Instrumental music in Christian worship is not acceptable to God or the New Testament

I am currently a student at the West Virginia School of Preaching. This debate regards authority of the New Testament in regards to Christian worship, so I would appreciate it if my opponent would stick to that topic and not stray into a non-existence of God/Bible is not from God argument. I am affirming that instrumental music is not authorized or acceptable in Christian worship based on standards set in the New Testament. My opponent only has to answer the following questions according to the law of rationality, therefore the burden of proof is on them. 1. Where in the New Testament are Christians commanded that instruments in worship are acceptable? 2. Is there an example in the New Testament of instruments being used for worship? 3. Were instruments always used in conjunction with worship to God in the Old Testament? 4. Were instruments available for worship before the New Testament was written? 5. If instruments were available for worship, why were instruments not used in Christian worship in the first 700 years of Christianity? 6. Did apostles of the first century have a special end the Holy Spirit (i.e. Holy Spirit Baptism) that guided them into all truth, and subsequently, the ability to discern what was proper for doctrine or not. 7. Should the Bible be the ultimate authority for Christian worship today? If not, what should be? I will affirm the argument in paragraph form once I have a challenger. My opponent has a right to ask me questions in a similar format. If I have neglected or decide upon a crucial question, I will add no more than one question per round. This is my first debate, not that any should go easy on me, but if the format could be clarified or improved, I am open to suggestions from my opponent. I would enjoy a good clean discussion.
Instrumental music in Christian worship is not acceptable to God or the New Testament

Hey, sorry about my lateness. I was in Chicago with my family. ======================================== You keep listing the amount of people who did not use instruments in the Church, and where it says instruments are not used. My simple counteraction to your whole second argument is: Where in the Bible does it say musical instruments are not permitted in worship? Again, I say; David played the lyre, and Chrysostom had the audacity to say his strings were lifeless? Some passages of David's LYRE which had great impacts on people's lives: 1 Samuel 16:16 Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the lyre. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes on you, and you will feel better." 1 Samuel 16:18 One of the servants answered, "I have seen a son of Jesse of Bethlehem who knows how to play the lyre. He is a brave man and a warrior. He speaks well and is a fine-looking man. And the LORD is with him." 1 Samuel 16:23 Whenever the spirit from God came on Saul, David would take up his lyre and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him. 1 Samuel 18:6 When the men were returning home after David had killed the Philistine, the women came out from all the towns of Israel to meet King Saul with singing and dancing, with joyful songs and with timbrels and lyres. 1 Samuel 18:10 The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully on Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the lyre, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand 1 Samuel 19:9 But an evil spirit from the LORD came on Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the lyre, Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape. My opponent has ceased to give examples of why mechanic musical instruments aren't acceptable to God or to the New Testament, ergo, I urge you to vote for the negation of this topic.

Baseball is better than Soccer

[Heads up, I'll be calling Soccer "Football."] You cannot argue that a sport is better than another because it originates in the USA. In fact, baseball was derived from many games, including cricket and stoolball, both mainly known to originate in England. Now to your second point, football is played throughout the world with every nation (outside of some newly formed nations) having at least one international team. Meanwhile, the international play of baseball is small outside of annual championships., with baseball being voted out of the 2012 and 2016 Summer Olympics.
Hitler was a strong, powerful, and a good leader

Hitler... brings to mind Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, and our current Hitler: Iranian president: Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Oh, don't forget Bush (George W, and George H. W.). Your statement that Hitler was strong goes by unchallenged, except that you nor I have the powerful pass to retrieve mor personal information about Hitler. He was undoubtedly powerful to become a leader of so many. He was NOT a good leader however. In the Jews' perspective, the Holocaust was a racial disaster for the entire population? I ask, in rhetoric, how such a ghastly act as the Holocaust can reveal Hitler, the head of it, as a good leader? Obviously, Hitler may have been a strong, powerful leader, but he was UNDOUBTEDLY NOT A GOOD LEADER.
why do gay want christan marrige

I believe con is confused as to what the resolution of this debate is. "why are they not happy just being gay why do they want Christian marriage" and the definition of gay is as stated earlier to be cheerful/happy. I feel con is very confused and I would like to remind him of the fact that I proved that they are in fact happy being gay considering to be gay is to be happy and has yet to provide a valid counter-argument.
why do gay want christan marrige

i mean the word marrage in the issue could the the us there are alot of christans and i think alot less would have issues if thay had a differnt meaning the leagal would thay get the same from a partenship or some other word for it? and less poeple would be upset over the news like i am not gay and i like lesibans alot but it seems like the christan mariage is a religice thing am thats why people are upset i mean if it was hindu marrage vivaah than hindo people would get up set marrage is based of old religice meanings could thay have a differnt word? that could be leagle and would that solve issues people agian sorry for am-typeing-
why do gay want christan marrige

I accept this challenge. Gay: merry: full of light-heartedness and merriment C-A 1:"why are they not happy just being gay " They are in fact happy being gay because the definition of gay is to be cheerful C-A 2: "why do they want Christian marriage" Every couple has different reasons to get married that apply to their unique relationship, and many couples share similar reasons for planning the long walk down the aisle. Whether a couple's reasons are purely emotional, legal, financial, or some combination of these or other reasons, recognizing why marriage is important can help them understand the commitment they have to their long term relationship. http://www.merriam-webster.com... http://weddings.lovetoknow.com...

School Prayer

But the point is that in many schools children are forced to go through with pray, we live in a secular society these days and the vast amount of kids don't believe in God, so a s we live in the society as it is now Prayer or any religious activity really has no place in schools. The Bible says that he who stands on street corners prying and professing his religion has already received his reward and will not enter into the kingdom of God. Groups of children paraded in classrooms and assembly halls would be seen in the same manner the bible subscribes. No amount of prayer sessions are going to make a blind bit of difference to most of the kids who either do not believe in the Christian religion or do not believe in religion at all, they would be better of spending that time being educated on the subjects that matter that will get them the grades they need for future life after School
