I understand this debate can get pretty heated. Because of my background, three weeks ago I never even knew this issue existed! I thank God that He has brought it to my attention and I have been reading about it and studying it. Which brings a question.
If the Psalms are not sung in the same way they were sung by Israel and/or the Apostles then are we violating the Regulative Principle? In my understanding (which is usually where the problem lies ), EP'ers can possible sing the same Psalm but to a different tune or singing different notes. Does this not bring a creative aspect into worship that is not expressly commanded?
I understand I could be making a false dichotomy! I'm not trying to be combative at all, just trying to make sure that I worship the Most Holy God according to His Word.
