| 3: | Acapella Responsive Singing, No Instruments in first century ... Synagogue worship was the prototype for Christian Church. Introduction: 1. Synagogue worship at the time of Jesus' birth was acapella, antiphonal, responsive with no instruments. 2. Instrumental music was banned in all synagogues in the first century before 70 AD and the early church continued this ban to the present time. 3. Congregational singing is explicitly authorized while instruments are not: a. Col 3:16 and Eph 5:19 were letters to be read while in the assembly: "When this letter is read among you, have it also read ***in the church*** [while assembled] of the Laodiceans; and you, for your part read my letter that is coming from Laodicea." (Colossians 4:16). Also both are "one another" passages where you "speaking to one another in song" and "teaching and admonishing one another in song". This can only be collective worship on the first day of the week when Christians are assembled for the Lord's supper and the weekly collection. b.

However, it has not been established whether the structure is in fact a synagogue (Foerster), or if the Jews mentioned donated a non-Jewish temple to Graeco-Roman inhabitants of the area (Kohl and Watzinger; Fine). The fact that a Jewish community could donate a temple to non-Jews should not surprise us, since non-Jewish donations of synagogues to Jewish Diaspora communities are well attested (cf. No. 103, Julia Severa). Modem religious sensitivities should not be applied to ancient social systems of benefaction.

Leadership and government Transition from Temple to Synagogue to church: 1. Qualifications change from pedigree to morality and living spiritual faith. a. The Hebrew Jerusalem temple had animal sacrifices and special "ordained" high priests in a system of clericalism based upon pedigree. Like the dynasty of Judean Kings and scribes, the High priest had to trace his parentage back to Levi though specific genealogical records. There are many examples in the Bible of the general population rejecting the successor in prophetic and kingly dynasties. Both Eli and Samuel's children were worthless and the people rejected Samuel's sons on moral basis. 1 Samuel 2:22; 1 Samuel 8:1-5 b. Synagogues began in 280 BC as a simple group of spiritually minded common Jewish men (Non-Levite) in Egypt devoted to reading the Torah and prayer. Over time a body of elders was appointed from these men.
