I just don't see how one who embraces musical instruments and non-canonical hymns in the stated worship of the Church has the grounds upon which to reject the inclusion of "praise choruses," guitars, drums, ________ (fill in the blank) also.
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? |
Since Father, Son, Holy spirit= the God Head, Id contend that any attribute or reference to God in Psalms is appropriate and not simply a "foreshadow" various references to God being the Rock of my salvation and so forth.... Its just as true today, as it was 3,000 years ago no?
Just so many churches are blind..
