What you have been presenting is nothing more than Calvinism. (Not saying you follow his teachings as I have no idea) According to Calvin the use of musical instruments in worship smelled of popery and was an unnecessary aid, a form of distraction from worship which is contrary to Paul's principles that the tongue be employed in the praise of God, (1 Corinthians 14:16.)
Psalms 33:1-4 ; 150 is the steadfast love of the Lord as we praise Him in the sanctuary. Where in scripture was this commanded to end as this has nothing to do with the 613 Leviticus laws. The Ketuvim which are writings, as Psalms is part of the writings, are not a part of the Torah.
Psalms 33:1 Rejoice in the LORD, O ye righteous: for praise is comely for the upright.
Psalms 33:2 Praise the LORD with harp: sing unto him with the psaltery and an instrument of ten strings.
Psalms 33:3 Sing unto him a new song; play skilfully with a loud noise.
Psalms 33:4 For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth.
Psalms 150:1 Praise ye the LORD. Praise God in his sanctuary: praise him in the firmament of his power.
Psalms 150:2 Praise him for his mighty acts: praise him according to his excellent greatness.
Psalms 150:3 Praise him with the sound of the trumpet: praise him with the psaltery and harp.
Psalms 150:4 Praise him with the timbrel and dance: praise him with stringed instruments and organs.
Psalms 150:5 Praise him upon the loud cymbals: praise him upon the high sounding cymbals.
Psalms 150:6 Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Music instruments in the church?
Most non-Jewish Churches use singing in their worship. However, where most of them do use instruments, I have heard that Jewish worship does not include them perhaps because they may still be "gun shy" since the destruction of their Temple in 70ad [according to some Jewish sources], They were actually the first "Church" of Yahweh and music and singing was highly used by the Israelites in the OT and some in 1st century Jerusalem.

If the economy keeps going the way it is, we may have to go back to the music of the stone age.They didnt have that technology in the stone age. If they had electric guitars and big amps they would have been pumping that worship music to the Most High.2.
Brings to mind this funny 1981 Caveman movie scene:

Again, the OT law (nor Calvinism) is not what directs NT Christian worship. History dhows NT CHristians did not use IM but that IM was a perversion introduced by man centuries after the first century church;

Christ took all the OT law out of the way by fulfilling it (Mt 5:17-18). Quotes are taken from the OT by Christ and other NT writers to show how Christ fulfilled it (Lk 24:44). But nowhere does the NT say the OT would continue to be binding upon the Christian.

Absolutely. That's why myself and others do not participate in using IM.
Again, if one does not have to follow what the NT teaches about singing then why would one need to follow anything the NT teaches?

Christians can learn from the OT, learn from examples given in the OT (1 Cor 10:6) but is not binding upon the Christian.
Rom 7:1-6 the Christian is the one 'married' to Christ and His NT and cannot go back and keep the OT law at the same time else commits adultery against Christ. As Paul made the comparison about the adulteress woman married to 2 husbands at the same.

Jn 4:32-34 true worshippers worship in Spirit and truth. God's word is truth (Jn 17:17) hence NT worshippers worship according the God's will as expressed in His NT. God has not left it up to man to choose for himself as to how to worship. Such would be man worshipping according to his own will, or will worship which is condemned by Paul, Col 2:23. If God left it up to man for man to choose how to worship then will worship or vain worship would not exist. The use of IM falls under will worship:
Paul’s Condemnation of Will-Worship
The church at Colossae was troubled by a heretical movement that seriously compromised the integrity of the Christian gospel. It was a conglomerate mixture of Judaism, asceticism (radical self-abuse), and proto-Gnosticism. For an extended discussion, see Lightfoot (1892, 71-111).
One aspect of the heresy depicted by Paul was this:
Of special interest for this study is the term “will-worship.” It is from the compound Greek word ethelothreskeia, which has two roots, ethelo, “to will,” and threskeia, which has to do with “religious worship.”
First we focus upon the term ethelo, “to will.” Some suggest that it conveys the impression of “to seize with the mind,” to have resolve or determination regarding a purpose, with perhaps an impulsive inclination—as opposed to a well-calculated deliberation (cf. Thayer 1958, 285-286). In classical Greek ethelo was used as a prefix in various compounds which suggested the idea of voluntary action, as in a voluntary agent, or running voluntarily into danger (Vincent 1972, 912). The writer interprets the meaning as “self-chosen worship.”
Famed scholars of Greek papyri, Moulton and Milligan, suggested that the particular form used in the Colossian text was coined by Paul himself (1930, 181). There appears to be a general consensus among scholars as to the significance of the term. We cite the following testimony for those who do not have access to the many tools that address this issue.
The Geneva translation (1557) renders the word as “voluntarie worshipping,” with the text using “voluntarie” in the sense of “arbitrary.” The same version in the 1560 edition has this marginal note: “Such as men have chosen according to their own fantasy” (Hastings 1902, 923). In other words, it is a self-contrived worship. It is “worship originating in the human will as opposed to the Divine, arbitrary religious acts, worthless despite the difficulty of performance” (Orr 1939, 3085).
J. B. Lightfoot called it a “self-imposed, officious, supererogatory service” (204). F. F. Bruce declared that such stands in
Even John Calvin called this worship one “which men choose for themselves at their own option, without authority from God” (1965, 202).
J. H. Thayer depicted will-worship as:
W. E. Vine characterized the ambitious action as “voluntarily adopted worship, whether unbidden or forbidden” (1952, 236). Vine was following the work of Cremer (1895, 733). In the words of another, it is “a form of worship which a man devises for himself” (Carson 1979, 79), a “self-made religion” (Mounce 2006, 1131). Everett Harrison described it as a worship “not prescribed by God but only by (the will of) man” (1971, 72).
In the work edited by Kittel, Schmidt said will-worship is a “cultus which is freely chosen, which is not commanded or forbidden” (Kittel 1965, 159). In other words, it may not be commanded (i.e., authorized), and is not explicitly forbidden, so that if used such is innovative. Lenski says it is “a self-chosen worship that is willed by the will of those who want it and not a type of worship that is willed by God” (1937, 144). The “devotion was not authorized or commanded by Jesus Christ but was stimulated by the dictates of an unregenerate heart” (Pinnock 1985, 195).
The British scholar, Nigel Turner, suggests it is a form of religion “which fails to maintain the true object of worship and in place of Christ selects its own objects.” He calls it an “uncontrolled worship.” It is a worship of “free choice” rather than that of divine choice (1982, 493). The respected work of Balz and Schneider defines ethelothreskia as “self-chosen worship, superfluous worship” (1990, 381). Another scholarly source describes the error as “self-made religion, do-it-yourself religion, idiosyncratic religion” (Danker et al. 2000, 276; see also Hendriksen 1979, 132). Ellicott asserted the term clearly reflects “an arbitrary, self-imposed service” (1978, 181).
Modern Innovators
Contrary to the censure of will-worship by an inspired writer, there is the modern sectarian harangue that “God has spelled out no formula for the worship of Himself” (Blakely 1987, 14). Or the absurd notion that “in no case did they [the apostles] give directives for corporate worship” (Blakely 1988, 37). Accordingly, an absurd variety of changes have been proposed to accommodate a new smorgasbord species of “Christian” worship, e.g., the many innovations of Catholicism, Protestantism, and certain apostates within the body of Christ.
For instance one writer asserts:
Others have argued that the communion may be offered on any day of the week; the issue is immaterial (Hook 1984, 17). More recently (December, 2006) there were those brash and infamous sermons presented by Rick Atchley of the Richland Hills church (Richland Hills, TX) in which the announcement was made, and the case asserted, that the Lord’s supper and the use of instrumental music would be incorporated into a Saturday service for those who chose to worship in this fashion. Their philosophy is: Just elect your own format for the communion service and the congregational music! (For a refutation, see Miller 2007).
Similar innovators could be multiplied to the point of boredom. All such departures from biblical truth ignore the Savior’s mandate that worship must be in harmony with the sacred pattern of truth (Jn. 4:24; 17:17).
Traits of Will-Worship
Underlying the apostasy of will-worship are several godless dispositions.
- Will-worship is arrogant and autocratic. It reflects the self-inflated attitude of Jeroboam the son of Nebat who devised a worship format “of his own heart” through which he “made Israel to sin” (1 Kgs. 14:16).
- Will-worship is a form of rebellion. It is reminiscent of those days of Israel’s judges when every man did what was right “in his own eyes” (Judg. 17:6).
- Will-worship is enslaving; a sense of self-determination is corrupting, intoxicating, and ultimately destructive.
Prepare for judgment, all you who labor under the illusion that you may adjust God’s pattern of worship to suit your carnal passions!

Eph 5:18ff is directed towards Christians and how Christians are to worship. In the worship service there is no proxy worship and members are to sing one to another (reflexive and reciprocal).

I understand this. That is why for years teaching in the church of Christ as a deacon, I never taught for or against IM. It’s called respect. I took my queue from Paul when he speaks of our brother with lessor faith. By example, Paul uses meat offered to idols as well as the Sabbath. If you do it for the Lord, then who am I to say otherwise and if it is sin for you, then it is sin to you. I shall not bring what is sin for you into your worship.
If I use my Bass guitar to worship God outside the church of Christ, then who are you to be my judge? Who are you to bind what is sin for you on me because my faith is much greater than yours?

We call this willful ignorance. You have been shown your error repeatedly, yet you reject it. There is no sense in repeating ourselves unless either of us are eager to cause strife between us. Unity is not uniformity. You have built your case and if that is your conviction, then worship accordingly. Just understand that you cannot bind that on those of us with a greater faith.

Why then do you use the story of strange fire as authoritative in regard to IM music when IM wasn’t even part of that story? I believe those in the churches of Christ only understand those verses as an apologetic response to IM in the NT. For me, it explains why the churches of Christ don’t understand that story for what it’s actually teaching.
If you want to learn by example, why not bring up David who brought IM into corporate worship? And why don’t you address how God responded to Israel over it? Or is it simply that you don’t know these things?

by Tommy Peeler The Old Testament is valuable because it points us to Christ. Jesus emphasized that the Old Testament pointed to Him Jesus said, “You search in the Scriptures because you think that…
Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God. 4 For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth. 5 For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.
Jesus came to fulfill the righteousness of the law as we no longer live by the letter of the law, but now by faith in Christ to all who will believe.
Matthew 5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. 18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Jesus was made the fulfillment of Gods righteousness of the law as He is now our righteousness through faith as we are made righteous through the blood of Christ who has redeemed us from the curse of the law. Notice in vs. 18 that not all the law has been fulfilled yet as we are still under the moral laws Jesus gave to His Church in Matthew 18:15-20; 1 Corinthians Chapters 6-10 and James Chapters 4 and 5. All the law will be fulfilled when Christ returns and we are with Him forever.
I have already shown that Psalms has nothing to do with the Mosaic laws. You have yet to show where Psalms speaks of any of the 613 laws.

Music played an important part in the religious life of the Hebrews within the Temple in worship and praise to the Lord just as it did in the NT today and forever. Christian music is scripture within the lyrics set to music just as it was in the OT and NT. It's all about praising the Lord.
You can use all the commentaries written by man within their judgement of this, but God commands us to worship Him and only Him according to the scriptures. When it becomes about self as taking the glory then it is no longer of the Lord and only man's will that leads to pride wanting and expecting praise from others for what would only be a performance.
Please show me in scripture where this is commanded by God to cease.
