The last thread got closed so I am posting my question here:
I have a couple of questions for those who hold to exclusive psalmody.
1. Is psalms the only book that scripture may be sung from? I.e. if one took a passage from Eph 5:14 for example and sang that, or any other Biblical text, would that be a violation in your opinion? Or Song of Solomon or Ecclesiastes or Proverbs, etc.
2. Which translation of the Bible must be used, or how strict a translation must be held to in the psalms that are sung? I am assuming that using The Message or the NLT would be unacceptable. Would a "dynamic equivalent" translation be a violation?
Sorry if these questions are elementary. I'm just trying to learn how you guys practically approach this issue.
