Rich: Musin in liturgy is Causative, culture downstread BH

 Dear Rich:

I continue with causative liturgy, downstream culture, following you Lady's Ordination is sexual error, causing sexual error in cluture.

1--Rhyming is good, but not sufficient. Check wikipedia on 'Rhyming' for its historical place.

2--The Bible unifies by number, by acrostics, etc.

a. For instance, the New Jerusalem Bible (Roman Catholic) translates Psalm 25 as an acrostic in English, as it was in Hebrew.

How could we sing an acrostic? Line out. Have the cantor or elder sing first, and we sing the same thing back. 'Aleph' A line of Psalm 25. Beth. The second line.

3--Let's take a lectionary reading. Most would have significant mentions/use of certain concepts/words. We could (horror of horrors) have one of the Psalm 150 instruments, or a drum, and play that instrument before each.

4--Let's take a Psalm. JBJ has translated them--alas, I did not keep mine well--with number/word/concept

bolding. He also arranged the structure. This would teach our children (aren't we?), especially if we had this sequence: instrument, Hebrew (transliterate) English (or other tribal language) I wish I had studied Chinese!

5--Keep the hymns. I've heard sermons using the hymn. But honor The Word by singing it as it was written.

PS: Maybe next is the question of where evangelism is to be done.

PPS: Psalm 117 (with 150:6) has 5 commands to praise, 6 praisers, and 7 Praised. The line/words commanding praise--put them on the top 3 notes, praiser in the center, and Praised in the bottom 3 notes of the octave. THE TWELVE is wonderfully not arranged chronologically, and can be so played on 12 notes and half notes.
