Tell the truth. So many things seem to have different names in a
church. The platform is never a stage, the sermon is never a
seminar, the service is never a show, the worship leader is never a
MC, singing in front of people with a pre-recorded song track is
never Karaoke... Just to name a few.

Why does it always have to be called a worship team or something
like that, why the heck can't they just call it a band?

When in Rome... (no pun intended).

Is there something in the bible that says "bands are evil" so they
are
trying to distance themselves from that?

I've seen the Bible twisted to justify and/or condemn just about any
kind of human activity, from justifying racial segregation to
condemning boys and girls using the same swimming pool. I wish I
were making this up.

If you get the Bible, you realize that it is very much about
context. There are a few absolutes, but probably not nearly as many
nor as clear-cut, as some alleged authorities seem to like to claim.




A book written by lawyers, for lawyers.

Perhaps, except that one of its most important points is about the inherent
flaws in legalism.
