I have a question and also an agreement for you, Paul.
First the agreement - what you said about music on another thread:
Yes, - a joyful noise ( In your heart ) to the Lord, ( not with your mouth )!!! That's what ( God ) is saying!!! - Love yourselves for it, I don't care. - I just told you what God ( said )!!! --- Matthew 15:8-9 KJV -------//--- That's what ( God Said ) also to match all that he says!!!! - You all just like to sing and you like vocal ( "Amusement" / Music ), which is to say, ( You "Amuse" yourselves ) not God; - So enjoy, and pay!!
Paul -- 092212
And you add this here to what you said above:
I prefer the "New Testament". - That's the "Testamony of Jesus Christ".
I think I'll stay with Jesus' Commandments, not David's or Moses'. You can if that's your Faith!
Paul -- 101012
It does say that we are in this New Testament to be worshipers in spirit and in truth. I agree with you with all my heart
regarding music must come from the heart because this is what would make a joyful noise in spirit and in truth!
So it follows to me that rather than any physical tradition being passed on everything was focused on our heart and our spirit.
Both in our fellowship with each other and our worship, right?
That includes what at one time may have been set times of singing and praise being given to The Lord being replaced by anytime - and instead of listing instruments that made glorious sounds we were told to do so with our hearts whether an instrument was found or not.
But in every case hymns and psalms are listed aren't they?
Acts 16:25
1 Corinthians 14:15
Eph5:19
Colossians 3:16
So although we no longer hold to customs over heart content,
we still worship and have joy in the same way David in The Spirit described worship and joy in Psalms, right?
Do you kind of agree with me Paul?
I see you are not answering me lately?
Is it because I reminded you about the verse about women?
