Using the Exegesis 101 principle “the obvious explains the obscure”, we need to start with clear passages like Psalms 149 and 150, which prescribe percussive music and dancing for the praise of God in Old Testament settings.

[Bert Perry]Since you say that it does not apply “in any specific way,” does that mean that you believe that it does apply in some general way?Using the Exegesis 101 principle “the obvious explains the obscure”, we need to start with clear passages like Psalms 149 and 150, which prescribe percussive music and dancing for the praise of God in Old Testament settings.
It’s one of those “and then a miracle occurs” things you do so often, Rajesh. Your logic is generally looser than a fish-net designed for blue whales. Again, Exegesis 101; you want to get somewhere on a topic, you start with the passages which speak as directly and unambiguously as possible.

I’m not accepting the invitation to discussion until Rajesh gives us his opinion or says he doesn’t know.
