musicing
to be musical sacrifices unto God? Yes,
I see no reason the Christian musician should not consider his or her sacred
musicing unto God to be musical sacrifices or offerings. So, it makes sense that, since God has always
had a divine perfect opinion about the offerings that worshipers have
sacrificed unto Him, I see no reason that He would not care about musical
offerings today.
Yes, God is the final arbiter, but who makes the call down here on whether a piece of sacred music is acceptable? Your articles always miss this mark. For me, any music that brings people closer to God is acceptable music.
