Re: Is playing an instrument manly?

that be true, Mr.Ksevio! sometimes lord God lurve to play them butt trumpets to, it be what his mercys sound like

Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? are they restrained? <--- that be isaiah 63:15

Indeed, Petal. The sweet sound of God's bowels is like a harp.

Isaiah 16:11 Wherefore my bowels shall sound like an harp for Moab, and mine inward parts for Kirharesh.

Psalms 98:6

With trumpets and sound of cornet make a joyful noise before the Lord, the King.



So trumpets and cornets are Godly (when they are making a joyful noise) but please note, the verse does NOT include clarinets nor saxophones.

I would also concur that clarinets and saxophones are out. Clarinets have closed tube cylindrical resonators that block even partials (producing what is known as a "dark" sound), and saxophones are used by the nigras in their jive sin inducing jazz. Flutes are probably "in" as they are open tube cylindrical resonators that don't block even partials, just like brass instruments (even though they are closed tube resonators, their bore is conical resulting in even partials). It looks like the Bible (KJV1611) promotes string instruments (like harps), but they have been subjected to much modern debauchery in the form of the "electric" variety.

Luckily, I don't play any "electric" intruments at all. I have bought a trumpet, and hopefully I will learn it. Classical guitar is still good then?

But if saxophones were not used for jazz they would be better? Just wondering, of course. Since I am a skilled saxophonist, I could play just about any songs. Not that I would play any songs, of course.

Clinton plays the saxophone and I do not have to remind you what a dirt bag he is. To shame his wife and our country by enjoying oral congress with that levantine kurva while sitting in GHWB's chair!

He is part nigra, though, on the Jefferson side. Gossip has it that he's been afflicted with the curse of Ham.

Sorry, is this of historical importance?

I play the banjo. Everyon at Tysons Corner Baptist plays the banjo except for that nigra Whitey, he plays the harmonica. That boy has one heck of a set of lips on him.

I remember that boy. He used to clean my gutters and haul my ashes on occasion.

Well I got him to play my trombone, but it was rusty.

Any music is good music as long as it praises Jesus and supports traditional American family values. Remember what Jesus told us in Matthew 16:18: "...upon this rock I will build my church...."

Thats pretty much my attitude. Someone earlier said the guitar is wrong but I don't think so. As long as you are playing for the glory of the Lord, I think your okay.

You just have to be careful to be playing for the glory of the LORD and not fooling yourself into thinking your playing for the glory of the LORD when really you're playing for your own glory. I've read some of your posts here, friend. If I were you, I'd pick up my Holy Bible and read it from beginning to end, asking the good LORD to reveal His Holy Will to you before picking up your guitar again.
