But I am ooohhhh so teachable.
You make a good argument on guitars and drums etc...
My question is how do you only sing Psalms which never actually name the name of Christ? I know they point to him in type and shadow, I know the Psalms was God's songbook, but to disallow other songs, hymns or spiritual songs that actually name the name of Christ seems strange to me. Thoughts?
