I beg of you...please don't torch this into another EP thread. i am aware that someone will say that they are not different and in fact neither is there a difference with Psalms as all three terms are used as Psalms. Then would come arguments over Ephesians etc. with a dose of headings from the Septuagint.
For non-EP'rs out there. You clearly would differentiate between the three. I know what a psalm is. That much OT learning I have. But what makes a hymn a hymn and a spiritual song a spiritual song and where are the differences?
Is one composed ahead of time and the other more extamporaneous expression? Should not a hymn be a song that is sang in Spirit and truth? Are hymns un-spritual songs?
Curious for responses. Exegetical ones welcome. If we could condense Calvin or Henry for brevity and give me a one-liner - I would appreciate it but not demand it. Thanks for playing!
