Isn't this what most of us have done, listen to one viewpoint from the pulpit, year after year? The Merriam-Webster has an interesting paragraph on propaganda:
You may have done this, dunno what church you belong to. Don't know who your Pastor is, or if your church has Bible Studies, Sunday School n such.

But "most of us" attend churches where the Pastor is anointed by God to preach His Gospel, and is the Spiritual leader of the congregation. As well, we have Sunday School classes, and Wednesday evening Bible Studies, and various groups that study Scripture as well.

IF the Pastor is preaching the Gospel of Jesus, then that ONE TEACHING is certainly the ONLY TEACHING we should be listening to.

Musical instruments in the New Covenant assembly of Christ is definitely added. We are to go only by what we receive from Christ as commands to observe, not what David did in his additions to the OT worship.
It's only "added" in the sense that it is not mentioned in Scripture. Nor, as I mentioned, is electricity.

Musical accompaniment is not a doctrinal issue. With respect, I think your position on this matter skirts the edges of ridiculous.
