Sorry, yet another question on EP.
Some folks view hymns really as prayers set to music, I know that this is a simplification but bare with me. If this is true then would using the same logic that leads to EP not result in us just using prayers from the Bible?
In other words what I’m really asking is why is it not alright to use uninspired hymns in worship whenever it is alright to use uninspired prayer.
Please don’t think I’m just trying to be difficult, this is something I’ve been thinking about for some time now. Also I’m not saying that we should just use prayers from the Bible either. Prayer is a means of grace to us and I know that our imperfect prayers are made perfect by Christ, but I would love to know how EP’ers would respond to the above question.
