In your rep..."Psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs." In your reply to Ben, you equated this with what was found in the Psalter. Does this mean the 150 Psalms? If so, then why did Paul use the terms "hymns" and "spiritual songs," in addition to "psalms?" Was he being redundant?John Warrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01830750848604385456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597890.post-11593575568093718892008-08-05T23:07:00.000+01:002008-08-05T23:07:00.000+01:00How are a bunch of unmoving (except for their mout...How are a bunch of unmoving (except for their mouths) white folk more inspired than a bunch of white folk spinning socks?
