Worship directives in the psalter

[Sam Jer]

How are we to approach directives for worship in the psalter?
Such as:
- dancing
- singing a new song
- using harps
- using tambourines
- having a procession of virgins with drums
- clapping hands
- sacrificing sacrifices (okay, this one is easy)
- bowing down before the Lord
Ext...

 

[Polanus1561]

Does the synagogue practices which Jesus partook in shed light on this?

 

[Scottish Presbyterian]

Why is the sacrifices one easy (relative to the others)?

 

[JH]

Does the synagogue practices which Jesus partook in shed light on this?

Personally, I don't think discussions on what happened in the synagogue are all that profitable. We have to go outside of the Scriptures to determine what took place in it. History can be confirmatory for biblical arguments, sure; but they cannot be foundational arguments.

 

[Sam Jer]

Why is the sacrifices one easy (relative to the others)?

Because it is directly addressed by Paul, the others are not.
I guess the question would more precisely be
1. If we are to assume such directives are ceremonial until otherwise proven, or continued until otherwise proven
2. What we do when such practices seem to speak of all nations or future events ext, but are not repeated in the new testament

“There was a thorough change, in the mode of worship, effected by the revolution, which introduced the New Testament dispensation. So thorough is this change, that no part of the old ritual can be a precedent to us. For all parts of the service of the house of God there must be New Testament precept or example.” - Rev Dr John Kennedy, Hyper-Evangelism: Another Gospel, though a Mighty Power
