  • Acts 16:25

  • I Corinthians 14:15
  • Ephesians 5:19
  • Colossians 3:16

    Carrying the ark
    • Exodus 25:14 + Numbers 4:15 + Numbers 7:6-9
    • I Chronicles 13:7-12; 15:2, 5, 12-15 – The issue was not carrying the ark the way that God had authorized.
      • Priesthood
      • Numbers 3; Hebrews 7:11-14; 8:4
      • God said nothing about priests from Judah, meaning that they were not allowed according to the law. Jesus as high priest proves that the law has changed.
        • Strange fire
        • Leviticus 10:1-2
          • Preaching circumcision
          • Acts 15:5-6, 24
            • Instruments are just aids, like pitch pipes or song books.
            • Mark 16:15 – “Go” and “preach the gospel”
            • I Corinthians 16:1-2 – “collection … put aside and save”
              • Bake sales would be a separate method of gaining money – not an aid to the collection.
              • Eight passages above – “singing”
                • Instruments are a separate thing – not an aid.

                  • Psalms 150:1 – In the Old Testament, God allowed worship with instruments and did not consider them an aid.
