Why do we use organs and harps in our Church services when there invention came by the descendants of Cain? (See Genesis 4.)
17. And Cain knew his wife; and she conceived, and bare . . .
21. And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.
Genesis 4:17, 21
Through the atoning power of Jesus Christ the Lord turns bad into good and can heal every wound.
2. I, having accomplished and finished the will of him whose I am, even the Father, concerning me--having done this that I might subdue all things unto myself--
3. Retaining all power, even to the destroying of Satan and his works at the end of the world, and the last great day of judgment, which I shall pass upon the inhabitants thereof, judging every man according to his works and the deeds which he hath done.
4. And surely every man must repent or suffer, for I, God, am endless.
(Doctrine and Covenants 19:2 - 4)
Some feel God has forgiven their sins but the “works” of sin still have their influence. If we will follow Jesus Christ, His atoning blood will destroy and obliterate the works of darkness!
The Atonement of Jesus Christ works on the Lord's curse of Cain’s descendants in the same way. Do we not use the organ in Church? Are we prejudiced by whom invented the harp or organ? Do we consider the past stigma of these musical instruments? Evidence shows the curse of Cain's descendants is gone! Can you imagine church music without the organ or harp.
