QUESTION: Can we justify the use of instruments in worship on the basis that God created the materials of which they are made?
ANSWER: No! On the same basis one could argue for, and justify, the use of animal sacrifices in worship, since, clearly, God created animals! As well, one could argue that since God made fruits and grain from which alcohol comes, we could, therefore, justifiably become drunken in worship to God! Further, since God created “all” of the elements from which “all” things are made, we could, based on the theory proposed, use any or “all” things in existence in worship to God in any way we might so elect. Surely, such confusion was not in the purpose of God (I Corinthians 14:33)! Neither was it left up to man how he would worship (John 4:24)!
