But context be damned!Why do you guys insist on bringing the scriptures into your religion when it condemns just about everything your religion puts out???
Psa 149:1 Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
Psa 149:2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
Psa 149:3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
According to God, the Pentecostals are doing it right and your religion is doing it wrong...Catholics, search the scriptures if you want to know what God says...Don't take your religion's word for it...
These quotes from the Psalms are not connected to liturgy. They refer to worship OUTSIDE of the Temple.
Protestants are, unfortunately, quite disconnected from history, both doctrinal and liturgical.
Meanwhile, Catholics use stone altars, as the Jews did. Priests also ritually wash their hands before celebrating the Sacrifice, in accordance with commands from the Old Testament (
Exodus 30:17-21,
Psalm 26:6). Even the use of holy water at parish entrances has its roots in Judaism. Before entering the Temple, Jews were required to undergo immersion in a mikveh (ritual bath).
And there's so much more!
