For a moment take off your 1st world American church glasses and look at the world through 1st century eastern thought. Now imagine that you dont have a ready access to the torah scrolls or to the letters from the apostles. How do you learn the scriptures? How do you teach what you know? Its easier if you learn in a song. Much like we learned our ABCs, or if you want to remember the skeletal system its easier if you make a song of it. So it was with those folks in the first century. Check out an orthodox or conservative Jewish Synagogue see how they read the scriptures, they chant, which is what the first century singing would have been. Looking at it like that, doesnt the arguments over how we sing seem silly? We have the blessing of having the scriptures all bound in one volume, complete with leather cover and gold edges. Its still fun to memorize with song. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
