BretWhile I respect where you are coming from, I do not think you can argue from silence, as this would mean that God has to repeat Himself. You mention Rom 13:9-10, but this does not refer to commandments 1-3, should we stop keeping those as well. As for the texts Col 2:16; Gal. 4:9-11; Rom. 14:5-6; these refer to ceremonial holy days, which we are not to keep today; however, the Sabbath is a creation ordinance which is part of God's moral law. |

I have been looking at some of these comments regarding exclusive psalmody; I think a few things need to be considered more carefully:1. In relation to the 'song of Mary' there is no Biblical evidence that this is a song, the actual text of Scripture says 'And Mary said' (Luke 1:46), it does not say 'and Mary sang'. 2. The 'hymn' of Matt. 26:30 is universally admitted to be the great Hallel Psalms, which were sung by the Jews after the passover. Moreover, the term 'hymn' is used on numerous occasions in the Septuagint(the Greek translation used in the 1st century and quoted by the NT writers); hence, we have no reason to assume that this refers to anything outside the Biblical Psalter. 3. No translation of the Psalter, in any of our English versions, or any of the various Psalm books for singing used by exclusive psalmody denominations is perfect. The answer is not to invent hymns of our own but to produce the best psalm-book we can. Until then we should use the best psalter available. 4. Note also(in relation to the first point)that the psalter took nearly 1000 years to be gathered together, Psalm 90 being the earliest,Psalm 126 the latest. No hymns were sung outside the psalter during intertestament period which there should've been if ex.psalmody is wrong |
