I hope that's a joke, even if it is its a very bad one.
I'm not syaing punk music is suited to a church ceremony, but music is not sometihng to be outlawed with the church. I went to a baptism last year, where the song 'Our God is a Great Big God' was played on a CD. There was nothing wrong with it. Equally, there are hyms. As Mrcqm said, music is perfectly fine in a ceremony.
Just to reiterate what someone else (Bobbywan, I think) said, Jesus compared the Kingdom of God to a mustard seed in an analogy. Pizza may not be close to as great as the Kingdom of God, but mustard seeds are even less so.
I agree wholeheartedly. If Jesus had been sent to earth in the present day, instead of 2, 000 years ago, who can say he wouldn't use a pizza instead of a seed?
Now I think you're being blasphemous , also Jesus is God, were not so what he can use doesn't always qualify to us.
If God wanted us to use them, don't you think he would have told us?
Don't you think he'd also have told us not to use them? Also, at numerous points in the Bible, we here of ''Choirs of Angels.'' If he doesn't want us to use music in worship, why would he send messenegrs to us that are communicating through song?
Angels are part of Heaven, plus Choir doesn't mean instruments. Why? I think he did, he told us not to add to the Bible, using Instruments is doing that.
If God wanted us to why didn't he tell us? let are stupid Logic figure it out? Play cue games in verses? You're the one who won't listen, you're defining what you think is best. Maybe Ib think we can do anything we want as long as we worship.
Because he did not create us as mindless robots that follow his every command. His gave us free will. He told us a few things we should do, and what not to do. If he did not want us to think of our own ways of worship (e.g. playing music at mass) why did he give us free will?
So what he told us didn't matter and we can add because we know what's best, not God?
This scroll could mean the whole bible, but does that mean we can add verses in Romans?
Of course not, but I really think the whole instrument argument should be over by now. See mrcqm's and Keplers' last posts (before yours which I am replying to). I think they really put the whole thing to an end using logic. You don't have to use instruments if you don't want to, but no one's going to be thrown in [censored] for it. Especially not people who are already saved from [censored].
I have decided that it is best to avoid eating raw meat whenever possible, and I didn't read The Bible before reaching that conclusion. Is my Human logic wrong?
Humans fail a lot. However -- if we are guided by The Bible, and the Holy Spirit, doesn't that mean that we will make better decisions?
I can't count the number of churches that use musical instruments during worship. And I can't count the number of times I've seen people lift their hands into the air and go into a trance due to some of the music that plays in Churches. When that many Christians unanimously agree that music in Church is a good thing -- it's a clear indicator that it's a good thing to do.
I'm pretty sure by "go into a trance" you meant something more like "pour out their hearts to God" or something. They're not in a trance, that makes it sound pagan and evil.
Wait, a majority of people doesn't decide ho to worship.
Oh yeah. Nearly all of his secretaries are the antithesis to their respective departments
I mean: the lady who's now in charge of education has NOT ONCE been to a public school.
At least one person in the administration has been caught performing illegal contact with Russia.
I could go on and on about all the things wrong with the current administration, but alas, this is not the place to talk about such things. I mean, let's face it, there are still some hardline Republicans out there who either don't have a TV, or don't watch the news enough to learn what's wrong with our new president.
I'll counter only the last point since it's not really true. There's no such thing as "illegal contact," and as a national security advisor Michael Flynn needed to be talking with foreign countries to set up smooth relations between our countries during the transition. The leak itself was definitely illegal and only released amidst the "Russian hacking" controversy to make it look like he was collaborating with the enemy.
However that's actually irrelevant as what really happened is he attended an gala hosted by RT (a news company owned by the Russian government) and acted as an analyst on their programs. That happened before he was nominated and after he had retired from his last government position.
The Russian hacking is false and nothing but a Lie.

How is that bad? RT has better intel than some other news organisations *ahem CNN* which stands for the Creative News Network. Which is why CNN made articles/broadcasts like: "Russian ships spotted near Belarus"... Ahem Belarus is a land locked nation. Or that one time they reported about a Russian sub in Swedish waters... which turned out to be otters. Both are real things CNN has reported
Hey I agree with trump that are media is the enemy of the people, just not the way we means.

This sentence is redundant and repeats the same thing.

That makes a lot of sense. It would be slightly inaccurate though, because mustard seeds are much more insignificant than pizzas.
