http://prescriptivepsalmody.blogspot.com/2008/11/exclusive-psalmody-reformed-doctrine.html
Exclusive Psalmody, Reformed doctrine and the PB rules. Posted by panta dokimazete. I have had an on-again, off-again "relationship" with the Puritanboard. Particularly around my view of Psalmody and specifically around the practice of Exclusive Psalmody. Recently a new sub forum was created to address the overall practice in context. This is the introdution to my request for some clarifying discussion. I pray it is edifying. I use the word "dialog" purposefully, because I believe this discussion would s...

The Psalms Supreme! תהילים: The PP rationale used to rebut Exclusive Psalmody
http://prescriptivepsalmody.blogspot.com/2008/10/pp-rationale-used-to-rebut-exclusive.html
The PP rationale used to rebut Exclusive Psalmody. Posted by panta dokimazete. 160;I am merely asking that we ensure that the passages speaking of new songs are truly commanding us to compose new, uninspired song. I am only requesting an evidenced hermeneutic. That is all that I meant by what I said. Not only should we give prooftexts that speak of new songs, but also we should say what exactly the "sing a new song" means. Surely you can agree with this. Among them are several instances. Well, as a new c...

The Psalms Supreme! תהילים: Considering PP and Corporate Worship Practices
http://prescriptivepsalmody.blogspot.com/2008/08/items-of-consideration-pursuant-to.html
Considering PP and Corporate Worship Practices. Posted by panta dokimazete. Some practices mentioned in the Psalms for consideration:. 1 New song composition. 2 Instrumental accompaniment for singing. 6 Shouting with joy. Some practices not mentioned in the Psalms for consideration:. 1 Drama (but, I believe, allowable within context). 2 Instrumental music without voice (I believe the practice would be fine as prelude or postlude to worship, however). At the root, Prescriptive Psalmody contends:. I am a t...

The Psalms Supreme! תהילים: A discussion on PP and instruments in worship
http://prescriptivepsalmody.blogspot.com/2008/08/discussion-on-pp-and-instruments-in.html
A discussion on PP and instruments in worship. Posted by panta dokimazete. I had an opportunity to participate in a good online debate. Around whether the use of instruments is allowable according to the Regulative Principle of Worship. It probably went on too long, as you'll see if you read the whole thing, but it covered some common objections raised by folks that hold to Exclusive Psalmody with no instruments. At the root, Prescriptive Psalmody contends:. Prescriptive Psalmody - Thesis. Deeply committ...

The Psalms Supreme! תהילים: Did the Westminster Divines require unconditional Exclusive Psalmody?
http://prescriptivepsalmody.blogspot.com/2008/11/did-westminster-divines-require.html
Did the Westminster Divines require unconditional Exclusive Psalmody? Posted by panta dokimazete. I thought this article. While very polemic in nature - gave a good answer:. Let me come to the Westminster divines. A greater collection of godly and learned men was never assembled since the times of the apostles. Their view on the cardinal doctrines of the gospel is not to be dismissed lightly. What was his view on this matter? It is found in his comments on the verse “Is any among you afflicted? 2] He con...

Excellent article Examining Exlusive Psalmody. Posted by panta dokimazete. The issue of church music must be approached with great carefulness and seriousness because it concerns a very personal aspect of the worship of God. Exclusive psalmody excites deep emotions in both those who favor it and those who oppose it. This is why unusual care must be taken to approach this issue with a humble heart and mind. Our first task is to clarify the issue by asking three distinct questions. This entry was posted on...

The Psalms Supreme! תהילים: PP - The Confessional Connection
http://prescriptivepsalmody.blogspot.com/2008/08/pp-confessional-connection.html
PP - The Confessional Connection. Posted by panta dokimazete. From the Westminster Confession of Faith. Of Religious Worship and the Sabbath-day. From the 1689 London Baptist Confession. 22 Worship and the Sabbath Day. I plan to expand on the confessional aspects, but I wanted to post the relevant sections for reference.

The Psalms Supreme! תהילים: More on Exclusive Psalmody
http://prescriptivepsalmody.blogspot.com/2008/08/more-on-exclusive-psalmody.html
More on Exclusive Psalmody. Posted by panta dokimazete. 1 The more you depart from the Psalms the more you put yourself at risk of singing heresy or singing the song of an apostate from the faith (maybe Watts himself). My beloved brother, BB. You know I agree with the Psalms as our ultimate guide to worship. But your statement could just as well be applied to preaching not being aligned with Scripture, right? So, we should only preach the words of inspired Scripture without any uninspired additions.
