159: Silence of Scripture and Bible authority
... Denominationalists: "God never said we couldn't play an instrument in worship" Both circumcision and instrumental music were endorsed by God in the Old Testament. (Ps 150) But the New Testament Christians were commanded to sing without instruments. Eph. 5:19 Historically the early Christians did not use instrumental music from the time of the apostles until 670 AD when organs were first introduced sparingly and with great opposition. The Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches split in 1033 AD in part over instrumental music. The Orthodox church, even today, has never used instruments. No Protestant church used instruments before the 1700's. "Pope Vitalian is related to have first introduced organs into some of the churches of Western Europe about 670 but the earliest trustworthy account is that of one sent as a present by the Greek emperor Constantine Copronymus to Pepin, king of Franks in 755 AD." (American Encyclopedia, Volume 12, p. 688). "In the Greek church the organ never came ... ...
