  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

A command.

Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord;
— Ephesians 5:19

Hard to believe that Jesus would deviate from that.

Why would Jesus obey a command from Paul?

"Keeping the Sabbaths" is also a command but Jesus dropped the mic on it.

And is it possible Paul meant that verse you quoted ONLY for the Church of Ephesus?:wave: Have you read about 1 Corinthians 9:19-23?

To demonstrate my point: "Let's keep the Sabbaths".

We have far too much of a difference in the inspiration of scripture to continue this discussion.

Most of the threads and far more posts are not built on Scripture/ Truth. When there are decades of layers of things that are out of order, out of line with Scripture, I've never seen any way to heal someone of all that online at all..... too many contrary voices being listened to, past and present, instead of one voice - Jesus.

The Liturgist said:
They have always been sung, historically speaking. This is indicated by, among other things, the practice of all ancient Christian churches and all branches of Judaism including the more obscure Karaite and Beta Israel (Ethiopian) Jews, and also by the preface to the Psalms themselves, which are addressed in many cases “to the court musician.” Indeed they were accompanied by musical instruments at one time, which are specified for some of the Psalms.

Additionally most Protestant denominations historically sang the Psalms, many of them using them exclusively (in the case of early Baptists, Puritans and Calvinists) or primarily (in the case of the Church of England - Anglicans and many English speaking Orthodox use the Coverdale Psalter or the Coverdale-based Jordanville Psalter (which has the Psalms corrected according to the Septuagint) as it is superior for singing than the version in the King James Bible, which is nonetheless exquisite, particularly Psalm 23.

Now many Christian monks did speak them or recite them silently, and in Coptic Orthodox churches in addition to some Psalms being sung during the Liturgy and the Psalmody, there are also the Hours where the Psalms proper to each of the canonical hours (the 1st, 3rd, 6th, 9th, 11th, 12th and an extra prayer mainly used by clergy and monastics called “the Prayer of the Veil” are assigned to members of the congregation to read silently. Typically the 1st, 3rd and 6th hour are prayed as the first part of morning prayers before the Divine Liturgy (the main Holy Communion service with four Scripture lessons and a sermon).

Thanks for the explanation.

I suppose it's the language, to me they just don't seem like they should be sung, like it's not music even though it says so.

Original language probably would give a different feel to the words.

As Revealed by the Father, the Original gives New Feel, Meaning, LIFE!, simple understanding,

It's a question with no context. Make it straightforward by giving some context. Why does it matter if he did or did not?

There’s a difference between differing on what is meant and differing on inspiration. I have to draw a line somewhere on what/who I’m willing to debate.

You either think He did, didn’t, or don’t care.
